    Gunsmithing PTG

    Re: PTG I have run a short action PTG bottom for about 6 months and am very happy with it. I use Alpha type II and AI mags. The Alpha type II is good except it is very hard to insert into the bottom metal with 10 rounds. The mags swell on the sides and then have an interference fit. Most...

    Rifle Scopes Ranging with NF NXS

    Re: Ranging with NF NXS It is also possible to range at 11 power and 5.5 power easily. You will see a white dot on the power ring at 11 power. at this power your graduations on the reticle are worth double what they are at 22 power. That would be 4x at 5.5 power.

    Rifle Scopes Bedding Scope Base?

    Re: Bedding Scope Base? When I bed mine I put a heavy coat of past wax on the screws and in the receiver screw holes. In fact I fill the holes up solid with wax. You will not have a problem with the screws being stuck if you do this. I also put a coat of past wax on the receiver and buff it...

    Scope Ring TORX Help

    Re: Scope Ring TORX Help Do not discount the idea that you may have english and metric mixed. I have seen several adjustable combs on trap stocks that had the allen head set screws rounded out because of this.

    CFE223 Good Results

    Re: CFE223 Good Results I tried it in 308 under 175 SMK and I got the lowest SD (4) that I have ever gotten in any load. Unfortunately I also got the worst grouping that I have ever gotten in that gun. It was about 1.5 MOA as I recall. I tried several charge weights but not much change. I...

    PTS Fall Team Precision Rifle Match

    Which custom Action?

    Re: Which custom Action? I have a Bighorn tactical and a Stiller TAC 30. Both are quality actions but the Bighorn is much smoother and faster to operate. It is also very reasonably priced.
