    How much misalignment between scope rings is acceptable?

    I’m installing some Talley lightweight scope mounts onto my new Winchester model 70 featherweight and I’m concerned with the amount of misalignment I’m seeing. When I place alignment bars in the rings and torque everything to spec, I’m seeing a vertical offset of about .008”. They have good...

    Lip at case mouth after resize on 6.5 Swede cases

    I'm reloading some once fired PPU brass, and I'm getting this small lip right at the mouth of the case. It's very small, but i'm worried it might crimp the bullet in the mouth when chambered. I'm using a Lee hand press and Lee pacesetter resizing die. You can't see it in the picture, but the...

    Ruger SR 762 lower compatibility?

    I'm in the process of selecting my first "battle rifle" to purchase. I like what the Ruger SR 762 brings to the table, and it has good reviews. My question is, will the SR 762 lower fit other manufacturers DI uppers? I think the SR 762 uses the SR25 pattern lower, but I don't know if the...

    Is the P226 Black Stainless a limited production variant?

    Hello all, I have always liked the idea of an all steel, all black P226, especially one with night sights and Hogue rubber grips, and Sig currently has such a gun in production; the P226 Black Stainless (E26R-9-SBSS). My question is, is this version likely to go out of production soon, or is...

    All steel, all black P226?

    I've only seen a few instances of such a SIG on the internet. How rare are all german, all steel, all black (I think ilaflon coated) P226's with no beavertail, and no rail? I think they were called P226 SL's. I think a rail would be nice but not necessary, and I don't see the need for a...

    CZ 550 vs FN Winchester SC Model 70

    Please answer this first. Objectively, who makes the better gun, FN/Winchester or CZ? Now that that is out of the way, I am casually considering a .308 bolt gun when the money tree buds out again. This would be a target and possibly hunting rifle. This doesn't have to be a .25MOA gun. I'd...

    Why are there different #'s of locking lugs?

    What are the pros and cons of lots of lugs vs fewer lugs? Why do AR's have 7 lugs? I think Rem 700's have 2 lugs, AK's have 3, and some Weatherby's have 9!!! It seems like there would be an ideal locking lug configuration. What's the deal?

    I want to change my WASR's finish.

    Well it doesn't really have a finish to begin with. Or does it? Anyways, I would really like to darken the wood on my WASR to look like handguards on the rifle pictured. I may (and by may, I mean I already have) have already applied one coat of linseed oil to one half of the buttstock before...

    How do ejectors work?

    I can't seem to visualize how force is applied to the cartridge case to eject it and how the parts inside the firearm work to accomplish this. I just want to know the basics of how the case is kicked out of the firearm. I understand that there are two main types of ejectors, fixed/standing...

    Buck Vantage Pro

    S30v with Bos heat treat and g10 handles for $45. Is there a better value than this knife if I require G10 handles and good blade steel? Almost seems to good to be true. Thoughts? Thanks, Andrew

    D2 folder

    I was wondering if there are any decent folders under $100 that use very wear resistant stainless steel such as D2. I already have a beefy fixed blade in 1095 and a multi tool in 154cm and would like a really sharp folding knife to add to my collection. I will sacrifice toughness for edge...

    Synthetic and walnut

    This may be a stupid question, but would it be possible to have a synthetic stock with some kind of walnut veneer or shell so you could get all weather performance with good looks. I want my next rifle to be a classy looking rifle for hunting/target shooting that can be impervious to water and...

    CZ 452 american or 453 varmint?

    Hi, i'm new here. I am going to get a CZ rifle tomorrow in .17 HMR. I can't decide on which gun to get, the 452 is $412, and the 453 is $535 at a local shop. The 453 varmint has obvious advantages over the 452 (the trigger is sweet, the bbl is nice, and the forestock is wider which is good...
