    Looking for "TALL" (thick? high?) rail

    . I can't really add anything to my OP. I'm looking for a taller/higher rail. Not taller rings. Not a rail riser. Etc. I do thank everybody, though, for your efforts and posts, But the good news is, I have gotten leads from elsewhere that have solved my problem. Seems there's guys with computer...

    Looking for "TALL" (thick? high?) rail

    . Hey everybody. I can, and will if asked, go into the backstory behind this whole search, but it's a bit of a story. Thought I would just go to the crux of it all and maybe save time and avoid irrelevancies. I'm looking for a - Remington 700 - zero m.o.a./cant - one piece picatinny/Weaver...

    ATF FFL Transfer Question

    Hey guys. In addition to your help here, I've been digging as best I can on this end. And, yep, everything seems to agree that, aside from all the southern border stuff that they have put in place to try to control that insane situation, the basic multiple transfer reporting issue pertains...

    ATF FFL Transfer Question

    . . Thanks EVERYbody. OK, so lissen... What do they say in the military? No battle plan survives the first engagement with the enemy. I thought I wrote a fairly clear OP. But good replies always point out the "holes" in your OP. So... Let me add and clarify: - I am not an FFL - I live in...

    ATF FFL Transfer Question

    . . Deep in my synapses, I remember being told of a "limit" to how many FFL transfers (transferring a purchased firearm to oneself) one could make in a given period of time. No more than two (2) within a 7 day period? Or... no more than three (3) within a 30 day period? Or... whatever, I don't...

    Tall bases?

    . Whatever it is about my head/neck/shoulders body measurements... I always have to scrunch down, pull my neck in like a turtle AND THEN STILL lay my head over about 45° to get my eye into the scope's eye box. UNLESS... I install an adjustable tailpiece on (my own) rifles. Drop the recoil pad...

    Do you name your rifles?

    . MUCH easier to think about things (cognitive map) if they have a name, a tag, or sumthin' So... Lilja Black Walnut Salt & Pepper .308 Black Composite .308 Clint’s aught-six Hugh’s aught-six Birch .243 ... stuff like that .

    Something (? ? ?) won't let me edit my post

    No, it had nothing to do with HTML code. I was doing nothing irregular. I was merely trying to correct some punctuation. And when I, then, clicked on "Save Changes" I got the big black box saying "not allowed" (whatever). It WARN'T ME. It was the website being hinky. Now... that said, I...

    B.C. IM CONFUSED ON THE 6.5 CALIBER

    . Thanks Susquatch. For your OP clarification, and "bottom lining" my post. To me (regarding this issue), velocity just screamed "time of flight", but... yeah... indeed I never said it in so many words. Thanks for putting a little finer point on the issue than I did. JimD .

    B.C. IM CONFUSED ON THE 6.5 CALIBER

    . I'm not sure exactly what this thread is supposed to be about, from the OP's p.o.v. - he mentions ballistic coefficient first - but the essence of the question seems to be about wind drift Anyway... to the extent that it is about wind drift... A long time ago, I really delved into this...

    Remington 700 BDL internal box magazine... Grrrrrr ! ! !

    Thanks dok, Just for the record, I'm usually doing this with the rifle laying upside down in a "cradle" (whatever). It looks so simple: - put the internal box magazine in place - put the hinged floorplate bottom metal in place - action screws - voila! Couldn't be simpler. :mad: JimD .

    Remington 700 BDL internal box magazine... Grrrrrr ! ! !

    . Hey everybody. I don't even remember when I got my first Remington 700. But, somehow, there's one thing I managed to NEVER learned how to do! If, for whatever reason I remove the bottom metal (hinged floorplate) and internal box magazine, I HAVE THE #%!&@ of a time getting it back in! (the...
