    SAC "The seating die" horrible runout

    OK, I wasn't sure if you had sent in the seater to get modified/switched-out or if you used a different bullet profile like the tech support mentioned.

    SAC "The seating die" horrible runout

    Maybe I missed your results, but did the die have an issue and get fixed/replaced/modified by SAC to fit the bullet profile?

    .308 - Sierra 169 SMK loads

    Probably not worth "one more big push". Some barrels just might not like it no matter what. If the second powder didn't work, why try a 7th, 8th?

    Differences between the Mark 4 Leupold M3 and the Vari-X III M3?

    Yeah, dunno, I've seen both styles. Maybe one is for the Vari-X vs Mk4. As for selling price, the LR Tactical Vari-X seems to have a bit of a premium over the similar Mk4 M3. When I sold mine the buyer said something the M110 cloners were looking for.

    Differences between the Mark 4 Leupold M3 and the Vari-X III M3?

    I was referring to "alltheway" saying you had hunting scopes. Yes, we're on the same page and I know which ones you are talking about. I had one of those LR Vari-X on my M14. Unless you have the older ones with turret "rings" instead of caps?

    Differences between the Mark 4 Leupold M3 and the Vari-X III M3?

    Sounds like you are mixing up the hunting ones with the LR or Tactical series. They did have some Vari-X III tactical target models that were more like the hunting models with tall target knobs and matte black finish. A long time back I had called Leupold Custom shop to get clarification on the...

    RemArms Sloppy Warranty Repair

    Is Remington really fitting bolts to receivers, or just throwing bolts in and checking with Go/No Go gauges.....

    Eh, trigger worked fine, wasn't even one of his concerns......missing bolt, yeah, that's an issue.

    RemArms Sloppy Warranty Repair

    Eh, I guess I'm the one person that would accept staking the pins. It's a mass-produced Remington after all.

    Why is my scope canted?

    Maybe you can't trust top surfaces of knobs/caps to match the reticle.....trust the reticle. Then again, we're looking at two cheap plastic spirit levels that could come as prizes in a Crackerjacks box.

    Problem with one of my gun safes.

    At least dial locks might give an indication that something is going wrong right before they fail; dial feels "gritty/rough" or suddenly it took two tries to unlock.
