I'm going to put together a batch of 308 ammo that can be used in both my JP LRP-07 and M1A. Both shoot the Fed 168 GMM quite well, so I'd like to use the 42.8gr of 4064, Fed Brass, 168 SMK components suggested in Dan N's thread. My question is about substituting the CCI34 primer instead of...

I know it's not the best out there for longevity, but I'm trying to put together a supply of ammo for my JP that matches FGMM performance as closely as possible. The cases get lost and torn up by the extractor pretty quickly anyway, so most won't make it to loose primer status. I don't really...

I have a B&C Ultralight stock on my Browning A-bolt hunting rifle. I needed to make some modifications to it, filled some defects with Devcon steel putty and now need to refinish. If possible, I'd like to do something similar to the black with gray web finish that is on there now. The black...

I think I know the answer to this, but would like to call upon the experience of others to solve it definitively. I typically use a Stoney Point comparator to determine the max COAL (touching) for a particular bullet/rifle combination and then back off .020 for jump. This measurement will vary...

OK, I've read bunches of threads about triggers. It seems like everyone has their preferences. Perhaps if I tell you what I like, you can help me get close. This is an older 700 VSSF with the original factory trigger. It has been to the local gunsmith who adjusted the trigger. He felt that...

That's the dilemma I'm facing. I've had a Leupold 12-40x60 for about 20 years. It's the old style with standard (non-HD) glass. When I was at the range the other day, I couldn't see bullet holes any better with that than I could through my Nightforce 5.5-22. I know that there are more uses...

The thing looks neat for throwing in a backpack, but I'm trying to figure out where it fits in. I haven't had a chance to look through one. No doubt it's compact, but is the image quality any better than looking through a 5.5-22x50 riflescope? I'm talking about paper or steel targets, not...

Since getting my TRG-22, I rarely take my 700P to the range. I took them both today and shot side by side for comparison. Conditions weren't ideal and I only had factory ammo with me, but both shot pretty well. The Sako groups a little tighter, but not a lot. The difference is that I seem to...

I've reached the age where eyeglasses are a necessity, both for distant and near vision. That makes taking them on and off when switching from shooting to spotting to writing in the data book pretty cumbersome. What I'm looking for is a quality spotting scope with enough eye relief to see a...

I had to do some work on a B&C ultralight stock (Browning A-bolt). I need to paint the area where Devcon was added to the pistol grip. Any suggestions for matching the black/gray web? If it's beyond do it yourself, I'd appreciate recommendations for a pro to do the work. Thanks.

I'm looking at adding a 650 to my set up and would appreciate a couple of measurements to help with bench space/height. Measuring from the mounting surface (top of counter or top of strong mount): 1. Height to handle when all the way up. 2. Height of handle when all the way down. Thanks!

I know that a MilDot Master can give adjustment values in both MIL and MOA in the right window. I'm wondering if anyone has made a new scale for the left window that would work with MOA based reticles. Obviously, the spacing will be different. Anything out there on the market? Home made...

I've spent the last day reading different articles on this, but am getting conflicting answers. I'm going to have my Rem 700VSSF rebarreled in 22-250. The standard Remington barrels are 1:14, but I know they are intended for VERY light bullets at max velocity. My plan is to be in the range of...

I have a mid-90s vintage Remington 700 VSSF in 308. It's a decent rifle, but nothing special. On the plus side, it's got the old style trigger that has been tuned down nicely. The HS Precision stock isn't bad for a hunting stock. Basically, I don't shoot it much anymore because I have plenty...

I'm looking for advice on buying/building a precision .223 AR. (Max 500yds. I've got other rifles for longer distances) It will have a heavy contour barrel, but I'm debating length. I know that some velocity can be gained by going longer, but I'd really like to stay more compact. Will a 16"...

I have a VX-3 with a Duplex reticle that I am considering sending in for a reticle change. The Leupold option that is available for that model is similar to some of the Horus designs. I've never owned a scope with all the holdover/holdoff marks, so I'm a little concerned about how it affects...

I have a 15 year old Remington 700 VSSF (308). It has the HS Precision stock (black/gray web). The barrel and action are matte SS. I'm thinking about having the metal refinished to something more subtle. Obviously, quick and cheap is rattle can flat black. Going up the line Duracoat...

I've been considering the Leupold VX-R 1.25-4 scope for my KAC SR-15. It looks like one model variation comes with capped 1/4 MOA turrets and the Firedot circle reticle. The other has exposed 1/10 mil turrets and the Firedot SPR reticle. Besides that (and $125 difference) are there any other...

I'm looking for a soft case long enough and wide enough to fit my TRG42 with muzzle brake and NF scope. Probably need at least 52" long and 11-12 wide. I would mainly be using it to transport to and from the range, not really to "drag". I know there are several very nice cases out there in...

I have a Rem 700P in 300WM that I'm setting up for a precision hunting rig. My personal limit on live game is 500 yards, so I guess it doesn't qualify as true long range. I'd say the smallest targets might be pronghorn or a stray coyote, no prairie dogs or small varmints with this rifle. I...
