    cold Steel

    I have more than a few Cold Steel knives. Most of them are from the early 1990s. My favorite is my older Trial Master with a stag handle. Decent knives, however in my opinion, their quality is not as good now as it was in the past. It all depends on what you are looking for in a knife. As with...

    Questions for AI owners

    I have a MKIII and the barrel is also stamped 7.62x51. Not an issue. I fire .308, factory and reloads with not issues at all. I actually check with the folks and Mile High and AI USA and there is not issue with using .308s in the 7.62x51 with standard loads. If you start running hot loads you...

    "EddieG1979" aka Tactical Rifles Shooter

    Well said sir. 20 years ago someone set me on the right path by showing forgiveness and grace. It was not easy, for either of us, but I am eternally grateful.

    My humble introduction

    Chris, Welcome. I am pretty new as well. A lot to learn from the knowledgeable folks on Hide. The 10/22 is the first long gun that many rifle enthusiasts still own. So you have made a great start.

    Accuracy International Questions

    I recently purchase my AE MKIII from Mile High. They were great to work with. I ended up purchasing a Nightforce as well.

    I need a class because clearly I am doing it all wrong

    I'm sending my AI AE MKIII back, canceling my Surgeon order and taking up knitting. He sets the bar to high.

    Back to reloading, what press???

    For a progressive press, I am happy with my Dillon 550, I have had it for 9 years. Knowing what I know now, I probably would have gone with the 650. I use the Dillon primarily for pistols and 5.56. For my long range rifles, I use the Forster Co Ax. It makes changing dies a breeze and loads very...

    GunsAmerica supports TR law suit against the Hide

    The BBB gives them a "C" rating now, however when I was researching custom gun makers in early January the rating was a "F". Dave must have resolved some issues, or threatened to sue them. It was that rating that first made me suspicious and doing a little more research I found the Hide and the...

    GunsAmerica supports TR law suit against the Hide

    Found this article from GunsAmerica supporting TR suit against the Hide. I think they have confused the facts. Here is the link: TacticalRifles.net Sues The Snipers Hide ? The Truth About Internet Bullies

    My disappointing review of my TR .308

    The reality is that a couple of years ago there were some pretty good reviews of TR rifles and the owner was quoted left and right by various gun "gurus". There is actually a glowing review of TR still on that other "sniper" forum. And it sounds like Rooney has been pretty litigious towards any...

    Talk me into a TRG22

    Fireman, My first .308 was the TRG-22 that I purchased in 2004 for $2,250 brand new. After thousands of rounds, I decided I wanted a change. Last month I purchase the AI AE MKIII since the prices had come down. I have taken the AE to the gun club 5 times so far. Probably not enough time with...
