    6.5x47L vs 6.5 Creedmoor

    Dimensionally they are very similar. I have not compared shoulder angle. As far as performance, is there much of a difference?

    Which episode is the discussion of MPH of your gun?

    It's been a bit since I listened to it and I feel like I should revisit it.

    Marlin 39a

    Oh! Now that's cool? Any idea what years those were made?

    Marlin 39a

    Hmm. Never heard of that one. I have heard of the 20" mountie. Going to have to Google that one.

    Marlin 39a

    Like these? Mine are 1950 and 1951. I emailed Marlin about production numbers for those years. The records were destroyed in a fire.

    Looking for the basics on large-frames

    I get where you are coming from. I could see getting BCG, barrel, buffer, and gas block. Everything else I don't want. I'm going to upgrade the trigger, buttstock, and I am not a huge fan of the handguard.

    Marlin 39a

    I know this is outside normal interests, but I think there may be one or two of you out there that may have this info. Does anyone have a good resource on how many were produced per year in the 1950's?

    Looking for the basics on large-frames

    Ok. I've been convinced to go with Aero upper and lower. I never looked for the greatest deal when I was getting my small frames. Are they famous for having great deals on holiday sales? What's the best price I should expect new from a retailer?

    Looking for the basics on large-frames

    Do you happen to remember what the thread title was where you posted those videos? I have the JP silent capture in 2 of my small frames and love them.

    Looking for the basics on large-frames

    Do you have a point of reference to compare to a Geissele rail?

    Looking for the basics on large-frames

    That's what my experience building small frames told me. I have an Aero receiver set that I built out with a WOA barrel and Geissele trigger that outshoots me. I was looking at what the different patterns brought to the table. I don't know if there is a pattern that gives a significant...

    Looking for the basics on large-frames

    I am basically stupid when it comes to the differences in the large frame. DPMS/Armalite/sr25 I know there are differences. I don't know what they are. I am looking for the particulars that will help me judge if the added cost of one pattern justifies the additional costs. Sure, I would...

    Looking for the basics on large-frames

    1. I want to build. I don't want to replace parts. I want to be able to spread the cost out over time. 2. I don't necessarily want budget. I want the best bang for the buck. (Pun intended) I have things I will spend money on, looks and name brands aren't one of them. 3. I want to go 308...

    Scope setup problem seems backwards

    Any suggestions for a fix? Set it up at 12x-14x?

    Scope setup problem seems backwards

    It's been a bit since I have gotten behind it. I hope to at least get some dry fire in next week. I'll check the parallax and see if I can come up with any better description if that doesn't solve it. Thanks again for the help.

    Scope setup problem seems backwards

    I gets gray, almost like scope shadow.

    Scope setup problem seems backwards

    Yes on the PST. I'll double check the parallax. What was getting me is I thought the smallest, most finicky setting was when it was dialed up not down.

    Scope setup problem seems backwards

    I'm running a Gen 1 Vortex 6-24 on my 6.5cm. I set the scope forward/aft prone and on max magnification. I have good clarity edge to edge. When I back the power down I LOOSE clarity. The eye box becomes hard to find. What is the glaringly obvious thing did I miss? TIA
