    ? for Veterans using the VA

    I'll try to make this as short as possible, little bit of back story. Approximately 20 years ago I got hurt on an FTX, and was rated 0% upon ETS. My first few visits to the VA, were disappointing at best, usually an air-cast, and some ibuprofen, and a $50 charge, so I just quit going. In the...

    DIP 3/8" Dovetail to Picatinny Rail Question

    Have any of you guys used the DIP 3/8" dovetail to picatinny rail (25MOA), scope base? If so how much higher does it raise the scope? I'm trying to not get my scope so high that I have to install a cheek rest. Rifle is a Marlin 880SQ, with a Boyd's Tacticool stock. Any comments on the...

    Gunsmithing Headspace Gauge Question

    Hey guys, I ordered a set of headspace gauges the other day, and received them today. Anyway, I noticed on the package it says "Match Specs", and I think I might have ordered the wrong set. They are for .223 Rem, GO/NO GO 1.4636/1.4666, and the barrel is a Criterion, am I alright, or do I need...

    Getting a consistent cheekweld w/new Tikka T3?

    Got a new Tikka T3, and am having a problem shooting groups. I think (well, I'm pretty sure), my problem is getting a consistent cheekweld on the stock. What's happening, is during a 5 round string I'm shanking one or two shots, with the rest going into .185"-.329". The rifle only has a 3...

    Need a lesson on Ballistic Apps

    Ok I'm sure this is a stupid question, but it's one I haven't been able to figure out. Let me start off by saying on JBM's website I can get proper elevation and windage adjustments. My problem is with either Strelok+, or Shooter I cannot get them to calculate properly. I've set here looking...

    Gunsmithing Savage Large/small barrel shank question

    OK this is a retarded question I know, but here goes. Is there anyway to tell which barrel shank I have without removing the barrel? My first guess was to call Savage, and ask, but since the rifle was manufactured before Nov. 1995 they can't tell me anything. If it matters its a Model 112...

    Does 6.5 Creedmoor feed well from AI type DBMs?

    Thinking about putting another rifle togather, and I am wanting to try either a .260, or 6.5 Creedmoor. I assume since the .260 is based from the .308 it'll feed just fine from unmodded magazines, but what about the 6.5 Creedmoor? I'd hate to get everything, and bolt it in a chassis, only to...

    Savage/Stevens 200 questions

    I need to come up with an action for my next project, while I was in my LGS today there was a Savage/Stevens 200 in .308, used for I think $325. Anyway, I haven't bought a Savage in a long while, so a few questions. Are they the 4.40" hole spacing (did'nt have my handy tape with me), center or...

    In need of Bipod schooling

    OK I've always used Harris Bipods on a sling swivel stud, but you guys are always posting up pics of Atlas, or GG&G pods (so naturally, now I want one). So I go to shopping, and well it looks like both of those brands require a spigot, or 1913 rail to mount on. Is there a way to mount those...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell or Vortex?

    Need new glass for a 20" Savage .223 Rem. I use it for steel to 600yds. and a varmint here and there. I've narrowed my choices down to the Bushnell LRS 2.5-16X42, and the Vortex PST 4-16X50. Ideally, I could get a look at both before the purchase, but there is'nt any place remotely close to me...

    Confirming distance via Google Earth

    I've seen several references to confirming distances via Google Earth, I'd like to know how you guys are doing this? I have a place to shoot, what I believe to be 1,300yds. obtained using my reticle, but I have no way to confirm it (other than launching a bunch of bullets that may, or may not...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon M223 Rapid Action Turrets?

    Looking for a scope for my .223 bolt gun, replacing a Nikon Buckmaster 4.5-14 with the BDC that I did not like very much. I saw the Nikon M223 with the Rapid Action Turret, but I can't for the life of me find a decent review on it, does it work as advertised? Perhaps I'd be better served...

    How am I doing so far?

    FNG here, never shot long range before, 'bout 600yds is as far as I've shot. I'd like to go out farther, and have a few pieces of equipment, and plans to buy a few more. Just want to make sure I'm on the right track. First off I've read enough stickies that I now have sensory overload, but I...
