Lapping rings give them more purchase - or contact with the scope barrel. As mentioned above, the high quality rings probably don't need them. The downside of lapping is that the exposed aluminum or steel is usually more prone to leaving a ring mark on the scope barrel when the scope is removed. Perhaps sealing the inside of the ring after lapping would be a solution? If you need a lapping kit for a 30mm barrel - let me know via PM.

Danner Tanicus Boots (NIB) Men's ize 10 D - medium
azsugarbear replied to azsugarbear's topic in Classified Ads
Boots have been sold. -
I made the mistake of ordering boots on line. When they arrived, I just threw them in the closet for hunting season. I pulled them out yesterday to start breaking them in - only to find that they are a smidge too small! Hunting season is just around the corner, so my loss could be your gain. These uninsulated Danner Tanicus boots are in brand new condition. I put them on in the family room, stood up and walked once around the room with them on, sat back down and took them off. No wear in side or out. Size is 10 D (medium). I paid just over $125 for them on sale with shipping. Need the dollars to put towards another boot buy, so selling them for $100. Boots will be listed on other forums as well. I will try to watch my PM's, but the first "I'll take them" trumps any earlier PM's. To be clear: I do not expect any buyer to buy these boots until they are certain they fit - so bring a pair of socks. Contact Info: Call or Text: 602-361-7191 Ask for Karl

It's hard to go wrong with the triple deuce. For years it was the standard at competitions. One of the very few rifles I ever regret selling was a Sako Vixen in 222 caliber.

.243 105 gr AMAX Reloading Help??
azsugarbear replied to Coues Archer's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
I shoot the Berger 105 gr. in my 243 rather than the A-max, but load development should be close. My Model Seven wears a custom Brux barrel with a 1:9 twist. I started out with the typical powders: 4350, 4831sc, etc., but I was never completely satisfied with either the velocity or the accuracy. I ended up with good nodes at 47.2 to 47.5 grains of Retumbo. My final load is 47.4 gr. of Retumbo with an ave. velocity of 3,100 fps. Great Coues medicine. Please note: This is a very "warm" load for my rifle. You should be cautious and work up slowly. I use Lapua brass because it seems to tolerate high pressure better than the other brands. Plus I get many more reloads out of it. Primers are Federal 215 LR magnum primers. I used to set my filled brass on the dryer while it was running. The vibration would settles the powder down into the case. Made me feel a little better. Anymore, I just drop the powder in and compress with the bullet. Same results either way. Happy hunting. -
Rifle Stock Painting
azsugarbear replied to lancetkenyon's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Some creative designs and some very nice work! That custom paint cure oven in the background looks so familiar....... -
Want to stay out of this...but I can't. It is true that energy isn't the most important part of external ballistics. Having said that, a hunter/shooter ignores energy at his own peril. Does hydraulic expansion cause holes? Nope - a bullet does that. But the internal damage caused by the shock wave of said bullet (read hydraulic expansion) can and does considerably more damage than the bullet wound channel itself. I have double-lunged several elk/deer only to find on opening them up that the liver had been torn in two. That shock wave or energy transfer is what puts the animal down quicker. As stated, the correct bullet selection for the application is important - but largely because that selection is what usually transfer the bullets energy to the animal the quickest and most completely. Correct bullet selection can often compensate for average accuracy or energy transfer. Great energy transfer can often compensate for average bullet selection or accuracy. To my mind, the hunter needs to consider and utilize all three: bullet selection (better described as terminal ballistics performance), energy transfer (a very close cousin to hydraulic expansion) and accuracy to make the most ethical shot he is capable of making. Our quarry deserves nothing less.

Didn't get picked for leftover tag...
azsugarbear replied to newazhunter's topic in Rifle hunting for Coues Deer
This is the first time since I can remember that there were no leftover tags in 36C. Just more people applying in general and a few latecomers to the leftover party. -
Welcome to CWT, Brendan! Which hunt in 24B did you draw?

What do YOU use to anneal brass??
azsugarbear replied to joelpresmyk8's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Cordless drill, deep socket and propane torch. Do it in a dark garage.. you're done when the brass shoulder/neck turns a dull cherry red - not a second longer. -
PM sent.

I assume this is a 12 gauge?

Fisher Ent. MP5-SD in 9mm SBR (HK MP5 Clone)
azsugarbear replied to azsugarbear's topic in Classified Ads
Price reduced to $3,050. I would be willing to consider a low end AR-10 for partial trade. If anyone has interest, let's talk. -
It's a long shot, but thought I would try here as well as posting it on gunbroker.com. Fisher Enterprises is a Mesa, AZ company that builds suppressors and some HK MP5/SP89 clones for competition and recreational shooting. This set-up runs $4,000 new from FE. I want to sell this pkg. which includes the SBR in 9mm, the integral suppressor and two after-market, 30 round magazines. If you are trying to get one into your trust before the trust laws change, I would be happy to pull the SBR from the auction - provided no bid has yet been entered. Runs like a champ. On a Form 3 with my dealer and ready to go. You can learn more by going here: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/568795255 Or give me a text or cal for more info. 602-361-7191. Remember: this is a two tax stamp item. One for the SBR, the other is for the suppressor. All NFA laws govern this sale. Not looking for trades at this time.

Sold my 22 Mag rifle. Found three boxes of ammo stashed in a drawer. 1 box (50 count) of CCI Total Metal Jacket 40 gr. at 1875 fps 2 boxes (100 count) of Winchester Jacketed Hollow Point 40 gr, 1910 fps Checked on line for pricing (ammoseek, slickgun, etc). When you can find it, the cheapest I saw was $14/box plus shipping. I will sell all three boxes for $40, which is $13.33/box. If interested, give me a call: 602-361-7191 and ask for Karl
