Great idea for a thread! Where is the best/correct place to measure sight height (center bore to center scope) when using a base with 20 MOA built into the base? And, how much does it really matter? |

Always wondered about the test targets builders show ?When you show test targets are those factory ammo or reloads , if reloads do all your rifles like the same recipe or do you work up a load for each individual rifle ? --- End quote --- With the machining, stock fitting, bedding, coating, etc....there is usually about approx. 12-14hr per rifle. Most of my test targets are with handloads, but some I use factory ammo with as well. A lot of the 6.5 Creedmoors, 260's, 280AI's, and 338 Lapua's, I will use factory ammo with. Now, here is the part that bugs me about other builders. That charge they bill for "load development"....its a complete BS deal. Just a way to get a little extra money for actually shooting the rifle. The load recipe never changes from rifle to rifle. In the last 10yrs the only thing that has changed is that I had to back down my charge weight on my 7 Mag load since Retumbo became a little faster burn rate in the last couple years. Other than that, every rifle that I build runs the same loads and they are very well proven for accuracy. |

Lets use the following scenario: You barrel shank is 1.25" diameter, so half that is: .625" Your scope is a 30mm tube or 1.181", so half that is: .5905" The distance from the top of your barrel at the recoil lug area to the bottom of the 30mm tube section is: .729" Add those all together and you come up with 1.9445", round that to 1.95" and put that into you ballistic app. A slight difference in height won't make that much difference, but if you leave it at the default number of 1.5" of most apps, you would be a bit off at distance using this example. |

tagging in. I have a Rem 700 LR 300rum that may need your love. :chuckle: :tup: Why do you recommend a jewel triggers over timney triggers on the Rem 700s? |
