    Project Appleseed

    I am referring to an adjustable aperture sight set manufactured by Tech Sights. Tech-SIGHTS Precision Shooting Accessories The AQT target are scaled for distance, and the farthest scale appears quite small, all with red ink. There is no shame in using a scoped rifle if that is what your eyes...

    Project Appleseed

    I attended an Appleseed shoot in Maryland. It was informative, fun, and rewarding. I recommend that if you attend, you sight your rifle in on a bench before you go. Also, have an easily adjustable canvas style military sling already installed. They encourage the use of iron sights and they...

    CDI bottom metal for Rem 700

    At $260 for the CDi bottom metal and the stock inletting and back in 1 week, what is not to like? Shortening the receiver bolts and trimming the release lever are trivial tasks that can be done it a few minutes with a Dremel.

    Need Suggestions on DBM for Remmy 700 5r Milspec - stock

    I sent my 5R's HS Precision stock to CDi and for $60 they did the inletting for me and did a great job of it in just over 1 week. The fitting on my end was trivial. CDi also makes a solid loading block to use instead of a magazine for loading onesies into the breach. Some might argue that by the...

    Where to find Remington 700 5r milspec .308

    I started out with an EGW 20moa picatinny rail and TPS TSR tactical 30mm alloy steel low rings, but have since gone to Badger rail and rings that I bought used off of this forum's Post Exchange. I don't use a cheek rest on my 5R; it fits me fine the way it is. The two things that I did that...

    Where to find Remington 700 5r milspec .308

    Found mine at a LGS. While you are scraping your coins together, don't forget to account for a decent 20moa rail and set of rings for your scope, and well as a quality bipod, easily another $250 to $300.

    Spotting Scope For 200 Yard Paper Target Shooting

    I have the Konus 20-60x80 also, and I have had no problems spotting .223 holes on an NRA black target at 300yds. For the money, you can't do much better. Granted, there are better optics out there for more money, so the question is, what are you planning to use it for in the future, and how much...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 10x vs swfa 10x

    I have a SWFA 10x42HD on my .308 rifle. I started out with the regular SWFA 10x and liked it, but when I wanted to go to mil/mil turrets, I upgraded to the HD and I like it even more. I got a new Bushy 3200 Tactical 10x for $120 new that I put on my Savage MK II for long range .22LR practice. I...

    What color cerakote?? Let's see some pics

    I didn't like the stainless look on my Rem 700 5R so I went for a simple armor black cerakote finish on the receiver, barrel, and bolt. It is nothing fancy, but I like the black much better.

    Hog Rifle for a Non-Hunting freind

    I use my RC k98 byf 8mm Mauser for hog hunting, and the S&B 196gr SP bullets puts them on their butts consistantly. The 4x28 Leopold scout scope makes acquisition of moving hogs easy. Definitely not a set-up that you'll find ready to go at the local sporting goods store, but for hog stopping, it...

    What scope are you running on you 22?

    I am using a Bushnell 3200 10x Tactical mil/mil that I picked up form Midway on sale for $119 delivered after a Bushy rebate. I like it except for the fact that is has no parallax adjustment. I would have opted for a SWFA SS 10x if I didn't get such a deal on the Bushy. I use the Burris...

    Gunsmithing HK G3 match grade barrel

    I love my G3 clone, but all it will ever be is an awesome battle rifle capable of 200yd body doa accuracy. ORD is right that even the PSG-1 and the MSG90 were never much better than 1moa rifles and cost a forture if you can find one. Your money is better spent on a different platform.

    Gunsmithing 5R .308 vs. B&C tactical medalist

    I had the same issue after I got my stock inletted for CDi bottom metal. The action screws require fitting and must be shortened sufficiently.
