    Help me build my long distance shooting range

    My family owns a large parcel of wooded land out of state that I visit probably 5-6 weeks per year, mostly in the summer; no neighbors within a 5 mile radius, no zoning restrictions, noise ordinances, etc. I recently had a straight swath cut through the woods that is approximately 750 yards long...

    Need some help with my first 308 reloads - sticky bolt/ flat primers, low velocity

    Cerakote to match the green in GAP camo

    Hi folks. I just ordered a McMillan A5 stock for my Savage and got it in GAP camo. I would like to Cerakote my barreled action to match the green in the camo and was wondering if anyone knew what the closest match was? The woman on the phone from McMillan said she did not know. I am assuming it...

    Rifle Scopes Newb needs help with Leupold Mark 4

    Newb here with a question..I'm fairly new to long range shooting. My friend has a 800 yard range that he invites me to a couple times a year so I just built myself a Savage 308 heavy barrel with a McMillan stock and finally topped it off with a Leupold Mark 4 3.5-10x40 M1 Illumintaed scope. I...
