Hi all. I have a Nitrex TR1 (Weaver Grand Slam) on a 10/22 Target. The best I can get out of it is about 20 MOA to the right. Assuming an 80 MOA range of adjustment I am wanting to move poi about 60 MOA left in order to get to the center adjustment range. I guess I can shim the rear or the scope...

Hi all. I have one of those Japanese made by Weaver 3*9*42 scopes that were available a few years ago at Natchez. Apparently it was a line that did not succeed but they are from what I can tell are decent quality scopes especially for the money. I ran into an issue today where it would not...

Hi all. After shooting a Silver Pigeon last week I want a new O/U and understand the argument of paying for a better one. I have a Browning BPS that is the only pump gun besides my dad's old Sears 21 that fits me properly. I have heard it said go to a match and try some peoples' out. I have...

Hi all. With Greek surplus from the CMP I am getting light strikes every 20 rounds or so. I can re chamber the round and it will fire. Is this indicative of this ammo or an issue with my Garand. Both are new to me and the Greek is all I have fired in it so far. Head stamp is HXP 76. Let me add...

Hi all. In my travels today I stumbled on a range, rented a Silver Pigeon and made a sad first time attempt at Sporting Clays on a whim. As humbling as it was it got my blood flowing for more. So here is my thought: Attend a Skeet match tomorrow with my BPS. I have very low expectations and...

I want to build this and am having a hard time finding one. Best bang for the buck? Would also consider a complete rifle. Will be used primarily for out to 600. Maybe more one day. Doesn't have to be upper echelon GI Joe stuff, but a solid value driven platform. Thanks.

Hi all. I am looking for one and am one of those you get what you pay for guys, but it is usually a budget stretch for me to get better stuff. I am looking at spotting scopes and want to shy from the cheap stuff, but no way can I go high end. I am thinking this and looks like a good price. Will...

Thoughts? CDNN has them on sale for $900.

Hi all. I am going to upgrade my father's 700 BDL in .30/06. I don't like how matte looks on it so I want a blued one. Maybe I could find a deal on a used one? What old blued scopes are worth looking for? Likely a 3x9x40 ish for a hunting rifle. I am looking for Leopld or Weaver quality and...

Hi all. I am getting ready to upgrade the scope on my Dad's 1981 BDL. It currently has a Bushnell Banner on it with these rings. They have 4 allen bolts on each ring holding the scope. Are they generally regarded as good or should I upgrade them as well? If so that are some good rings for a...

Hi all. How do I know if my used 75B has had a trigger job? To me it feels very smooth, light in DA and crisp. I have no complaints, but wonder if it could be made even better. Thanks.

Hi all. I just got a Lyman 1500 Pocket scale to verify loads with and the manual says not to mount it on the same bench as the press. Apparently it is sensitive enough that the vibrations could throw off the zero. Is this meant while they are running or at all times? I am hoping if it is off it...

Hi. I am getting ready to start loading .223 with my Lee Turret press. I know how to look up loads, but I am wondering where I should start for plinking rounds and powder that will work well in this press. I will be loading just for plinking at this time in my 1:9 twist AR. Thanks.

Hi all. I have been driving myself crazy looking for a .223 bolt. My requirements are at least a 1:9 twist or faster and a 10 round detachable magazine. This has left me with the choices I think from Tikka CTR, the Mossberg MVP and Ruger Scout M77. None of which I am likely to find on the used...

Hi all. I finally took out my new to me 1942 SA CMP Service Grade Garand in .30/06 to the range. I had some issues putting her together correctly after the detail strip, but eventually got it worked out. I only had time to put a few clips through her. Overall thrilled to be shooting this fine...

Hi all. I have started reloading and have a Lee Turret press at home. So far I am only loading 9mm for IDPA etc. I want to get into .223 and .30/06 for my Garand. My range is about 45 minutes away and I would love to be able to experiment and tweak loads down there. Is it a reasonable...

Hi all. I finally did a detail strip and lube on my Service Grade from the CMP. Now the bolt wont lock back. It doesn't seem to travel all the way and doesn't seem to clear the follower. When pulled back it is 1.268" from the bolt to the rear of the receiver. I think I have it put together...

I am lubing my Garand for the first time. Two questions one should I put a light coat of oil on all the interior Springs to the bolt Etc? 2. Which direction does the dimple on the exractor plunger spring face when inserting it back into the bolt? PS When putting it all back together should I...

Hi all. I want to build a 20 inch rifle for punching paper out to 600 using 5.56/.223. I am settled on that caliber as I have tons of brass for it and am just getting into longer range shooting before moving up. What I want to do is build a rifle that is better than what I can buy for the same...

Hi all. My AR will FTE. It failed 3x in about 50 rounds today. Happened with PMC 55gr as well as LC 62gr Green Tips. I took it apart and found the rubber insert to the extractor spring is missing. I have a Wyndham essential components repair kit that has a small type of piece of plastic in it I...
