    Best 308 factory cartridge for 700 SPS Tactical

    FGMM 168gr has been the best for me. I have been able to squeeze a .28" 5 shot group out of mine. The 175gr opens up just a little bit. ymmv

    I cant get a responce from Alpha Mags

    I am in the same boat. I ordered a mag from him 6 weeks ago. After 3 weeks I called him to get a status. aI was very polite and knowing the long wait wasn't too much in a hurry. He stated there were issues with my address? yet he had my phone number. I gave him another address since I would be...

    6.5 Creedmoore as SHTF caliber...?

    The one lesson I learn after the last ammo frenzy after Sandy Hook was, common calibers are the first to go. .223/5.56 and .308 were cleaned out. That now has me questioning the conventional wisdom of sticking to common calibers. I saw a lot of 7.62x54 and 30.06. So my next rifle will be a cheap...

    Level scope using iphone

    I haven't read anywhere on here about using an app on an iphone to level a rifle scope. I figured this out on my own and thought I would pass it on. I am sure I didn't reinvent the wheel but I think it's a solid technique. The app I used is the AE Ballistics app. How I leveled scope...

    College Budget Rifle

    I went with the same set up as you have, including scope. I opted for the B&C m40 so I could afford a Timney trigger. Best thing I ever did.

    bell and carlson m40 stock

    I just received my M40 stock back from Badger Ord few days ago. I bought the PTG DBM from Stockysstocks for 120.00 and had Badger Ord do the M5 inletting. There's a little gap behind the magazine well but you don't notice it and doesn't affect function. Its the best buy on a DBM system I found...
