    Most important

    I had one built last year. I would say that everything is important when you are spending $4,000 on a rifle. That includes the action, barrel, trigger, stock and smith to put everything together. I`m not trying to be a S.A., but these are the things I considered when I had mine built. Also...

    Turbo V-3 Upgrade --- Hot Off the Press

    Tony, my V3 seems to be working well now but I suffer from the same affliction as you. I'm always looking for a better mouse trap. After you get your bolt reworked please let us know how you like the changes it made. Thanks, Les

    Turbo V-3 Upgrade --- Hot Off the Press

    Tony, thanks for the information. I have the V3 with the crescent firing pin. The action and trigger hanger have been modified to allow for changes in the depth of firing pin indention on the case head. Would this modification do anything else other than the 30% reduction in bolt lift? Bolt lift...

    Turbo V-3 Upgrade --- Hot Off the Press

    Is this upgrade something we can do ourselves, or will the action have to go back to DiOrio?

    Cleaning Rods?

    Cleaning rods After trying a multitude of rods I settled on one of Jerry Stiller's melonited, .187 diameter rods with a Mike Lucas bore guide. The bore guide has a bushing that fits the .187 rod perfectly. You measure your rod diameter and Mr. Lucas bores the bushing to fit.

    Tuner setting?

    Contact Tony Purdy, Packrat on this forum. He is very helpful and will walk you through the process. I used the Prx on one of my rifles and got within 8 clicks of the final setting. This method saves a lot of ammo.

    bonding/gluing aluminum

    I bonded a plate to the deck of a boat with 3M 5200. When I tried to remove the plate a year later some of the deck came up with the plate. The only way to separate anything bonded together with 5200 is to get a length of piano wire attached to two makeshift handles and get the wire between the...

    we need a humor forum.....until then

    Knew a guy that worked at a zoo circumcisizing elephants. The pay wasn't much but the tips were big. The last I heard he had changed jobs and was working in the circumcision ward at the local hospital. 20 skins a week and a chance to get ahead.

    Jeff Patterson's J-PAT SPEC Rifles

    Do you have a contact # for Jeff? I have a new build that I would like him to do his magic on if needed. DiOrio V3, Bix and Andy, Muller 4 MI and a Dymalux stock. I realize he is busy with his HVAC and gunsmithing business and can wait 'till he has a break.

    Hey guys

    Donate it to a food bank and rebuy. Much better than a catastrophe that the rest of us would have to deal with. Oh wait, we have a catastrophe going on right now in this country. Eat up.

    A man walks into a bar, sits down and orders a double. He slams that one down and orders another double. The bartender clearly sees that the guy is troubled and asks him what's wrong. The man reaches into a bag and pulls out a little one foot tall man and a miniature piano. The little man sits...

    we need a humor forum.....until then

    My ride is getting on up there in mileage so I decided to see what`s available and at what price. I stopped at a local dealership and requested a test drive on a new sporty vehicle. The salesman that accompanied me on the test drive looked a little left wing leaning to me, and after the...

    2000 Mules

    You don't have to watch the video to know the election was stolen. All you had to do is notice the crowds that showed up at a Trump rally and the dismal numbers that showed up at a Biden rally. Biden couldn't put together enough people to have a good poker game.

    Cataracts

    To answer your question on scope usage after cataract surgery, there was no discernable difference that I noticed after surgery. I wear corrective lens but can't wear them while looking through a scope. I never could as the image looks egg shaped. I'm sure I had to adjust the side focus somewhat...

    Ir 50/50 (275)

    I exaggerated the numbers to prove a point. Maybe those two scores have never happened, but they could. See post #6. Nothing is impossible. Would you care to give me your opinion on what target you consider the most accurate of the two?
