    RCBS dies?

    Did not read all the suggestions, I'm sure they are good. I've been using Luberplate no 7,, found at auto stores. Just takes a little tiny bit on the finger tips. Top suggestion from my gunsmith. Some on the body and a very little on the inside of the neck

    How do I get rid of tension?

    As a suggestion. Try taller scope mounts. Use to be we liked as low as possible scope mounts. But this result in tons on neck and shoulder tension as you tilt the head to view thru the scope.

    Spotting scope question, need unbiased opinion

    I sell both at a retail store. The older Vortex was probably made in Japan but it makes NO difference whether it's Chinese or Japanese. The glass is sourced from a Pacific Rim glass maker, (not Vortex). The Swaro glass is sourced from Schott. Both sources have excellent glass and less...

    Sako A7 accuracy issue

    The A7 comes with weaver style bases. They are Crap. Sako recommends gluing them to the receiver (in the fine print in the manual), Fat chance! Try Talley one piece aluminum base and ring combination. The next thing to do is have the stock/receiver pillar bedded. I have three A7's a 7mm Pro...

    Survivability of Remington ???

    Wow! I have more compassion for the gunsmiths that try to fix their firearms after they leave the factory. They too will feel the impact. Yet I have no compassion for Greedy self serving money grabbing idiots. Who will build the high end US sniper rifles? I'm tired of paying thousands of tax...

    Fierce Firearms, 2 Grand for the Fury model at Cabelas. The best I know of in a factory rifle. Browning has a video out ( on their website demoing the x-Bolt compared to a fully customized rifle. pretty interesting. Custom - not interested in, the diminishing returns for every dollar spent...

    Which top end binocular?

    Ok guys here is the real deal from somebody that sells them everyday. Bottom line a range finder bino will never be as clear and bright as a stand alone bino, period, (until they improve). RF binos have to be detuned to receive the laser back through the glass to calculate the readings. There...

    Browning Eclipse Target Rifle Review

    Have the same exact rifle. Have had it a couple months but have not shot it because it was naked. Finally the scope is mounted. I'm nearly ready to go. The Browning Rep told me the 6.5 Creed is Browning's most accurate round - we shall see. The 4 screws per ring mount is because the metal on...

    Most Accurate Out Of The Box

    Weatherby Lt Weight Mark 5 would not be my first choice. Its a great packer but the barrel is lite. My first choice would be the relatively new Sako A7 ProHunter. Why - I have been involved with four of them and each is an outstanding shooter. The first was Purchased at Cabela's, Its a 7mm...

    Brass Cleaning Using Stainless Tumbling Media System-Review

    You need a tumbler to make this idea work, the vibrator brass cleaners do not work. Check with STM to see if what you have will work. No cold water just a heads up. I had the tumbler so I was good to go.

    Nice brass great caliber, do you notice any dings in your brass from the stainless rods? Since we are talking brass - Go to the nearest Napa Auto or other auto parts and pickup some Luberplate #3. This stuff works exceptionally well to lube brass when running the brass through your dies. A...
