    Difficulty extracting and chambering (Rem 700)

    The other day in the middle of the range session it became very difficult to chamber a round and almost impossible to extract loaded rounds. On some of the rounds closing the bolt felt very gritty. Extracting fired brass was normal, but extracting loaded rounds usually required quite a bit of...

    Rifle Scopes eo tech, AA or CR123

    Looking at an eo-tech for my AR. Debating between the CR123 model and the 512 (aa model). I'm not really concerned about leaving space on the rail for other accessories, but weight is a concern. Most of my electronics at home run on AA batteries so it would make life simplier to have an AA...

    Rifle Scopes Spacing of slots for 2 piece bases for eo tech?

    Buying new rings and bases for my Kimber montana.  Basically my kimber was the only rifle that didn't have picitiney or weaver style mounts so I thought I'd switch it over in case I ever had a reason to switch a scope from one rifle to another, I could do so with minimal effort.    I'd like to...

    upper node for 155 grainers with Varget

    I just started experimenting with 155 grain bullets (SMK palmas) in my .308. I was wondering where you have found the max load to be with these bullets with Varget. I found a good node at around 45.5 grains, but I don't get the velocity I want as I'm trying to make a load for beyond 1000...

    How little recoil from a braked .243 AR-10

    I’m considering building an AR-10 on the .243 Winchester cartridge. I’m thinking of a 24-26 inch barrel with a heavy barrel and a scoped weight of 10-11 lbs. I’m wondering if I get a good muzzle brake if it will be possible to maintain sight picture and watch the impact or if this is only...

    Stock pack for better cheek weld

    I’m upgrading my scope from a 40MM VX II to a 50 mm PST. After shouldering a couple of rifles with 50 MM objectives, I realized that I will need to raise the cheek piece on my rifle. I am also adding a 20 minute rail. I’m wondering if something like this will raise the cheek piece enough...

    Rifle Scopes Mil vs MOA, don't worry, it's not what you think

    (Disclaimer) This is not the standard which is better question that has been beat to death already. I’ve done a search and I’ve read most of the MIL vs. MOA discussions. What I’m wondering is how many people learned the MOA system and switched to MIL. How long did you use the MOA system...

    Lowering my ES with VARGET

    For a while, my main target load in my .308 has been 45.5 grains of varget and a 168 smk. The groups are fantastic, but the ES is 40-50 fps. Predictably, the groups fall apart after 400 yards. I get an ES of 10-15 fps with IMR 4350, but it only shoots ¾ moa. I’m hopeing to get the best of...

    Varget OCW with 168's in a .308

    I get the best groups with 168 smk's over 45.5 grains of Varget. Curious what others have found the OCW to be with Varget and 168's.

    Rifle Scopes Viper pst shim zero stop

    Out of curiosity, how close to any given zero will the shim zero stop system on the PST get you to a desired zero. I'm just curious if you can get the zero stop within 1-2 mins of where you want it or if each shim adds more like 4-5 minutes.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone have any experience with Vortex optics?

    Hey I’m new here. I’m a member of several other forums, but I thought I’d join this one at the recommendation of a good friend of mine. I’m looking to upgrade the scope on my target rifle. Currently, I have a VX II in a 6-18. The gun is a M700 varmint rifle with a HS stock in a .308 The...
