    Bushnell conx vs sig kilo 2200

    I just ordered a conx through walmart of all places. After the rebate it will be about $435.

    Rifle Scopes Need help mounting a scope. Which rings?

    Thanks for the heads up. You definitely aren't the first person on the internet that this has happened to.

    Rifle Scopes Need help mounting a scope. Which rings?

    Thanks everybody. Ordered Seekins low rings. Do you use a thread locking compound on any of the scope ring threads? Or just for the scope base?

    Which 6.5 Creedmoor dies for a beginner with Lee Challenger Kit?

    Brand new to reloading. I'm planning to order a Lee Breech Lock Challenger kit. What is a good set of dies to order? I had been watching the 8541 Tactical reloading series and I believe John recommended the 'Pacesetter" 3 die set from Lee(if I'm not mistaken), but they don't seem to make that...

    Rifle Scopes Need help mounting a scope. Which rings?

    I'm not sure I want to get fancy with the inserts and such. Seems like complexity is the enemy of durability much of the time. Is TPS TSR 30mm low a good ring for what I'm trying to do? Or am I likely to have similar success with Burris XTR or SWFA SS-Tac rings? They look beefier in a way...

    Rifle Scopes Need help mounting a scope. Which rings?

    I need to mount a SWFA fixed 10x scope to a Savage Model 10 Fcp-Sr that comes with a factory installed base. Obviously this is a budget setup, but which rings should I buy? Also, any advice for relative neophyte about how to do the job properly? I've only ever mounted scopes on one piece AR...

    Please help me choose a budget rifle to learn on.

    So, I have the Savage, SWFA 10x, and Harris BRM-S. Now I need a set of rings, and I think I want to try a muzzle brake. I've been looking at the JP recoil eliminator. The precision rifle blog did a pretty interesting test of a bunch of brakes and the JP did ridiculously well in the "staying...

    Please help me choose a budget rifle to learn on.

    So I stopped by my local gun store today to fondle a Tikka Ctr. Wonderful gun. I'll probably wind up with one some day. The 24" barreled Tikkas have gone out of stock everywhere. But then I looked down the line and saw that he had just taken receipt of a Savage Model 10 Fcp-sr 6.5 24". Nice and...

    Please help me choose a budget rifle to learn on.

    Definitely going to get into handloading. I'm pretty good with tools and precise measurements, as I've been working with lathes, mills, and print reading for my trade school program. Looking to try to become a millwright. So I think I can manage not to blow up a gun in my face. I can see how...

    Please help me choose a budget rifle to learn on.

    Do you have a good idea for a torque value on those, off hand? Edit to add: Internet searches are turning up all sorts of different recommendations for torque values. Everything from 10 in/lbs apiece, to 35 or higher. Or maybe I'll just do what feels right LOL...

    Please help me choose a budget rifle to learn on.

    I appreciate all the good advice. So much to think about that I'm getting paralysis by analysis. I dug a cheap 3-10x BSA catseye scope that somebody gave me years ago out of a closet. It fits the 1" rings that are currently on my M70, but has better eye relief than the old Bushnell. I'm...

    Please help me choose a budget rifle to learn on.

    Thanks for all the replies. Gives me a lot to think about. I didn't realize that brakes were available sans threads, and finding a light load isn't something I had considered. That may make my .264 a more viable choice for what I'm looking to do. I'd have to take off the front sight...

    Please help me choose a budget rifle to learn on.

    I suppose this is recurring thread that gets posted around here, so sorry about that. ----------- Goals: I'd like to learn practical application of bolt action rifle marksmanship, to include a foundation for long range accuracy(1000 meters). Rifle should be light enough to carry into the...

    Budget Bipod for Daughter's M&P15-22?

    My 10 year old has done a great job learning iron sights over the last few years, so now it's time to graduate to optics. Looks like she's getting my 1x4 SWFA with Mil-quad/Mil turrets to start. This is going to make the gun even heavier though, so I'd like to be able to attach a bipod when she...
