    WY BLM camping snakes

    Yes, it should go into that other thread. BTW, the old wive's tale called for a horsehair rope.

    Suppressor causing chamber condensation

    I've had dozens of shooters bring suppressed rifles to the range at all times of year without experiencing issues with their rifles. As others have said above, something else is going on and whatever the OP is experiencing isn't suppressor-induces condensation.

    Mag primers?

    If ES and SD increased, what is your metric for 'consistency on target'? Precision?

    Reviving a Remington 721

    Can't tell you about the pad, but the rail will be the same as a Remington 700 Long Action. EGW is a pretty decent rail and less costly than most. This link is for one with no slope (0 MOA): https://egwguns.com/remington-700-721-725-sauer-100-101-bergara-b14-long-action-picatinny-rail-0-moa...

    What Mistakes do Bowhunters Make When Going Rifle?

    I've found the same thing. Deer seldom show themselves where one can see well for long distances or in open hardwoods and a good archery stand is a good rifle stand for all the same reasons.

    bullet selection for mountain goat

    I don't know much about goat hunting, but was under the impression that it was desirable to anchor them on the spot to avoid letting them fall and get busted up and/or impossible to retrieve...

    Chamber length, trimming & carbon ring

    IMO, no matter where the case mouth ends up, that's where any carbon buildup will occur. Cutting the case mouth back just moves the deposit back. That said, I've been handloading for multiple cartridges since 1971 and the ONLY time I ever had issues with hard carbon in the throat was with a...

    Best practices for accurizing an AR

    Agree with the above posters about the barrel quality and bolt fit being the main things affecting AR family rifle precision. A good trigger does help the shooter be more consistent. One other thing would be to lap the upper receiver where it interfaces with the barrel extension. The front...

    .410 shot size for rabbits

    #4, 5 & 6 are most often used for rabbits, but many are killed by upland bird hunters using #7-1/2s. As you move up to larger shot sizes, pattern density suffers but penetration improves. For hunting for food, larger shot is usually better because it will be more likely to penetrate completely...

    Older 700 triggers

    I agree. An older Remington trigger can be cleaned up and polished and be very crisp. I believe that the quality of the break is more important than the weight. Many/most people strive for too light a trigger, thinking that it will counter bad habits, and give up good control. I've had Timneys...

    Custom bushings?

    Are you sure you need custom bushings? My gunsmith made a die for my BR rifle using the same reamer as the chamber and he set it up for standard Redding bushings. I can't imagine a reason to not do it this way. If not, can the die be modified to take a standard bushing? Sleeve standard...

    Lapping "High end" scope rings?

    My fault. It came in late because I am new and this is one of my first posts here at Rokslide. My post was delayed for moderation and thus did not immediately show up on the thread or in your alerts. Two parts to this... Where I used the term "deflection" above, it was in the context of the...

    Painful joints and feeling "old"

    Good post OP! I'm in my late 60s and have had both desk jobs and active jobs. I felt better by far when I was moving around the most. Worst is sitting at a desk all week, then engaging in something strenuous on the weekend.

    Lapping "High end" scope rings?

    Different shooters have varying requirements. Almost everything I worked on had been brought to a long range precision rifle class by competitors and tactical marksmen. The scopes typically stayed with the rifles. While your point about interchangeability is valid and well made...

    Lapping "High end" scope rings?

    As pointed out by other posters, the rings themselves, and degree of their precision, is not usually the reason to lap. The reason is the composite error of all mounting parts combined/added and their effect on ring axis alignment. Rings of lesser precision also benefit from lapping by having...

    Stockys stocks poor customer service

    I didn't buy anything from them, but was recently shopping for an HS Precision stock at Stocky's and considered buying through them due to substantial ($75) savings. All of the variations I'd consider looked like they were in stock until I started clicking on options like 'color' and as soon as...
