    Advice needed - bad batch of powder, primers, brass?

    Used Win 760 for some 8mm reloads. I bought 2 lbs from a reputable reloading dealer at a gun show about 6 weeks ago. The first 1 lbs container worked nicely, and I had no issues. The second container has been unusual. I was using "virgin" 8mm Hornady brass (I have never used before), CCI...

    TRG22, Poor Ejection, and BerettaUSA

    I was having ejection problems since I bought the rifle 2.5 years ago. At best, only about 90-95% of the spent cartridges ejected properly. Five-10% never made it out of the breech area. In addition, I had to briskly pull back on the bolt to achieve an inadequate level of reliability. I have...

    Accuracy Problems with LWRCI M6A3 DMR

    Background - The first 400 rounds defiantly sub-moa accuracy. Then accuracy started to degrade. I noticed the pins on the gas block were backing out. Called LWRCI and they provided a shipping label. Found out the pins were installed backwards. They replaced the pins and the gas block, but...

    TRG 22 Brass Ejection

    Brass ejection is rather anemic in my rifle. I have had quite a few occurrences where the brass does not make it out of the action (once every 15 or 20 rounds approximately). I use several brands of brass (no Lapua) and it occurs with all of them. I've had the extractor out and the ejector...

    Used Savage FP10 value?

    What’s a fair price for a used Savage FP10 rifle (.308) in a MAC A5 stock (glass bedded, pillared, AccuTrigger, standard detach magazine)? Includes a Ken Ferrell G-force 20 MOA steel base. Assume half the barrel life remains.

    Ace Case Manufacturing Sniper Rifle Case

    Picked up the 53 inch version and I'm quite pleased with it. Decent padding and a tough outer nylon shell. It also has alot of clearance for large scopes and bipods too. Very reasonably priced ($41.00 direct), but they soak you on shipping/handling. Still - for $56.00 delivered, it makes a...

    Do match primers really make a difference?

    Title says it all. Is the difference only noticeable at longer ranges? What's the actual difference between match and non-match primers?

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 1X25 TRS Micro-Dot - Maybe an issue

    Recently purchased from Midway for a very good price. My first impression was pretty positive - it looked very solid and nicely finished. The box indicates a 3000-hour life (setting 1?) and waterproof to 10 feet; which I was unaware of and see as a plus. However, the dot doesn't look very well...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace 5.5-25 50MM ML16

    Received a new 5.5-25(50MM) ML16 as a replacement for one that crapped-out after a year (& 600 rounds of .308). The defective scope was one of the first produced and imported into this county. RWSynder was very good about replacing it, although I noticed the warranty is now two years and I...

    Rifle Scopes Production Falcon 5-25X50MM - First Impression

    <span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">Pros</span></span> Optical clarity is good – some fuzziness at the outer edges. The windage/elevation (W/E) knobs are a bit more tactile than the 4.5X18 Falcon. Not a big difference - but noticeable. I think the three...

    Problem McMillan A5 Stock on Savage Rifle

    I took my rifle apart today because I thought the accuracy had diminished (but still pretty good). I noticed that the rear screw hole was cracked right down the middle of the rifle from the magazine well back to the trigger area and it’s all the way through. I guess I had over tightened the...

    My Angst is Over

    After some time I finally have my rifle shooting the way I expected. There are so many variables to consider - the ammo, the gun, the scope, the mount, the bench, the weather, the shooter, and probably a few others that I can’t think of at the moment. The rifle is a Savage FP10 in a McMillan...

    Rifle Scopes Adjustable objectives and sight picture

    I don’t have much experience with variable power scopes and adjustable objectives. I have noticed that dialing out the parallax creates fuzziness around the outer edges of the field of view. It is clear with good resolution for about 75% of the field of view (center), and a “fuzzy doughnut”...
