    rem700 5r way overpriced?

    Re: rem700 5r way overpriced? I haven't paid asking price from a gun store in a long time. They're generally willing to negotiate, especially with cash in hand. Cash and a CHL in Texas have gotten me some pretty nice discounts since they don't have to deal with calling in my background check.

    300 win mag vs 6.5x284

    Re: 300 win mag vs 6.5x284 I'd be inclined to get a .300. If you're hunting at long range, the extra energy will be beneficial. Can you kill a whitetail with less than a .300 win mag? Sure, people do it all the time at all sorts of different ranges. But the .300 gives you a little more...

    Frog Lube vs Mpro7 for a carbon cleaner

    Re: Frog Lube vs Mpro7 for a carbon cleaner I haven't used frog lube yet, but ive been using m-pro 7 for a couple of months and have really been pleased with it. It strips carbon well and it does it a lot faster than hoppes, which is what I was using prior

    Rifle Scopes Burris 30mm Signature rings

    Re: Burris 30mm Signature rings I've got them on a .308 aac-sd and a .264 wing mag and they been solid. I really like that I can use them to extend my adjustment range by a decent margin. My brother has them on a .300 win mag and hasn't had any problems.

    AR15 for Hunting?

    Re: AR15 for Hunting? I've been hunting with my colt 6920 since I bought it several years ago. Generally, it's my hog/coyote/varmint rifle so I'm shooting at basically the same stuff you are. I've got an acog on it now, and that is perfect for me. Fast, accurate and deadly. I expected...

    A-Max bullet tips breaking off???

    Re: A-Max bullet tips breaking off??? I run ballistic tip/amax/vmax type bullets almost exclusively in my ARs. I've had exactly one tip break in thousands of rounds. That was after it had been ejected and rechambered several times. I went ahead and shot it on paper at 100 yards and it shot...

    x mark pro trigger

    Re: x mark pro trigger My first one on my sendero adjusted up and down, but when I got it set where I wanted it, it would drop the firing pin when I closed the bolt. didn't trust the trigger after that so I just replaced it with a timney. The xmark in my AAC-SD adjusted down somewhat, but...

    much difference in accuracy?

    Re: much difference in accuracy? My colt 6920 (16" chrome lines barrel) shoots well all the way to 530 yards which is the farthest I've taken it. 2" of barrel aren't going to make a huge difference in velocity. I'd buy the setup you like best and shoot the hell out of it. You'll get a lot...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns German P226

    Re: German P226 My 226 was made here, but my other three sigs are west German. I have the least amount of time on the 226 (most recently purchased), but it's every bit as nice as the German made varieties I have. I don't remember the date code offhand, but it's not a recently made gun since...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns IWB holster favorites

    Re: IWB holster favorites When I first started carrying, I packed a full size 1911 in a milt sparks watch six on whatever belt I had at that time. I was a college student so my budget was a little on the lean side after buying some nice leather for the gun. I bought a Rafter S Gunleather...

    Hornady 178 AMAX 308

    Re: Hornady 178 AMAX 308 I load mine to 2.8" so they run through my magazine. They don't mind the jump at all. I shoot them over 44.5 grains of varget and I'm getting average groups of around .6" through my AAC-SD at 100 yards. I shoot 52 grain amax's through my .22-250 and load them just...

    Sendero SF2 or XCR TAC?

    Re: Sendero SF2 or XCR TAC? I've got a sendero sf2 in .264 win mag and have been pretty impressed with it. It is still pretty stock from the factory, the only thing I've added is a timney trigger and it shoots very well. I've killed several hogs at over 350 yards and didn't feel like the...

    Re: Rem 700 Bolt knob I used phoneix custom rifles for my bolt knob, and I really like the results. I'll happily reccomend them as well. The turnaround time was fast too.

    Duplicating Hornady Factory 6.5 Creedmoor Ammo

    Re: Duplicating Hornady Factory 6.5 Creedmoor Ammo I'll throw in another vote for powder lot. I've seen nodes vary by as much as a grain from lot to lot using benchmark in a .22-250. The lot I currently have seems to be slower than any previous lots I've shot since I need more powder to...

    Rifle Scopes Mil Dot or Nikoplex for 50-100 yard shooting?

    Re: Mil Dot or Nikoplex for 50-100 yard shooting? I have a mil dot version of this scope on one of my ARs. I think it is a good scope for a .22 lr too. Personally, I'd get the mil dot because it gives you additional flexibility for holds. If I remember correctly, the mils are setup for...

    If you could start from scratch, what do you buy?

    Re: If you could start from scratch, what do you buy? Golf is another expensive hobby, especially if you're inclined to adjust your setup much. I got into reloading as a college student so I could afford to shoot. It turned into a money and time pit pretty quickly. There are plenty of...

    45.8 Varget in a 308 w/ 175 SMK

    Re: 45.8 Varget in a 308 w/ 175 SMK I run 44.5 grains of Varget with 178 grain AMAXs and 45 grains with 175 grain MatchKings. Groups tend to open up north of either of those loads and I'm at least half a grain from max with each bullet. I'm using Winchester brass in a Remington AAC-SD with...

    Re: my first bad experience The only problem I've encountered with UPS is they like to smash boxes. Ive received several orders in the las six months that have had boxes smashed significantly. Luckily, the contents have been well packed an have arrived undamaged.
