Just came across this thread...I did this almost ten yrs ago. Shortly after I built it I moved to the hills 'n hollers of n/e TN so I really never got a chance to stretch it's legs. Now it just sits in the safe. It's really the second of two...the first one didn't go so well. First one, I waited...

I had an opportunity a couple weeks ago to shoot two of my rifles side by side, one with a USO LR17 and the other my Steiner Military 5-25. I'm not sure why, but I could not get the Steiner to focus any where near as clearly as the USO. The USO was incredible...I was using it to spot shots for...
Thanks everyone. That's the info I was looking for. I'll bump it up to 45. Nothing is on the floor except for some wooden crates and everything in the crates is in sealed battle packs, and a dozen ammo cans or so and they all have desiccant in them. I sure appreciate the responses. Thanks again.
I just moved into a new house with a basement and was considering using the utility room for my ammo storage. I have a dehumidifier in the room and was wondering what is considered a safe humidity level for ammo storage. Most ammo is relatively well packed in corrigated cardboard boxes and some...

Re: SS 5-20HD elevation knob index lines
Sorry guys...you could make the diameters identical...60 splines, or 60 divsions is still 60 divisions. It's 6 degrees per spline whether the shaft is 1/4" in dia, or 5' in dia. The cap's lines are 3.6 degrees apart or 360 degrees divided by 100 lines...

I think one of the most common complaints, if you can call it that, about the new SS 5-50 scope is that the index lines on the elevation knob don't line up. There is a reason for this and I'd like to explain.
There are 60 splines on the shaft the knob is attached to. There are 100 lines on the...
