    Rifle Scopes Beast lever question

    Just got a beast and had a quick question. I was thinking that the +.01 mil lever clicked into place but it actually just slides over to an index mark. At what point in the movement of the lever does it make the .1 mil adjustment? In other words,....If you only move the lever halfway over what...

    Suppressors Taking you suppressor to an out of state match

    I'm sure this has been answered, but I'm seem to remember reading something about having to notify the ATF if you take your suppressor across state lines? I was wanting to take mine from Texas to a match in Florida. Driving.

    Gunsmithing What dbm mags for a wsm case in a long action?

    If I wanted to build a 6.5 saum on a surgeon 1086 what mags would work for that? I don't think the 300wm ai mags will work without mods.

    Using bipod legs on barricades

    Running my first couple of matches this yr and have been wondering if anybody uses their undeployed bipod when shooting off barriers/barricades? With the atlas stowed in the legs rearward position it would seem like a perfect barricade rest. Trying to decide if the skid plate is a warranted...

    Hunting & Fishing Impressed with m855 as a pig round.

    I was out at the family land this week doing a little hog hunting. When I was heading out of the cabin to the blind, I accidentally grabbed a mag with federal m855 instead of my usual nosler 64gn bonded loads. Shot this hog just in front of the shoulder at the base of her neck. She was only...

    My Latest build

    William Roscoe at Louisiana Precision just finished up this 300wm for me. I sent him the parts and had shortbus paint the stock. Luckily I bought the surgeon 1086 before they became unubtainium. I had originally went with a Rifle Basix trigger but that was no bueno so I have a Jewell coming next...

    Kestrel 4500 ab bt question

    Other than using less gear, is there an advantage to using the applied ballistics version kestrel over a bt kestrel linked to the shooter ap? Is my thinking off here? Seems like shooter is way more user friendly than the ab kestrel as far as setting up load profiles.

    Surgeon 260

    I randomly came across this rifle on the surgeon website a few months back. I was pretty happy with my 308, but wanted the extra performance of a 6.5 so I pulled the trigger. Really like the J Allen stock. I feel it's the best chassis out there. Very sturdy and does not feel cheap. It is a...

    Chamber neck clearance

    So i asked about neck turning 260 lapua brass in an earlier thread. Now I have another question. How much neck clearance do most of you consider ideal for a rifle set up for tactical type matches. I'm trying figure out how much to take off of the necks of my 260 lapua brass. My chamber has a...

    260 reamer and lapua brass

    My new surgeon has a .295 neck. If I want to run 260 lapua brass, am I going to have to turn down the necks initially? I've Heard you really need a .297 to run the lapua without turning. Never turned necks before.

    Brass soaking time

    Stupid question. I accidentally left some brass in my hornady ultra sonic cleaner for a week. It has been sitting in a very diluted mixture of the hornady cleaner and water. It has taken on a very dull hue. Is the brass still ok?

    280 ai bottom metal?

    I'm in the process of putting together a 280ai. Trying to figure out what to do as far as bottom metal. I'd like to just go dbm with a m5 or surgeon but I've heard that there can be issues running the 300 wm mags. I know the feed lips can be bent with the brownells tool, but I've read mixed...

    When a barrel manufacturer says a barrel is fluted for a 26 inch finish does that mean the flutes go to 26"? If not how much room do they leave for muzzle threading etc.?

    Gunsmithing Flush cup removal?

    I have a manners t4 that took to my smith for flush cup install on the left side of the stock. I just assumed he was using quality flush cups like grov tec. Well I get it back and go to put my tab sling on it and the sling pulls out of the cups. The only loop attachments that work are the ones...

    Suppressors 30p-1+ 300wm = wow!

    I picked up my 30p-1 a couple weeks ago after an excruciatingly long wait. Went to the range shortly after picking it up and shot it on my R&D precision 308. The gun was a consistent 1/3 moa gun since new. My first three 5 shot groups with the 30p-1 were all 1/4 or better. Sound suppression was...

    Suppressors Cleaning after suppressor use

    I recently picked up my 30p-1 after a long wait. Went out and shot it today. The reviews are right... it's awesome. It was time to clean my rifle and when I pulled the can off I noticed it left a lot of carbon on the muzzle end and it really caked on the crown. It's a R&D precision 308 with a...

    Suppressors 30p-1 owners

    I recently picked up a 30p-1 after a long wait. It's my first suppressor so sorry if this is a stupid question. Is it normal to have some wobble in the fit when screwing it on? It snugs up when up against the shoulder with no wobble but has more than I expected when it's being screwed on.
