    Night Vision When did military start using IR?

    Just came across this post. Around 1990-91 I was stationed at Fort Ord CA with 1-9 Infantry. We were light Infantry and worked counter drug as part of JTF-6 (under Bush). At the time we were told we were the first regular unit to employ the PAQ-2’s. From what I recall the device mounted to...

    Rifle Scopes Why no love (it seems) for Leupold MK4 line

    I like Leupold Mk4's. Most of my scopes are Leupold (fixed 10x and 16x). Have a FFP Mil/Mil 3x10 Mil Dot that works just fine. Now I bought a Night Force because it was all the rage. Paid retail, scope is large, heavy, and 56mm Obj lense is way bigger than I like, even the 50MM I feel is...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper line reg/HS/PST what is different?

    Anyone know what the difference is with the Viper line? I know the PST has illum, they all seem to be 30MM tubes. I know the PST has good rep, what about the HS? I was looking at the SWFA SS scopes, but the Vortex Viper seems like it might be a better deal. I am about broke from...

    Using .308 in 30.06 rifle?

    I thought they used to sell a chamber adapter to make a .30-06 use .308. You needed a stuck case extractor to get it out. Military used to have them IIRC.

    Most effective brake

    I ordered 2 AAC brakes to test one has a few ports and works with a can, the other like a tank brake, single baffle 2 ports. My goal is less recoil on a lightweight set up. I have hreard good things about the LB as well.

    Light weight rem 700 stock.

    Manners hunting stock with 90% carbon fiber shell option is what I would look at.

    Rem 700 AAC-SD w/ McRee Stock

    Check Mile High Shooting, they tend to have AI mags in stock. What length chasie did you get? I was looking at a McRee folder folder for a 20" AAC-SD/LTR and the short chasie looked better, but they recomend 19" or less barrel.

    Finally broke down and bought a Harris bipod

    Harris makes a good product. Atlas is good too. I started with a few Harris bi-pods, bought a knock off or two, now have about 1 Harris per rifle. IIRC I have one left on backorder with MidwayUSA to be at a 90%+ Harris set up. Side question; When were you at Fort Ord? I was there from...

    How well does your FN SPR shoot?

    Yes, I was looking at the factory accuracy and if the shooter could match the test target. So far I am impressed with my first FN. I if this rifle shoots well, then in the future I think I will be "that guy" who asks the dealer to show me the shot groups of what they have in stock before I...

    How well does your FN SPR shoot?

    Sounds good so far. I was questioning FN's "All models have cold hammer-forged MIL-SPEC barrels with chrome-lined bores and are held to a +/- .001” headspace to produce and maintain one minute-of-angle (1 MOA) accuracy, making them natural choices for long-range target shooting and...

    How well does your FN SPR shoot?

    Made a mistake and went to the local gun shop today, left with an FN SPR A1 20" fluted. I have mostly all Remington and Savage bolt guns in .308. The Winchester action and FN name have always stood a little to me. I read about the hammer forged chrome lined barrel and thought it would take...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Marines to field Colt .45 1911

    Re: Marines to field Colt .45 1911 Colt is going with a set name that been around a bit... Rather have a lighter pistol with more rounds. But rather see American Colts vs imported Springers or rusty Kimbers.
