Hey Conrad... Where in Texas are you located?

Just talked to Vortex. They are dumping all EBR-2C reticles into scopes at the moment. They estimate in 3-4 months they would be able to stay swapping out reticles. Take caution though... It's a $300 price tag to sweep reticles.

Howdy C&H... welcome to the Hide. Those are some mighty fine looking bangsticks. Looking at your services that are offered I think you're perfect for some work I need done. Do you have any references on here? Can anybody chime in that have bought a rifle or services from C&H? Thanks! Brandon

...Continued from above... Accessories Sundhade Zero-stop shims Vortex lapel pin Torx wrench Lint-free cloth Reticle Subtensions Overall Impression Both of my Vortex Vipers are amazing. The glass is the best I've looked through. I wish I had more pics including sending lead...

So I finally got my hands on the new EBR-2C reticle and I thought I would share with the community. I have a EBR-1 reticle and absolutely love it and I was in need of another piece of glass. First a little about myself. I've been shooting for 25 years and while I own many handguns and...

Re: Snattle Rakes I'm not scared of snakes but you have to respect something so small that can put you in the hospital. However, there's only four types of snakes I don't like.... Long, Short, Live and Dead. Brandon

Re: Question for the Reloading Gods Sorry about the confusion... I only mentioned factory ammo because I had some. The rifle only came with a box of ammo. I'd like to buy a couple hundred pieces of brass and start from there. This is just unchartered territory for me. The rifle is a Ruger...

I have been reloading over 17 years and have collected over 30 sets of dies, 4 presses, casting equipment and enough supplies to overthrow a small country. I've reloaded for both rifle and pistols but now I have a rifle that has me stumped. I use to have an Ackley Improved .223 Remington so I...

Re: Custom 10/22 "mini A5" stock, pics Do you notice a great decrease in recoil since adding the decelerator? All kidding aside... That is one slick setup. You sir are a pro! Brandon

Re: homemade paint oven and first test results If the excessive heat is a problem I would look into Alumahyde II. It can air cure but that takes forever. If baking it only takes 90 degrees for 24hrs. I've used it on numerous stocks with GREAT success. Brandon

Re: Rechargeable CR123 Batteries Also be aware when using most rechargeable 123 batteries - Some output slightly more than the standard voltage which will pop your bulb. If you have a digital flashlight(LED bulb with conditioning circuit) then you should be fine. I have been using...

Re: 7x57 Graves Improved Tight Neck I haven't dismantled the weapon yet to look for the smith's name. It could be on the bottom of the barrel where you can't see it with the stock on. I haven't done a chamber cast yet. I do have a couple pieces of fireformed brass that came with it. Thanks...

Guys I need some help.... I had a rifle fall in my lap from a friend... Father-in-law passed away and was an avid collector... This is a Ruger M77 rebarreled into 7x57mm Graves Improved Tight Neck. I have a couple pieces of brass and they look like an Ackley Improved but the barrel is stamped...
