    Rifle Scopes Bushnell ERS at max vs. XRS at 21

    Trying to decide between the two. Want maximum usable magnification. Have heard varying opinions on XRS at 30. Wondering if the ERS is similarly compromised at its max such that I could use the XRS to beyond 21x and get a better image. Worried about how visible the reticle subtensions will...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell elev. knob adjustment post

    Looking for the post that described how to get the elevation knob 'zero' to line back up with the hash mark below it after the knob was removed. I tried several searches and couldn't come up with it. I remember the original poster contacted Bushnell and got directions from them and this fixed...

    Gunsmithing bolt firing pin cocking tuning?

    I recently "upgraded" my Rem 700 bolt to a heavy firing pin spring. After several cycles of cocking, opening of the bolt became very difficult. Finally it wouldn't move and I had to use a soft hammer to get the bolt to cycle open. I finally figured out that the surface of the bolt that the...

    Gunsmithing pinning a scope rail

    Is it easy to add pins to a scope rail? Once the pins are put in, is it difficult to cut another rail to fit those pins? Thanks. Rich

    Gunsmithing hs precision swivel stud screws

    The wood screw type of swivel stud pulled out of my HS Precision stock. Beneath the hole into the fiberglass they are threaded for machine screws into the aluminum bedding block, however, mine are threaded for 10-24 screws. I called HS and they said their older stocks were like this and now...

    Rifle Scopes Horus scope glass

    Some people love the Horus reticles, but I don't recall seeing many actually using one of their scopes. I tried a search and didn't find any recent information on comparing Horus scopes to other glass. If it's been done, could you help with a link? If not, any opinions on how they compare to...

    Gunsmithing picatinny rail pinning

    I've only recently noticed people getting their scope rails pinned. Why not bigger screws? Anyone have any pics? If you remove the rail does the pin stay in the rail or in the receiver? Could I do this on a cheap drill press? Thanks.

    Gunsmithing Remington bolt truing questions

    I'm obviously not a gunsmith but had some work done recently and was trying to understand a few things. When truing a Remington 700 bolt, is only the bolt face squared up or does the end of the bolt get any truing as well? I just had my bolt and action trued and was wondering about this when...

    Gunsmithing stoning the trigger sear

    Curious as to how many of the rifle builders actually open up the trigger and touch the sear. I inquired on a rifle I was having built and the gunsmith told me he wouldn't touch the sear on a Remington 700 because it was very thinly chromed and you wouldn't want to remove that coating. Don't...

    action truing/chambering by the barrel maker?

    At least a couple of the barrel makers offer the services of chambering the barrel and truing the action. Anyone use their services and have any comments? I don't recall seeing much mention of this in any custom builds and I was thinking about giving one of them a try. PM me if you want.

    Gunsmithing 6.5 Swede in a R700 short action?

    I saw a post where someone said they had a 6.5 Swede built on their Rem700 short action. Are major modifactions needed or is it mainly with the feeding from the magazine? Also, would it be possible to modify the magazine such that you could still utilize the 'bdl' configuration? Thanks. Rich

    center feed box any better?

    I'm thinking of using a Wyatt's center mag feed box for a Rem 700 build. I have an ADL donor and was planning on using a Williams bottom metal. Will this mag box function 'better' than a standard BDL box (this will be for a 260 Rem)? Thanks. Rich

    Tikka T3 varmit importing for other calibers?

    A few threads lately on the T3s. Seems there is an interest in the varmit model, but it's only imported in a few calibers right now. Does anyone know what it would take to get more calibers imported? Can you special order something like this? Anyone connected to Berreta that can answer what...
