    Sub $450 optic?

    So it's black Friday. A family member just asked me for help picking out a scope for her husband. Her budget is $350. I can up that budget to $450, as I know $350 won't go far (I realize that $450 doesn't go far either). The husband has been wanting a FFP 5-25 or 6-24 range. I typically...

    Suppressors Looking at NFA trusts - SilencerShop or SilencerCentral?

    I'd like to set up an NFA trust, I've been leaning towards building a SBR for years and decided to go ahead and get a trust set up so I can then file a Form1 (I'd prefer to do this as a trust instead of as an individual). Been leaning towards the SilencerShop Unlimited trust, but realize that...

    Bolt effect on accuracy?

    I've got an AR15 with a White Oak Armament 18" SPR barrel with a cheap no name BCG from AIM Surplus. I've tried several ladders with it, but haven't had luck getting any decent groups. I've done a Varget ladder with 69gr SMK bullets, and a AA2520 ladder with 77gr SMK bullets, and most groups...

    Think I'm going to take the Vudoo plunge - what barrel profile?

    Been thinking about getting a Vudoo for several years now. Think this is the year I order one. My plan for this rifle would be mainly 100 yard shooting from a bench, some rimfire benchrest matches, and on occasion stretching it out a little further (longest range I have access to is 300...

    Question about temperature sensitivity - H4350, IMR 3031, and VV N550

    Ok, so I don't get to go to the range very much, just once every few months, but I go every chance I get (young kids keep me busy). I've got several load ladders all loaded up, and it looks like I can get to the range on Saturday for a bit. I have a 6.5 Creedmoor ladder with H4350 and 140gr...

    223 Bob Sled Single Shot Magazine issue - won't lock in - Tikka in MDT Chassis

    I've got a Tikka T3x 223 in a MDT ACC chassis. I've shot this rifle in several benchrest and F-Class matches. I've been using an MDT 10 round polymer 223 magazine, but these matches require single loading. I bought a Bob-Sled AI 223 Single Shot Magazine...

    Vintage, but not snipery - M16A1 barrel profile question

    I've got an old M16A1 parts kit sitting around, and I'm finally going to put it together. I don't have an M16A1 profile barrel though, and I want one with a modern twist rate, not a 12" or 14" twist. I've got a 20" AR Performance barrel sitting around with a 7.7" twist and 3R rifling. This is...

    Area419 Arcalock comes loose

    I've got the Area419 Arcalock installed on my Atlas bipod. When shooting, the Arcalock will become loose, and I'll have to re-tighten it. I have to check it constantly to make sure it's tight. This has happened on multiple rifles (same bipod and Arcalock), using either a MDT ACC chassis, or...

    I'm looking for a throw lever for a SWFA 5-20x scope. I'm looking for an aluminum one, preferably the one produced by SWFA, but am open to other non polymer ones. If you have one, please send me message.

    Got a LabRadar, need a battery suggestion

    Got a LabRadar recently. It works great, wish I bought it earlier. Anyway, I'd like to use a rechargeable battery with it. What are most people using?

    Accessories SOLD! Trade or sell Magnetospeed V3 + Cash for LabRadar

    I have an almost new Magnetospeed V3 chronograph for sale. I've used the Magnetospeed once, there is some very small and very minor damage to the strap, but still works fine. Pictures are below. The last picture shows the minor damage to the strap. There's nothing wrong with this...

    Is it me or the rifle? 6.5cm accuracy...

    I recently built a 6.5CM large frame AR. I used a JP barrel with the +2" gas system, JP bolt, Light Weight Bolt Carrier, JP Silent Capture Spring recoil system, Superlative Arms gas block, and a ZEV receiver set. It had a Scalarworks mount with a Vortex Viper PST gen2 scope (5-25x FFP)...

    Remove muzzle brake - will this cause difference in group size?

    I have a Tikka 223 Varmint that I bought from a member here. Awesome rifle. It has an Area419 Hellfire muzzle brake on it (muzzle was threaded by previous owner). This rifle is capable of .5moa groups, I'm very happy with it. I've only ever shot this rifle with the brake installed. My...

    Do you sort your brass by # firings?

    I've been sorting my brass by headstamp and number of firings for a couple of years now. I was recently given some Sinclair tools for neck turning. If I start neck turning, do I need to continue sorting my brass by number of firings? I'm thinking about turning my necks to 14 thousandths after...

    Large Frame AR build issues

    I'm finishing up my first large frame AR build. Pretty much everything went together just fine, except for 1 issue I'm having. I went with a ZEV receiver set, and the ZEV Wedgelock handgaurd. I also went with the JP 6.5CM Barrel Kit, that comes with their gas block. After I installed the...

    Gunsmithing Normal barrel wear?

    I was recently gifted a borescope (I know, one of those things I should never look through). Anyway, stuck it down my R700 with a factory barrel (308 Winchester). Has about 2800 rounds down the tube. You can definitely see some barrel wear. I think everything looks normal though. To my...

    Is the expander ball needed?

    I have been using the same RCBS 308 Full Length resizing dies for more than 10 years, and have never looked into using anything else. Today, I was resizing some brass for an upcoming match, and my expander ball came off the rod and got stuck in a case. It also stripped the threads on the rod...

    1903A3 bolt gets stuck on follower...

    I have a 1903A3 that jams on the last round. When pulling the bolt back, it gets stuck on the follower. The follower seems to move back with the bolt and get caught. I have a stamped trigger guard. I've attached pictures of the follower. Also, the bolt going through the magazine cutoff...

    Optics Nikon Prostaff 4-12x40mm w/ Mil-Dot Reticle

    I'm selling a Nikon Prostaff 4-12x40mm scope with Mil-Dot reticle. It's a 2nd focal plane scope. I've had it about 10 years, it has some slight wear marks and ring marks, but nothing bad at all, it's in good shape. I've recently upgraded my scopes, so I don't need this one anymore. I'm...

    Savage Mark ii - Good for NRL22?

    Just found out a local club is going to hold NRL22 matches. Problem is, I don't currently have a 22. I'm interested in shooting Base Class. I know the Tikka T1x is really popular right now. I could get a T1x and a Bushnell Match scope and still qualify for Base Class. I already have a SWFA...
