    Rifle Scopes Nikon owners- what could cause this problem???

    Sigh. My optics saga continues. I just got a new Monarch X 2.5-10x44. I really thought this would be the one. The clicks were very positive, bright optics, etc. Well, just took it out for the first time. It zeroed just fine @100, but when I did a box test, something odd came up- a perfect...

    the BO 20moa base I have for my 700SA LH has an extension that hangs about 1" out over the recoil lug and barrel.

    I was putting together a .308 dpms lower for a rifle I'm building and ran into a problem. The screw for the bolt catch mechanism which appeared to be a 1/16" allen head seemed to strip out (not the threads the head). I turned it all the way in and was NOT putting a lot of pressure on it and it...

    Advanced Marksmanship When the problem is trigger and not rifle.

    Zero'd my new USO/Horus today, then shot three rapid-fire dot drills of five shots in ten seconds. I find the 3/8 Dot targets are great for zero work - I thought I had to adjust one more tenth of right windage, but the dots told me I have trigger issues with my third and fourth shots in a string:

    Problem McMillan A5 Stock on Savage Rifle

    I took my rifle apart today because I thought the accuracy had diminished (but still pretty good). I noticed that the rear screw hole was cracked right down the middle of the rifle from the magazine well back to the trigger area and it’s all the way through. I guess I had over tightened the...

    Had a Pacnor barrel installed on my 280 AI. Trimmed all my brass to 2.525". 168 gr sierra hpbt seated .010 off the lands. At first I thought the necks spliting was due to work hardening, but then I noticed the ring around the neck. The neck also has a slight taper on the end starting at the...
