    Rifle Scopes 40 MOA mount too much?

    I concur. 18 Mils should get you close to 1500.

    Gunsmithing Lapping scope rings

    We move quite a few of the XTR rings. Even with heavy calibers I have not had anyone with slipping issues. The rings are pretty decent, Should not need to be lapped. Of course the Nightforce, Seekins and Vortex rings are of higher quality. The Vortex precision rings are made by Seekins as a...

    Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x24

    Strike Eagle 1-8's Are Ready to Go!!!!!! http://www.sportoptics.com/vortex-st...le-scopes.aspx Versatile entry level scope. Looking through these scopes my opinion is the glass is a little better than the 1-6. The new scope body looks a little more like the PST Gen II than the 1-6 Strike...

    Ultrasonic cleaners

    I have a Lyman turbo sonic. Works fine for me. Also works great on my wife's jewlery. That may help justify a purchase if you need to.

    Bolt knob modification

    I concur with those above. You can also use a hacksaw with the nut. Finish up by hitting the sharp edges with a file.

    Manners thumb screw?

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005005EEM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This is what I have been picking up for mine. Again the thread pitch must match. Hope this helps. :)

    Manners thumb screw?

    You should be able to take the stock screw to a Fastenal or a similar place and they can tell you the thread pitch. They may have the knob you are looking for there or you can search online once you know what thread is. I use a lot of Kydex cheekpieces and they come with a large knob. I replace...

    Sig Sauer Romeo 5

    Romeo 5's are in!! This is a Romeo 5 on a DD mount on my 15-22. The Romeo 5 has the same footprint as the Aimpoint Micro. If you use the Daniel mount, use it without the adapter plate for a 1/3 cowitness as the Sig sits a little higher than an Aimpoint Micro. Give us a call or send me a...

    Rifle Scopes Kahles K624i... How can you tell which gen. you have?

    The Gen 1 has the knurling. Gen 2 went to the scalloped. Gen 3 scope tubes have the option for the LSW. Other than that the Gen 2 and 3 are the same. This is a gen 1.

    Youth 243 build

    .243 is a great youth cartridge. I'm also a fan of the 7mm-08. There is plenty of reduced recoil loads available for both .243 and 7mm-08. They will enjoy that rifle! Good Dad!

    Ruger M77 Barrel Nut?

    Thanks Spife. :)

    Ruger M77 Barrel Nut?

    I don't believe the M77 uses a barrel nut. The M77 is pretty much a copy of a Mauser action and the barrel screws directly to the action. I am in no way a gunsmith, but if they use the same barrels you may be good to go.

    Rifle Scopes Kahles Gen3 624i Review (Amazing Optic)

    I really like to Kahles 624i. All the performance is there as far as optics and mechanics. They are also very unique with the center mounted parallax. This offers great versatility for both right and left hand shooters. The Gen 3 come with the option for the left side windage, another unique...
