    Rifle Scopes ID this scope mount please????

    That is correct, and just to add one thing of value, these and all other tactical rings that MAK/recknagel make are truly great, I have some 34 mm rings and I belive two rails from there production, all great. /Chris

    Gap 6xc

    That is my 6XC in the middle there, flanked by a now defunc 6,5x47L and a 308 Win, there are few other cals that I shoot that I find are so easy to shoot well at extended ranges. /Chris

    Gap 6xc

    I have a Pierce SA barreled and chambered with a shilen 1:8 twist heavyish barrel in 6XC, in a Mcm A5-3 stock the thing is the caliber just shoots so well and I have yet to need more than one round per head of game to lay them flat, from Fallow deer to rabbits, they are all one shot kills. I...

    Ziess has done octagonal tubes on some of there anniversary modells, they did not sell, nor where they easy to mount on rifles, btw they had internal rails but still they were not easy to deal with. Is there such a thing as a good idea, bad result? Best regards Chris

    Rifle Scopes Swarovski rifle scopes- What are peoples' thoughts about durability?

    Sure and so are the large Z6 swaros, however not as tactical at all, the older style swaros are great keepers, solid performers regarding internals and lenses, more wellbuilt, I have extended time behind a 6-24x 50 like this one eGun great glas, limited to about 6-8 mils of adjustment, and...

    Dont touch primers: Truth or Fiction

    I handfeed each one of the primers I use/seat and shoot, I have shot more than 30 000 of my own reloads through the years, and I have never had one not go bang, however I can see the reason and validity of the arguments put forward by Victor above, I would not have greased up fingers used for...

    Primers too tight

    I think it´s a question of being used to it and accepting it for what it is, I usually get 15 reload out of a set of 100 308 Win cases Norma, I have never once had Rem/Win make it at all, RWS/sako, made by Norma and Lapua are the other headstamps that I find usefull. The seating of primers is a...

    Suppressors Pros and cons of sealed vs break down suppressor

    Rimfire- yes cause they get messy Centerfire- no need, the suppressor is supposed to selfclean and unless that, they only last about the lifetime of a barrel, alu versions that is and then its´s time for a new one. /Chris

    Primers too tight

    Norma is tight in 6,5x55 for the first two/three reloadings, just keep at it and keep the primer pockets clean. /CHris

    208 A-Max

    The benchrest crowd do not give a hoot about weight, they keep slinging those 6 mm bullets in smaller and smaller groups, and let me tell you the ones I know, they have never sorted bullets the way you do. Cases weighted and sorted, yes, bullets ogives measured, some of them might, bullets...

    .264WM Overhaul

    Nice work and even a nicer thing to have done for your dad, well for him being slower on his feet, you have just made him a honest 700 yard shooting hunter, that will cover a lot of ground. /Chris

    Gunsmithing .260rem to 6.5x55

    Well not to be a Yayy sayer however the 6,5x55 BJ or Ackleyfied is a great round with some very good performance. In a long/medium action it, set long it will really shine and if the twist will carry 160 grain bullet the case has capacity to make them zip a long in good speed. I shoot with two...
