Has it really reached the point that open carry and physical appearance require the approval from someone on the Hide to be permissible? So who is the Lord of Carry, the Fashion Police Chief, and Physical Fitness Coach that we need to submit our requests to and obtain approvals from?

The difference between a quality precision tool and a cheap "Harbor Freight" type tool is like night and day. A quality precision tool is delivered with a certification of accuracy while you won't have a clue as to what you have in accuracy with a cheap tool. There is no way you can assess a...

You must be related to Chuck Norris.

Just have him get his bullets kissed by a prince...

Bad idea as most drones only have a battery life ranging between 8 and 20 minutes. I realize that what I'm about to offer is out of most people's lanes but you will find it effective and fairly inexpensive. As I've been working with drones, video surveillance, and shooting for a long time...

If the assailant is close enough for you to need a knife it's much too late to be making a call. I'm a believer in the Karambit. A slashing swing does considerable damage and the weapon is difficult to dislodge from your hand. If you really learn to use one they are deadly. They are really...

Precision tools require precision calibration and certification to be deemed accurate. Any old set of calipers or mic's that have not been professionally calibrated and certificated cannot be trusted for accuracy. They might be close but not dead nuts accurate. When working with stuff that...

If you currently have nothing and can afford only a little my suggestion is to look at common brand production rifles in your price range with a proven history of accuracy. Some brands that come to mind are Savage, Ruger, and Howa. All three of them are relatively inexpensive with models noted...

My guess has Leupold getting the grumbles because they don't cater to a very small market of precision shooters. Probably 90% of hunters will take their game at distances that could be handled with open sights so they buy reasonably priced scopes that will get the job done mounted on reasonably...

Missed the comparator part:( I've had a few get pretty tight with a "wet" chamber, which is prolly what you experienced. Didn't blow the primers on those but the bolt was pretty tight after sending it. Let us know how things work out after the dry day shoot. Got 16" of snow last night here...

Very informative thread. Thanks to those with the expertise for posting!

Your cartridge measurements are worrisome. I just opened a brand new box of Hornady 140gr 6.5CR A-Max because after reading your post alarms went off all over the place. The 6.5CR 140gr A-Max should measure close to 2.81", which is within .0005" of what I just measured. That's also what is...

Howa makes extremely good rifles at a price point well below what they are worth. Some get a little irritated about buying Japanese either because of being foreign or because the Japanese deny their citizens firearms. The people complaining have no problem buying an A.I. though, and their...

Thinking the press is concerned with accuracy in reporting is like believing in the tooth fairy. The word "snipers" has a far greater impact for readership draw in a headline than the words malicious or irresponsible shooters. As for the brass, for a moment let's say it was 7.62x39. If it was...

Thanks big time for that link!! I've been all over the web looking for replacement foam for a couple of cases and just about everywhere wants big $$ for just a little bit of foam. Kudos to you.
