    Rifle Scopes Using red dot for BUS

    Have used most of the small red dot sights. I have had the best results with Doctor, Leupold Delta Point and Trijicon RMR - all good. I am currently testing the latest from C-More and Firepoint, so far so good! I have had very poor results from the cheaper sights. Lenses come loose...

    Seems very much like the target hangers you saw at the Voigt/Surefire match... MV

    Which action is the s-m-o-o-t-h-e-s-t...?

    Re: Which action is the s-m-o-o-t-h-e-s-t...? Thanks to all! Some for the first hand experience, others for some wicked sense of humor! The "smoothness" I am interested in is both the bolt lift (to minimally disrupt the shooting postion) and when the bolt is at full retraction and starting...

    Bedding an HS Precision stock?

    Re: Bedding an HS Precision stock? You really need to bed any stock without an aluminum bedding block - McMillan, Manners, Laminated, etc. You MIGHT need to bed a stock with an aluminum bedding block. HS, Houge, etc. The need to bed a stock with a machined bedding block usually has to do...

    Flying with Guns.

    Re: Flying with Guns. Very good article for the first time flier with firearms! I have had TSA break more items and do more stupid things than I would have thought possible. * Spotting scope was repacked so muzzle went through it. * M4 uppers were repacked so EOTechs were damaged. * Told I...

    which stock for a Tactical style rifle

    Re: which stock for a Tactical style rifle I would choose the A5 over the HTG stock for tactical match use. The HTG is great for a low mounted scope in general use. I use one on a 300WM M70 hunting rifle and love it. The A series stocks tend to be better for the predominately prone shooting...

    laser range finder research

    Re: laser range finder research The PLRF should have a red aiming box LED. You will need to look through the little instruction manual to see how to turn it on and off. A shooting buddy and I each have PLRF range finders. It is normal to range to 3000m on big items, easily past 2000m on...

    Gunsmithing Flute and chop an AR10T?

    Re: Flute and chop an AR10T? Cut it! There is almost never an accuracy reduction from cutting a barrel. The better balance will make you wonder why they make a 24" Fluting a barrel can cause problems from time to time and more often with a button rifled barrel (which is what the AR10-T uses)...

    LRF 1000+yrds - are they available?

    Re: LRF 1000+yrds - are they available? Vectronix PLRF is the least expensive unit that will always range past 1000. The hunting LRFs will have trouble ranging small targets, into the sun, etc. With the PLRF, it is very unusual to have a target that can't be ranged accurately to 3000m. Mike

    Re: What is the best best powder for 338 lapua 300 gr? I would certainly recommend N560 and H4831. Both have a shown great accuracy and consistant velocity in a wide temperature range. Mike

    Gunsmithing Lubricants

    Re: Lubricants For an all purpose lube, it is hard to beat Break Free products. For specialty applications (bolt lugs, cocking cams, sear), I use several other lubes. What superior properties does your lubricant have other than salt spray test results? Mike

    What is the best Laser Rangefinder for the money?

    Re: What is the best Laser Rangefinder for the money? Leica 1200 is a good laser for the bucks. Consitant ranging capability to approx 800m, sometimes out to 1000m. Swarovski seems to range farther 1000-1200m and on less reflective objects than the Leica - huge reticle really sucks... If...

    Best muzzle break for the 338 cal.

    Re: muzzle breaks Take a look at the SureFire muzzle brake. Good recoil control, far less blast on the shooter than most others I have used, smaller size due to efficiency and it will mount a suppressor. http://www.surefire.com/SuppressorAdapters86mm338Caliber Mike

    Lapua vs. Winchester New Brass

    Re: Lapua vs. Winchester New Brass "Value" to me depends on your desired use of the product compared to your cost. Lapua brass will not have burrs in flash holes, flash holes will be the same size and length, necks will be annealed and consistant in thickness and the case head will be TOUGH...

    Gunsmithing Bore solvent, best one out there?

    Re: Bore solvent, best one out there? Wow, this will be a topic with many opinions... I usually use Butch's Bore Shine. WipeOut is a great one to use also. Both work on carbon as well as copper fouling. I believe that the chemical should do the work, so apply them with a mop, patch or nylon...

    help me Choose: 7mm or .308

    Re: help me Choose: 7mm or .308 I would buy the rifle in 308. Try 168g and 175g match ammunition from good sources. Skip the FMJ crap as it typically shoots horrible and will prevent you from testing and growing in skill. You should get into reloading as soon as the need to shoot over...

    Rifle Scopes PMII scope rings

    Re: PMII scope rings I have been pleased with my set of 34mm Badger rings on a Surgeon build. The 1" height seems to work with most rails and barrel diameters. I would do some very careful measuring if going to a lower ring. Mike
