    Rifle Scopes Barrett Model 99 - scope eye relief

    I have an M99 with a nxs 5-22 on it and I have never had a problem. I always make sure that new shooters are as far back from the scope as possible before they shoot. No one has had an issue yet. I would agree that 2.9" sounds a little tight. But without a slow motion camera I cant say if...

    trg 42 questions

    Re: trg 42 questions Barrel is threaded from the factory. No need to bed the action. Nothing wrong with the factory bolt handle either. Massoud pretty much nailed it. Put some optics on it, adjust the stock so it fits you and go shooting.

    What's a fair price? - aka - Getting divorced.

    Re: What's a fair price? - aka - Getting divorced. I would say the scout would be around 1800 and the Barrett should be in the mid/low 3k range.

    The TRG accessories argument

    Re: The TRG accessories argument So in other words if I want a 20moa or so base (which is pretty standard around here so I am surprised to see some debate about wanting or needing a 20moa base). I need to buy the $195 AI Mount for the AE. Or for the TRG I buy a warne base for $90 and...

    Hello, I recent picked up a used AI AE MKII with the 20" barrel and muzzle brake. Right before the muzzle brake starts that barrel has a ding in the finish. Anyone know what the default barrel coating is? I was thinking of getting one of those Birchwood Casey super black touch-up pens and...

    Hello all, I have a trg42 in 338 Lapua took it to the range to get sighted in and everything was great. After running the brass through my full length sizing die I notice they all have a ring about .3" from the base of the case, where it looks like the die had to work them over pretty hard...

    338 Lapua Sanity Check

    Re: 338 Lapua Sanity Check I did some more searching around and found some old digital copies from 2002 and 2004 of the lapua/VV reloading manual. The max charge for N560 in 2002 was 85.0Gr (the reported speed also matches what the Sierra reloading manual for that charge weight), in 2004 was...
