    New product reveal pending, are you in?

    For those of you who think it will not bump you into Open class in 3-gun, I wouldn't be so sure. Most of the matches I've been to include a line such as: "5.3.3.3 Supporting devices (bipods, etc.) are prohibited." -Fallen Brethern and Hornady Pandemic and Multiple others (most common rule)...

    18" to 20" 243 barrel ?

    My factory 700 won't stabilize the HDY 105gr HPBT. Some people have had luck with the 105 AMaxes though.

    Rifle Scopes Apparent Weakness Of Aimpoint PRO ???

    I bet it was a perfect hit at the perfect joint, I've never seen one fail like that, most I've seen fail have been battery life issues (where it will take months to run out of battery rather than years)

    7x50 binos what would buy

    If you're using IS binos then vibration isn't a big deal.

    700 ADL Rifle

    I have an ADL. It's the same thing as other 700s, just cheaper (and about as cheap as a blank receiver). If I were to start a 700 build, I'd just go down to Academy and pick one with the right bolt face and action length and call it good.

    Image Stabalized Binos

    I just picked up Canon's 8x25 IS binos. I would recommend them, the stabilization is awesome the glass is good enough for most purposes (not as good as the steiner 8X) but the IS makes up for it. You can easily read documents and signage as well as identify animals and targets easier because...

    bipod height

    6-9 is probably better, if you don't shoot in taller grass. I've noticed I've had to raise up higher sometimes depending on terrain and grass.

    Image Stabalized Binos

    Have you compared them with any of the Steiner 8Xs? I looked through a friend's 8x30 from their military line and that's my love for binos now. That glass was very nice!

    How is Canon's 8x25? I don't have a great need for binos but a decent pair would be nice to have.

    Anyone buy from Palmetto State Armory

    They're good, they take forever to ship, but prices are cheap

    7.62 BCG potential issue

    Meh, those tool marks aren't too bad, I personally wouldn't worry about it. There shouldn't be any functional effects.

    Beginner rifle

    I agree with 427Cobra. Except I'd get a .243 instead of .308. Easier to shoot, cheaper to load.

    Twist rates- Faster is better!

    Increased barrel wear, think of it as pushing something up a steeper slope it requires more energy to engrave and twist. Also decreased theoretical accuracy (Lilja Precision Rifle Barrels - Articles: A Look at Bullet Imbalance and Twist) as the faster you spin something out of balance (which...
