Hello guys, I'm about to drill and tap the holes on my CZ452 to be able to mount a scope base which uses 3 screws (6x48). Since this is my first time doing this, I just want to make sure everything is ok. I was able to get 3 HSS taps (one for each hole). Hardened to 60-63 RC. Is this enough to...

Hi all.. I've been using a USO SN3 3.2-17 for a while and today I mounted a S&B 5-25. I noticed that it's much more difficult to get a perfect view through the S&B. The USO seems more forgiving to form a good image. Are you experiencing the same or is it me?

Hello, Yesterday I installed a new trigger on my rifle. When runing some security tests, I found that the trigger will break if I close the bolt hard. I decided to increase the pullweight and sear engagement just a little. Problem solved. But a new problem ocured: When I start applying...

Hi guys!! I need some help to get started in precision shooting. I already finished my first own rifle (700 police, 308win, aics, sn3) and I went to the range to test it (and test myself). I shot 50 rounds and the rifle seems great. But the shooter isn't good at all... so I'm looking for some...

Hello guys.. I need some help to replace the factory trigger on my M700 Police (308Win / 26" barrel). I'm going to use a Shilen trigger which came without safety mechanism and without bolt release mechanism. The instructions sheet that came with Shilen trigger says I've to move all the parts...

Hello guys, I need some help to figure out exactly how the EREK knob works. I've read all the posts about this and watched all the USO and youtube videos but I can't fully understand the thing... Is it true that using this knob I will be able to zero at 100 yards and end up with about 8.5 mils...

Hi guys, I recently finished my first build. Remington 700 police on an AICS and other toys. Today I removed the stocksides and I found something I'm not sure it's the way it should be. I can clearly see a gap under the factory recoil lug and on the front of it. That's the way it is supposed...

Hey guys... I'm doing my homework and re-reading (one more time) all the info before replacing my Remington 700 factory trigger with a Shilen one... and I came up with this doubt: In the Remington factory trigger there's a lot of contact between the sear and the trigger (I think you call this...

Most, if not all, torque wrench manufacturers tell theyr wrenches will remain accurate for XXXX time. After that period of time, they recommend to get it calibrated. Does that mean that the tool, stored for XXXX time in the toolbox, without having been used, will loose it's accuracy? Or do they...

Hi, I got this standar height rings for my 58mm sn3. Do you think there's enough clearance between barrel and objective? It's about 4mm. The scope is as forward as possible I might have to move it a little to the back, so this clearance would decrease about 1mm or 2. Leaving 2mm clearance. The...

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how the EREK knob works so I don't break anything while zeroing my sn3. Please correct me if I'm wrong with this: 1. Center the erector following the instructions on the video in US Optics' website. After doing this I will end up with about 13 mils of travel in...
