I have a PWS T3 Summit action on the shelf for which I've started ordering components and I may have just screwed up but want to check here before I get really concerned. Seeing as how they're the bee's knees of .22LR 10/22 barrels, I ordered a Kidd 16.5" stainless bull barrel but just now saw...

Can anyone recommend a barrel, other than the PWS tube, that works well with a PWS T3 Summit action? I bought one a couple weeks ago to build into a suppressor host for on-the-sneak squirrel assassination but since the T3 has dual extractors I'm not sure if any old 10/22 barrel will work or if...

HH6 and I have been talking more about where we might settle when she retires from the AF since her year group/AFSC are on the "eligible" list to get out effective 1 Aug or 1 Sept of next year. She's gotten curious about Chattanooga, TN (so have I) so I'm hoping for some opinions of folks in...

When using a neck-sizing die set and a body die to bump the shoulders back of fired .338LM brass (that's how I ass-u-me shoulder-bumping is done...), how does one control the amount of shoulder bump? I've read that 0.002" is a good amount to set shoulders back but do you have to use Redding...

Has anyone had an issue with the kinda/sorta limited elevation travel (19.something mils) in the Steiner 5-25x56? I'm looking at one of them for my TRG-42 in .338LM, probably in a canted Spuhr mount, but the amount of travel compared to the 30-ish mils available in the other scopes on my list...

Does anyone know how (or can point me to a set of instructions on how) to replace the indexer on a Dillon XL650 press? It was a damned good thing I ordered a spare parts kit that came in today since, while getting the machine up and running again after a ~5 year hiatus, the indexer broke. My...

Now that I have my reloading setup up-and-mostly running again, I've got a question about brass. For loading precision boltgun ammo, is it ok to use the casings from Federal Gold Medal .308 with "FC .308 WIN" headstamps and Federal Gold Medal 7.62x51 with "FC 11" headstamps interchangeably or...

I've got a .338LM on order from a member here and now I get to think/plan optics that'll let me work that rifle out at distance since a 2,500 yard range just opened that has me drooling in anticipation... At this point, I'm trying hard to find a reason NOT to buy a Vortex Razor HD with the...

While flipping through the latest Sinclair catalog I saw that RCBS has come out with the Rockchucker Supreme that's supposed to be for new/longer cartridges. When I buy a .338 Lapua, should I be good with the Rockchucker I bought back in '99 or will I have to buy an updated press to reload for...

Has anyone here experimented with installing flush cup QD sockets in the side of a boltgun stock just forward of the recoil lug and if so, how did it work out for you? I've been thinking about putting a pair of those sockets into my rifle's stock (H-S Precision on a 700P) there since (1) it...

I finally more-or-less finished, less paint and an eventual can, finished my boltgun and now I need a case for it. With the stock folded it's appx. 29"x10.5"x4" so I was thinking either a discreet (no MOLLE, no more than a small velcro patch, preferably in an obnoxious civvie color, etc...) SBR...

I tried bedding my scope base (Seekins base on a SA Rem.700) today following the instructions on 8541Tactical and it didn't go all that well. Since there wasn't much more than a hair's-width of light showing at one edge of the base, I guessed no more than a skim-coat of bedding would be a good...

In general, are verbal contracts/handshake agreements actionable in court? My roommate just got dismissed from the nursing program we're both in for being "unprepared" for clinicals and when he emailed me earlier today he pretty much said "too bad about my 1/2 of the rent and utilities--I'm...

Is it normal to have some "pixellation" (not the exact word, but close enough) when using a scope with a Tennebraex Killflash to look at a small-ish bright object at night? I bought one a couple weeks back b/c it was on sale and figured I'd give it a whirl but noticed that sometimes when looking...

I realize this is a very specific question that mandates a similarly specific answer, but hopefully someone can help. If anybody has a Rem.700 with a 17.5" bbl and a Surefire MB762SSAL/RE brake, could you please measure how long the bbl is from the rear surface of the recoil lug to the...

[sheepish expression] Well, I screwed up and got ahead of myself so I'm asking for help here with my Rem. 700 trigger... [/sheepish expression] Basically, I got ahead of myself and punched out the two pins holding the X-Mark Pro trigger onto my Rem.700 before looking really thoroughly at it...

I've had this build going on for YEARS now--buying pieces/parts as I get the dough saved up or sell off unused/unneeded gear and certain ones have come on the market. I've only shot it with irons so far but it's shaping up to be a hellish-accurate piece if I was able to empty a 30 round...

HH6 and I have been talking a bit about where we'd like to live when she retires in 5-ish years and we keep coming back to North Carolina so I'm curious if anyone here who's in the western part of the state around Asheville could offer some thoughts. She told me N.C. doesn't tax military...

Would I be risking the integrity/strength of a composite stock (Bell and Carlson M40, specifically) by putting two screws into it to attach a rail segment? I'd like to be able to swap a bipod between the bolt gun and my AR but the bolt gun will need to have a bit of rail on the underside of the...

Remington 700 AAC-SD 20 MOA base (not sure what brand, most likely Seekins or Larue) Weaver Tactical 3-15 If I go with Seekins rings, should I be OK with "medium" ones or could I squeak though with "low" rings? I ran the ring height calculator on Seekins' web site and there wasn't a profile...
