    My options to accurize M14

    Agree 100% on that.. Not to takethis thread any further than it needs, but yes, it’s a battle rifle. It was not meant for scoping, and though you can scope it and attain very good accuracy these rifles can obtain, it is a battle rifle first. Personally, I don’t mount scope on mine because it...

    My options to accurize M14

    The M14 is a good rifle, but depending on what they send you is the big Q. (model type, barrel condition, trigger, gas system, bolt, etc.) Honestly you may spend your budget simply adding a scope. The M14 rifle is not a great mounting system rifle, BUT the suggestions for mounts from previous...

    M1A Issues

    +1 Also, case head may be 'sticking' as well. What kind of brass do you use? Try a small base die as well, you may not be getting enough sizing at the case head area, just above the web. Check head space as well. Do you clean the chamber? if not, this could lead to sticking cases. Try...

    Rifle Scopes Mrad IS Meteric

    Lowlight - I think your right on, but this thread's very existance is fact that people don't get the big picture and why they were relegated to MOA use in the first place. If they can't interpret it for what it is, then that's not anyone's fault but their own...

    Is the M1A a Good Rifle?

    +1 The short answer is YES. Though, you have to weigh how you will use it though, and how bad do you enjoy military period weapons. For me, I’ve always wanted one, and ultimately it was not a question of which is ‘better’, (vs. AR ) it’s a question of your preference. The M1A will shoot...

    Rifle Scopes scope elevation travel & correction

    roggom, its tough for me to think in mil/moa at this time because I am working in theory only, so i don't have the tools to implement the system - scope is fine plex reticle, no graduation marks, .25" clicks (not moa)... but, I'm leaning towards milrads, when I do spring for a new scope.. I'm...

    Rifle Scopes scope elevation travel & correction

    That helps.. Im teaching myself Milrads and moa and so far so good.. I have been shooting for a while just not out past 300 yds. I have been using Burris 10x scope to this point and has served me well - my crosshairs may not be totally suited to long range but I’m gonna give it a try anyway...

    Rifle Scopes elevations gut check on scope

    I’m going thru this exercise for a gut check; pls bear with me.. my manual says I have 50” of interval elevation and windage travel at 100-yds. (@ .25” per clik). I just checked the number of clicks I have and counted: 132 cliks UP & 90 cliks DOWN. (222 total) So I assume at...
