I am aware of a person selling Leupold TS-30A2 scopes in varying conditions. Are these scopes legally available as military surplus? If so, should the serial #'s or model #'s be obliterated? EDITED TO ADD: The TS-30 A2 is the Marine Corps version of the Mk 4, 2.5-8 x 36mm Ill. MilDot. What...

I am interested in users, or past users of the new Leupold Mk IV 2.5 - 8 x36mm scope with, or without, illumination. I am interested in purchasing the 2.5 - 8x36 scope for one of my AR-10 (T) Carbines in .308. That rifle is used quite a bit in the woods, on my quad in Marijuana grow country...

I had to go to Oroville, CA last friday to pick up some steel for a job. Oroville is home to <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #006600">RCBS</span></span>. I brought along my 30+ year old RCBS powder scale (Model 10-10 by O' Haus but unmarked) to try and get a new 'tenth grain'...

I have been kicking around the idea of getting a lightweight .223 in Remington 700 or Model Seven. I want it specifically for shooting predators without tearing up the pelts. So I have been thinking about hand-loading subsonic cartridges for up to 150 yard accuracy. It seems like a FMJ heavy...

Took this bobcat in the Sierra Nevada High Country, Donner pass area, North northern California

First I would like to thank all here who assisted me in answering my many questions about fireforming brass. I've been working on fireforming brass and developing a load for my Surgeon Scalpel. My son was visiting on leave before a shipping out to arm-pit-istan. I shot this group. This was the...

Good day fella's- I am reloading the 7 WSM and am having some difficulty with the COAL for the 180 Berger VLD's. I checked the base to the lands using TreMon's system. I am getting about 3.029" COAL, (Base to Ogive on comparator 2.181"), is that is way off, especially since I wanted to start...

I have to compliment LEICA for their customer support. I dropped my LEICA CRF1200 Rangefinder hunting last fall. The internal lense that reflects the distance readout moved, or broke. It was about 5 years old, well used with tree sap on it. It was used quite a bit. A few weeks ago I sent it...

I used to use sand, ultra fine white to coarse grit. Now that lead shot is $30 a pound, what clever filling media have you found that works well with shooting bags? (Canvas and Nylon lead sled bags) I have been looking at some kind of dense bean or grain at the health food store. Since a Sh!tbag...

I just set up my spankin' new Forster Co-Ax Press 2 nights ago. I have to say I am impressed! If you are looking to do any custom case work, I would highly recommend it and here is why. I am figuring out the neck-down procedure from Norma 7.62 to 7mm WSM brass. I am using the Redding...

Okay. I am at my wits end! I have a Redding Competition Bushing Neck Sizing die (Micrometer Head). I dismantled it a few days ago to clean the factory goo off. I put it back together but something isn't jiving. I cannot get the neck to size to the shoulder, about .060 away, and the decapping...

Good day fellow shooters. I have been reloading for over 20 years but mostly for hunting applications and a few target applications. My most recent project is necking down .300 WSM brass to make 7mm WSM using Norma brass. I have never necked down, or "wildcatted" a cartridge so I have a few...

Can somebody in the optics industry tell me why scopemakers are not making internal anti-cant bubbles in their scopes? I have an older Springfield Armory scope on my AR-10 (TU) that has the internal Anti-Cant bubble. It is circa year 2000 when they still made good scopes, and the optical...
