    Zeiss PRF will not work in light fog!

    Was kinda disappointed to find my range finder would not range 200yrds in a light fog... I could see the fence I was ranging, and was hitting the attached sign that was hanging on it, no go! Was setting up to ambush a buck running amuck in the airport I work at, but he fooled us yet again, and...

    Factory M700 LTR trigger group?

    Did Remington ever supply the LTR with a Rifle Basix trigger group? My LTR was factory supplied with a very nice 10oz trigger, not the X mark pro. Those of you with a LTR, does your trigger look like this? I called Remington, and they claim to not use Rifle Basix triggers......

    Rifle Scopes Who makes the lowest rings?

    I'm using Warne Maxima 30mm low rings(.250") on my Farrell 0 moa base(kinda tall), and will be installing a 40mm scope. My 50mm objective already has plenty of room. I need shorter rings or a shorter base, would rather go with the rings.... Thanks for any info! I should add, I do have an...

    Gunsmithing Ring alignment tool

    Built this today to set up my windage adjustable base on my varmint rifle. I turned a piece of round stock in the lathe to exactly 1", and bored a hole down the center before I unchucked the piece. You can bore sight the rifle and and base, without using the scope to turn the front ring. After...

    OCW test results

    Decided to run a OCW test on my R700 LTR .223, and have some questions. Loading 69gr SMKs, Varget, CCI400s, Lapua brass. Shooting off a frt rest, prone, rear bag. Anyways, my old go to load for this rifle was 24gr, usually shoots .5moa pretty consistantly, but got a hair to go the rest of the...

    Good shooting bag!

    Tried the search function with no luck, but looking for opinions on rear shooting bags. Most of the bags Midway sells are out of stock, and reviews show them splitting open. What are some good ones? Shooting prone with a bipod....

    Rifle Scopes Vari-xIII cloudy behind objective

    I have a 90s vintage Vari-xIII that while cleaning the objective lense, I noticed the inside has something on it. Will Leupold replace the glass if I send it in, or clean it? I don't notice the cloud while looking through it, so I might not bother with it.

    Shifting POI issue resolved

    After about 50 rounds of .308, my groups would shift to the left about 1"-2" at 200yrds. Still tight groups, just baffeled me. Well it was my Harris bipod shifting on my flat bottomed B&C stock.....Straightened it back out, groups returened to where I wanted them. I ordered a #9 Harris adapter...

    New LTR .223, first load work up.(Update!)

    Finally got out to shoot my first reloads through my new LTR, and more work will be needed! I shot some 52gr Sierra match kings, over H335 powder, and the first group on a clean barrel, was my best at .613" for 5rds, worst was 1.168" including a called flyer. (Still getting used to the 8oz...

    Question for you Rem700 LTR owners(Trigger pics)

    Just picked this up in a trade, unfired, and looks untampered with. So why does this thing have an 8oz trigger pull?? Kinda light, and reminds me of a Savage accutrigger on their varmint-target series. I'm not complaining, cause its a target rifle when I get a scope mounted, but man thats light...

    Rifle Scopes ACDs Who uses them? Update(Me likey!)

    I shoot on a lot of unlevel ground, and was thinking about getting a level for my rifle. Who uses the scope ring levels? Or would a rail mounted unit be better? Thanks for your time.

    Rifle Scopes Eye relieve on VXIII 8.5-25x50 LR

    I have a problem I've never had with any other scope. I can't find a happy medium, on my eye relieve. Shooting off a bench at 25X, you gotta stretch over the rifle, but set it back to 8.5X and it feels like I'm back to far. Anybody else run into this? Of course it feels natural right in the...

    Rifle Scopes Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50- target turret question

    Looking to pick one of these up, but read the turrets are numbered a little different. Are the numbers 1 moa, or something else? The Zeiss web site claims 1/4" per click at 100yrds, but there seems to be 10 dashes between the numbers. I also see the limited elevation travel, how far out will...

    H335- Max load data in .223 bolt action

    I'm developing a load for my Rem 700 SPS Varmint .223, and previously thought 26gr H335 was a max load, using 50gr bullets. I just found Sierras .223 Bolt action data, claiming 28grs as max. Anyone load that hot? My groups were shrinking at 26gr, with some vertical stringing, and heard the...
