Wanting to build a scope testing rig that I can use to test the tracking on the various scopes I own, and future purchases. Have seen some of the posts (some here) showing wooden clamp-down styles. Have also seen some pic rail tripod adapters. Two main questions: considering I would want the...

Went out today to test a few loads, and try some newly annealed brass. Savage 12 in 223, 26" heavy varmint barrel, laminate stock, bedded. 80.9 degrees F, 13.9% humidity, dew point 19.1, Baro 26.32, 3499ft elev, 5738ft DA My Savage's max overall lenth is 2.295" to fit the magazine, and...

Have seen them mentioned on several forums. Finally got one. If you've been on the fence about it, buy one. That and about $4 in bolts and chains, and its the best shooting money I've spent in a long time.

After trying to full length size some 308 with insufficient case lube, and hearing the wood on my bench crack, I decided that I wanted to reinforce the mounting for my presses. Not so I could continue to overwork the presses with not enough lube, but so that, in the future, any issues with...

Been reading 24 hours since I started learning about bedding a couple years ago. Read something this week that says 24 hours to separate parts, 7 days to cure until the gun should be shot. This is the only time I've ever read this, but its enough to give me pause to come and ask here. Thanks.

I see an equal mix of guys who use electrical tape/inner tube to hold the action in place, and guys who coat action screws with release agent and apply some (or factory spec'd) torque. Which do you prefer and why?

OK guys, a little history. This is a Savage 12 in a BVSS stock, bedded with PC7 from the recoil lug to the rear action screw (rear tang not bedded). Heavy factory barrel, YHM Phantom can on the end. I did OCW a few months back and got some decent nodes to test, tried testing those nodes a few...

I hope this is not supposed to go in the Equipment forum, if it is, sorry. I would like to put two bipods on LaRue LT130 mounts, and share them between my AR-style (railed) rifles and my standard stock bolts. I figured I'd just buy some Picatinny rail sections and fasten them to the bottoms of...

I had my heart set on a Mark 6 with the same elevation turret at the DAGR setup, but according to Leupold Tactical sales, despite what it says on their website, there are currently no plans to offer this turret outside of .gov sales. If anyone has any information contrary to this, please let me...

I've seen some youtube videos of guys shooting competitions with cat tails on their scopes... and they literally "slam" the cat tail with the heel of their hand to jump from low power to high power in an instant. Presumably using the scope's adjustment ring's stop as, well, a stop. I would...

Hi gang. I have a Savage 12 that came with a tupperware stock. A few years ago I upgraded to the wooden "BVSS" style stock, and bedded the action. At the time, the existing (old tupperware) action screws didn't fit, so I got some new ones from the hardware store (longer length). I shot...

This isn't exactly a "sniper" question but I figured enough expertise reads this forum that I might get some good info here. I have a Ruger 77/22 in 22 Hornet, and the length of pull is a little short for me. Its the standard wooden laminate stock if it matters. I'm looking at Pach's...

Hello all. I would like to put an ACI and a level on my USO SN3 equipped Rem 700. I like the US Tac Supply ACI and am favoring the Accuracy 1st level, however I was looking at scope tube mounts for both, and am concerned about one device obscuring the view of the other when I am behind the...

223 Bullets - 75gr JHP-BT Bullets My Hornady's are out of stock everywhere. Anyone ever used these for precision shooting?

I shot my first (four) OCW strings today, and I have a ton of data to pour through. I am a little concerned about my ability to evaluate each group correctly, as many of them are so close to the same POI, I can't decide which average load should be my optimum. So if you with some experience...

OK. So I've just loaded with H335 and Varget, both for the first time. 75gr AMAX seated to 2.26" as per the reloading manual, but seems a little "deep" compared to other ammo, could just be the contour of the bullet, but I'm already worried about pressure. Varget started crunching at about...

Looking to have my math double checked, and a question about max loads. I am looking at H335 under a 75gr AMAX for my 1:9 Savage .223, to see if it likes heavy bullets. Will also try the same charges with a 75gr BTHP (both Hornady). My manuals list 25.1 as the max load. Taking 10% of...

I took my hulking IOR 3-18x50 off my Rem 700 to put it on another rifle, and realized how light the rifle (LTR) really is. Got me thinking of replacing the IOR on it with a lightweight scope. Was looking at the Leupold Mark 6 at 23.6oz. What are some other lightweight scopes in the same...

Hi guys. I have a question about developing ballistics charts. I've been doing some calculations for the past few days based on conditions in my AOR. I may find myself at 2500ft elevation all the way through 6000ft. Depending on the season, it may be 115 degrees F outside, or 5 degrees F...
