    Remington 700 PCR questions

    I have a PCR, in 6.5 CM and it will shoot around 1/2 MOA out to 1000 yards. I didn't need it. but when I tried someone else's I got one. The trigger is just like the M24 trigger, in that the external adjustment screw will only add weight to the pull. The internal adjustment screw is where you...

    How much magnification for 1000 yds?

    If you are going to be using your rifle/scope setup for hunting, you do not want a FFP. With your power down to the minimum setting, how most carry a hunting rifle, you can hardly see the crosshairs. A long time ago all of the variables were like that and only varmint hunters used them. With a...

    How do I eliminate velocity fluctuations?

    have you tried chamfering the inside of your flash holes? Most all regular brass that has stamped flash holes have a big burr on them and it is usually a lot bigger on one side than the other, so the flash does not come out even and the chamfer will make it come out even all of the way around.

    What's your favorite WW2 and older bolt rifle and why?

    Kraig, the Marine rifle doesn't win more because it is more accurate than the A4, it wins because of the 8 power scope compared to the 2.5 power scope of the A4. I have built about 4 A4's, because you can use any sporterized 03 or A3 as a base and not have to ruin a good 03 of any variation, and...

    175smk + h4350 + m1903

    I have a high number 03 Springfield that was customized, that I got in 69 and re-barreled a couple of years ago, and a 03-A3 that I made into an 03-A4, with a Rem 2 groove barrel, and I have used 54 grains of 4350 with either 180 gr SRA spritzer boat tails, or 175 gr SMK. I have used both H4350...

    308 & 3006

    The US military ball rounds - 150 gr for .06 and 147 gr for 7.62 - are ballistic almost the same, with the 147 7.62 being a little better at LR because of the boat tail bullet. That is what the military was after, in a shorter round. When we switched from the M1 to the M14, the rear sight was...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper HS-T

    The HS-LR has .5 MOA elevation clicks, but still 75 MOA total elevation as the HS-T. I have a 4x16x44 HS-T MOA on order locally, and it is supposed be here after the first of the year. I have a Viper HS 30mm 4x16x44, that I put on an .06 and I like it a lot, so ordered the HS-T for something else.

    Rifle Scopes Quick and Easy Scope Reticle Tracking Method....?? Opinions or Thoughts from Members

    I have found that very few scopes click adjustments are exact. What I want is a scope that repeats, the same click adjustments for whatever distance I am shooting at, especially for further distance I am shooting. So I have sight settings for different distances, and when I put the number of...

    Rifle Scopes Looking for info on this leupold scope

    Where are you in Alaska. Around Anchorage there are some Tactical shooters who hang out at Birchwood, and around Fairbanks there is a group somewhere near Fox. Some of them might be interested in a rig like that, but not many Mid or Long Range shooters are using a .300 Win Mag any more. I am...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold, Why No Love?

    I shoot High Master, at Mid-Range Prone (300, 500 and 600 yards) and Long Range Prone (800, 900 and 1000 yards), and the people that I shoot with used to give me the BS of needing Night Force scopes and Berger bullets, instead of Leupold scopes and Sierra bullets, but they quit doing that a long...

    Rifle Scopes Mount a scope upside down???

    I have a friend who is left handed and he turns his scope 90 degrees and uses the elevation knob for windage and the windage for elevation. We are High Power shooters and regularly shoot to 600 yards, and once in awhile to 1000 yards. He has tall turrets and seems to do alright with his setup...

    Rifle Scopes What Leupold turrets are these?

    Yes, it is just the knob. Loosen the set screws on the side of the knob and it will pull straight up and off. The Leupold web site has a sales e-mail that might be easier. Their Custom shop used to be able to get things, but it seems to be down now, but there is a notice about a new Custom shop...

    Rifle Scopes What Leupold turrets are these?

    The elevation knob is a custom, set for a 100 yard zero, using a 168 VLD .308 bullet, and the windage knob is the standard M1 1/4 min click knob. The numbers on the elevation knob are for distances, with the upper numbers for the second time around. The problem with them is that you need to know...

    left eye doninant question

    My older daughter is right handed, left eye dominant, and has a hard time focusing her right eye. I set up her rifle with Holder see thru mounts and took a little off the stock, and she puts the rifle up to fire right handed, but is looking thru the scope with her left eye. Been doing that for...

    Alpha Mags

    I have 3 Alpha type 1 mag's and they work good. When I first got them they wouldn't feed, and the problem turned out to be the bedding in the stock. I got a HS Precision tactical stock that had been bedded to a DBM, without a name on it, for my 40X across the course rifle, in .308. The stock fit...

    F T/R Competition Fclass at Camp Perry

    If you shoot the Mid-Range, they have entry fees for the first 2 days and the last 2 days, besides the 5 day package. It is half the cost for either of them, compared to the 5 day. I am going for my first time.

    F T/R Competition Alaska Rifle Club 2013 Mid-Range Matches

    We had a good match on 6/22-23. We had 7 sling shooters, 6 F-Open and 1 F-TR. The F-Class was won with a 2 day score of 1178-39X and the Prone (sling) was won with a 2 day score of 1196-74X. Everyone had a good time. Ft Rich just notified us that they will support Saturdays, so the 7/13 and 8/31...

    F T/R Competition NRA MidRange Camp Perry

    I am going to Perry this year, my first time, and I just got signed up. If you shoot an out of competition team, the scores do not count for the team match, but your individual score counts for the Agg. I am going down from Alaska, and besides the cost, haven't found a partner yet. By the way, I...
