    I need some measurements...length of fore-end on KRG Bravo and MDT Field Stock

    Morning all, I just picked up a lightly used Remington 700 .223 with 16.5" barrel for cheap...and even cheaper after the 25% off I got at Cabela's yesterday! Of course, I'm ditching the Hogue oversold stock and putting it in something a bit dressier. This will be used almost exclusively for...

    Can't decide which scope/rifle combo I have makes the most sense

    Yet another question...I'm going down the rabbit hole as of late and would appreciate your perspectives. I have two rifles and two scopes...and I'm weighing which scope makes the most sense for the rifles in question. Neither will be used for hunting. Both for shooting paper and steel. So here...

    How important are illuminated reticles on a PRS build that is not used for hunting?

    In the last 10 years or so, I've always opted to buy an illuminated reticle, but now as I'm contemplating another scope, I realize that I rarely use the illumination feature. Yes...I have them on all but two of the hunting rifles, that I rarely use for anything other than range toys. Both of my...

    Pristine NXS or well used ATACR?

    I’m looking at a number of scope options to put on either a 6.5 LMT MWS 20” auto loader or a 308 Tikka Tact 1 24”. I currently have an NXS 3.5-15x50 that I moved from the LMT to the Tikka and I’ve been thinking about something with more magnification for the LMT. Two of the scopes I’m...

    Accidentally bought a new rifle...now I need glass.

    Howdy, I realize there's a bunch of threads on here about what glass to get, but given that people's price range and intended uses are different, the suggestions differ considerably. So here goes... A couple of days ago I was meeting a guy to buy an old Remington 700 mountain gun. He was...

    Which used rifle: Remington 700 AAC-SD 6.5CM or Bergara B-14 HMR in .308?

    My local Cabela's has announced Member Monday's and between that and my military discount, I'll be getting 15% off of used guns. Currently my store has two rifles I've been eyeing. The first is a Remington 700 AAC-SD in 6.5CM. 22" barrel, Hogue overmold stock (which will have to be replaced)...

    Advice for hunting scope: Nightforce SHV 3-10 or older Swarovski 1.5-6?

    I recently bought a Tikka T3x Lite .308 stainless rifle that I'm having the barrel cut back to 18". I'm in the process of piecing together the various parts to make this a really nice and handy "general purpose" rifle. I'm currently looking at several scopes with the most interesting candidates...

    Help with G series .308 Youth Rifle

    Hit the gun show today and picked up several Remington 700's. One was a 700 BDL Youth in .308. 20" barrel, older...pre QR code, synthetic stock, matte blue finish, G serial # prefix, Walker trigger. I'm trying to find some specs on this...barrel twist rate for instance, but also value because I...

    To cut or not to cut...new Tikka T3X Lite

    Hi all, It's been a minute since I've been on this site and after years of the tactical game, I've started down the rabbit hole of scout rifles and "general purpose" rifles. My scout game is covered with both a Steyr Scout and a Ruger GSR and I recently purchased a Tikka T3x Arctic which is a...

    How to gauge bullet depth off rifling?

    Hello all. I've been away for about a decade and recently I've found myself shooting long range and precision again for recreation instead of competition. I just started the journey into 6.5 CM and purchased a 20" barrel for my LMT MWS. I've been looking at load data for the 6.5 CM and I keep...

    Has anyone tried Magpul's MOE stock on an AR10 type rifle?

    I'm playing around with the configuration of my LMT MWS and currently have it running a Magpul ACR. I have the 18" barrel and I'm hoping to use it more as a precision type rifle than a DMR carbine, but I've all but decided to hold off on the PRS. I have an old A1 stock I was thinking about...

    Should I be satisfied with 1 MOA in my new LMT 18" MWS?

    Couple of weeks ago I bought a new LMT LM8MWS with both the 16" CL and 18" SS 5R barrel. I installed the 18" barrel and did a brief break-in. It shot reasonably well with factory match ammo, but I knew there was room for improvement. So, I bought an SSA-E trigger, Slash's buffer and spring...

    Suppressors Will Surefire muzzle brake cause crown fouling and accuracy issues?

    Just bought an LMT MWS and slapped a Surefire 7.62 muzzle brake/suppressor mount on it. Certainly helps tame recoil, but I it was suggested somewhere that the Surefire 1st chamber functions a bit like a AK Krink booster which causes quite a bit of carbon fouling on the crown. The same person...

    Need a good tripod recommendation

    I need a good tripod for my M151 (Leupold Mk4) spotting scope. I don't really want to drop $600+ for an Asbury Precision, but I don't want some flimsy POS either. Need something with no or very low center post since most of the spotting will be done from the prone or seated position. No leg...
