I was talking to a guy at the range last week who was breaking in his new cooper .308 Win. He said the accuracy was amazing, but he was in the process of breaking it in. He said he ran 70 patches on the first round of his cleaning/break-in routine before they xcame through clean!! Nice gun...

Does anyone know what distance the factory iron sights are set to?

I had to mount the ruger supplied rail, and then mount the simmons scope (included) to it.

I have the exact scope on my ruger 10/22 synthetic/stainless. It was a gander mountain exclusive. Apparently ruger seems to think it is a good match (the 4x 22 mag). I have to say it works great and has never given me a problem. Oh, and mine is the adjustable objective model. Mac, I think...

Don't touch it.

22"dia = 11" radius V= pi*r^2*h pi*11^2*.5 = 190 in^3 = 0.11 ft^3 weight of steel is 492 pcf 492 * 0.11 = 54 lbs. I guess that is "portable", but I wouldn't want to carry it on my back!

2 x 1/4 plates = 1/2 " plate = HEAVY, no?

I picked up this canvas sling made by fox today at the army navy surplus store for 12 bucks: https://www.gijoesmilitarysurplus.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1230_1362&products_id=12293 The cool thing is that it looks "old school" with the olive drab canvas. But even cooler is...

I mentioned the firing pin issue in my original post. The ammo I am talking about is boxer primed

thanks alot guys. I will move forward worry-free

So Quo, what you mean is that steel bits from the casing may foul up the chamber? So, If I diligently clean the chamber, trigger assembly, bolt, etc. after shooting the Tula I am good to go? Thanks

I know this has been covered and covered. But I still don't have the info I need. Can anyone answer me this question(s) and tell me if my logic is flawed?: Will Tula .223 steel cased, BOXER primed, non-corrosive ammo hurt my mini? It is polymer coated. Here are the details from...

me too. annoying.

I got this red/green dot for under 50 bucks: http://www.opticsplanet.net/leapers-utg-5th-gen-4-ita-red-green-dot-sight-w-2-qd-mounts-lens-caps.html still waiting for my ggg rail, but the reviews are great. Seems to be that it holds zero on much heavier recoil weapons than mine (mini 14)...
