    Sightron scopes

    I own several, both for hunting and competition. I trust all of them. I did have an issue with one, Alan Orr at Sightron took great care of the scope and me. For the price, they are pretty tough to beat.

    Pickers or Runners in Score

    You are the man Francis!!! The "Dudes" post #9 hit the nail on the head. I believe in order to be fast AND good you have to have the technique down so that you never loose vision of the flags. It is alot easier to see a change happen than have to remember what your flags looked like to know...

    Okay, TUNERS AGAIN. Bukys/Schmidt style versus Beggs???????????????

    Another case of; to each their own. Some scientists wanted to solve the problem of How does a bumble bee actually fly? Most others could care less - they just knew those big black and yellow things were chasing them when they got around their Russian Sage Bush. Once science actually proved why...

    Okay, TUNERS AGAIN. Bukys/Schmidt style versus Beggs???????????????

    Mr. Brown, If the number .0012 is constant, I assume this means the Begg's tuner's movement is linear? Other Begg tuner users have told me this. Meaning, if you shoot at 60 degrees then the temp jumps up to 80 degrees - you would know where to put the tuner without having to fire groups to...

    Need for case annealing

    I don't think the specific amount of neck tension is the "key" (example .002 vs .004) - but having consistent neck tension IS important. (example case 1 has .003 and case 2 has .003, etc) This is one area where annealing comes into play. Annealing also has other benefits if done correctly...

    Bullet Seaters

    ;) "But, You said!!" I am a faithful believer in your dirt-clod engineering techniques Al. Yes, your scotch tape method does work to help deduce the runout culprit. However, I have not grown big enough kahunas to take my resizing die and run a dremel tool in it to widen it out big enough for...

    Bullet Seaters

    "However, peace of mind is worth a great deal of effort " You hit the nail on the head there. One of RG's famous lines is "Don't sweat the small stuff". Last year, I got an idear and took my seating stem out from my Wilson seater and placed it in my mini-lathe. I then put some aggressive...

    GPS Navigation

    At the start of the year, I will be purchasing some sort of GPS Navigation device. I do not have very much experience with any of the models. I rode to a match with a guy who had one and it was really helpful. What are some "must have" features that I should look at before making a purchase...

    30 br tolerances questions

    Hi Jeff. This should get you started down the right path, although opinions will vary. I, personally, don't weigh bullets (1,2,300 yd). I use Randy Robinett's BIB bullets. If you are measuring base to tip - they will be off that much, but that length is not important. What is important is...
