    Canada is not free, our SIG rifles were nationally banned by the police today.

    TO the OP: how do they know who has what rifle? I assume you must have a long gun registry for them to know who's turned them in and who hasn't? Let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks a registry is anything but a way to confiscate your guns. This sucks!!!

    Recommendations for a Removable Muzzle Brake

    I LOVE my badger FTE (full size). It works like a champ and its easy to get on and off. The only down side is it doesn't fit onto a standard threaded barrel. The barrel has to be milled down at the end because the Badger slide over the end a bit like a sleeve before the threads engage. Its looks...

    That Love / Hate thing again, GAP 10 with 4895 and 175 SMK's

    Holy crap SAKO, that's some good shooting! Nice to see the brass change seemed to help.

    BTW - what is this "operators beard" thingy? I've never heard that term before.

    Did I screw up and buy the wrong R700?

    After doing a cursory google search for the Rem 700 DM rifle - everything I read suggests that the DBM system is a function of the stock and Rem bottom metal rather than anything to do with the receiver. Exactly as if you bought the HS BM, or CDI or whoever. I'm betting the receiver is a stock...

    While I disagree with deleting or filtering posts - there is no such thing as freedom of speech on private internet forums. The 1st Amendment only applies to what the gov't can prevent you from doing. It has nothing to do with what individuals and companies can do to limit your speech. Both...

    Best group of your life

    Not as good as some have posted here, but I'm pretty proud of this since its a 20" factory barrel .308 Rem 700 SPS tactical. Mark @ SAC did a little magic to it..... During Load development after getting the rifle back: 645 yds 1000 yds. Bottom 2 were sighters, then made a self-correction...

    Rifle Scopes Try to educate this dumbass on FFP

    Not to get into semantics, but the reticle doesn't stay the same size. The reticle actually grows and shrinks with the magnification up or down. What stays the same at all mags is what the reticle subtends. In other words, 1 mil is still a mil at 5x as it is at 25x. In SFP scopes, the...

    RCBS ChargeMaster Combo 1500

    I just shake mine out thoroughly and then use a small thin brush to brush out any residue. Seems to work fine switching between powders. I'm anal about safety though and am scared shitless to accidently mix powders in the chargemaster. So my technique is to only ever use one type of powder...

    That Love / Hate thing again, GAP 10 with 4895 and 175 SMK's

    Thanks, that helps. But this part doesn't make sense (from your link): I thought just the opposite was true that semis generally have looser chambers than bolt guns because of the need for rapid feed and extraction.

    That Love / Hate thing again, GAP 10 with 4895 and 175 SMK's

    I know this is more of a reloading forum question, but it applies to the GAP issues stated by the OP..... but what do small base dies do that regular FL dies do not and what about the GAP configuration requires SB dies? Sorry, that was actually two questions. I'm not saying the advice to go to...

    Rifle Scopes Cheap rifle scope on nice gun?

    AS others have said, I would definitely put your money into a nice scope, especially if you are shooting at a fixed range with known distances. Maybe think about an LRF later if you start to get into hunting with the rifle seriously. But scope first. One thing to consider.... even at shooting...

    Disappointing that a rifle this expensive and well regarded is so finicky.

    Out of curiosity, what do you base that knowledge of scope engineering on?

    Rifle Scopes Need scope advice for unknown distances

    Uhhh, ok. That sorta makes sense. I'm no expert and I haven't even stayed in a Holiday Inn recently, so I'll take your word for it. BUT.... would the scope not like the sudden stop as the rifle slams into your shoulder more than the much less abrupt movement associated with a MB? I get the...

    Rifle Scopes Need scope advice for unknown distances

    I'm a bit confused here. Why would a muzzle brake be harder on a scope than a rifle without a MB? That seems counter-intuitive to me. I have a .308 with a Badger FTE brake and the felt recoil impulse is almost zero compared to before I installed the brake. If I'm not feeling the recoil, then...
