    Area 53 Snipers Hide Semi Auto

    Did anyone pick up one of the Area 53 upper/lower receivers back in the day? If so, what did you build it into. I went .260 Rem.

    Everyday Sniper Podcast Sig BDX System AAR

    lowlight, can you confirm this is a stand alone system? Once its set up with the phone app and ballistic information is dumped into the scope then you would not need a LRF in the field? Thinking hunting applications and saving weight by not carrying a LRF.

    Tikka CTR .260 case/chamber spec help needed

    Correct the virgin brass overall length is 2.200" to 2.206" Looks like I have some long necks on this brass.I am able to load to .008 off the lands with the 130 VLDT's. I guess I better do a BUNCH of trimming and get this brass to 2.025" and run some tests.

    Factory Noveske N6 question

    I have four Noveske rifles, of which one is a 14.5" N6. The N6 really is not something that special. It is just a rebadged Armalite AR10 with a Noveske Polygonal barrel. John Noveske was a shooter. When I was in his shop having a 12" Crusader upper built for My M-16, he said to me, "now your...

    Area53 Limited Edition Sniper's Hide Lowers

    Well looks like I won't be getting mine. Seems the Post Office released it to "SOMEONE" without a signature. It wasn't my FFL and now the USPO has no idea who it was given to! Charles at Area 53 has initiated the proper paperwork so I guess I'll see what the Postal Inspector can come up with...
