Trying to decide between the two. Want maximum usable magnification. Have heard varying opinions on XRS at 30. Wondering if the ERS is similarly compromised at its max such that I could use the XRS to beyond 21x and get a better image. Worried about how visible the reticle subtensions will...

The Leica is light and bright. Only downside for me were the limits on available reticles. I'm waiting for them to expand their line, but not too likely to happen anytime soon ;(

Re: Thanks Randy (Hateca)! 260 Rem Barrel indicates 260 Rem Match. Does that mean the chamber is set up for a specific bullet type or is it a tight chamber? Just wondering since you mentioned this rifle was built with the intent of reloading. Thanks.

Re: 260 lapua neck sizer bushing recommendations Thanks for all the posts. More are welcome to see how consistent they are. I may use good old RP later, but right now since lapua brass is on the way I will gladly wait for your info shep77, or anyone else using lapua. I'm assuming lapua is a...

I've ordered some 260 lapua brass and am looking for Redding neck sizer bushing recommendations. Thanks. Rich

Re: Bushnell elev. knob adjustment post Thanks BobD. But when I replaced my turret cap the zero didn't line up with the vertical line, it was slightly to one side. It lined up perfectly before I removed it to set my 200 yd zero. This is what I remember happening to someone else and there...

Looking for the post that described how to get the elevation knob 'zero' to line back up with the hash mark below it after the knob was removed. I tried several searches and couldn't come up with it. I remember the original poster contacted Bushnell and got directions from them and this fixed...

Re: bolt firing pin cocking tuning? Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm not 100 percent certain it was the spring, but that was my guess. I will definitely try the grease instead of oil, after I figure out where I can get some polishing compound and a buffing wheel of some sort. I assume I...

I recently "upgraded" my Rem 700 bolt to a heavy firing pin spring. After several cycles of cocking, opening of the bolt became very difficult. Finally it wouldn't move and I had to use a soft hammer to get the bolt to cycle open. I finally figured out that the surface of the bolt that the...

Re: pinning a scope rail I don't have the skills or equipment (that's in part why I didn't really know). I could see how if you screwed in a rail it would be easy to cut a hole through the rail and into the receiver top. I wouldn't plan on changing it, but was just wondering if for some...

Is it easy to add pins to a scope rail? Once the pins are put in, is it difficult to cut another rail to fit those pins? Thanks. Rich

Re: Wish they would make a Remington 5R in .260 Wasn't the original 5r produced because a distributor asked Remington for it? I don't think it was listed in any Remington catalogue at the time. So, I assume if some big distributor did the same for another caliber, the 260 and others are a...

Re: hs precision swivel stud screws Thanks C. I will try and remember to do that. I'll need about 6. Rich

The wood screw type of swivel stud pulled out of my HS Precision stock. Beneath the hole into the fiberglass they are threaded for machine screws into the aluminum bedding block, however, mine are threaded for 10-24 screws. I called HS and they said their older stocks were like this and now...

Re: Horus scope glass Thanks Graham. That's all I needed.

Some people love the Horus reticles, but I don't recall seeing many actually using one of their scopes. I tried a search and didn't find any recent information on comparing Horus scopes to other glass. If it's been done, could you help with a link? If not, any opinions on how they compare to...

Re: Basics on changing to detachable magazines Will the Hooper accomodate a WSM cartridge?

I've only recently noticed people getting their scope rails pinned. Why not bigger screws? Anyone have any pics? If you remove the rail does the pin stay in the rail or in the receiver? Could I do this on a cheap drill press? Thanks.

Re: Remington bolt truing questions Thanks for the great explanation. I feel better now! Rich

I'm obviously not a gunsmith but had some work done recently and was trying to understand a few things. When truing a Remington 700 bolt, is only the bolt face squared up or does the end of the bolt get any truing as well? I just had my bolt and action trued and was wondering about this when...
