I'm finally getting around to mounting a scope on my flat top varmint AR. It looks like I'm going to need a cantilever mount, as standard rings bring the scope too far rearward. I've been looking around and haven't found exactly what I am looking for yet. Please help with some suggestions...

Commercial rotorcraft with IR, PP ASEL. I've been flying Apaches for the army for the past 6 years, now an Apache test pilot. I fly Apaches all week so I can afford to fly a Piper Cherokee on the weekends.

I have seen a guy shoot a 30 cal bullet he reloaded to shoot in his mini-thirty (7.62x39, .311 diameter), does that count? He must have put a monster crimp on it. It didn't go very far out of the barrel.

Probably see about half of those on gunbroker for $300 in a few days. Ridiculous. Who is paying those prices? Who needs varget that bad?

I thought so too, but then I googled ' savage 308 short chamber ' and got more results than I thought I should. I called my brother, who also has a savage FCP-K, but loads 178 AMAXs, and he loads them to 2.775" because of his short throat. It will accept factory loads. I've shot about 200 FGMM...

Elfster- I get it dude. I'm sure you are itching to spread your vast reloading wisdom, but maybe next time take a second to read what I'm writing and respond to it. There are people out there that measure by COAL. According to you, none of them know what they are doing. SMKs vary by about .005...

Yeah it certainly surprised me at how short it is. Shoots right at 1 MOA at 100 with the SW Ammo 175 SMKs. I did a little research and other savage shooters have noted short throats as well. I'm trying a .010 jump first. 175 SMKs seem to like a little jump. I got up to 44.5 of IMR 4064 with just...

I think the direction of this thread is moving way from my original intent. My COAL to the lands with 175 SMKs is 2.780 - 2.785, that is fact. When I chamber the SW ammo which is at 2.81, there are 6 land marks right at .025 long, confirming my COAL. I am loading some cartridges at 2.770 to...

I smoked some bullets to see what was going on. They are definitely reaching the lands. Also smoked some of the SW ammo rounds and they are indeed being jammed. I'm pretty confident my COAL to the lands with the 175 SMKs is around 2.785, obviously varying a little (.005) with the difference in...

I just got a fresh box of 500 175 SMKs to load for my Savage FCP-K 308 and am having trouble with a starting COAL. I used the method of taking a piece of fired brass, partially re-sized so the bullet fit snugly but could be moved, loaded it and closed the bolt, then removed carefully. I have...

I have a SWFA SS 16x Mil/Mil I bought a few months ago and have finally got to take a look at and shoot. When I was mounting it, I put a bubble level on the elevation turret to make sure the scope was level. However when I looked through the scope, the reticle was canted probably 5 degrees or...

As I was mounting my EGW 20MOA base on my new Savage 10FCP-K .308 I noticed the forward most torx screw was giving a lot of resistance when I first tried to thread it. I tried to be careful not to cross thread it but I gave it a few turns before I pulled it out and noticed I cross threaded it...

Re: Budget Mil/Mil Scope Moadrifter - I meant no disrespect citing only the first part. That was the part I was disagreeing with, the rest I completely agree with. It appears that I will have to break the mold here and try out a Primary Arms scope for myself. Everyone I have talked to that...

Re: Budget Mil/Mil Scope Schweinhund - Thanks for the link. I'll be checking that one out. I wonder if it is a earlier edition as the turrets are different than the ones currently for sale. http://www.samplelist.com/-P57667.aspx...

Re: Budget Mil/Mil Scope Jesse- I appreciate the recommendation. That is one of those Kaspa made scopes with the Weaver name on it. It is MOA/Mil as well. The reviews seem to be better on the Primary Arms scope, as well as the additional magnification and $50 price difference (non-buyers...

Re: Budget Mil/Mil Scope I figured the Bushnell 3200 would come up. Since I will be putting it on a 22LR which will mostly shoot at 50 yards, the fixed 100 yard parallax just won't do. Also, the $250 price tag is a little high, I would just go up to an SWFA for an extra $50 if I was willing...

I'm looking for a scope to put on a 22LR I am building for my wife and would like to get some insight on what is available. I know it is not a lot for a scope, but $200 is my max here. This is the scope I am looking to get, but I don't like that it is MOA/Mil. I would appreciate any other...

I have been looking to buy a Savage 10 FCP-K in .308 in the next month or so (upon my return from this deployment) and have been searching around the internet for a few months now. Within the past week or so it seems everyone has sold out. Two weeks ago I could have bought one from multiple...
