    Maggie’s Porch pirate got more than they bargained for...

    I That number shocked me too! But who orders Tarantulas through the mail? And what are they doing with 10 of them? You might be on to something about them being eaten! Crazy family reunion delicacy?

    You are correct, it does say 1/8 MOA click, so it actually does hit second rev at the half MOA, which is still REALLY strange.

    What barrel for Curtis Vector

    I hadn’t seen those. I do have a couple of 5R barrels I like a lot so the Bartlein option might be a good one. Anybody have experience with Paradigm’s barrels or smith work?

    What barrel for Curtis Vector

    Thanks for the replies everyone! His products seem to be great so I think I’ll at least give Keystone a chance and give him a call. What do you all recommend for freebore on the 6 Creedmore for the 105 Hybrids, 110 SMK and 115DTAC? I’ll probably use mostly the 105 Hybrid so was thinking .110-.120”

    What barrel for Curtis Vector

    That’s what I have heard so far, but I know the blank manufacturer isn’t the only variable so hopefully someone who has experience with Straight Jacket Armory will chime in.

    What barrel for Curtis Vector

    Whose “prefits”/shouldered & chambered barrels are Curtis Vector owners running? Gonna be a 26” 6mm Creedmore M24 or MTU contour. PVA has a 16 week plus lead time so I have been looking at a Krieger from Keystone Accuracy, Proof Stainless Barrel from Straight Jacket Armory or possibly a...

    Rifle Scopes Scope base bedding?

    What I don’t quite get is that if I only snug the rear screw I get a tiny bit of light coming through up front, if I only snug the front screw I get a tiny bit of light coming through in the rear, if a barely snug both then there is no light, but the bedding instructions say to put the screws in...

    Rifle Scopes Scope base bedding?

    Since my scope base uses a dowel pin as a recoil lug, if I do bed the base should I just leave that out and then fill the hole with epoxy and then wax the inside of the receiver hole and fill it with epoxy too so the epoxy acts as a recoil lug? I read one place that with the Tikka it can’t be a...

    Rifle Scopes Scope base bedding?

    The base is straight, I checked it before and during the test fit. I am pretty sure there isn’t anything small under the base cause when I took the stock base off it had a bunch of Loctite or epoxy or something under it so I spent a lot of time scraping off and brushing off the top of the...

    Rifle Scopes Scope base bedding?

    Ok that’s what was confusing me. I didn’t see how it could work to only do one side with this type of base. Thanks for the input everyone, I guess I’ll just go ahead and do it. As long as I don’t screw up the release agent the worst I would do is ruin the base.

    Why would I lose it? I’ve never heard that before.

    Rifle Scopes Scope base bedding?

    I guess I forgot to mention it is a 20MOA base. Would you still only bed the rear in that case?

    Rifle Scopes Scope base bedding?

    Even though it’s a full length flat rail? It’s not like a Rem 700 where there is a notch/cutout in the center, it’s completely flat and even height along its whole length.

    Rifle Scopes Scope base bedding?

    I am putting together a long range shooting/beginner PRS setup with a Tikka T3 using a Murphy Precision Socpe Rail & ARC M10 Rings and have read about scope base bedding and understand the idea behind it and during the checking out of the base I found there is a TINY bit of gap when I snug only...

    Gunsmithing cerakote

    Re: cerakote Does anyone know if there is a color difference between the H-series Flat Dark Earth and the Air dry Flat Dark Earth? I know that the oven cure can have the sheen adjusted and the air dry cannot but will that make the color of the air dry look different?

    GOOD CHEAP RANGEFINDER ??

    Re: GOOD CHEAP RANGEFINDER ?? I got my Bushnell Elite 1500 brand new for like $279 and i love it. Never have trouble getting a return, it has modes for ranging targets, brush or game. Like others said, it might be hard getting a decent one for out to 1,000 yards for under the $200 unless you...

    Versa pod? Ideal Bipod height?

    Re: Versa pod? Ideal Bipod height? oh,by the way, I think the model I am talking about is model# S-BRM, but not sure. Also, if you are wanting to take it off and on it can be a little hard to get it tight enough on the sling swivel by hand to the point that you know it won't turn if bumped...

    Versa pod? Ideal Bipod height?

    Re: Versa pod? Ideal Bipod height? I tried one of the Versa-pods and after shooting with it two times I went back to my Harris and will never look back. I had one with the friction lock knobs but it still felt too sloppy for my liking and my groups did open up a bit and were very...
