    Optics WTS/WTT Nightforce Benchrest BR scope 12-42x56 NP-R2 - C104 - price drop

    I bought this recently as part of a package deal, but it's not exactly what I need. It's an MOA scope and has 1/8 MOA turrets. NP-R2 illuminated reticle. It'll come as like new in the original box and packaging, along with all the stickers, manual, NF cleaning cloth, bag, the sunshade and the...

    Rifle Scopes BC Flip size for Nitrex TR-One OBJ?

    So my one bastardized scope that I got in a bundled trade is a "Nitrex TR-One" 3-9x42. I have a BC flip cap for the eye, but need one for the OBJ. My experience in simply measuring hasn't been great for getting the correct size, so does anyone know what OBJ size is needed for this model?

    Site maintenance?

    So it seems that throughout the last day or two, the "site maintenance" notice comes up. It's sporadic though. Most recently, I got the message about 5 minutes ago when trying to post something. Is this a universal issue? Is it planned, or a problem with the site?

    WTF with this "Kevin Chen" poster?

    All his posts are random bumps in "for sale" topics. They ALL say: "good luck with the sale". http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=userposts&id=69050

    So I have an extra AICS 1.0 SA stock now...

    So now that I got an XLR Evolution stock which I like more, it freed up one of my AICS stocks. So, I am debating about what to do with it. I already have Remington 700's in 308 and 223 (and a 40X in .22LR) in AICS 1.5 stocks. Are there any other SA Remington 700 rifles in a different caliber...

    FTF Sale? I don't think so... argh! (venting)

    So, I'm selling a scope I don't want on the classifieds here. I received a PM on 12/06 from a SH member who's been on the site for >2 years and is local to me: "I'm interested in the scope. I'm live in phoenix so we could do a face to face. Give me a call Troy [phone number redacted]" I...

    Rifle Scopes Why do USO SN4's only have 5/8 MOA adjustments?

    It just seems to be a very odd value. Why not .1 MRAD? Why not .5 MOA or .25 MOA?

    Remington 40-X .22LR - wow

    So I have several of the 40-X's and 40-XB's that I built up from the CMP out of barreled actions. I recently took a couple of them to the range for the first time in order to sight them in and see how well they shoot. I was floored. I didn't have any match ammo, but had some OK-quality CCI...

    Rifle Scopes NF 3.5-15x50 NXS non-ZS, non-HS, MRAD w/MLR - ?

    I have one of these that I bought second-hand quite some time ago, but for the life of me, I cannot find *anyone* who has them - either in-stock or on classifieds. Are the non-HS MRAD's just really rare? Or are they no longer made?

    The recent "BUY AMERICAN" comments here...

    I'm referring to this, specifically: The Atlasworx DBM group buy for a DBM system that is similar to all other (Badger, CDi) for less than $100 shipped. Atlasworx is an Australian company who has released a product that is apparently comparable in quality and craftsmanship to the Badger and...

    EuroOptics giveaway - questions

    Don't want to post in the real thread, so I have a few questions: 1 - There are a LOT of posters 'entered' in the giveaway that have 1-2 posts and/or sign-up dates after the giveaway announcement. While many are undoubtedly legitimately new users who were forwarded the info, I'm also betting...

    Suppressors POI change from suppressed to non-suppressed...

    So I have a good load worked up for my Remington 700 and a dope chart printed out with my zero at 100Y. It has an RWS muzzle brake on it, if that matters. When I swap the break for my thread-on 308 suppressor, obviously the POI shifts somewhat considerably, if not consistently at 100Y. I'm...

    Finishing stock - Matte or Satin polycoat?

    So I just painted my HS Precision stock in a GAP-style camo scheme using Krylon flat sprays and need to seal it with a poly finish to prevent chipping and nicks. Not sure if a Krylon Matte finish (1311) or a Krylon Satin finish (1323) would be best. Any suggestions?

    CDI DBM + Rem 700 in 223 in HS Precision stock?

    So I have an HS Precision stock that has been inlet by CDI for a CDI DBM. My Remington 700 is a .223 and is stock. When I put the rifle in the stock and snug it down with the screws, it's as if it's missing some shims between the CDI DBM and the screws. The screws are normal length but...

    Why no Remington 700 in .22LR? (not 40-X)

    Just wondering why Remington hasn't ever come out with a 700 model chambered in .22LR. I am already aware of the 40-X rifles, but they are single shot. It would be great if Remington made a rifle that was a 700 model in every aspect, but a repeater chambered in .22LR. Interchangeable stocks...

    Picked up some AR500 plates - take 308 hits @ dist

    So I picked up some 1/2" AR500 armor plates in various sizes. They will have a slight downward angle as I'm hanging them to deflect jackets downward. I'd imagine that these can handle any handgun rounds at any distance, but how about rifle rounds? I'd mostly be shooting 308, 223, 7.62x54R...

    Timing a new brake on a Remington 700 - help

    So I bought a few RWS brakes from Ross; one for my Remington 700 in .223, another for one in 308 and one for my LR-308. What's the best way for me to time these without doing any machining to the brake or the rifle? Crush washers? Peel washers? I tried a crush washer on the Remington 700 in...

    Some questions on CMP Remington 40X rifles...

    So I purchased a couple from the CMP with the intent to set them up as trainers for my Remington 700's. CMP already confirmed my order and I got the shipping notice. Anyway, I ordered these: <span style="font-style: italic">Remington 40X – Standard Barrel. Barreled Action only. Contains...

    Bought my 40MOA Nightforce base... small screws?

    So I removed my Badger Ord 20MOA base and today I received my Nightforce 40MOA base for my Remington 700 SA. It came with the base itself, allen wrench and five screws; 4 long screws and 1 short screw. I was a bit surprised, as they usually come with two small ones for the front and two longer...
