    Is it a bad idea to use an aluminum pic rail with steel rings

    I was doing so research and I read that using a aluminum rail with steel rings is a bad idea, as the thermo expansion of the rail and rings will be at a different rate.

    F T/R Competition Vortex Golden Eagle

    Just like some feedback from any users of this scope. I am currently shooting a Savage 10 FCP-K in .308 with a SS 10-40 scope. I shoot mostly between 300 to 600 yards. I have a chance to pick up a Golden Eagle at a good price. How desirable are these Golden Eagle scopes in F class ?

    F T/R Competition Starting out in F T/R

    I am looking to start out in mid range F T/R this summer. I currently have a Savage 10FCP-K in .308 which has a 24" barrel and a 1 in 10 twist rate. On my 10FCP-K I have SWFA SS 10x mil-dot scope. For the bi-pod I have a Harris. Most of my shooting will be at mid ranges as most matches around...

    F T/R Competition Good Glass For FT/R

    Need some recommendations for a good scope for shooting .308 FT/R class. My max budget is $600.00 I currently have a 10x mildot SS scope. Most of the shooting I will be doing is mid range stuff (300 to 600 yrds) as we have no 1000 yrd ranges in my area.

    Rifle Scopes Interesting observation with my SS 10x42M

    I was shooting a 100 yards the other day using my SS 10x42M scope on my Savage 10FCP-K. I was using a target that has a orange dot with a black diamond inside the dot. I adjusted the parallax as normal but I noticed that the black diamond would move within the orange dot and the reticle if I...

    Handloading for Armalite AR10A4

    OK so Armalite gives a acceptable headspace range of 1.633" min. to 1.638" max. for the Armalite AR10A4. I am confused if these numbers are chamber specs. or cartridge specs. Would setting my die to give me a brass size between 1.633" to 1.638" be correct given the dimensions given by Armalite?

    Harris S type bipod keeps coming loose

    I have a Harris S type bipod on my Savage 10FCP-K and every time I finish a shooting session I notice that the mounting screw gets loose and the bipod will then be loose enough to wobble on the stock. Is this normal or can I do something to the bipod to help keep it tight?

    Anybody own Howard Leight Impact Sport muffs?

    I just purchased a pair and I notice that when i have them on and and I get a louder noise such as my dog barking I get a bit of distortion to the barking noise before the muffs start to regulate (or shut down) the barking noise. It almost sounds like the electronics are getting over modulated...

    Are these really Mi-Spec M80 projectiles?

    Take a look at these bullets on the widners site. Are these really Mil-Spec M80 bullets? They are listed at 145 gr. FMJBT. I thought M80 bullets where 147 gr non BT. http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=7238&dir=278|281|1081|1161

    Rifle Scopes Anybody use the SWFA S.S.A.L.T. mount?

    Anybody here ever use this SWFA S.S.A.L.T.one piece cant. mount? Looks the same as the Burris version which I think isn't very good in quality. I received one from a buddy who had no use for it, and I was thinking of using it with my SWFA 6X42 SS on my AR10A4. I would feel better using it if i...

    Using early 1990's M852 in my Savage 10 FCP-K

    I have several boxes of M852 match ammo from the early 90's and yesterday I was shooting a couple boxes through my new Savage 10 FCP-K. I was having a issue with a few of the rounds chambering tightly. I would slide the bolt forward but the bolt was tight in locking up. This only happened on a...

    Rifle Scopes Shortest 20 MOA one pice scope mount

    I now have a EGW 20 MOA hd scope base on my Savage rifle and even with the shortest rings I could find the scope is still a bit higher on the rifle than I would like. I am having to use about 1.5 ins of foam under my stock pack to get proper cheek weld. I am going to be replacing the base and I...
