    Rifle Scopes Scope options in the $750.00 range

    SWFA 3-15 will be your best bet. They have some fixed powers that would save you money for now and they also have a used section that has very good deals.

    308 palma reamer with 168gr bullets

    When the 168 smk is properly seated the oal will be less than 2.83. Also the smk does not need to touch the lands and will probably have the most consistent results with some jump. M852 all the way

    308 palma reamer with 168gr bullets

    Palma is not enough info. There are many different palma prints. Clymer m852 is the bomb for 168 smks. You can get one from brownells for 145.00 and they are in stock. However the 168smk tends to fall apart around the 800 yard mark.

    Gunsmithing Mag Lips getting caught in bolt flutes

    You could always use a tig or mig to add some material on top of the reinforcement plate on the front of the mag and file to fit. I had the same problem running the bolt while being suspended upside down. I had to fill in the flutes because of this and the fact that they would catch wind and...

    Range Report Fastest barrel

    Hi Frank. The barrels in question are similar specs and use the same ammo and reamer. This has just been my experience but I do not feel like there is enough practical difference in velocity to matter to me. They all use about the same dope.

    Bipod recommendation

    I sold my atlas and will continue using harris. I tried hard to like the Atlas but could not get used to it. I am much more proficient with the Harris. Guess you don't know until you try it.

    Broken extractor help

    Is your bolt sticky, or are you shooting hot reloads? Just asking because there might be something going on that caused it to break. Brownells should have them in stock. Buy several and replace them at regular intervals as routine maintenance. They can be replaced in the field in just a few...
