    Recommendations for new stock/scope for Rem 700

    Re: Recommendations for new stock/scope for Rem 700 Sorry for the lack of replies, been out of pocket for a couple of weeks. It looks like his primary use is going to be varmints up to small hogs. Mt AI, I'd already pointed him at the Loopy 4x14 with a BDC. I'll pass all y'alls...

    Taking up the trigger slack

    Re: Taking up the trigger slack Depending on 1 or 2 stage trigger, I'll take up the slack on the breath I'm shooting on (single stage) or take up the slack at least two breaths prior on 2 stage. It's what ever YOU are most comfortable with and your ability to do it repetitively...

    Recommendations for new stock/scope for Rem 700

    Friend just called me and asked for a recommendation for a replacement stock for a Remington 700 SA ADL in .223. Also he is looking for a new (better) scope. Recommendations appreciated! I've looked for HS Precision take offs, but they seem to have all disappeared. Thoughts on B&C #2958...

    FGMM 175 typical muzzle velocities?

    Re: FGMM 175 typical muzzle velocities? Those numbers do seem high. I've never gotten 2700fps out of any FGMM 175s, and concur that the chrono might be the issue. Agree with the others, do real world and back the velocities in.

    Pelican case for iPad

    Some of you know I've played with an iPad a time or two and can't type on it worth a damn... So I'm sitting next to a guy on the airplane and we get to talking and he breaks one of these out. http://s252.photobucket.com/albums/hh1/OldNFO/2012-08-07181205.jpg Turns out it's a Pelican iPad...

    Looking for help locating a gun

    I'm asking for assistance in location a certain revolver. It's possibly lost forever, but I'm asking just in case one of you might be able to help out. No, this one was never mine. Most of the guns I've let get away were through my own doing. This lost firearm is being sought by a lady I've...
