I never met Dick in person. I feel I know him well through his writings. We are diminished. RIP Mr. Wright. bob

+1 for the 2500x. Too many reasons to spell out. I've owned both old and new Turbo actions. I still shoot the 2500x. bob

I'm in full agreement with Bruce on this one. No, the world will not stop turning. bob

I don't know the answer to why the lock ring changes focus. I just know it does. These are bullet proof old scopes so it is only a minor inconvenience, especially for me since I use them only at 50 yards. Once and done. bob

I am fortunate to have 2 of these scopes, a 20 and a 25. Yes they will focus at less than 50 yards. As was mentioned above be certain the lock ring is loose before attempting to focus. They are a pain to focus, actually but once done its done. One more point is the lock ring itself will...

Pete: I shoot it some in handguns. Hardly the best choice, but far better than some of the junk out there. You will get a few ftf's since the priming compound is not spun well enough. That said it is not defense ammo anyway. I much prefer the copper coated 36 grain HP's sold as "Federal...

KSS brought some of the FF triggers into the USA a few months ago. Call Dan to see if he has any left in stock. Killough Shooting Sports 5999 U.S. Hwy 83 Winters, Tx 79567 Phone: 325-754-5771 Email: support@killoughshootingsports.com They were unobtanium for a year or so so demand is/was...

Yes, and Dan (or one of his people) did tune one for me. To be fair, it was a few years ago. Call him and ask. He is willing to talk and answer questions....one of the reasons he is in business is to help shooters. If Paul answers he is equally versed. bob

Mort: I remember those days all too well. Even more frightening to me was 1957 sitting with my dad in front of his short wave radio listening to the first Sputnik signals from space. First time I remember ever seeing real fear on my dad's face. He, a WWII and Korean vet yet the fear was...

Jim: Failure to extract, or failure to eject? There is a difference. I am familiar with many 2500x rifles. None have had an issue with either if the chamber is clean and the extractors are seated properly in the bolt. Have you changed the spring clip that holds the extractors? Have you...

I own both and others. The Hall action is smooth as silk and a joy to shoot. Ignition on the other hand leaves much to be desired. The 2500x just works. No issues. None. bob

Bob: Tops often come with the rest, and often you have choices. What I like is not the issue. What is important, as I said earlier is to get a top that is legal in the game you want to shoot. As an example some require the rifle to rest on sand bags, some do not. You go out and spend that...

Bob: Many of us are very happy with the Randolph Machine front rest. Check out their Facebook page for details. The SEB Neo is probably the most popular joy stick rest around. Neither are inexpensive. Both can be had used if you are not in a big hurry, and that also means that if you buy...

Pete: In my time spent in competitive shooting I have never and I mean never had a shooter not answer a question that was asked with kindness or honest curiosity. We do not shoot on our own most of the time but as a group. Hard to keep secrets in a group setting. Me thinks your shot...

Tim: I cannot explain it. I have more than a few barrels Gordon has prepared, and I treat them in a similar fashion. You want to remove the wax all the way down to bare metal I suspect we will have to work much harder at it than you describe. bob

Every barrel is different. Only you and the barrel can determine what it needs. The only hard and fast rule is clean before accuracy falls off. Some even clean in the middle of a card when they feel it necessary. Todd Wooten is famous for this, and he ain't no slouch when it comes to being...

DMort: From an old fart who drew a 4F in the draft please keep em coming. It's nice to see what I missed. bob

No one has mentioned perhaps the best benefit of private clubs; the friendships you will make with other members who have similar interests. I belong to and pay dues to 4 clubs right now, have an application pending at another and am on a waiting list for one more. One can not have too many...

Just to give the OP an idea, without going into the gory details one of my rifles is tuned for Eley Black box at 133 and the same configuration is tuned for Lapua at 92. Big difference to some, not so big to others. bob

Harry tested his ammo, Lapua, indoors at 25 yards. Why? That was how much room he had inside the clubhouse. Harry was a distributor for Lapua back in the day and he tested every lot he had before it went on sale to the rest of us. If I remember correctly anything that did not go into the...
