    Spuhr ???

    As others have said, the Spuhr mounts are really good in this area. For the most consistent mounting, Spuhr recommends a light coat of oil on the rail:

    Gunsmithing Glock slide cut for Vortex Razor

    Amerigun USA is solid. Everything Chris has done for me has been top quality. They specialize in Trijicon night sights and RMRs, but they do mounts for all the other popular red-dot sights, too.

    Range Report Done with Hornady tipped bullets....?

    Yeah, I get that. I think I just didn't make my point clearly enough. Dude asked, "What's the difference between 'group size' and 'consistent POI'? Those both sound like the same thing to me." I answered by comparing how you'd pick the best group size and how you'd pick the most consistent...

    I've read the first couple pages; so far it seems to match my understanding of the process. Thanks.

    Range Report Done with Hornady tipped bullets....?

    I don't handload, but I've done work in a completely different field that involves processes similar to what I think @padom is recommending. Padom, correct me if I'm wrong. 1. Choose a min and max charge weight, divide the spread into say ten steps, load five rounds with each weight. Get ten...

    Sorry, it was D - not stupid or naive, and also not offended by the greyed-out logo. And also not aware that Google's logo design was such a big deal. Jesus, I'm sorry I asked.

    Class Action Against Google

    Yeah, everyone in California knows all the movie stars and everyone in Silicon Valley works for Google. Just the other day I was telling Julia Roberts how they hired me to protect their reputation by posting my opinion of their logo designs in the Bear Pit.

    Class Action Against Google

    Oh, ok. Thanks for explaining. I guess the simple grey just seems quiet and respectful to me. Personally, I think it's more meaningful than if they'd done something with more ornamentation, since they ornament the logo so frequently for other, less-serious occasions. But that's just my...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I don't think that's true. I bought a TRG-22 mag to compare to my TAC-A1 mags (and then sold it at a loss: https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/sako-trg-22-22a1-magazine-new-120.6936025), because I suspected that the TRG must be better in some way. But it isn't. I miked all the...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    The CTR was designed to use the Sako TRG-22 magazine. Click here to see its $250 MSRP: https://www.berettausa.com/en-us/sako-trg-magazine-blued/s574038/ Even the typical discounted internet price for a TRG-22 mag is around $180. Which is ridiculous when compared to the cost of an entire CTR...

    Favorite Rifle Cases

    Nanuk 995 hard case. The Nanuk is a couple inches longer (interior and exterior) than the Pelican 1750 and Storm 3300; it weighs a couple pounds less than the Pelican and a couple pounds more than the Storm. I'm not flying with the rifle, so instead of foam it's just in an Eberlestock drag bag...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Bill Wilson on the 9MM vs the "Lord's caliber"

    Makes sense. FN PS90 loaded with SS198LF also has the qualities you mention, and its standard mag gives you 50 shots at around 2400 fps. Plus it's only 27 inches long, so maybe more maneuverable indoors. Expensive and super ugly, though.

    Rifle Scopes Rifle Scope Ring Height and Clearance Calculator

    I agree that in the real world, mounting the scope with a few millimeters more clearance is ok. It might even be better, if your stock makes it hard to get your eye real low or if your scope has a deep erector housing and you're using a one-piece mount. Similarly, in the real world a couple...

    Rifle Scopes Rifle Scope Ring Height and Clearance Calculator

    For a Vortex Razor HD2 4.5-27x56 with sunshade, a 20 MOA Spuhr mount reduces clearance by just over 2mm and a 30mm mount reduces clearance by just over 3mm. I don't think it's accurate to characterize that as "pretty small", especially when the calculator gives its results in hundredths of a...
