Asking for a friend running a panda in a TM McMillan stock. Thanks.

A while back I looked everywhere on the internet for Cecil Tucker's phone number and the one that came up did not work. Today I read a post on this site, by Gene Beggs that gave a number that works. It seems that he got rid of his old home phone in favor of a cell phone. Here is that number...

A friend who is not on a budget is building a new rifle for benchrest and he is trying to decide what action. I told him that the Stiller 2500 would probably be what I would go with, but today he asked me about the Turbo and how they compare. I told him that I don't know, but that I would ask...

In the past I have seen them advertised. They were used to raise a scope, going on the base, with the rings mounting on them. I know about tall rings but man need these for a particular application where I cannot go that way. Do any of you know where I can get a pair?

I see that they are discounted to a grand at Optics Planet, and that there is a new FCH model. Specifically, how are the optics? I looked it up and it weighs 20.5 oz. and will focus down to 10 yards.

Due to the impending landfall of hurricane Florence, the IBS 100-200 yard Score Nationals has been rescheduled from this coming weekend (September 15-16) to the weekend of October 27-28, at the same location, Ashe County Wildlife Club, Laurel Springs NC. Boyd Allen, EVP IBS

I have one each of the model with the safety, and the competition model that does not have one. They both are very well made, with great attention to detail and elegantly precise machining. The safety was the starting place for the design,and except for it being omitted in the competition model...

I tried calling. The first time my message did not get a return call and the second time I was disconnected before I could leave a message. Anybody know anything? Is Mike Ratigan still a dealer? If he is I need a current number.

I have a pair of these that I bought from someone second hand, and I would like to know who made them. Any help will be appreciated. Boyd IMG_1392 by boydallen, on Flickr

In the third match at 100 yd. Gary Ocock shot an .039. In the fourth match Jim Nicolas shot a .040, followed by a .041 in the fifth. There will be a lot more details in my report that will be in the Bulletin at Accurateshooter.com in a week or so. Going back tomorrow for 200.

When it comes to fine accuracy, I believe that striker assemblies are important, and that they function in a consistent manner and with the least possible vibration and drag. Toward that end, what do you think about the idea of creating more clearance between the larger bore (the one that houses...

Looking over an unmodified 700 SA the best estimate for bolt clearance is about .005 using the high precision Scotch tape method ;-) I have not decided if I am going to spend any money on this rifle or leave it alone but the thought occurred to me that before I did anything about the bolt's...

Going through my recent emails I came across one from Photobucket. In it they said that I would have to upgrade my membership to be able to post pictures on third party web sites. Since I have moved on to another free image hosting service this was of no particular interest....but the...

OK, I have decided to stop using Photo Bucket and since my ISP email is through Yahoo, I already had a Flickr account, with just a few pictures uploaded to it. After reviewing how it works, I decided that it would get the job done for posting on forum threads, but then there was the matter of...

I ran across this this morning and thought that some of you might find it interesting. http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/ping-bluetooth-cellular-gps-tracker/?utm_m_medium=cpc&utm_m_source=facebook&utm_m_campaign=25899&utm_m_token=iiXMEXqf&utm_source=f1&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=auto

Does anyone have any data as to the resolving power of ballistic chronographs? While I agree with the generalization that greater precision in weighing powder charges results in lower extreme spreads of velocity, some of the claims being made seem to ignore the differences in accuracy of the...

Yes, I am aware that UPS publishes its requirements. What I am looking for are tips that apply specifically to rifles with benchrest stocks, that generally do not fit inexpensive cases well. I presume that a case within a carton is the way to go. I found these cartons...
