    Why Isn't the 7mm more popular? 7mm Rem Mag vs .300 Win mag

    Oh Oh reloading your own is a must! Hows the costs on reloading? I'd imagine it's pretty close

    Why Isn't the 7mm more popular? 7mm Rem Mag vs .300 Win mag

    Why isn't the 7mm mag more popular? At my local stores it's the same price or cheaper than .300 ammunition, it goes subsonic at greater distant, match bullets have a greater ballistic coefficient, and they retain more energy past 1000 yards. I hear they don't kick as much as well. Should I get...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Dirty 1911 Pictures

    I fired 100 fmj before the mud, and then 100 after. And there was 400 cast lead rounds I reloaded and fired last time, I ran a bore snake through the barrel but that's it. I think it's been longer than that since I've cleaned it though. I have some auto grease in it and it runs smooth. I only...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Dirty 1911 Pictures

    Took this puppy out shooting today, It started life out as a $400 stainless springfield mil spec I bought a 6 months ago, someone's "gunsmith" friend dropped in a wilson combat trigger and lost springs and pins (even though it still functioned). So I took the liberty of finding replacement...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 3-15 or 5-20?

    I'm getting into police style marksmanship competition (tactical shooting usually within 300 yards, moving targets, partially concealed, a little faster paced) and I'm trying to decide which scope I should get. I will use the rifle for hunting and long range targets as well so I want the scope...

    Rifle Scopes What Scope?

    I kinda like the kahles but are those turrets adjustable? And that swfa does look like a good choice... might it be to much magnification for me though?

    Rifle Scopes What Scope?

    I was actually looking at the nightforces first, but between the 2nd focal plane and 30 oz; I'm looking for something a little more practical.

    Rifle Scopes What Scope?

    What scope is most durable, and best for me? Rifle is a .308 20" barrel, used for long range targets, police style sniper tournaments, and mountain hunting up to about 300 yards. I want something that is Durable (*reliability is most important to me), with FFP reticle, and preferably with...

    Rifle Scopes What scope for Recce?

    If price is the same which is the more durable, most clear optic? The SWFA SS HD 1-4x24 Tactical 30mm Riflescope, or the Leupold 1.5-5x20 Mark 4 MR/T 30mm Riflescope? I can get them new for about the same price (leupold a little cheaper)...

    Rifle Scopes Most Durable Optics.

    What's the most durable low power scope (fixed 3x/4x, or a variable 1,2, or 3, to 7,8,9, or even 10) for under $1000? What I like so far is the Ta11 acog, and various 1-4's. But which make and model do you think is the most robust and durable scope? Also, keeping it around 16 oz if not lighter...
