    Rifle Scopes SIgh - old eyes problem

    Re: SIgh - old eyes problem My less than perfect solution for this is a set of safety glasses with bifocals. You can find them now at most of the Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. Cheers... Jim

    Atlas bipod--sucks

    Re: Atlas bipod--sucks Well, as this thread has been resurrected, I'll add my dos centavos: Just installed my first Atlas. As an old aircraft guy, I have very high standards for machine work and fit/finish. (As an odd coincidence, I used to work just down the isle from the Atlas missile...

    End of an era: Cool Shuttle Pics

    Re: End of an era: Cool Shuttle Pics I had a very small hand in Space Shuttle construction. It was just a temporary assigment, as our main program was the Tomahawk Cruise Missle. And even though my involvement was small and short lived, I've always been immensely proud of it. I am sorry to...

    mosin nagant scope solutions

    Re: mosin nagant scope solutions cal50- Your good looking Mosins caught my eye, and I think I may have to add a PE to my Finn M-39 soon. Have been doing lots of research, and I notice there is a "how to" on the Accumounts site on modifying the repro scope to allow reset to zero. You might...

    Advanced Marksmanship Shooting glasses???

    Re: Shooting glasses??? I appreciate all the great feedback guys. I see many who shoot without eye protection, and I really thought someone might champion that idea. Don't know that I could live with such a suggestion, but I just wanted to hear some wisdom from the vast body of experience we...

    Advanced Marksmanship Shooting glasses???

    Guys, I'm struggling with a problem. It's about the use of safety / shooting glasses while driving precision rifles. I'm pretty adamant about their use, yet, I find them a real handicap. My daily wear corrective glasses put the frame right in the field of view, so I have adjusted the diopter...

    Anyone using the Whiskey 3 stock with their Tikka?

    Re: Anyone using the Whiskey 3 stock with their Tikka? Not trying to throw mud on the KRG chassis, as it looks very good, but I ordered a Manners for the wife's Tikka Varmint .223. Wow! What a change it made. I can't say it shoots any better, as this rifle has always shot better than it has...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Browning Hi-Power: First, probably not last.

    Re: Browning Hi-Power: First, probably not last. Don't try to remove the mag safety on a MKIII, it won't function reliably afterwards. If you wish to try that, you need one of Bill's triggers (Cylinder and Slide). Cheers... Jim

    Tikka T3 .223 load data? Any suggestions?

    Re: Tikka T3 .223 load data? Any suggestions? My Tikka T3 Varmint .223 shot REALLY well with 24.0 AA2520 and the 75 grain Hornady A-max. Was using BHA brass and Winchester WSR. It's the wife's rifle now, and she has hammered some groups at 600 that I would have been proud of. We dropped it...

    Gunsmithing Milling .100" off of feed ramp to accommodate OAL?

    Re: Milling .100" off of feed ramp to accommodate OAL? No need to mill away the entire feed ramp. AICS are center feed, so you need only cut a shallow notch. Cheers... JIm

    Gunsmithing Hopelessly stuck case, could really use some help

    Re: Hopelessly stuck case, could really use some help Mind me asking why you have to do this several time per week? Nope. I work at a range. ARs seem to be outnumbered only by Glocks, and there's some fellow with his rifle hopelessly FUBARed nearly every day. Sometimes, it's the same guy...
