    Rifle Scopes Obvious or stupid?

    I have always questioned why they put the windage knob on the right side of the scope. If it was on the left side, we (right handed shooters) could see it without moving your head. Was this another conspiracy concocted by the left hand elitest??

    Gunsmithing Reamer size vs Chamber size

    Re: Reamer size vs Chamber size If the barrel is setup properly ie. dialed in precisely, then the neck could only be .316. Where you run into a problem is if the smith does something wrong and the reamer does not cut straight. That is when you would get a sloppy chamber. Just remember...

    Re: The finish on a Laminated stock is cracking Best (and easiest) finish for laminated stocks is several coats of clear duracoat. Leaves a nice satin finish and is nice and tough. +1 on sanding to bare wood. With the duracoat, only have to sand to 220 as the duracoat will fill small...

    Gunsmithing 700 bolt problem/question

    Re: 700 bolt problem/question Sounds like someone has messed with the trigger. If you screw with the adjustments (not knowing how) you can get the adjustments messed up pretty bad. Take it to a local smith and it will probably be a quick cheap fix.
