    Knights M-110 Build Question

    I saw that there are some matching SR-25 stripped uppers and lowers for sale (KNIGHTS ARMAMENT SR-25 Matched Upper & Lower NEW! : AR15 Parts at GunBroker.com) Assuming you had these two parts in your posession (the stripped upper and lower), what specific other parts would you need to complete...

    Winchester Stealth returns in 2013

    Does this have the same barrel contour/profile as the FN SPR? I know FN's SPRs are model 70 actions, but I was wondering if the Stealth is essentially the same thing?

    Rifle Scopes Need opinions on most rugged scopes..

    ACOGs have failed overseas (and in training as well) - they're not invincible - no scope is. They're definitely tough scopes though for sure.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS Parallax knob fell off

    If the OP wants to dish out some serious $$$$$$ - then yes, of course go that route - they are excellent choices.

    Rifle Scopes Need opinions on most rugged scopes..

    I personally know a guy who's Nightforce broke atop his Barret .50 BMG one day at the range. No, this does not mean that Nightforce scopes are not rugged, but I'm just making the point that heavy hitting rifles will always have the potential to make glass and lots of little mechanical...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS Parallax knob fell off

    I'm interested to hear what happens here. I have the 3-15x42 SS mounted on my M1A - it was fine the first time I took it out, but now I'm concerned - wonder how she'll hold up after repeated range trips.

    Remington 700 Police - talk me out of buying one

    Oh I trust me, I'm not disagreeing with you on the usefulness of the varmint contour over the M24/M40 contour. But if Remington offered that same police model only with a 24" heavy M24 contour barrel I think they'd fly off the shelves. Military clones are popular, especially an M24/M40 clone -...

    Can anyone tell me what these binoculars are worth in today's market?

    My elementary school teacher gave me these binoculars back in 1996 (really nice guy). He said he was upgrading and didn't need these anymore and knew that I was really into technology. Anyway, I'm just trying to figure out how much these would be worth in today's market? (see images) The...

    Remington 700 Police - talk me out of buying one

    Good avice - thanks! I actually already have a scope and rings - SWFA SS 3-15X42 FFP and Badger medium rings. The only thing I'd really need is the base and a bipod, but the bipod can wait.

    Remington 700 Police - talk me out of buying one

    Personally, I think it's silly that Remington doesn't offer something more similar to an M-24 - it doesn't need to be an exact copy, but close enough. How hard is it for them to offer a 700 with a 24" M-24 contour barrel in an HS Precision stock?

    Remington 700 Police - talk me out of buying one

    So the only difference between the police model and the SPS Varmint is the stock? That's it?

    Remington 700 Police - talk me out of buying one

    Do police sharpshooters still use this rifle? Do they use varmint contour barrels? Or do they have the thicker M-24 contour?

    Rifle Scopes SS 3-15x42 FFP

    Have you actually looked through the SWFA 3-15x42FFP? I can assure you, the MK4 is not a "huge improvement in glass clarity" over the SWFA SS 3-15x42. If there is a difference, I honestly don't see it. The MK6 line - now that is an improvement in glass and overall quality, but Leupold MK4s are...

    Rifle Scopes NF nxs 3-15 vs SWFA SS 3-15?

    Which the SS 3-15x42 is easily capable of. The SS line of scopes have a long history of being reliable, rugged, and able to track after repeated use after use. The only advantage I see to the Nightforce is the slightly better glass quality - the illumination is overkill and you'll probably...

    Why doesn't Remington offer a 700 with a 24" M24/M40 Profile Barrel?

    I'm half tempted to start the process of piecing together an M24 build - acquiring the parts over time as you did and then having a gunsmith assemble it. For the receiver, would a standard Remington 700 long action receiver work?

    Why doesn't Remington offer a 700 with a 24" M24/M40 Profile Barrel?

    So, if the average citizen cannot purchase an M-24 or if an exact clone built by GAP is too costly, what is the next best thing? 700 5R or 700 Police? (aside from the fact that they're short actions)
