    Gunsmithing Question on pad under barrel

    How important is it to have a bedding pad under the barrel just in front of the recoil lug? This is on a Tac338 action with 29in barrel, 1.25" breach end. 338 Lapua mag. The action is single shot so it's bedded completely under the action. Manners stock.

    .260 rem vs 6.5 x 47 Lapua what do you have?

    Re: .260 rem vs 6.5 x 47 Lapua what do you have? I have rifles in all 3 calibers. I shoot the CM the least. Just not as accurate as the other two. I shoot the 6.5x47 Lapua the most. Its the most accurate of the bunch, very easy to load for, brass seems to last forever. I usually shoot 50rd...

    Gunsmithing range rod VS Grizzly rod

    Re: range rod VS Grizzly rod Before when I would use the rods, after dialing in with them I would check again using a long stylus indicator and it would always be off. So now if at all possible I indicate directly off the bore. I just feel more confident doing it this way. But if it works...

    Gunsmithing Headspace delemia

    I am chambering a barrel in 338 Lapua Mag. Just got close to correct headspace using a PTG gauge. I'm out about .004 so I check it, won't close. I tried a virgin Lapua brass and the bolt closed fine. I also had a extra factory Lapua round and the bolt closed on that. Tried some resized brass...

    AR10 extractor broken

    Was having trouble ejecting brass on my 260 AR10. After looking at the extractor I figure thats the problem as the gripping lip is chewed up. Been looking on line for a replacement, no luck. Anybody know of some other venders that might have them? Would DPMS or other 308 AR company's extractors...

    MOA reticles for spotters

    Re: MOA reticles for spotters Had the USO spotter with MOA reticle. It sucked ,Sold it. Was about to give up on getting a MOA reticle spotting scope when I saw that Vortex came out with one for their Razor. Great spotter. Well worth the money.

    Leupold Gold Ring HD vs USO Field Observation

    Re: Leupold Gold Ring HD vs USO Field Observation Leupold all the way. The USO is just too cumbersome to use. Its just a scope without the knobs. You have to adjust parallax up from on the objective and clarity is poor. The only thing it has going for itself is different reticles. Had one a...

    Hand held spotting scope.

    Re: Hand held spotting scope. As far as I know Vortex is the best option. Although I would go for the Recon R/T just for the extra power and ranging reticle. I would have gotten one by now if they would only option an MOA reticle.

    Rifle Scopes New Old Stock Bad Idea?

    Re: New Old Stock Bad Idea? Not at all. Warranty is the same. I've got one or two from way back when. Still works great. You can always send them in and change the reticle. What kind of reticle is in the scopes now? Also are these the NXS ones? Service with NF is top notch.

    Rifle Scopes IOR 12-52x56 Terminator

    Re: IOR 12-52x56 Terminator I have an IOR Terminator. Got it primarily for the MOA reticule and SFP. At 52x the 1/2 MOA divisions really help out although I usually leave it at 26x. Glass is great and it tracks perfectly. Have it on my 7 WSM so all the extra elevation adjustment comes in...

    Vectronix PLRF05 pics

    Re: Vectronix PLRF05 pics Mine doesn't do quite as well, best was around 4500yds on reflective targets. It easily doubles what I could get with my Swaro and Leica on non-reflective objects.
