I put a Rifle Basix in my 17 HMR and I have no complaints.

I like your new truck Rick.

Hey guys, I just installed a Rifle Basix trigger in my Marlin 917. What is the proper way to check if the trigger is safely adjusted? I have heard of the "drop test," but from how high should I be dropping the gun onto its butt end? 1 foot? 2 feet? 3 feet? Any other ways to test it? Thanks.

I asked the same question a while ago. Do a search for 204 Ackley and it should come up.

My buddy has an excellent condition Leupold VX-II 6-18x40 AO with the LRV Duplex he said he would sell to me for $400. This scope is usually $500 new, and I have been watching them on ebay and the used ones usually go for around $400. I would put it on my 17HMR that I use exclusively off a bench to ...

Thanks.

For those of you with a M38 Vartarg, why did you choose the M38 over the M21? Or, vice versa?

Thanks futuretrades. I will check on that again.

Thanks for taking the time to answer all of my questions. I really appreciate it. This last Spring was my first opportunity to actually do some rat shooting. I absolutely loved it. Also for fun, here are some pics from my first season out in the "rat patch." Working with the equipment I go...

RIO: Do you have the fine duplex reticle on your VX II 6-18? I looked at the custom shop and was disappointed that the VHR was not available for this model. I was hoping it would be because the .17 HMR gets pushed around quite a bit by the wind, which the VHR is helpful for. I guess I could order a...
