    LEO hide building help

    Some of this screen material. You can put it in a window, as long as you aren't backlit, you can't see in, but you can see out. (that's why you have thumbtacks). It is also light enough to have very minimal affect on trajectory...

    In Another Shocking Revelation…

    They do not release that information to Police. Is it stupid to use those services? Yes, we are in agreement.

    Carbon 6 Barrels

    If memory serves, Carbon 6 uses McGowan blanks, which used to be pretty good, but there have been rumblings over the interwebs that their quality has slipped considerably, which would explain the same slip in quality at carbon 6. They would likely be better off going with Shaw barrels, if their...

    Remington xm-3 vs Remington 40XS

    To me, it depends what you're going to do with it. If it's going to see field use as well as range use, then I would say the XM-3. If it's going to be almost exclusively a range rifle, then the 40XS. Honestly, with what a repro would cost to build either way, I'd just build a .308 to the specs I...

    FAFO

    Pistol shots to the noggin don't normally result in "pink mist". Very rarely will you get an exit with a typical semi auto round. Full house 10mm, magnum revolver rounds etc... will frequently exit, bullet dependent.

    Killed by a fellow democrat because they wandered off the plantation on some far left principles.

    Tripod Help

    I have a BOG death grip. It is a tremendous value, however, it is too short for me while standing (I'm just over 6'2"). My work rig is a pig saddle set up. It's an awesome piece of kit. I put together an ultra lite carbon fiber tripod with a cheesy injection molded clamp that I modified. Very...

    New scope for a western hunt?

    The ATACR 4-16 is very highly regarded, glass quality in that model has never been an issue (to my knowledge). Other FFP scopes you might consider are the Tract Toric and Maven 2.5-15 models. They are both high quality LOW made scopes

    Christensen Evoke

    Lots of manufacturers make lots of claims. Regurgitating what is on their website doesn't make it fact. That being said. The reviews I've seen are positive. The machining pretty well done with much of the variation attributed to the finish applied. It appears you have had great success with it...

    Christensen Evoke

    How many actions have you measured, and by what method to make this declaration of exact measurements? Because, that isn't the experience of a few folks that have built rifles with them.

    Short, Accurate Ohio Deer Rifle: Bergara or Tikka?

    Howa mini action in 350 legend. Comes with a 16.5" threaded barrel. Far superior to the ruger product. Tikka is an excellent option, though there is a lot of unused space in that action, which is nothing but useless weight.

    New scope for a western hunt?

    Most hunters today are overscoped. I think you have a pretty good list, though I would add the two of the MK4HD scopes, the 2.5-10 and the 4.5-18. I have an Leica Aimplus 2.5-15x56 SFP, it is a fine scope, but I dislike the windage. It is not a deal breaker as the only time I touch it, is...
