I built this a while ago, i thought someone could use the idea, i got the mag blocks at a gun show for about 7 bucks each, and i had a piece of steel, so i drilled and tapped and epoxyed each one and have the setup in my vault... Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us

You do know that the Aimpoint mount comes free with the Aimpoint?

I wish, i live in a no suppressor state... :( Here is another picture in the jungle.. ;D Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Thats not a bad price if its with the LaRue mount, i like LaRue products, especially the quick release... i thought i was going to need it but this knob is big enough to release to put back just as fast as the quick release...

<lmao>

Here is a picture of my Mk12 Mod0 to help you decide... :) Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Here's what you have to look forward to, and i'm not even showing the bullet casting or the real precision stuff.. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Opps, and i thought i read it carefully...

Drew, i'm a little confused about what an Eotech and a Eotech reticle has to do with an Aimpoint and an Aimpoint dot? <dontknow>.. :)

Can you see the dot? it co-withness perfectly with the sights (Magpul )...If you have any specific questions i will be glad to answer them.. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Here is a picture of it mounted, i haven't gotten to the range yet, but other than that i like it, and i like the fact that its a 2moa dot, i can still see the target behind it, it has about 9 settings and 3 of them are for night vision, it has a unique mounting knob, it rachets 3 times for the proper mounting torque...

If i have to pick one of those i would pick the Rock Chucker, over the turrent...Remember once your dies are set you can change them back and forth...

...I love toys... <laughs>

6132expert, let me throw something else in the mix...As i said earlier, i have a Dillon RL450, and being that you're new to reloading you probably don't know that its a giant solid press, it doesn't have the removable die holder that the RL550 has, and to me its a good thing, because i sometimes use it as a single stage press, and man i get tons of leverage from it...One more thing about progressives, (especially if you're a litte ocd) you can't clean the primer pockets the way its set up, i don't know about everyone else but after a few loadings i have to clean them but that just me.. :)

Just got a Millett TRS-1 from midway, man what a nice scope $269 till aug.31st

6132expert, have you considered used? usually used single stage presses are pretty inexpensive, just a thought..

Another thing i would like to bring out is with an aluminum press is you will get so disgusted with pulling the handle,(its all about leverage and having a sturdy press) that you will hate reloading before you learn to love it, also i always mount my press to a steel plate then mount that to a very sturdy workbench...

Everyone here is giving you good info. Survivalshop should be along soon as he is an experienced reloader... Now my .02 cents on Lee products, Lee products work, i especially like some of their dies, and they are inexpensive, but i never liked their presses, usually mostly aluminum, to me you need a cast iron press so there is no flex, you will know what i mean the first time you run a 30.06 through a die..If i was to get a first single type press i would get the RCBS rock chucker, to me its the king of single stage presses, even tho you are getting a Dillon you will always go back to this one trust me on that, and you will thank me later...As far as accessories go, i am still buying stuff, after 40 years of reloading lol...You need a good scale to start with, i started with a beam (inexpensive ) and went to a RCBS digital, expensive but worth every penny for speed and accuracy, you will need a lube for rifle, i like the Dillon lube, if you are loading pistols get carbide dies, you will need a trimmer to trim the cases, a good digital caliper to measure, a tumbler or vibrater, and of course as tjtorborg mentioned a good reloading manual....There is much more and i'm sure others will chime in with their favorites

First of all a crazy wife is no excuse, we all have one lol...I'm not too clear if you haven't reloaded before, so we'll assume you haven't...I have a RL650, and a RL450 (pre RL550) and 3 single stage presses, and you would be surprised how much you can load on a single stage, look, i'm not trying to say which one to get, but on a RL650 there's a lot going on when you pull that handle, and if you are not familar whats going on a disaster can occur, Murphy is always hanging around progressive presses, lol...You can buy a single stage press without spending much money, and buy the Dillon later on, you would still have to buy the other components ( dies, gunpowder,lube etc.)either way..

Personally i would start with a single stage, it will give you a feel about whats going on in each step....As a guy who's been reloading since the early 70's i still use my single stage, for a number of reasons, especially load development...A lot of people think reloading is about quanity, when its really about quality...

Sent you a PM....

I just got it today ( man that was fast) and mounted it 10 minutes ago, looks good, can't complain for $400, i will play with it tonight ( the Aimpoint that is) and get some pictures up tomorrow...
