    Rifle Scopes LR handgun scope options

    I have used almost every handgun scope on the market in the past 23 yrs. I second the opinions of leupold, nikon or burris. Leupold takes the lead for clarity and reputation. They are limited in offerings with only2,4, and 2.5x8 offerings. Burris offers, 2, 2x7,3x12 currently. I have had...

    Gunsmithing remington 700 bolt handle broken,

    this case had the bolt stuck in the down/closed position. It would not allow bolt to rotate to release lug engagement. Upward pressure was generously applied.

    Gunsmithing remington 700 bolt handle broken,

    Chad, Thank You for the offer. I am unsure which route I am going yet. It was a bonehead move on my part, and I may just keep it that way for a little bit to remind myself..

    Gunsmithing remington 700 bolt handle broken,

    I recently had a bolt knob conversion done on a remington 700 bolt. The method used was the stud in a drilled hole with a thread on knob. It was a little longer than I wished, as my other handles were tapped to original handle. I started looking it over, decided to go with it. At range I...

    Rifle Scopes Cant vs no cant on base

    If you get it and never use it, atleast you already have it. If you dont and find out you need it you will spend the money twice. Get the 20 moa as a start.

    Rifle Scopes Not another new scope question..

    Ok, I will start by saying that over the years I had quite a few set ups, mostly Leupold mark 4, vary x III LRT scopes, as well as bushnell elites in various forms along with a couple weaver tacticals. I have had 4 night forces over the years and used a few other optics on duty rifles.. I...

    Gunsmithing recoil pad?

    On a side note, HS will sell you a thick pad, and install it, even refinishing the stock for a very reasonable rate. I had a beat HS stock redone with new pad and finish within a couple weeks and the stock looked better than it did when it came from remington .

    Rifle Scopes Need some help ACOG, or 1X4???

    My vote goes to a small variable. I have used many acogs ovable. I almost always end up swapping out to a 1 or 1.5 to 4 or 5 power. I like the acogs for hard combat or patrol use. I would rather have the versatility of a variable for anything else. I do not feel a red dot would be much...

    Barrel recommendations.

    I think you could get any manufacturer within that time. My preference would be .. in no particular order... Hart, bartlein, rock, .. if going on a rem 700, send it out to LRI for the build

    Rifle Scopes Pistol scopes?

    stick with leupold , bushnell elite or burris in no particular order. I have had and used evry model over the years. For small targets at distance you may want to look at the burris 3x9 0r 3x12 with the ballistic plex. I had one on a 460 smith and it worked well.

    Thinking about a .223 remington bolt gun. Have questions

    Awhile ago I was looking for a similar rifle. I would suggest skipping all mentioned and look for a used rem 700 xcr compact tactical. They have 1x9 twist, stainless with a black coating, and come with a hs stock, and 40x trigger. If you think of ( stock upgrade 225-1000's, trigger...

    Rifle Scopes spend my $1000 on a scope

    yes you can, the leupold is a good scope, I have had many of them. If you are not stuck on it, you can get better to use for longer range. If you are stuck at the 1k price point there are many options. If it were me , I would honestly be looking at a newer bushnell elite( new or used) A...
