questions

First of all, besides the Sako TRG, who makes a 60 degree short throw bolt/action? AI? Anyone else? Second: Between the action of the Sako and Accuracy International, is one considered better than the other? Why? Third: Between the action of the Sako and Accuracy International, which one is...

1. I have a ruger mark 2, .22 LR one inch by five point five inch bull barreled shooter... : ... should I have the front sight removed or pushed back and the barrel threaded ? do I need to change the slide stop to prohibit semi auto fire to deaden the sound more if I want it really quiet with...

Guys I am over my head and need advice. I copied some stuff from some different websites on the Magnus and Coriolis effect. I remember the back site on the trapdoors was made at an angle to compensate for part of this. I know that it is not going to be 100% but. We have started making scope...

1st, Are they doing one or not, or just a few now and then. 2nd, what is the mag overall length and whats the ejection port measure, other words whats my max overall length.

its between a sandstorm, 762 sd, and a cyclone. mainly used on a 308 bolt gun, but also on a 300 whisper ar, and other ar. now most people say the 762 sd because of the qd mounts for multiple weapons, but i can put adapters on the other guns and dont mind threadmount cans at all. so any...

For my first set I bought the RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Single Stage Kit, RCBS Reloading Accessory Kit, RCBS Trim Pro Power Case Trimmer, RCBS Trim Mate Prep Center, RCBS Tumbler. WOW, What a nice setup! I plan on weighing all my loading on a NON-digital scale. But I have some Questions: ~ Can...

I'm finally breaking down and getting a progressive press. I'm 90% set on a Dillon 550 or 650, but the 650 is at the top end of my budget. The two primary questions are 1) The 550 vs. 650 difference seems to be the way the shellplate indexes. Is the mechanically indexed plate really that...

Hello from Maine, I really enjoy reading this forum I have a Savage mark II (22lr) from Wal-Mart, the least expensive version with a synthetic stock and standard trigger (no accu-trigger). I enjoy shooting it and it's a real tack driver I just bought a "serious" scope for it (considering...

Ive heard time and time again that sako trg 22's as standard will not be competitive long range rifles after 600yds. Can someone shed some light on this? Have many people rebarrelled their TRG 22 for that extra couple hundred yards but get to keep the sako action they love? I know its far...

Has anyone or does anyone shoot a Rem 700 .300 wm or .338 with a shorter barrel? I have a .308 that has been cut down with a brake and it shoots great, just didn't know if the larger calibers shoot good with a shorter barrel. Seems like every one I have seen has barrels of at least 24-26"s...

I have a Savage 10fp .223 which has had around 100 rnds. through it and has been cleaned quite often between rounds in sort of a break in fashion. seems when I soak with Hoppees for a few minutes, the patches come out with still, a light blue tint on them. I have been using a Dewey rod with...

Does anyone know if I choose a pictanny rail option what size rings I would need for the Premier and also a USO in SN3 -17 with a 44 mm bell ? say with a badger, seekins, or uso rings ? This is for a AIAW 308 Thanks in advance

I just started reloading and have a couple of questions. I'm starting reloading for my Remington 700 5R .308. I 'm loading once fired brass using a rockchucker with RCBS competition dies. 1 - I loaded 20 rounds before I realized that the cases were longer than the max case length. They chamber...

It was just the break-in but I really enjoyed myself. I'm ready to get some more loaded up and give her a go. I really like the platform. I went through a few rifles before settling on this one, even a 5R. It would shoot the lights out but I need to be able to be my own armorer. I think...

In reading the posts it seems several of you have a great deal of knowledge., so I hope you can help me with my question. I have a 27" barrel that is .850 dia. at the muzzle and currently has a holland muzzle brake. At the present time it shoots .25 moa out to 300 yds (as long as I do my job)...

Badger is closed for the Holidays so i'm asking you all. They say the action will fit AICS stocks with Rem inlet. Is there some issues with that? Do I have to mill out the stock at all for it? I like the 700 but the freakin bolt knob is in the way of my BIG hand.

I have seen a number of great looking SBR AR-15 uppers for sale recently, both 10" and 14". My question is if I purchase a RRA marked pistol lower and transfer it as a pistol on a 4417 can I purchase a SBR upper and attach it to my pistol lower without any legal issues? I believe the SBR lower...

Trying to wrap my brain around the FFP/SFP differences. I'm looking the NF 3.5x15 FFP or SFP with Mil Dot reticle. Since in the SFP the Mil Dot are valid @ 15x, I assume that the FFP model would "Appear" the same @ 15x?

Hi Guys, As always, a big thank you for helping me further my education in precision shooting. Still being a newbie, I wanted to ask about what exactly is involved with "truing an action"? Does it mean working with the threads of the barrel to archive finer headspace? And, do new rifles...

OK, got a few for all of you... I have a 5R and a FN A1 SPR both in 308 and both are brand new. The 5R is said to be best at 175gr, and the SPR (also a 24" bbl) is said to be best at 168gr. Can anyone confirm this? I would like to be able to buy bulk ammo, but it sounds like they prefer...
