    Rifle Scopes IOR Valdada for AR .308 anyone use one?

    Re: IOR Valdada for AR .308 anyone use one? Your looking at almost 15 pounds unless you have a pencil contour barrel on your AR-10. Gonna carry that and shoot it offhand without ever giving thought to "wish this rig was lighter"? The Leupold Mk 4 variables are fairly light and very compact...

    Movie Theater Bourne Legacy

    Re: Bourne Legacy Ludlum books, like that hack Tom Clancy, are written to a formula. If you read one, you've read them all. About the only contemporary adventure story writer that isn't predictable is Frederick Forsyth. In the spy genre John LeCarre continues to innovate his stories. Saw...

    Re: NOT a sniper by pay grade or anything special Lately, I have been wondering where the guys who posted here whose comments always made the most sense have gone...? About 10yrs ago I got kicked out of sniperctry for chatting up handloading ideas that were received with "this ain't...

    6x45 Bolt Rifle

    Re: 6x45 Bolt Rifle I load 77gr BTHPs in .223 for AR-15 Can single-load 80, 85, or 90gr bullets. Not specifically "hunting", and maybe not approved in your state; but have recovered many shot at 2700fps into rocky soil backdrops and never seen one that broke apart. They bend like pretzels...

    Sako TRG / Limbsaver Pad *** Mod Complete w/Pics

    Re: Sako TRG / Limbsaver Pad *** Mod Complete w/Pics Take the buttplate spacer off, bore holes undersize w/drillbit to fit 2 mounting screws, remove a bit of material inside center of pad so center adjustment screw turns easily and you're done. Not a big deal to grind the pad down to conform...

    260 basic question?

    Re: 260 basic question? Get the Dewey coated rod for .22 caliber, fits up to 6.5mm. 44" for long barrels or high-comb stock (so the handle don't cause you to raise the rod to clear the stock), 36" if your barrel is 25" or less. 7mm to .45cal use the 30cal rod diameter. Great products and...

    Gunsmithing Build Vs Buy

    Re: Build Vs Buy FN-Herstal PBR and SPR rifles have a great reputation. Use the Win 70 controlled round feed and a match quality chrome-lined barrel, plus the SPR is factory equipped with several types of McMIllan tactical stocks. I would buy .308win, but .300wsm is the other factory...

    308 win to much?

    Re: 308 win to much? Why not sell your bolt rifle and go with a Precision AR-15? Do you handload? Magazine loaded 77gr match bullets are very capable to 600+ yards. Read the stuff over on the national match board. Not like there is any recoil and you won't need a brake. The Tikka T3 is...

    Tikka M695 vs Tikka M658

    Re: Tikka M595/M695 Might want to also consider a Sako A5. Many of these were factory outfitted with McMillan synthetic stocks. If you are looking for a magnum action to build with, the Sako TRG-S used the M995 action which is same used on TRG 42 rifles. Same trigger, just no inside...

    Bolt-Action Basics
