    Rifle Scopes JM-1 Reticle question

    The hash marks line up almost perfect, but how do you hold for wind? The picture is a 5mph crosswind. With a 10-12+ mph crosswind, it would be doable, but a big enough hold that its almost guessing. Also, how are you guys ranging targets? I read somewhere that the hashes line up perfect with...

    Gunsmithing Model 70 trigger job?

    I adjusted the trigger on my model 70 down to #2.5 with no problem. Just finished doing my dad's and got it down to #2.5 but now the bolt is hard to lift when recocking. It lifts fine with the bolt already cocked. I didn't pay attention before doing the trigger job so it may just be the bolt...

    Manner's Mini Chassis Repeatability?

    I've read all the post on weather to bed or not but couldn't find anything on repeatability. I've got a couple short actions and thinking of using the stock on a couple of them. I'm curious what kind of accuracy results y'all are getting after disassembly and reassembly of the rifle. Return...

    Gunsmithing Getting ready to rebarrel. Couple questions ??

    I've got a 700 in 7mag I'm getting ready to rebarrel. My plan is to send the barreled action to RW Snyder here on the hide. I'll have him true the action, put on a Brux barrel and a finish. I'm going to be shooting Winchester brass with the 162 Amax. I'm planning on neck turning. I've got a...

    Hunting & Fishing Shot this hog over the weekend.

    I don't recommend .223 for these things. 3 shots to take him down. Shot him on the run out of the truck at about 100 yards. Weighed somewhere around 250. Over 6' tall when I hung him up.

    Gunsmithing scope base hole drilled off center?

    I bought a 700 a few months ago. Came with Leopold one piece base with rings. Took the rings off and the front screw was broken off under the ring. Had the gunsmith drill it out and tap to 8-40. He was off center. The Badger base doesn't line up with the front hole (closest to barrel.) He says...

    Stiller Predator & aics ?

    Going to build a .284win on a Stiller action. I know the .284 will feed out of a 300wm aics mag. I'm going to load the 180 VLD's to mag length most likely. Will the extra .130" on the bottom cutout vs the standard cutout on the Tac300 make a difference? I don't have the measurements of the...

    New Reloader. A couple questions?

    First, I measured the chamber on my R700 with the tool from Sinclairs that Tresmom recommends. Its a .308 and the chamber measured 2.056. After reloading 20 pieces of brass 10 times none of them measured over 2.03. But some were 2.01 and 2.02. I started trimming to 2.015 for consistency...

    Gas tube .116" short... ok?

    Found a good deal on an upper. Its blemished because the gas tube was cut .116" short. Its got a free float tube on it and says that a 2 piece cannot be put on it. Its a 5.56 upper. I just want to make sure its still going to function before I buy it. Any input?
