    LRA Send iT Level MV3 battery hack

    The LRA Send iT Level requires a CR1/3N battery which may not be readily available in all locations. I simply stack 2 SR44 batteries together. These are commonly used in many vernier calipers. They can be found in most big box or dollar stores. other alternate batteries are the 303/357, LR44...

    For those with a Forster Co-Ax step inside.

    Nearly 2 years ago I 3D printed a base and pin that will reduce the travel required to about 50% when sizing shorter brass. I used it today to size and load 100 pieces of 44 Magnum. I don't know why I never posted it before. It is not an original idea, someone makes a metal version and sells it...

    In this thread we will discuss heavy bolt lift.

    When discussing bolt action rifles I mostly own Savage model 10 and 110 rifles. This summer I built an Ultimatum Deadline Gen 2 with an IBI barrel and an MDT ACC chassis. I have put north of 17,000 rounds through these Savage rifles and nearly 700 through the Ultimatum. I keep hearing about...

    Visited Dead Zero Shooting Park

    I visited Dead Zero Shooting Park in Spencer Tennessee today. This is the nicest range I have ever shot at. I highly recommend this place for anyone who is in the area. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They have 7 pistol ranges, shotgun ranges, and a 100-1,000y rifle range with steel...

    MDT XRS owners step inside.

    I have an MDT XRS chassis that I bought Black Friday for my CZ 457. I’ve put a few bricks through it since then all off the bench. Yesterday I was at the range and all of a sudden the stock felt like a wet noodle. I always carry a FAT Wrench so I checked the torque on the action screws and they...

    (UPDATE) Which node would you use?

    I replaced the barrel on my 6.5 Creedmoor over the winter and ran a new ladder test today. Conditions weren’t ideal with an 18 mph wind with gusts up to 30mph. Temperature was 32F Lapua brass, CCI BR-4, H4350, 140gr ELD-M I found 3 nodes at 39gr, 40.2gr and at 41.4gr. At 39gr the average...

    Rifle Scopes Update (It’s here) Can anyone tell me how old this S&B scope is?

    Looking for any info on this scope. What I’m being told. PM II 5-25x56 FFP DT MTC 0.1 MRAD P4FL CCW illuminated. Trying to figure out how old it is and what may be the value of it. I've never seen a PM II with an elevation turret like that.

    .308 Win and Berger 185 Juggernaut Tactical question.

    I recently rebarreled my Savage 10BA after 4,500 rounds. The factory barrel served me well using 180 and 175 SMK’s. With the original barrel I was able to remain within 0.010” from the lands while still loading to magazine length. I bought a box of the Berger 185 Juggernaut Target to try out...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST Issues

    I have a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP with an EBR-1 reticle.. Last year this scope was mounted on my Savage 10BA. At the time I was shooting an event under a time limit at 600M when this issue occurred. I was shooting a figure 11 target which doesn’t have any lines to base your measurements...

    To oil or not to oil barrel after thorough cleaning.

    Some people say never fire a round down the pipe when the bore is clean without first lubricating the bore and running a dry patch down it. Others such as GA Precision in their barrel break in procedure do not mention any lubrication after cleaning. I have read others mentioning dry graphite and...

    Just came back from a 2 day precision rifle clinic.

    I just got back from a 2 day clinic on precision rifle shooting. It was put on by a member and former Super Moderator on the biggest Canadian gun forum. The clinic was held at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa in Ontario for the sum of $70.00 for the 2 days. The goal of the clinic is to expand the...

    How long can I go without cleaning my rifle?

    I have a Savage 10BA that shoots really well when I do my part. I was having dificulty grouping when I cleaned it after every range session so I shot it dirty for the last 2 months. The groups range from 0.5 MOA down to 0.25 MOA when I do my part. I'm worried that I may harm the barrel by not...
