    Rifle Scopes Valdada IOR Scopes? Are their scopes any good?

    Disco, do you actually own any IOR Valada scopes? Have you seen the Terminator 12-52X56? It has a SFP reticle, 40mm tube and loads of elevation. Glass is second to none, MP 8 Extreme reticle is fantastic and the turrets are definitely repeatable. I will not be personally taking mine into...

    Rifle Scopes Valdada IOR Scopes? Are their scopes any good?

    Stupid is as stupid does. Evaluate the scope on your own. Do the research. Does it work for your intended purpose? What I wouldn’t do is listen to people that have a pre-disposition against a brand and that everything they make sucks! Have a spine

    .223 hates me... any thoughts?

    I would check your powder charges. Extruded powders are always more difficult when it comes to metering consistently. I found that if I polished the metal on the bottom of the powder measure, metering with extruded powder was a bit more accurate but still not great. I bet that if you pull some...

    Neck turning questions

    Here is a piece of brass that I just prepped. It seems like this one came out better. I tried to run the case through the expander die without performing an outside chamfer (debur), but the case didn't want to go into the die. I did tweak my full length resizing die. Maybe that was the...

    Neck turning questions

    Perhaps it is an optical illusion. I will try chamfering after the neck turning has been done. That makes a lot of sense! As for the bushing die, I thought it resizes the entire case if I have it set up to do so. I bought 50 pieces of new Hornady brass and 100 pieces of new Lapua brass. I...

    Neck turning questions

    Hello, I have been reloading for 15 + years. I just had a precision rifle built in 6.5 Creedmoor and decided that I wanted to turn my case necks for uniformity and improved accuracy. The rifle does not require neck turning due to a tight chamber. I am taking this step to see how it improves...

    Help Me Choose a Cadex Chassis For A New Custom Build

    Which Cadex chassis would you choose for a build in 6.5 Creedmoor and why? The rifle will be used for precision rifle competition. Right now I am torn between the Lite Strike and the Lite Competition. I won't be putting any other accessories on the rifle other than a bipod, scope and scope...

    Gunsmithing Installing Daniel Defense 7.62 Lite Rail on Armalite .308

    Extreme, That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much! Just one last question. Do you recommend anti-seize compound or medium strength loc-Tite on the barrel nut? Anti-seize would seem to make more sense. CB

    Gunsmithing Installing Daniel Defense 7.62 Lite Rail on Armalite .308

    Extreme, What will I need to remove the factory tube from the Armalite AR 10? I am thinking a strap wrench will work. Any suggestions for removing the gas block? Do I need to remove the pins that hold the gas tube? Cam you tell me more about lining up the gas tube? Sorry for the newbie...

    Gunsmithing Installing Daniel Defense 7.62 Lite Rail on Armalite .308

    Hi All, I will be picking up my new Armalite AR 10T later this week. I just received a Daniel Defense 7.62 lite rail in the mail today. I will also be receiving a Armalite upper receiver vice jaw clamp and a PRI Armalite barrel but wrench. I have heard that the factory Aramlite barrel nut...

    Re: Leica ER 3.5-14x42 Plex reticle with windage and Hi, Does anyone else have any knowledge of this scope and it's features? I am most concerned with the feel of the target turrets! Please let me know what you think. I don't want to drop $1,600 plus on a dog. I can probably find one...

    Rifle Scopes Leica ER 3.5-14x42 Plex reticle with windage and

    Re: Leica ER 3.5-14x42 Plex reticle with windage and Hi, I am thinking about this scope with either the Plex reticle or the Ballistic reticle (hash marks on just the lower verticle cross hair). I am disappointed that you thought the turrets were so loose. How long ago did you purchase...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for CZ 527 Varmint in .223

    Re: Scope for CZ 527 Varmint in .223 Mr. Big, Never even thought of going to the Leupold Custom Shop. I wonder if they could also add an illuminated reticle? CB
