    Free float hand guards

    I have questions regarding these. I have free floated barrels on my bolt guns, and the entire barrel floats. There is a gas block secured tightly around the barrel of my AR with a tube running back to the upper. (I know what they are and do) Doesn't this change the harmonics of the barrel? So...

    Making sure I got this right

    While waiting for this stuff to arrive, I've been doing some reading. What I have read is to never put steel rings on aluminum bases . Aluminum rings on steel bases are fine. Something to do with the different expansion during temp changes. Has anyone found this to be true? Should I go ahead...

    Making sure I got this right

    Ok I want to make sure I get the right bases for my scope. I plan on loading Hornady 180gr SST. According to my load data using IMR H4895 at max load of 48gr I will get 2680fps I plan on titrating the load down to 2600fps, which will give me a med load. According to ShootersCalculator I should...

    scope mount/rings

    I was at the Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg PA yesterday and picked up a 6-20X50 Vortex Viper to put on my Weatherby Vanguard S2 30.06. The only mounts they had at the show fit a picatini rail. I stopped at Bass Pro on the way home and they had only 1" rings. It looks like I'll be...
