    Chamber dimensions to allow not cleaning

    I don't get to shoot nearly as much as I'd like or as much as many here. I have over 500 rounds on a Tikka. I quit cleaning between 100 and 200 rounds. Nothing really changed. Arguably, groups got better, but that is probably me shooting better. I don't think oil in an automobile is even a...

    How Much Torque?

    You did read my qualifying statement right? 😉 Torque values can be a useful tool.

    How Much Torque?

    I've done what form recommended..... didn't use a torque wrench, degreased, tightened till it felt like it was about to snap..... seems to work. I understand not everyone has turned enough wrenches to have that feel and torque wrenches/values help here.

    Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50mm Q&A

    I mean I could do that. 😉 I do already believe in the differences. I really don't get to shoot near enough, but the setup you turned me on to has made such a difference in repeatability that I feel I can progress. My other setups really were so frustrating because of the lack of repeatability.

    Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50mm Q&A

    I'm just waiting for someone to take Form up on his offer. It's a pretty good one. Plus, everyone will probably learn something. Maybe I should just buy a scope, do a little trash talk, and take him up on his offer? Probably would be fun.

    Leupold Drop Tests

    But maybe that shouldn't be the case. We use tubes to build roll cages, structural members, etc. A tube is actually pretty strong for its weight. Maybe scope tubes that are easily distorted, should be a little more wall thickness so this isn't a problem.

    Leupold Drop Tests

    Maybe someone knows better than me, but let's step back and think about this for a second. Scope ring screws are kinda small and frankly, easy to strip. If a scope is going to distort and fail from that clamping force, maybe it won't last if it gets bumped either. Sure, the more screws, the...

    Leupold Vs. Swarovski.....Yeah, another one.

    I was going to get a vx5 a few years ago. I was researching and wound up here. I don't have money to burn, or the time to screw around. I eventually realized the most important thing for a scope to do is work. I ended up with the Formidilosus special (Tikka, SWFA 6X MIL QUAD, Sportsmatch...

    bubble level + reticle/rifle cant

    A bubble level is a mechanical device that runs on gravity.... for our purposes, gravity doesn't change. The Three Mile Island accident happened partly because operators/engineers didn't want to trust their instrumentation. A bubble level is pretty reliable instrumentation.... especially if it...

    Cleaning barrel

    I stopped cleaning my barrel, a few hundred rounds ago. The gun shoots 10 rounds under an inch at 100 yards....

    6.5 creed vs 30-06

    "Potential" There are a couple of problems with using energy as a means of determining how well a bullet will kill. 1. Doesn't account for bullet construction 2. The equation places a premium on velocity over mass as velocity is squared Arrows kill well, big slow bullets kill well, hard ball...

    6.5 Creedmoor on Elk?

    And bullet choice. Form's picture posts on the effectiveness of 6.5CM and .223 are solid evidence. Most people forget the details though.... using the right bullet matters.

    Shooting 600 yards, have i got this right?

    Can you tell me what the name of the folks who put this out is? Want to make sure I'm looking at the right videos.

    Unable to develop load for rifle

    Think about the last part.... how is a bullet that is off target at 100 yards going to correct and start closing on target at 1000 yards? My guess is that they don't shoot enough to really gauge what a group really is at one distance. Then shoot a few at a longer range..... a few at the longer...

    Texas school shooting

    I've about come to the conclusion that our elected officials are honestly just too dumb or lazy to do the work we elect them for.... including treating the problem that creates a tragedy like this. They oversimplify and go for the easy visual that they are "trying" to do something about it...

    Texas school shooting

    Not everyone is equipped to be a sheepdog. You should probably think about that a little. Kinda makes me wonder about you.
