I am right handed, but I am left-eye dominant. Is this important for firearms marksmanship? I have read archery articles, for example, that suggest that left-eye dominant archers should shoot left-handed, even if that's your weak hand. I may have answered my own question: the following article...

Re: XLR Chassis Stock How much gunsmithing is required to assemble an XLR rifle? Can I buy parts (barrel, action, trigger, etc) and bolt everything together, or is a bunch of precision machining required?

Re: Caliber Choices - Comparison and Applications I read online that 6mm BR is a superior cartridge because it has short, fat brass. Why is that important?

260 Rem is actually .264". 300 WSM is actually .308. There are many other examples.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread Ah. I thought only the 6.5 CM was based on the 308. My bad.

Re: Finished some .416 Barrett ammo today How long did it take to do all 100 rounds?

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread Since they already have a 308 bolt I wonder why they're talking about a 260 Rem kit instead of 6.5 Creedmoor. You wouldn't need a new bolt as I understand it, just a barrel and magazine so the kit could be cheaper.

Re: Idea! Official DTA SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread Is the only difference between the SRS and Covert the barrel length and rail length? And what exactly is the Hunter? It's nowhere on the DTA website. I'm not seeing 7WSM or 260 Rem kits either. I had another question about supposed...
