    Gunsmithing Bedding scope base

    like anything else, there are many ways to do it. i bed front and back at the same time. some prep work can let you know what you need. tighten the front of the base only and see if that raises the back of the action, repeat for the back screws. then you know if you need to only tighten one end...

    $6,000 and a favor, give me some recommendations on what to get.

    i'd go for something bigger than 338 lapua. since you already have a 300wm, i think something in .375, or .408 or .50 would be better

    Rifle Scopes Best scope rings?

    many good ring makers, seekins, tps, aadland etc rings are important, but i think what the rings attach to, and what scope gets put in them is more important than what brand the rings are

    Gunsmithing Need precise measurement ... engineers, techs help

    Re: Need precise measurement ... engineers, techs help as was mentioned: tighten the adjuster screws. i've seen $200+ calipers being off by .003" just because they weren't adjusted. that said, calipers are really only good for +/- .001" you need micrometers to be very precise

    Gunsmithing Need to pick you guy's brains?

    Re: Need to pick you guy's brains? i doubt threading the barrel and action will help. a higher quality barrel with good ammo will be your best bet to better groups. a good trigger and good shooter don't hurt either

    Gunsmithing What's the best way to shorten action screws?

    Re: What's the best way to shorten action screws? i normally use a grinder if there isn't too much to take off, or chuck it in the lathe if i need to remove more than .125". then just touch it up on the belt sander and its GTG!

    Rifle Scopes New rings

    Re: New rings i don't really like the concept of the arc m10 rings. just more pivot points for things to go wrong. the aadland rings are built like a brick shithouse though!

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 4-16 FFP vs 6-24 FFP

    Re: Vortex 4-16 FFP vs 6-24 FFP i'd go with the 4-16. unless you're going for a little more of a long range build. then again, plenty of people have shot well at long range with a fixed 10x

    Rifle Scopes Scope questions for 22LR

    Re: Scope questions for 22LR i really like 3-4x for the lowest power. i shoot things with my 22 from 10 yards on up. anything higher powered is kinda a pain.
