Was his name mark Slater?

I work with a guy like that.

This rifle doesn't have what I would really recognize as a recoil Lug when compared to typical factory rifles. It has a milled rounded groove on the underside of the receiver to align it. It's a BAT action, so I'm sure you're familiar with what it looks like. And yes, the bolts get tight all at...

Well, this is my first real Benchrest rifle and I didn't want to screw anything up before I even got a chance to shoot it :o

The rifle was shipped with a thin coat of some kind of light lube. Some of it seeped underneath one side.

Thanks for that! Yes, it's pillar bedded at each end, It was no where near 65 at the front. as a matter of fact, it was barely tight at all. The trigger guard was tighter! There was also a fluid of some kind between the action and stock. Not much, but that's a big no no from everything I've ever...

I just received a Benchrest rifle that happens to be a bolt in, and was wondering what the torque spec would be. I'm fairly certain that 45in.lbs will do it, but since I'm new to this I figured I would ask those with much more experience.

If you can wait until May, this is an option.. http://www.lymanproducts.com/lyman/GunCleaning/borescope.php

Competition has driven quest for the equipment we enjoy today. If the wind isn't blowing, I don't even bother going. I don't have to compete to enjoy the challenge of precision shooting, but I also know that anything is easy until you have to do it better than someone else.

So what's the Lot #?

A Flat base bullet would, but a Tangent Ogive bullet such as the Hornady, or a VLD style bullet, Not necessarily. The Tangent Ogive places the diameter of the bullet that will engage the rifling farther back than the same bullet weight with a Secant Ogive. This all gets a little cloudy when you...

How well does the rifle shoot now? IMO, if the chamber is concentric with the bore, it may not be worth it to do a bunch of modifications just to get the bullets closer to the lands. I would just take the bullets it likes and seat them out to where they are .010 off the rifling and see if it...

I concur with this. Whether the rifle has ever been shot or not, the throat on alot of Remington factory rifles is uneven from the chamber being reamed with a non-piloted reamer, just like my brand new .270 was. I bought a take-off barrel cheap, and the throat is very straight, so it's kind of a...

Mine arrived yesterday. Bought one for my Dad also.:D

The High Temp Stainless :cool:

On Stainless I use the Teflon Dope and it has never galled the threads on me yet. Even when the two parts are tightened close to the breaking point, I was able to get them back apart without any galling. I havent used the tape on threads, but it is supposed to work the same way. When I am...

+1 I have used this stuff for 3 years and it works great. Teflon Pipe Dope also works very well.

Now this is the best solution yet........

I believe what they mean is that in comparison to the .22-250, you can see your shots. They say the same thing about the .223. Every Varmint cartridge gets compared to the .22-250 in some way. The .223 doesn't shoot as flat, and the .204 isn't as good in the wind, but there are rifles to be...

I will go in a completely different direction and make a suggestion for the Tikka Varmint Stainless in .22-250. Tikka's are made by Sako, and have the best factory barrels I have ever seen. The trigger works very well, and that model has the option of a single-set trigger. You can easily add...
