Zak, my experience in that regard is 25%, but within spitting distance of your 33% noted. Add my 4 to the mix, call it 1 in 4 had to go back. Leo.

I own the USO pictured above and have so for oh about 16 months now. Zak sold it to me shortly after writing that article - to buy another S&B. And another, and another ;) Just to provide some USO info where Zak's eval above left off. USO has made several improvements to the SN-3 line. I...

Forrest, the top civies at CP are shooting White Oak Precision/White Oak Armament uppers. The military teams vary. The AMU gets parts from the various mil spec contractors and the AMU smithies build all the rifles up from scratch. The USMCR team gets issued Marine armorer rifles, hand built...

Hold your water dude. I legged out 3/5/07, got some letters, but no numbered badge yet. Them folks is a might busy gettin' ready for a big shootin' match, bein' the 100th anniversary and all... Congrats on getting over the hump from DR# 1826. Now you gonna get busy on one of these too?

Your post says "he was killed by a gun". No he wasn't - he was killed by another person.

Zak, Jon got down on the line with some of the best Palma shooters in the country. He and I got centered up as neither of us had zeros for 1k on the rifles we brought (planned on short line practice but the range was under the control of the LR crowd), then we had a pit change. His next time...

So, USSR, are you saying the Savage short action can be used with the 6.5/284, mag feed, at the normal lengths people load the 6.5/284 with the 140 and 142 gr bullets? Is the quoted dimension with clearance long enough?

The technical term for the cause is "milking the trigger". This is a very common occurance with the M1 Garand. Basically a combination of the rifle recoil, how tightly you're holding the rifle or not, and how firmly you hold the trigger to the back upon firing versus floating the finger...

I have no attachment to his specific transaction - I do however take exception to a 3 post person flaming a maker like RRA for the reasons stated. Didn't check other lists, but suspect a similar post is out there elsewhere. Why someone cannot understand that additional costs and/or time are...

Dear Mr. Sour Grapes - please enroll in a "Reading Comprehension 001" class as part of your ongoing GED quest. Upon completion, re-read the same paragraph of mine you quoted. Here are the Cliff's Notes which may help - the item I called them about was not selectable in the order process. I...

I'd go for Leupold QRWs in the short term and hold out for TPS long term; the Mark IVs are a bit pricey for the quality. TPS had a huge batch that was lost due to a problem with their coating subcontractor a few months back that really hurt their supply.

Yes I own one and yes I have shot it and Yes I have watched others attempt to load it. If you examine the procedure to load it, not just where the port is, you'll see my point. The knurled nut you turn to release the tube is just below the muzzle, then the tube must be extended approx. 15...

Both are fine rifles for what they are. The M60 is an old standard; you can pick them up at pawn shops for about $50. The Remmys tend to bring about double that. That said, I prefer the 597 for what I consider a rather important reason - SAFETY. I am anti-tube fed loaded from the front...

A friend of mine trained Army snipers in Vietnam in the 60's. The M21 SWS was a quite effective system out to 700 yards per him. The ranging scopes in use at the time (ART I and II) greatly aided the average scout/sniper team on hits. That said, the bolt shooters picked up another 200 yards...

Many many complaints out there about IOR customer service. I won't touch one of their scopes, as nice as they are. Don't need the risk on a thousand bucks or so; much rather go with a Lupy or USO for the service on still fine optics. Not flaming you CD - yes they are nice; but this...

Fluted barrel - what Zak said plus possibly disturbing the uniformity of the bore by changing the stress on the outside of the bore by removing metal. If done prior to finish lapping, ala ordered from the custom barrel maker fluted, then you'll have a much better chance of having a good...

Yea Dave I didn't want to go there; just so many choices once you start down the "I wanna sniper rifle" road. My guess is the guy saw Jarhead and has a boner for the A1s they were using in the GWI era.

Lightsped - wander on over to gaprecision.com and check out their rifles. They make the snipersparadise.com m40a1 replicas, amongst other things. They also will do M24 replicas should you choose to go that route. All an M40a1 is is a M700 action with a mild workover, different recoil...

You can't reliably get 65 with stock screws is one issue; another is 65 is an awful lot of pressure, and testing by quite a few folks like you and I confirm that 50 is plenty. Besides if your torque wrench is not calibrated for that range it is easy to over-torque and break the screws or bottom...
