    .308 Win w/ 18" 1-10" twist barrel to 1,000 yards

    Re: .308 Win w/ 18" 1-10" twist barrel to 1,000 yards What does WWBrown mean when he says, "I have been asked to set the rifle up shoot up to 1,000 yards"? The 1:10 twist suggests heavy bullets. If you are using a Long Action, you could throat the barrel to seat 200 or 210gr match bullets...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Thoughts?

    Re: IOR Thoughts? How "sober" is it to conjecture about things you know nothing of? I wonder why Mr. Berish has to resort to calling me a name? Perhaps Mr. Berish was too drunk to remember phoning me in late April 2007? I did not request him to call. He asked me for my phone #. Sure had...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Thoughts?

    Re: IOR Thoughts? The facts are these: IOR does not have any service facilities or technical service employees in the USA. IOR does not provide a transferable warranty. IOR does not have a "no questions asked" warranty. If IOR suspects you are at fault for any damages you may find your scope...

    Rifle Scopes IOR Thoughts?

    Re: IOR Thoughts? Has IOR, or IOR-Valdada invested in this market by adding employees or a service facility? Just wondering... Anyone considering purchasing any IOR product needs to find out about their warranty terms and service availability. Two years ago, when I owned 4 IOR scopesights...

    Sako TRG Accessories.......WTF

    260 Rem. vs 6.5 Creedmoor

    Re: 260 Rem. vs 6.5 Creedmoor Since you are still considering ctgs, the real sleeper (imho) is the necked up .22-250AI. Basically this is a .001" longer bodied 6XC with 40deg shoulder. Functions fine in my AR-10 so you should have no feeding issues in a bolt rifle. Presumably your goal is...

    Rifle Scopes Red Dot for AR10 308 TAC, need advice

    Re: Red Dot for AR10 308 TAC, need advice I suspect you already have a great scope in place that will serve your needs. Have you ever tried using your Trijicon with a lens cap covering the objective? Depending on how you have mounted your scope, (if your scope's occular/rear lens is...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold MR/T 1.5-5 equivalent

    Re: Leupold MR/T 1.5-5 equivalent What "current practices"? There is a lot of griping and bitching about Leupold that goes on here. Apparently many of the guys expect L&S to fulfill their every need, in every way and do so with exceptional promptness. I own a # 56994 mk4 mr/t spr scope and...

    Rifle Scopes Remington 700 scope issue.

    Re: Remington 700 scope issue. Sounds like you need to try another set of bases, or shim the front base. IF you really want to zero the scope at 100yds. Why zero the scope at 100yds if you are going to shoot longrange? Seems like all your scope's vertical movement is usable for elevation...

    Gunsmithing Looking for input/help wiring up my lathe

    Re: Looking for input/help wiring up my lathe Just curious, but what does three-phase power actually enable for a gunsmith? I could see if you were turning ten-ton rated axles from 48" x 12" billets of high tensile steel, but... How much more efficiency and full/immediate power is...

    Rifle Scopes simmons review?

    Re: simmons review? Simmons ATEC is very good optically, tracks well and seems well made. I have one with illum duplex 2.8-10x and have been debating buying another 4-14 w/side focus parallax. My ATEC came to me via Ebay, and was under $100. If you want a real deal on a good scope, look...

    Ar Gas System Lengths

    Re: Ar Gas System Lengths Noveske uses mid-length gas tubes. Afghan 14.5" barrel I own has one. "My smith says", means nothing, unless your smith is Scott Medisha or John Holliger; two guys who've forgotten more than others ever knew. If you want accuracy, you go stainless or chrome-Moly...
