    Rough looking lands and groves.

    What do guys think of this? Pics are of a 308 factory barrel on a bolt gun that I've had for a while and have put about 7 or 8 hundred rounds though it. I was cleaning it the other day and thought I would try out the bore scope. Wish I hadn't. I've always struggled with this rifle...

    Zero press versus Redding T-7 turret.

    Was looking at upgrading from my 1980s rock chuck. The question I have is: Can the Redding T-7, with the Creedmoore upgrade, build bullets as well as the Zero press? Don't care about faster than the Zero but how does the Redding T-7 compare for repeatability and head spacing and runout...

    Scope magnification for 800 yards or so.

    I'm currently shooting a 308 bolt gun and 223ar. I'd like to shoot those out to about 800 yards or so. I'm also looking at doing a tikka build to shoot out to 1000 at some point. Haven't decided on a caliber yet. Maybe a 22 creedmore. Question is, do you need more than a 4-20x50 to...

    Gunsmithing Epoxy or steel bedding compound or what?

    I have a wood Varmint stock for a Savage. I sent it of to a gunsmith ( one that gets high praise around here) and had in inletted for bottom metal. The stock came back with the bottom metal set back so far the gun won't pull a round out of the magazine. I'd like to try and move the...

    Accutrigger issue

    I have a Savage 10FP in 308 with an Accutrigger. I've heard about the trigger giving people problems because it was not pulled back straight. My intermittent problem is the accutrigger release ( the little blade in the middle of the trigger ) will not move at all. I was dry firing...

    Rifle Scopes Premier

    I hardly ever see a Premier scopes mentioned in these threads. Why is that? I bought one a while back ( 3 x 15 ) with the GEN 2 XR and finely got it mounted on my rifle. I haven't had a chance to box test it or give it a good work out yet but the glass is great and I'm pretty thrilled so...

    Butt stock spacers

    I am currently using a Winchester soft rubber but stock spacer to get close to the proper length of pull. This was, and isn't, my first choice but thats where I'm at right now. I still have some bipod hop and I was wondering if and how much this butt stock spacer/recoil reducer would...

    Co-witnessing a scope on an AR

    I'm looking at a new upper and am trying to decide on a barrel with an A2 front sight or a barrel with no front sight. My thought was to get a red dot and co witness the dot and the front sight to keep things simple but then I got to over thinking things and was looking at a 1x4 scope and have...

    Gunsmithing Another Savage DBM Question

    I saw a thread a while back about making a "New" magazine for the Savage 10. Got me to thinking. I have a FP10 in 308 so why can't some one come up with bottom metal that would take a DPMS or AR style magazine? I already have a bunch of those. They are readily available so why can't they...
