couple of related weapons questions.

first, bolt action rifles. Has anyone heard of an "lod" or "LoD" stock? google gets me nothing but a few vague references.

I jumped too fast when I bought a scope for my remington 700, and am deeply annoyed at my nikon. I did a bit of searching, and I think I settled on a leupold mark 4, fixed power of 10. mil-dot reticle, no light or anything. I figured if I am going to buy a scope, I should get a good one.

I understand there is a difference between "mil dot" and caliber specific reticles, and some sort of issue with variable power scopes. I know I have a lot to learn, but my scope choice is good, right?


My weekend is mostly rucking and shooting. I want to be SF more than anything else, so I ruck from Ft. Bliss to my storage unit, then to the local gun club to shoot. My SR-15 is simple to break down and stuff in a rucksack, but my Remington 700 isn't. Now that I am learning bolt guns, I want to ruck with that thing, but I am paranoid about some cop flipping out on me, so I want to conceal it somehow, just enough to be polite. Any ideas? I am using a standard issue ACU rucksack, if that matters.


and last, an AR question. I found one of the old rear sight/carry handle assemblies for an M16, and I wanted to take it apart, but I am not sure how. I just want to remove the rear sight apeture. Google knows nothing, just for sale ads and wiki entries.
