late for the train Thanks, everybody.

bolt lift For alinwa: You have certainly packed a lot of information into your post #8 above. Thankyou. You might have raised more questions than you answered: rebuilding the cocking ramp, ball bearings, etc. I know this is an old thread, but the info is timeless.

2020 update I stumbled upon this forgotten thread while searching for another topic. I want to thank you for all your constructive comments. I have re-evaluated all aspects of my rifle, reloads, and bench technique, made some improvements and other changes, and shot the two attached groups...

While I am working thru issues with my eyes and various scopes, I want to ax this question, tho I realize that there might be several answers: Is there a preferred or optimum reticle, target, and sight picture which yields best results? Circles? Dots? Fine crosshairs? Squares? I am working with...

neck bushing With the neck bushing sizing die, working of the brass is minimized while achieving "perfect" neck tension.

wonderful Thanks for sharing your wonderful story of your beautiful rifle. May I suggest that you post your photos with descriptions to your Profile? With your "old" technology, you can teach many of us how to shoot a rifle from the bench. Thankyou.

thanks you have given me many suggestions to incorporate into my next visit to the range. I will probably switch scopes to my HBRII after 20 shots, to check for improvement over my Leupold 10X. cheekrest on order. I will hold on to it as if the Sergeant Instructor were trying to take it from me.

should I try to hold the rifle very firmly, or not so much? going to the range on Monday

. . call my shot. I thought my first foray into the benchrest world would be more enlightening. I will restate my question in my first post: Can any of you offer some advice that might help me to see the dot? Thankyou. I hate to be rude and argumentative, but readers who don't understand...

blame game Nobody shoots a perfect shot every time he pulls the trigger. When I don't shoot well, I look to myself first before I search elsewhere for a solution. I don't pretend that every shot is a centered X, and that is why I am trying to get to the root of my inability to call a shot...

calling shots What scope base do you use? My scope mount is an ARMS 18. That is the problem most times (trust me) what model m1a do you have? The receiver is SA circa 1985. I made the stock, barreled it, and assembled it. What kind of load do you use? I have been using DCM 173 over 41 gr...

Please don't ban me from the forum!! Don't hate me for shooting a gas gun from the bench. I am seeking advice from the BR community about how to hold my awkward rifle so I can call my shots. My issue for now is my inability to call my shots, not the accuracy of the rifle. I have been testing...
