I need some help understanding the theory of pillar bedding, namely how the receiver is supported on the pillar and how the pillar is situated in the stock between the receiver and the bottom metal and trigger guard. I want to pillar bed my Boyd’s Tacticool stock for my Savage Mark II FVSR, and...

Cherry Ridge is thawing out, so I took my Rem 5R .308 to try out my new bedding job. 43.0gr Varget under 175 SMKs at 100 yds, and my almost stock Remmy did these 5-shot groups: The wind was puffing a bit, but I don't want to make excuses. This rifle shoots better than I can, I need to get out...

I have been looking for the 1000V hider for quite a while for a reasonable price, and found them in stock today at BATTLE TESTED EQUIPMENT · home for $61 shipped. Pretty good deal on a great product.

Midway has a few of these in stock at the moment, but I'm sure they won't last...

Which Picatinny rails mounting height is lower for a Remington 700 SA in 20moa, a Badger or a Seekins rail? Thanks

I recently had reason to seek service on my SS 10x42HD, and SWFA told me to contact Bushnell. I have searched as best as I can on this site and on the www, and I have not found a single post in which anyone mentions the fact that Bushnell honors the lifetime warranty on any of SWFA's scopes...

I have a Remington 5R .308 with a SS 10x42HD scope. I have the scope mounted on a EGW 20moa rail using TPS TSR low steel rings, and the front of my scope bell sits 3/8" over the barrel. What alternative to the base that I am using will lower my scope down 1/4"?

I am trying to choose between a Savage FV and a Savage FV SR. I plan to put the action on a Boyd’s Tacticool stock. The FV SR is nice because it comes with a nice bolt knob, a scope rail, and a threaded muzzle. The thing that bothers me the most between the two is the barrel length; the FV is...

I am looking to put a scope on my Savage Mark II FVT to gain experience shooting in the wind. I have read great reviews on the Bushnell 10x40 Elite 3200 Tactical scope. I looked on optics planet today and it looks like the Bushnell 10x40 Elite 3200 Tactical scope is no longer in production, and...

Is the mil dot used on the SWFA SS 10x42 the USMC mil-dot or the US Army mil-dot?

I am about to make up some handloads for my new 5R MilSpec .308 which I haven't fired yet, and I'd like to get some load suggestions to get started. I have new Remington brass and Sierra 175gr Match Kings, but I still have to buy powder and primers.

I had been reading about how I should lap the scope rings before mounting my scope. I called the rings manufacturer TPS who said that using a lapping bar on their rings voids their warranty since their rings are precision milled and require no lapping. Does this sound true? I am mounting my...

Waiting on my SS 10x42 back order, when are they coming in???

What is the best method to learn to use a mil dot reticle for target ranging effectively and efficiently? The only way to get better is to practice, practice, practice, and I'd like to know what will make it click and stick in my mind. Suggestions?

I have been a deer hunter for 25 years, and I started out with a Rem 700BDL in 270 Win. I have reloaded for my 270 almost as long. About 7 years ago I sold my Rem and bought a Winchester 70 in 270 WSM. I have shot deer out to about 200yds with no problem, although most of my shots have been...

I just purchased a Rem 700 5R .308, and it came with a older version of Remington's new X Mark Pro trigger. This one is not externally adjustable. The trigger pull is set at 5.5lbs, and I would like to have a pull around 2.5 to 3 lbs. I have read mixed reviews about the X Mark Pro, and I want to...
