Nightforce direct mount rings
Re: Nightforce direct mount rings Yup. Been there, too. I have quite a collection of Redfield and Leupold two-piece bases on hunting rifles, which I stopped buying when I finally accepted that a one-piece was more rigid. And yes, your best friend when it comes to optics mounting is a good...- Homers Brother

Nightforce direct mount rings
Re: Nightforce direct mount rings I've been using the Nightforce Direct Mount (SA-Medium) on a Remington 700 LTR .308 1:10 for just over two years now. Likes: One piece, no extra nuts or screws to come loose. Precisely machined, no lapping involved (in fact, the manufacturer discourages...- Homers Brother

Is .308 outclassed as a tactical match caliber?
Re: Is .308 outclassed as a tactical match caliber? This is actually kind of funny. Visit a hunting forum and extol the virtues of the .243 there and they'll call your mother bad names. Though I hunt almost exclusively with a .243 anymore, my long-range gun is a .308. I'd echo here the...- Homers Brother

Found parts of gun in dirt!
Re: Found parts of gun in dirt! Well, that brings back some memories. I had one as a kid. IIRC, there was a gold-painted, wood "cartridge" in the bolt head that would appear to be "chambered" as the bolt was closed. My rifle was continually losing the screw that kept the bolt in the...- Homers Brother

Krestrel 4500 NV eating batteries?
Re: Krestrel 4500 NV eating batteries? And that "problem lurking" is exactly what? That your battery is about to die? Ever notice how many other electronic devices reliant on batteries will give you the high sign when you turn them on, but as soon as you start using them, crash the battery...- Homers Brother

Krestrel 4500 NV eating batteries?
Re: Krestrel 4500 NV eating batteries? PCI: CR123s, check. AAs, check. AAAs, check. A very simple solution if you're going to use equipment dependent upon batteries. Recalibrating the compass? What, push some buttons and give it three spins? Something else to do in the assembly area...- Homers Brother

Remington accused of 700 series dangerous flaws
Re: Remington accused of 700 series dangerous flaws I generally don't participate in many discussions, but this is one that I've had some personal experience with - as owner of a number of M700s, and as one who's had some "odd" experiences with one of them. One of those odd experiences...- Homers Brother

hornady lnl classic kit. good starter?
Re: hornady lnl classic kit. good starter? Comparatively, yes. The RCBS does lack the powder trickler, which I would recommend. I don't load .50 BMG, but I suspect that neither of these presses have enough stroke to cycle such a long case. I know that RCBS and Dillon both offer standalone...- Homers Brother

hornady lnl classic kit. good starter?
Re: hornady lnl classic kit. good starter? While Dillon makes great stuff, it's not for everyone. If you're shooting a particularly high volume of one or two calibers, the RL550B or XL650 are both worth looking into, though both do take up lots of bench space, particularly if you're using...- Homers Brother

Re: hornady lnl classic kit. good starter? I don't use a Hornady press or dies, but their other equipment has been pretty reliable. My 30-year-old Rockchucker is still hard to beat, and Cabela's often runs sales on the RCBS kits as well as the Hornady kits. On the subject of scales, you get...- Homers Brother
