I think that's close to what I was referring to as a ladder test with the tuner. Can you provide some additional explanation of the picture? My naive thought is that if you can find a range of settings where the shots go to the same POI, set the tuner in the middle of the range, & call it...

Lawrence, Your system only shows horizontal displacement, no vertical. How do you compensate for that? Regards, Ron

The "tuner question" thread got me to wondering: Does anyone do a ladder test with a tuner, not changing the load, but changing the tuner setting to find the "right" setting? Then again, is there a "right" setting that works day after day? Regards, Ron

Why don't you just call Burris?

The 6mm diameter is a bit smaller, but the 28 thread is not close. After 5 threads, you'll be a whole thread off. It's better to get a proper metric screw made if you have to. JMHO, Ron

Why contact Grizzly? I've had great response from Grizzly's service. I'd bet the person on the phone would offer a refund or replacement, your choice. Regards, Ron

Steve, This has been discussed before. Yes, it's metric, but so close to 16 TPI that it doesn't matter. That a look at: http://benchrest.com/showthread.php?51749-Barrel-thread-for-a-Sako-L461-action Regards, Ron

"I don't understand why Rem. barrels are not better indexed. Do receiver front to bolt face dimensions vary a lot? Large variations in tenon length?" No, there are not Large variations in tenon length. Usually a Rem barrel will screw on another action & headspace, etc correctly. It's just...

Fussy, By turning the barrel further into the receiver to get the sights & stamping right, neither the counter bore or the headspace will be right. If you haven't fitted a barrel before, I suggest you get a gunsmith to do the job. Regards, Ron

The receiver threads in a Remington action are not timed. So the barrel may headspace just fine, but the roll stamping & the rib will not line up properly. You can fit the barrel so the rib & stamping are right, & then rechamber to the correct headspace. JMHO. Regards, Ron

The unobtainable Vaughn book strikes again! Regards, Ron

I'm sorry for the flakey website remark. Chalk it up to momentary frustration. After some difficult on my side, I got registered & have a few bids in. Regards, Rono

2 Pet peeves VARMINT: I'm not Snuffy Smith & I don't shoot a Varmit rifle, but I have some trophies that say, "Light Varmit"! Powder MEASURE: it's not a powder thrower or a powder dump.

"It's not the cloth that wears. it is the rod going over the throat. I wonder why the bore scope always shows more wear on the bottom. Matt" It might be caused by bending the rod up to clear the comb of the stock with a loose bore guide. Ron

Michael, I just rebarreled a savage target in 6 BR with a PTG bolt head. No fitting of the bolt head was needed. I like to cut the threads with a shoulder, like a Remington, so I didn't use the nut. I find it easier to get the headspace right that way. Your mileage may vary. Regards, Ron

registration I tried to register with this outfit to place a bid, but their website won't verify my registration. I wonder how many bids you will get if they have a flakey website. Ron

One thing for sure, the BBQ match is bad for the waistline! Great time, Mike. Regards, Ron

When you email Mike, put "bore guide" in the title. His system sends a lot of other titles to the spam box. There are some things you can go cheap on - bore guides aren't one of them. Regards, Ron

New England Custom Gun is offering a 98 Mauser trigger that looks like a Canjar design. Perhaps they have parts available. Regards, Ron https://www.newenglandcustomgun.com/Gun_Services/item_info.asp?Brand_id=4289&ST=Adjustable%20Single%20Set%20Trigger%20for%20Mauser%2098#.VB8HV373arU

Al is in line with the "bananna shaped case" idea of Merrill Martin. I think he and Creighton Audette were the ones to stress the importance of using good cases in the pages of Precision Shooting starting in the 1980's. Merrill Martin, Precision Shooting, Apr. 1989, vol. 34, No. 12, pp. 8 9...
