    Need help deciding on a purchase

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I decided to just keep the Remington for the time being. Now if only I could store my rifle on campus so going shooting wouldn't involve driving about 90 miles total... (Campus to house to range and back)

    Rock solid chassis!!!!!!

    How long does it take for Todd to respond to emails/Facebook messages? I sent him an email about ordering one of his stocks a couple of days ago (7/14) and he hasn't responded.

    Need help deciding on a purchase

    I was planning on living on campus all four years or live in an apartment senior year. My house is about 45 minutes to an hour from the college.

    Need help deciding on a purchase

    With my money from graduating high school and money left over from expected tuition, I was toying with the idea of selling most my Remington 700 (I'd keep the scope, bipod, and sling) and between those three sources, buy a DTA SRS A1. I talked it over with my dad and he mentioned how recent it...

    Suppressors Help me select a 30 cal can.

    Thankfully I found another Class 3 dealer not far from here. About an hour away compared to about 10 minutes, but at least they're willing to form 3 a can in. Anyone heard of Altra Firearms?

    Dunhams is being pretty outrageous

    For shits and giggles, I decided to go to my local Dunhams today and noticed that they have two boxes of 308 on the shelves. The one on the right has been there since about January/February. I'm amazed that they haven't lowered their prices. This stuff isn't even match ammo. The one on the...

    Suppressors Help me select a 30 cal can.

    So I found out that they won't Form 3 anything in right now. The owner said that he doesn't want to go through all the paperwork and the wait time at the moment. So that brings me down to Surefire's recent 7.62 can, the SOCOM762-RC and the Gemtech Sandstorm. Which one would be better for...

    Suppressors Help me select a 30 cal can.

    I'm planning on getting a suppressor, but unfortunately, they don't stock ones from TBAC. I'm going to ask them if they can special order, but if they don't/can't they do stock Surefire, Gemtech, AAC, and Silencerco suppressors. I'm looking for best repeatability, least amount of POI shift, and...

    Help with recoil management

    I figured out my problem. Apparently, I was craning my neck too far forward or my shoulders weren't in the correct position. For some odd reason between shooting groups, I decided to roll my shoulders forward and most of my recoil troubles are gone. Who woulda' thunk?

    Mcree's Precision Mag + Chassis: Tough loading first round?

    I've been running a Mcree's precision chassis and 5 round mag for a couple of months now and have noticed that with a full magazine, it's very hard to load the first round from the magazine. For comparison, I've noticed that in YouTube videos it looks really easy to cycle the bolt on a full...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce bikini cover fitting on SWFA SS 5-20

    How well do the Nightforce bikini's fit on the SWFA SS 5-20? I'm currently running a pair of BC flip caps, but after breaking two pairs that were on another scope, I don't really trust them.

    Rifle Scopes A couple of questions that are unrelated to each other

    I didn't fee like starting up two threads side by side, so I'm just going to make one thread on both of them. First is why are some guys running just the front flip cover on their scope. I've seen the guys on Art of the Precision Rifle and Lowlight running that setup in the online training...

    I assume this is what you purchase to measure groups ?

    If you get a pair of calipers, I'd recommend Mitutoyo calipers. Best in the business in my opinion. They've held within tolerance (+/- 0.001) and I check them against gauge blocks monthly in my machine shop. Best part about them is that they maintain their zero when they turn off, so you...
