    Suppressors BATF Form 4 run around.

    Re: BATF Form 4 run around. At least it's just for a toy and is merely aggravating. Imagine if it was for your work visa to remain in the US and you weren't told that they had "lost it" until 2 weeks before the old visa expired and their response was little more than "You did everything...

    Rifle Scopes NF vs bushnell elite

    Re: NF vs bushnell elite The Nightforce is built like a tank and the higher magnification versions also will have more adjustment than the Bushnell. They have a lot more reticule options as well. Both have excellent tracking and are reliable. To my eye the Bushnell has better glass. The...

    .223 remy

    Re: .223 remy As the distance increases the effects of wind and MV consistency are going to become more apparent. Those are what will determine your max effective range with that ammo on paper since they determine your ability to hait a certain sized target. The difference in twist rate...

    Rifle Scopes Burris Signature Zee Rings question

    Re: Burris Signature Zee Rings question You can't use the +0.010 and -0.010 in different rings. Those must be paired together to get a 0.010 offset. If you try to install each with a 0 insert half, one ring will end up tight and the other loose.

    Re: Savage owners It's not part of the stock, but it isn't metal either. None of my Savages came with a metal trigger guard, including my 12FV.

    Re: Scope Mount Unless you've got some mutant action, you're looking at a short action rail. My long action lines up perfectly with the rail I have for it.

    Rifle Scopes Burris 30mm offset insert thickness measurements?

    Re: Burris 30mm offset insert thickness measurements? It's in thousandths of an inch as demonstrated above which would translate to 10MOA with a 6.5" spacing ring to ring. More spacing means less MOA and less is more.

    Rifle Scopes Light weight hunting scope?

    Re: Light weight hunting scope? In a hunting situation you will likely not have time to dial come-up. Also most hunting scopes don't have exposed turrets. Forgoing "tactical" features lets you get more for your money in the way of glass (both quality and/or magnification or zoom range).

    What is the largest diameter barrel for savage 10?

    Re: What is the largest diameter barrel for savage 10? If you eliminate the nut and shoulder and headspace is standard with other actions, you can go as big as you want. Savage uses a nut from the factory but you're not forever wedded to using one.
