    Dings on bolt face?

    Brakes question....

    Are there any brakes that are quieter than others? I want to tame down a 338 win mag hunting but don't want to blow my ear drums out. I was looking at a vais, thruster, or maybe just having it magna ported. Any other ideas or suggestions? Thanks

    So I get my new Sako rifle with a barrel band. I put my Montana sling on it. I think they use Uncle Mikes swivels as shown in the pic. Anyway, the rear fits perfect in the stud. The hole in the barrel band is super tight for the swivel. I take a wooden dowel and a small hammer and...

    MK13, M40, M24 question

    These are all built off 700 chromoly actions correct? Also, if you were to build a custom rifle, are there any disadvantages to using stainless? They would seem to be more corrosion proof, so I was wondering why the military chooses not to use the stainless actions to build off of.

    I bought a couple hundred rounds of Barnes Vor-TX ammo in 168 grains for hunting and also to be close to my match ammo in terms of balistics. Anyway, all the bullets have a slighted in/out movement in the cartridge. They wont pull all the way out, but maybe go in and out 1/32 of an inch...

    Swaro rangefinder vs Leica 1600 - a differnt question

    Ive been reading up on rangefinders, and I think its pretty well established that the Swaro is better at its job, but im just looking for something that will range 800-1000 yards, so i dont need the extended range of the Swaro. So i figure the Leica would do just as well for my purposes...
