I bought a 700 stainless ADL during one of Dick's sales last year. I just bought an HS Precision Pro-Series Sporter Stock and some factory bottom metal. After I assemble everything, I end up with a small, evenly spaced gap the whole way around between the floor plate and the stock. I do not...

I know software exists for calculating BCs, but I'm trying to understand the math behind it. According to wikipedia (which we all know is the ultimate source for correct information, ha ha), The variable information is here...

I need to get a Torx wrench for my GAP Crusader. Anyone know what Torx size they use for the two action screws? I'm guessing T30 but I can't verify this. Thanks!

I've come to realize that I need an extra inch of length on my guns due to the fact that I have a long neck. I have a bunch of B&C Medalists on my Savages and a McMillan A5 on my GAP. I basically need to make each of them 1" longer. I'll probably send the McMillan stock back to GAP but I'd...

OK, I have a new GAP Crusader in 260 and a Savage that I customized, also in 260. Both are consistent 10-shot, 1/2 MOA guns at 200 - 300 yards with my two 260 loads -- one with 123gr AMAXes and one with 140gr AMAXes. What's interesting is that the GAP shoots both loads into basically the same...

I bought a GAP Crusader 260 last month. Great gun and I'm happy with the performance I'm using my handloads. However, I wanted to try some factory match-grade ammo to see how it compares to my handloads. I bought two boxes of Corbon 260 ammo -- one with the 123gr Scenar and the other with the...

This powder is used in a 260 load with a 123gr match bullet. Anyone recognize what it is? Just curious. I already have a load that works great with my 260. (Click on the picture for a zoomed in version -- but be warned it's 3MB.) Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I just received a barrel that I requested be muzzle threaded 1/2x28 for a suppressor. Here's a pic: The entire "stub" measures 0.630". The unthreaded portion of the tenon is 0.130" (which leaves 0.5" for the threaded stub). The 0.130" unthreaded portion seems long. Worse, there's no...

I've got a Savage that's chambered in 260 (Shilen barrel) on a B&C stock. I bedded the action area of the stock myself last year. I'm quite happy with the gun. It's a consistant half MOA shooter for five shot groups at 200 yards. In the constant quest for more/better (and, because I need a...

I am looking for recommendations for precision rifle shooting trainers in the PA or MD area. Main focus for now would be basic instruction on my technique for prone/bipod shooting with precision rifles with eventually becoming more proficient shooting long-range. At some point I will head to...

OK, so I just go my AAC 260 barrel from Midway last night. I have a trued 700 action and recoil lug. Screwed everything together hand tight and was thrilled since the no-go gauge didn't fit and the go-gauge did fit. Went over to my in-laws to use their heavy duty vise. Used those split wood...

I just got two rifles back from Cerakoting. I forgot to ask to have the muzzle threads on my 223 covered before coating. Before I got it Cerakoted, my AAC Ranger screwed on very smoothly and relatively easily but with little to no slop. The problem is that with the Cerakoting, I cannot screw...

I am going to get two of my Savages Cerakoted. Seems like most finishers have prices for barreled actions. However, given how easy it is to disassemble my Savages (I have all the tools and headspace gages), I'm wondering if I should send action, barrel, lug, barrel nut and bolt in...

OK, guys, I need some help from you experienced long-distance reloaders, especially those that use ladder testing. In the past, I typically use an OCW-style round-robin test to get a good load, then if it shoots around 1/2MOA for 5x5 groups at 200 or 300 yards, I just go with it. I got a box...

Hey folks. If anyone wants a copy of their hostage target from the Sniper's Hide Cup, just PM me or drop me an email via the "Contact Us" page on our website (www.oakwoodcontrols.com). Include your name and your shooter number (if you remember) and I'll get back to you with your target. Oh...

I'm going to tape over the turrets on my Bushnell 4200 scopes (6-24x50) and mark them in mils. They are 1/4 MOA turrets marked 0 to 12. Can someone verify my math? Going from MOA to inch I multiply by 1.0472. Going from inch to mils I am dividing by 3.6. I'm basically going to mark one mil...

Did anyone happen to see the booth that had a new borescope on display? I only passed by it once and didn't get a chance to return for an in-depth view. Seems that they were offering them at a good bit lower cost than the Hawkeyes. I can't find the name of the company but IIRC they were in...

I must be blind or an idiot (or both)... I just got a couple kegs of Varget and I cannot see where the lot number is printed. One the one lb bottles it is normally printed on one side of the back label. I don't see anything like those numbers on these 8lb jugs. Anyone know where the lot...

I had QuickLoad 3.0 (and then the 3.2 update) running under XP for a few years. Then, somehow, I got it working under the Windows 7 beta earlier this year. Recently, I wiped everything and went to the final Windows 7. But, I cannot get QuickLoad 3.0 to install and run successfully. I tried...

Doh! I had a Homer moment and bought 3 boxes of Berger 155gr VLDs instead of the 155.5 BT Fullbore bullets. So, when loaded to mag length length these bullets are about 0.100" (yes, 1/10th of an inch) OFF the lands in my 308. Is there much chance of these VLDs working well for me with this...
