    What you mean is centered/plumb over your bore, not leveled.

    Gunsmithing The ULTIMATE Easyout

    I've had pretty good like removing broken tap stubs with an automatic center punch. You can use the small Starrett model to punch the center of the stuck tap and it will usually break it apart enough to get the pieces out with a pick. I've used this method for years around the shop. Just be sure...

    Rifle Scopes Why Vortex will continue to sell scopes

    I've bought two sets of there binos. Great optics for the price. I did have a complaint with the feel of the focuse knob on one set. One call and they sent me a replacement so I could make a hunt before I even sent the problem set back. I met a bunch of the guys at the NRA Convention in St...

    Hunting & Fishing Are illuminated reticles legal in your state for hunting?

    I'm pretty sure they mean lasers/designators and night vision goggles/scopes. Most states have these restrictions.

    My DIY reactive target

    ...but you might spend just as much money on rod as you would on a larger plate.

    My DIY reactive target

    Just some advice...If you want the welds to hold up to a lot of impacts you can bevel/chamfer the edges that you plan to butt weld on both sides. If you fill the bevels with a nice big welded fillet they will essentially become one piece.

    Welcome. I'm in McKinney but grew up in Denton. Texas proud but getting tired of the ridiculous rising cost of hunting leases. I shoot at my lease and a range NE of here.

    Gunsmithing Cerakote - remove barrel or not

    That's a great idea! You could even slide a barrel plug down the wire too. Thanks for sharing.

    Bolt hard to close

    I shoot the same brass (SAMMI spec) but my Cooper is also a SAMMI spec chamber so I've never had an issue. Savages are good guns. I would think the chamber would be spot on. Maybe check tha the case over all length is not too long and your jamming the bullets into the lands of the rifling.

    Bolt hard to close

    FYI, there are 2 ( prob more) different 280 AI chambers. One being SAAMI (spec By Nosler) and the original Ackley. The SAMMI shoulder is approx .0143 shorter than the original and can cause headspace issues. Fire formed brass from the original used in a SAMMI chamber will make it hard to close...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone running more than scope on the same rifle?

    I've got a LWRC M6 but I'm sticking with the iron sights on that one. I don't hunt with it. I find the ARs to be cumbersome in hunting situations. I like a slim receiver that I can get my hands around.

    Rifle Scopes Anyone running more than scope on the same rifle?

    Most of my hunting rifles run Talley detachable steels with the exception of one and it has a Murphy Precision 1913 rail and 34mm rings. I'm an aircraft tech so I use a torque wrench on everything. I was just wondering if anyone else had a setup I haven't seen or particularly bad experience with...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone running more than scope on the same rifle?

    Anyone running more than scope on the same rifle? I was considering it for one of mine. I like the idea of having a light and lower mag scope for hunting and something with more mag for target and varmints. If so what type of QD rings/mounts are you running?
