    What Chassis would you choose?

    The chassis is two pieces of aluminum bolted together at the grip. If your goal is to fold it to put it in a shorter range bag, that probably doesn't help. But if you want to fit it in a smaller suitcase for flying, you could take the rear off in two minutes or so, reducing the OAL by 10" or so.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST G2 FFP 5x25 vs. others

    Is yours newer? I have one of the first ones and it does not have illumination.

    Suggestions for protecting a new chassis cerakote

    I do, I just want to minimize that. Also, if I sell it in the future, I'd like to be able to get as much out of it as possible.

    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    18 inches. It's a Kukri profile Vudoo Ace barrel with spiral fluting.

    What Chassis would you choose?

    It's drop in. I moved my Vudoo action over from another chassis to a Matrix in under ten minutes. I like the MPAs over the competition, because they have an integral level, an adjustment to lock the recoil lug in snugly (it is a third screw to deal with on installation), and a series of holes on...

    Suggestions for protecting a new chassis cerakote

    I'm not bragging about anything. You're the one who brought up that I have a 3D printer, and some extra scopes and chassis, as if that makes me Mr. Moneybags who can afford to keep a cerakote company on retainer. I'm saying if I spend money on replacement cerakote every year, I'll have less...

    which leg is straight for prone

    An instructor who tell you there's one right way is not a good instructor. The position instructors start with is good for most people and a good starting position for most of the rest. A good instructor will look at the student's capabilities and help develop an effective position.

    Magazine flag

    If someone pulled a rifle off the rack and then flipped it to muzzle down, I'd have to DQ that person for pointing a rifle in an unsafe direction, because our rifle racks are at the rear of the range, not the firing line.

    which leg is straight for prone

    It depends on unsupported versus supported prone (i.e. do you have a bipod, bag block, or other front support). For supported prone, the baseline position is spine parallel to bore axis, rifle perpendicular to shoulder (so it doesn't slide to one side under recoil), legs straight in a V, toes...

    Vudoo . 22 failure to feed in Hawkins Precision DBM, 3 possible fixes

    I had basically the same issue with my Vudoo in an MPA chassis a few years ago, except in my case gravity was pulling the front of the magazine down, because the mag catch was the point of rotation. I 3D printed some 0.7mm shims and taped them to the top front of the magazine, preventing it from...

    Most ridiculous price you've seen on 9mm

    I stopped buying factory 9mm when the 100 round Winchester white box climbed over $5.

    Suggestions for protecting a new chassis cerakote

    One trick to affording nice things is to take care of them, so you don't waste money on repairs, replacements, or cerakote. Also cerakoting a chassis takes it out of commission for at least a week, if I'm lucky. Extrapolating your advice out, why not just replace the chassis as I scuff them up...

    Rifle Scopes Boresighting Help

    You'd probably need some funky adapter to get a T20 head (or whatever the scope screws are) in a torque wrench capable of 15 lb-ft, so I'm going to assume longshot meant lb-in. For boresighting, I recommend the eyeball technique as well. Put the rifle in a stable position, like a gun vise or...

    Rifle Scopes Scope elevation setting question

    Is your base removable, or is it part of the rifle? If you can remove it get one with an incline. You can also find rings and mounts that have an incline built in. Every 10 MOA of incline will transfer about 3 mrad from down to up in your elevation. I'd avoid going too far though, because glass...

    Suggestions for protecting a new chassis cerakote

    I thought about 3D printing a shield that fits the shape of the arca rail and front of the magwell and clips into the arca slots. Maybe I'll do that.

    Magazine flag

    Are you suggesting we have people walk around with their rifles pointing at each other? I'd much rather have people use a magazine block or a flag that sometimes falls out, than have them point rifles with chamber flags at other people.

    Suggestions for protecting a new chassis cerakote

    Yeah, but I don't put the bipod that far to the rear, so it shouldn't be an issue.

    Magazine flag

    The problem with that style is that if you carry the rifle muzzle up, the bolt slides back, and the flags can fall out. At the matches I run, we have a lot of people walk up to the shooting position without flags, because the flag fell out on the trip from the rifle rack.

    What Chassis would you choose?

    I just saw the list prices on those chassis. I'd definitely look at an MPA or MDT.

    What Chassis would you choose?

    I don't think so. That appears to be a Picatinny rail.
