Depending on the tuner, the bottom of the bore inside hits the end of the barrel. I am mostly familiar with Harrels and my Holeshot versions. They...

Really sorry to hear about this, Had the pleasure to load next Joe at the Super Shoot as said very friendly and great guy.....sorry for the loss

Yeah...tuner will be bored to match whatever. I figure it would be better for the tuner to shoulder on something?

Joe was one of the friendliest guys on the range and always a pleasure to shoot and talk with. He also will be missed. John VM

DSM, Is there a reason you would not bore the tuner to fit the barrel? TKH

Thanks for the replies. My plan is to slug the barrel to determine where to cut. I will turn down the .900 diameter to like .875-.880 for a slip on...

AS much as I would like to be done with this, I just can't let it stand where you have left it. Free speech and hate speech are quite different...

With so many of our benchrest friends and acquaintances having "left the range," I thought it would be nice to have a somewhat comprehensive list of...

Jim, I hate to hear that. My wife and I met Joe at your place (i.e., the Super Shoot) several years ago, and enjoyed visiting with him. My...

The BR series 12-42X56's with the NP2DD reticle are very popular with IBS/NBRSA VFS shooters. Excellent optics and reliable 1/8" adjustments....

If you are shooting competitive benchrest then you will be governed by a weight limit. Most high mag Nightforce scopes are over 2lbs so not always...

I can't really say who do they appeal to, but my NXS 5.5 I've got years ago is still one of the better scopes I've had. They are definitely on...

Thanks, Jerry, for sharing your experiences when turning the OD of a barrel. you shared a lot more than I expected. my question was directed in...

Tim, I like to try different things just to see how it may work. for me the fun is tinkering and if the rifle does well then even better. Lee

Oh, sorry. 🙄 I did have them in mind.

First of all, I am only shooting 50 yard ARA type of benchrest currently. ALL of my efforts go to that goal. I think most of my issues and data...

Well, I guess that answers that question although I cannot imagine simply not getting a RF blank .900” +- even for a 40X type tenon.

Tim, some barrel contours are 1.200 at the chamber end from anywhere in length of 3-4". turning them to have a better fit/transition to action. ...

Now I’m curious, why would you do that?

and WOW... you completely ignored the benchrest people...100/200/300, 600 and 1000 yards, and the military.

Jerry, in post #4 you mentioned a detectable bore growth when reducing the OD by .100 or more and you feel this is not good, so I understand you are...

I'd say most of the Nightforce products are designed for the tactical, PRS, NRL, hunter rolls. Their claim to fame is being rugged and continuing...

Mike, I in no way intended to discredit anything you posted. I was just answering the op with what information I know. I'm not sure what the...
