    Bear Cape Disaster - How to Handle?

    Sorry this happened OP. Lesson learned. I’m convinced that if a hunter goes on a guided hunt and cares greatly about the quality and condition of his trophy he better be prepared to care for it himself. Same thing with score. If you care about the numbers, better learn to field judge...

    BACO Winchester Model 70 quality control

    Just curious, why do you want to get close to the lands? What you are describing is quite typical with factory barrels. Have you even taken the BA out of the stock to look at the bedding? Is the barrel floated?

    New Tikka T3X .270 Bolt Noise

    It’s not a safety or function issue. I’d be willing to bet there is rough machining chatter in the bolt recesses.

    New Tikka T3X .270 Bolt Noise

    OK, that would indicate it’s more likely an issue with the lugs rather than the cocking mechanism. The male lugs on the bolt do look smooth in your pics. Do you see any rub/galling marks if you look closely? I would be interested to see what the female recesses look like. There must be a burr...

    New Tikka T3X .270 Bolt Noise

    Is it doing it on bolt lift or bolt close? Or both?

    Maven RS1.2 2.5-15x44 FFP with SHR-W MOA reticle Field Tested and Reviewed

    Despite what some of the Rambo’s here want you to believe, either one works just fine. Yes, if starting from scratch mils is probably a better system given its base 10 function, but both are simply increments of measure and do the same thing ultimately. With this particular scope, Mils is a...

    New Tikka T3X .270 Bolt Noise

    Could it be coming from the firing pin or spring inside the bolt? Or the cocking piece? Take the bolt apart.

    If I have missed this Point me to the way.. Maven vs Nightforce

    To me it boils down to reticle preference and visibility. The reticle on the Maven is more visible, especially if you compare both at 4x. That said, personally I prefer the cross center and illumination of the NF over the floating dot and lit pin prick of the Maven, that’s subjective tho. The...

    Low light comparison of 17 scopes

    If you were a deep woods hunter wouldn’t you just buy an SFP scope? Or stick with a fixed power?

    For the Vehicle Mechanics

    Agreed. Not worth just replacing a top end. Just be prepared for the auto tranny to go next if it hasn’t been rebuilt already. If you like the truck, spend the money to fix it right. If not, spend the minimum amount (used engine) to get it back up and running and sell it and go buy another...

    The Gun Every American Should Own

    Sold every AR I’ve ever owned. I tried. Don’t see the attraction. Doesn’t serve a purpose in my life. If I could only own one firearm for the rest of my life it would be an older Remington 870. With different barrels it could put all forms of protein on the table, and ward off interlopers.

    Wow! Was it determined that the scope was more than cosmetically damaged? Are they recalling those defective rings?
