Re: .30BR dreamin' Greg, for what you want to do, the 30BR is an excellent choice. -Using a barrel with a known junk bore will <span style="text-decoration: underline">guarantee </span> junk results, regardless of the chambering. The most accurate cartridge on Planet Earth still needs an...

Re: barrel scopes! My interest would be for the 18" model. A mirror on the end so you're looking 'up' at the lands and grooves would be important, as well. A 90 degree eyepiece on the end would be a nice option, but not a must. Thanks! -Al

Re: Bolt face erosion? William: Barring excessive pressures (whatever that might be), the biggest single thing you can do to minimize gas leakage is to have as much of the case as possible completely in the chamber. That's why the coned bolt actions with a sliding plate extractor...

Re: Bolt face erosion? Even though the gas cutting on the b.f. looks bad, it really doesn't hurt anything, functionally. One of the reasons I asked about the cases used was because the primer leakage ring is off center from the firing pin hole. 'Course, that's not unusual anyway...and...

Re: Bolt face erosion? Did you get any brass with the gun? I've seen this with 6.5X284's that used Winchester 284 brass or Norma 6.5X284 brass in a chamber done with a reamer based on Lapua 6.5X284 brass. The Lapua case is bigger at the back end than either of the others and it doesn't...

Re: 5 time Super Shoot winner's top accuracy secret The Super Shoot is the worlds largest Benchrest tournament and the most prestigous to win. It's held each year the week before Memorial Day at Kelbly's (the action mfg.) in North Lawrence, Ohio. There are generally over 350 competitors...

Re: wind flags A simple vane style wind flag with a tail is the best learning tool a rifleman will ever use. These doubles are really helpful. The double vanes allow you to see the angle changes really well and painting the sides different colors tells you immediately if a big...

Re: Rem 700 Cocking Piece Broke I've seen this once...on a later 700 with the sintered metal cocking piece. If that's what yours is (can't quite tell from the pic), replace it with an early version. When you replace it, make sure the leading edge of the cocking piece tang doesn't...

Re: Bedding question...not how to, but If you're taping around the headless screws for your clearance, here's another approach to eliminate a problem there. I drill the action screw holes to 5/16" (.312) and then epoxy these flanged Delrin sleeves into the holes....their o.d. is .312 and...

Re: Nightforce NXS Vs Nightforce Benchrest Scopes I've not noticed any appreciable difference between the two.....assuming testing like powered scopes with similar objective sizes and that each scope is properly focused for the individual, of course. A 5.5-22X56 NSX on 22X will be...

Re: Scope base screws not straight hofhine: I don't believe you've got a problem as regards the base screws. 22 moa is a huge amount for them to be off..and these certainly aren't off that much, if at all. Like HateCa pointed out, we don't know which way the bore is pointing. The thread...
