    Left or Right handed action

    Re: Left or Right handed action The real issue is not whether he is right or left handed, but rather if he is right or left eye dominant. This will be an issue if the dominant eye and the dominant hand are not on the same side, or if you try to use a fire arm from the non dominant eye side...

    moa scope mounts?

    Re: moa scope mounts? Welcome to The Hide. The general idea is that by canting the base forward that you can make sure that the optic can be adjusted to your maximum range with out running out of elevation. Please note that not all optics have the same range of adjustment so that will affect...

    New Here...want to build or buy a new LR bolt gun

    Re: New Here...want to build or buy a new LR bolt gun Welcome to the Hide. Since you are trying to do a combination rifle you face the problem of having a rifle that is light enough to carry in the field, unless you are hunting from a horse or vehicle, and heavy enough to tame some recoil...

    Ar15 1000yd caliber?

    Re: Ar15 1000yd caliber? I don't know what your idea of a "solid 1000 yard performer" is or if you are punching paper or game animals but the .223 is fired to 1k yards from the AR15 at the national highpower championships. It is important to note that these riles have a very fast twist and...

    Rock River Varmint in .223?

    Re: Rock River Varmint in .223? I own 2 of the 24" models and chose the 24" because I shoot iron sights in NRA Highpower competition. The 223 with a 70 to 77 grain bullet shoots ballistically similar to a 308 and will still feed through a magazine if that's important to you. Most of the 80...

    300 WinMag Neanderthal ?

    Re: 300 WinMag Neanderthal ? Ford, Chevy, Dodge. Pick what you want and does the job for you. Nothing wrong with the .300 if that makes you happy. I shoot 2 long range rifles in that caliber and my youngest shoots the 6.5-284 and that works for him.

    Rebarrel Winchester 7mm mag to 300 Win Mag?

    Re: Rebarrel Winchester 7mm mag to 300 Win Mag? Welcome to the hide. If your happy with the rest of the rifle go ahead and get a barrel put on. If you want to change the rifle into a tactical style rifle you may want to get something that has more accessories redily available for it. You...

    300 WM Barrel Life...

    Re: 300 WM Barrel Life... I shoot moly coated bullets in my rifles and it seems to help extend barrel life, but it does take some time and equipment to do. If you don't hand load or it's a casual hunting rifle I wouldn't worry about it. If you have a custom barrel ordered with a longer than...

    Which size barrel to get

    Re: Which size barrel to get Welcome to the hide. You made the comment "I have decided on getting an Accuracy International AE MK III which is a .308. I want to be able to shoot to 1000+ yard or to whatever the limits of the .308 are. I chose .308 due to is wide availability and lower cost...

    Rem.700 build advice...

    Re: Rem.700 build advice... Since the rifle has been a safe queen, you are on a budget, and it sounds like your only wanting to shoot the rifle informaly, if the rifle currently has the optics and mount to shoot to 1k yards I would shoot the rifle as is until you need a new barrel.

    Interested in the 7 STW

    Re: Interested in the 7 STW Much depends on what you consider acceptable accuracy and how hot you let the barrel get. My sporter has a bunch of rounds on it but it's a hunting rifle and I only need enough accuracy to humanely take game. On a competition rifle most barrels need set back and...

    Interested in the 7 STW

    Re: Interested in the 7 STW I own 2 300 win mags and 1 7mm STW. The 300s are heavy customs used for long range shooting but not much walking and the 7mm STW is a light weight factory hunting rifle that gets carried a lot. I have owned a factory 300 sporter and when comparing the 2 sporters I...

    Badger M2008 or other .223 Action Opinions?

    Re: Badger M2008 Opinions What is the course of fire for these events? What are the other 223 shooters using? I shoot NRA High Power and use a 223 quite regularly but I don't take it past 600. The guys that have used it have been using a very fast twist and heavy bullets, 90 grains I think...

    Did I do OK

    Re: Did I do OK A little off the topic but...."my girlfriend said she wanted to try shooting with me." Be glad that wasn't "at me". If she can make a couple sandwiches and throw a couple sodas in the cooler you may have a keeper there. If not can her sister cook? Back on topic there is...
