    Gunsmithing Lug Lapping?

    Would something like Gun Scrubber in a spray can be good to use to flush the compound/grit out of the action and barrel? or would I be just as well and cheaper, to use Carb Cleaner in spray cans as long as there is no plastics/synthetics involved? Also, would I be better off using the silicone...

    Gunsmithing Lug Lapping?

    I have a couple tubes of valve grinding compound I got from an auto parts store a while back one just says fine, and I believe the other says coarse but not for sure. They are both grease based. Thanks!

    New Remington 700

    There should, be a second pull weight adjustment screw if you remove the barreled action from the stock. They just added the external screw on the trigger but, don't mention the internal screw which was the way the first x-mark triggers were to be adjusted. Using both screws, I managed to get...

    Gunsmithing eezox used as a lubricant?

    Would the froglube be the thing to use on the m&p slide points or, a synthetic grease?

    Gunsmithing eezox used as a lubricant?

    Would this be good to lubricate as well as a cleaner, and rust inhibitor? I've been using CLP and decided to order some eezox to try. Also, will it work on the slide of my M&P 40 or should a light coat of grease be used on the slide instead? All advice is appreciated!

    Tikka Factory Barrel Quality

    I've owned a t3 lite in 25-06 that was a tack driver and now have a t3 deluxe in 270 Win. that's also, a tack driver. I saw a program on the Sportsman's channel a while back where the host took a tour of the Beretta plant and they said Sako 85 barrels were used on the Tikka t3 rifles I assume...

    Remington 700 SPS Tactical or Savage Model 10 "T" tactical?

    I removed the stock and was able to loosen the pull weight screw on the inside pretty easily so the external trigger screw, could be screwed in so it didn't stick out and used both, screws to get the trigger like I wanted. On my Lyman digital scale it measures a little over 2lbs pull weight and...

    tikka t3 recoil lug question

    When I got my t3 Deluxe in 270 win, I wondered the same thing so rather than keep wondering I just went ahead and ordered a steel one to maybe, ensure the same accuracy with each shot. JMHO

    Maximum kill range on whitetail with 270 win. using handloads

    I should have been more specific with my question I'm mainly interested in the approximate, longest range this particular caliber will maintain enough ft /lbs of energy to make an ethical humane kill. I realize, there are a lot of variables depending on bullet weight, design, etc. The only loads...

    Rifle Scopes need help with Nikon Monarch III 4x16x42 adj.

    I think I'll experiment with it the next time I'm out shooting it and see what kind of results I come up with. I'll make sure I move my head around as I check for parallax after adjusting to see if it changes that any. This is the only scope I've ever owned that does this. Thanks folks! I...

    Rifle Scopes need help with Nikon Monarch III 4x16x42 adj.

    I originally, set the fast focus eye ring looking at the sky for the sharpest, clearest reticle as most manufacturers suggest. The other day I decided to turn the adjustment ring while looking at my 100 yd. target. The strange thing was it was like turning the power setting up and down? I was...

    Info request: Out of the box accuracy - CZ455 vs Savage Mk II

    The only 22LR rifle I own any more is my Anschutz 1710 d hb. I've owned a few CZs in 22LR that for the money, I thought were very good shooters. The only distance I've ever shot with my rimfires though, was 50yds. so I can't comment on any 100yd. groups from any of them.
