    Gunsmithing Cutting a inch off a new custom barrel?

    Just got a new barrel from Bartlein. Featherweight SS for a .257 Roberts going on a HVA action. My question is how vital is cutting a inch off the muzzle end? Could I get away with say cutting 1/2" inch? I would like for it be as long as I can get it. If anyone out there has a opinion on the 1...

    Rifle Scopes Best glass that will focus down to 25yds?

    Re: Best glass that will focus down to 25yds? My 4.5X14 Leopold vx-III focues down to 25 yards on 14x and then some. I would guess it goes down to about 23. The 6.5X20 EFR will focus way down very close even on 20 power. Like ten yards. I've got no experiance with the side-focus 4.5X14 and I...

    Tikka t3 223 varmint question

    Re: Tikka t3 223 varmint question I have a early Sako 75 .223 that doesn't say the twist on it. It is 1-12 as I have checked. My newer Sako 75 Greywolf says "Cal. 223 8" " I would guess if it don't say it is a 1-12 twist. Best way is to just look. The faster twist is easy to spot compared...

    velocitors

    Re: velocitors I read over on another forum that CCI had put a tad slower powder in them that increased the velocity by about 40 fps over the first version of the Velocitor. That is a lot when your talking about a .22 LR. I use a hollow pointer for mine. I get a deep hollow point in about a...

    Rifle Scopes Confuse leupold EFR,who can help me?

    Re: Confuse leupold EFR,who can help me? turn the scope up to 20 power. Point it at a target 15 yards away. Turn the objective till the target is clear. Look at your objective and it should be right on or near the 15 meter mark.

    69 gr. SMK HPBT need load!

    Re: 69 gr. SMK HPBT need load! 26.5 of Varget is a pretty hot load. Depending on your brass and bullet seating it could be a compressed load. Start off with 25 grains and work up. What brass you loading? .223 brass goes from thick to thin. Some loads that are max in one brass might be too hot...
