    New Advertisements on the Site

    Re: New Advertisements on the Site I have no problem with it and my sites don't get anywhere near the traffic as this one. Media Temple handles sites for Sony, WB, Phillips, and a lot of big names. Their support and service is worth every penny that I pay. They ran me about $13 more than...

    New Advertisements on the Site

    Re: New Advertisements on the Site I was curious about the ad's. It just seemed like they popped out of no where. I'm not sure who you use for hosting. I recommend Media Temple. If you have to pay a lot for hosting, then go with these guys. I switched to them over a year ago and it has...

    Gunsmithing Finished my scope base...

    Re: Finished my scope base... To me machining is like shooting. Until you have your variables figured out, you take it slow and think it through. When I get a new gun I don't just jump into a competition with it. When I design a part, I don't know how strong the end result will be or how...

    Gunsmithing Finished my scope base...

    Re: Finished my scope base... I prefer to start slow and improve upon the process rather than to start hard only to repeat after mistakes. Not to mention I needed to make it for my rifle build. The more times I have to machine something, the longer it takes me to have a good day at the...

    Gunsmithing Finished my scope base...

    Re: Finished my scope base... @ keydiverfla PM me if you have any questions for your project. @ crumpmd I use a Haas VF1. @ 1sikpupi... I talked to a few people and have some idea of what I will end up doing. I was thinking for the price to be $50. That will include: - Any choice of...

    Photos Looking Down from my job...

    Re: Wind Farm where I work in Iowa I use to change light bulbs on towers. I hated it. I didn't mind water towers since they didn't sway... not to mention they rarely got over 150 high. Good money though. $1 per foot plus the hourly rate that was arranged. As you said, it got easier. The...

    Gunsmithing Finished my scope base...

    Re: Finished my scope base... @ TCA4570 I had 3 processes in machining it. First was cutting the bottom of the block. 2nd was doing the top contour, drilling, slots, and angles. 3rd was 3d'ing the bottom. 3d'ing the bottom took right around 14 minutes, running 50 IPM. That method...

    Gunsmithing Finished my scope base...

    Re: Finished my scope base... I used 7075. I don't mind sharing, but I can't remember the exact diameter that ended up with. It was trial an error on that part. I machined 4 small blocks testing the radius until I got one that fit good. When I get to the shop in the morning, I'll post it...

    Gunsmithing Finished my scope base...

    I finally got my 1-piece base machined. I wouldn't actually say it was finished since I still need to put a finish on it. It took me 2 tries on making it. The the double angle tool I ground was oversized and forgot to compensate for it. So the first one's rails were not to spec. I...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 VTR

    Re: Remington 700 VTR We had one in the shop to compare next to the SPS Tactical with the same stop. We had it shout a 5 shot group that was right at .8" and the tactical under .6" I didn't through but 2 groups through both of them. We don't like selling guns that we've sat around a shot...

    My first Remington 700

    Re: My first Remington 700 Yeah. I lucked out and got one with the xmark trigger than can be externally adjusted. We had another one in the shop that had a different type of it, the same as the VTR's, but it was the older x mark trigger. After I get the base machined I will be getting a...

    My first Remington 700

    I posted a while back about getting on. I've got a big project ahead of me, but I've finally been able to get out at play with it. I need to bush hog my field so I can shoot prone and see what groups I can get. I got my bolt know machined and installed. I started machining my 20 moa base for...

    Ark LE Sniper Course Vid

    I was going through some old files and came across a video I took while attending the Arkansas Law Enforcement Precision Marksman course (I know it is a damn long course title). Anyhow, there were basically 3 different qualifications. The six dot, phase 3, and the night shoot. Depending on...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 - smithing questions

    Re: Rem 700 - smithing questions Damn... not enough time in the day. Got my knob finished and my fixture for my bolt. Didn't have enough time to machine down the handle. The knob came out to 1.5" long and 0.9 diameter.
