    Heavy (long) bullets in 308 size cases - question

    Assuming your magazine and throat lengths allow. Is there any velocity benefit to seating the bullet further out of the case to create more powder capacity or is it usually a wash in the end because the amount of powder capacity gained is small or pressure signs do not allow you increase powder...

    PIG saddle and Ball-head ?

    I have an Manfrotto 190XPROB tripod with an 496RC2 ball-head. I would like to get the right ball head so that I can run a PIG saddle. I do not need a "top of the line" set-up, just something that is solid and dependable. Any recommendations?

    Suppressors Tightening a direct thread suppressor ?

    How tight should you tighten a direct thread suppressor on a barrel and should you put any oil/grease on the threads? Is there such a thing as too tight (assuming you "hand tighten" ?

    Making a 7RM shoot

    Picked up a used R700 chambered in 7RM a while back and have not yet been able to find any load it likes. Bore scope shows the throat to be in good condition and the rifling and crown generally look good. Bedded the rifle, etc..etc... but nothing makes a difference. It's a 1.5" @ 100yd rifle...

    9mm Carbine Question

    I would like to build/buy a 9mm SBR carbine for Glock mags and have been watching the sales. It seems that most completed uppers come with a barrel length from 4 - 6 inches but the hand guard extends beyond the end of the barrel and there is a comp of some sort that gets the muzzle past the end...

    Gunsmithing PTG bolt handle for R700 bolt

    I have had these installed on two different R700 SA by shops that are known to do quality work and in both cases when the handles were correctly timed to the action, the bolt handles lifted so far that they would rub on the eye piece of the scope body when the bolt was cycled. The issue was...

    Night Vision Best position to mount a light on a carbine

    I have a suppressed SBR and am trying to decide the best position to mount a light. The light is a TLR-1 HL and when I put it at either the 3 or 9 o'clock position, the suppressor casts a shadow. Putting it at 12 o'clock interferes with my Aimpoint so I am trying to find a way to mount it at 2...

    Gunsmithing Weight of 700 SA

    Anyone know the weight of a 700 SA with a complete bolt but minus the trigger? I am pulling together the part for a light weight mountain hunting rifle and thought a 700 action might be lighter than a custom.

I typically I run my front grip with my thumb over the top of the rail and I wondered if there is a "best" way to mount a light so it can be thumb actuated from that position? I'm planning on going...
