    Looking for fake copy atlas bipod? has anyone tryed one?

    For the $80 or so you'd pay for the fake Atlas you'd be better off just buying a Harris. I feel their a better value anyway. I have one Altlas and 6 Harris bipods. Also a local shooter has a fake one and although it looks okay, it will not cant like the original and this is a feature which I...

    Rifle Scopes Another Newb question...

    For years the standard has been 6-48 screws when scopes averaged about 12-20oz. 8-40's are probably 50% beefier. With the advent of much heavier scopes this size is probably a good idea. Of course a better idea is the base being part of the receiver but then your stuck with the MOA angle or...

    What are the best options for eyeglass friendly spotting scopes

    I use both the Vortex Razor and Kowa 774 and eye relief is great with my glasses on. And my vision is pretty bad with an astigmatism. Had to sell my Pentax and Nikon for poor eye relief. And the Vortex with the 30x ranging reticle has even better relief.

    Reloading 6XC

    I'm working on a R-17 load right now. Trying 39.2 gr with the 105 Hybrid. Getting about 1/2 MOA. My next outing will test different seating depths. Velocity is about 3140. Rifle is a trued 700 with Bartlein 25" barrel.

    Action Purchase

    After reading your last post, it got me to thinkin' when you mentioned large shank. Is your barrel a blank or has it been threaded already?

    Rifle Scopes Ordered: VALDADA IOR 5.8-40x56 40mm Tactical FFP, MOA/MOA

    A buddy of mine here in 29Palms has one. He's more of a precision shooter than a tactical one. So far he's very satisfied with his. He does like the high power stuff.

    Rifle Scopes Ior valdada

    Recently I made a decision to sell one of two extra scopes that I had, a 6-24 IOR or a US Optics 3.8-22. I sold the USoptics. I also have a 3-18x50 that is mounted on my AR10 - 260, Perfect for that gun. That said the one thing that bugs the heck out of me is the parallax adj. 1/4 turn travel...

    I need a spotter and need some help!

    Vortex Razor HD would be my choice. Although I wish the 20-60 eyepiece had the reticle. Although the 30x w/reticle is a fantastic wide angle eyepiece. Another plus is camera adapter for the 20-60 eyepiece. I use mine to capture trace. The Kowa is a better scope but as far as I know, no...

    What to see what happens when you fire a 300 Blackout in a 5.56?

    The threads are from the barrel extension that is screwed on the breech end. This is also how the headspace is set.

    Rifle Scopes Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27x56

    I have been planning on getting a ATACR but am holding off ever since I saw this at SHOT. I really like the reticle in MOA and the weight isn't a concern for my use. Only two things bother me. First is that I don't hold over much in elevation so I am constantly turning the knob. Having to...

    MSA/Sordin Supreme Pro-X repairs...WOW!!

    I have had a set for probably at least 5 yrs. They quit working after a couple yrs and I sent them back to SRS who fixed them under warranty. After a year or so they developed a hum and so far I've just lived with it. Comfort-wise and usability they are my favorite but they go thru batteries...

    Gunsmithing Opinion on milling slot in feed ramp for longer OAL in Remington 700 type action.

    When GAP built my 7mm WSM on a Rem 700 action, this is exactly what they did for clearance. Has about 1200 rounds down the tube.

    Gunsmithing Bedding an action in stock?

    Is their any disadvantage to bedding the action to a stock without the barrel? I have not yet installed the barrel and do not plan on putting in a front barrel pad. I will use a threaded stud to hold the recoil lug in place. I thought I would try this because it would seem to be less of a hassle...

    LH Remington 700 Actions - Where to buy? Also: Custom Receivers?

    I have gone thru the same hassle as you are. If you think you might sell it down the line, go with a custom action but your still looking at 1K to $1200 or more. I recently went the used route and got a SA here and stripped it and am selling the extra parts which isn't that easy. Got $50 for the...

    Whidden Dies - any good?

    Thinking about getting a set of Whidden dies for a 6xc. Haven't any experience with these and don't know anybody who has used them. Any guys here with experience with them? I notice that they have both bushing and non-bushing type resizing dies but no reference to the actual bushings. So whose...

    Size of Reloading Market

    Can't speak for the rest of the world but the vast majority of members of our club here in 29 Palms reload their own ammo. I only know of a few that don't. We have about 400 members.

    Rifle Scopes Home on leave, looking at IOR scope

    My biggest complaint about the IOR scopes is the lack of dial range on the parallax knob. 1/4 turn gets you from 50yds to infinity. Most other scopes go 3/4 turn or so. Also the elevation knob is kinda thick so you have to be right behind the scope to line up the turret marks with the reference...
