    Boyds Tacticool Stock review/ 700 SPS Varmit 308 (Pic Heavy)

    I like this version better than the version on my Mark ll TR, now on that one I do wish the wood were harder. I bought the heavier bottom plate for it. I was hoping to get out to the range today but woke up to rain. My club had its annual meeting yesterday at the range so that was a no go for...

    Boyds Tacticool Stock review/ 700 SPS Varmit 308 (Pic Heavy)

    I didn't make it out like I thought I would. This weekend looks to be about right to test it. The weather here has been nice all week. I know the feeling on stock options. I like the JAE stocks but the price don't like me at this point. Same with McMillans. The real test will come when I can...

    Boyds Tacticool Stock review/ 700 SPS Varmit 308 (Pic Heavy)

    In my search for information I found practically nothing on this stock with regards to a 700. People ask the question but no answers is typical, just references to the rimfire versions. So I was impressed enough to put this out there for anyone else who may have given this a thought. This is...

    Savage Mark ll TR Range Report

    Walmart is making a come back on the ammo trail. I've picked up a few boxes(Federal 325 boxes) both locally and out of town. Up in Lewisville, they only put a few boxes on the shelf but keep the cases under the counter out of sight. Also Gander Mountain has also been getting it in. Picked up a...

    Member Link Up Houston area shooters -- Bayou Rifles HAS OPENED MEMBERSHIP UP

    If someone is shooting at 600yds you can't shoot at 1000yds or if someone is shooting at 200yds you can't shoot on the 300yd. Certain distances dictate what part of the range can't or can be used depending on who is shooting what distance at the time you want to. The range has practice sessions...

    Member Link Up Houston area shooters -- Bayou Rifles HAS OPENED MEMBERSHIP UP

    I signed on in July, just got my notice a couple of days ago. There was an orientation I ran into a couple of weeks back when shooting at Addicks with a friend who is a member. I have no idea if this orientation will be just as big. Considering all the times I go, I never really see a lot of...

    Rifle Scopes Can you recomend an inexpensive beginner's scope for an AR?

    I can vouch for the APT. It started out on a 20" AR and tracked well and was clear. I usually shoot it maxed out as I usually don't shoot less than 100yds with that rifle. It was replaced by a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 and you can tell the difference especially in the turrets and their rotation...

    S&W M&P 15-22 Review

    Got one myself, and in its latest config, it mimics my 16" AR. People are always asking about that rifle when I take it out. Very fun to shoot and the kids took to it quickly. Mine prefers Mini-Mags the most. Just don't ask me how longs its been since I've seen them on a shelf, what I do have in...

    My JP rifle groups at 200 yards

    Damn nice groups! Aren't we supposed to get better with age? What cha' think groups will look like when your 60? Don't answer that, you got a while before you get there. :)

    question on AR/Varget load?

    Although the bullet I'm using is lighter, 55gr Hornady SP w/ Cannelure, my best group's with Varget, using 25gr, CCI BR-4 primers, and my once fired LC brass grouped 1.12in at 100yds and 1.9in at 200yds(outside edge), and that is a minimum load from my Lymans manual. Hodgdon's site called for...

    Savage Mark ll TR Range Report

    The Lapua ammo I have comes with a light coat of oil on it, gives a distinct smell after it's shot. It also shoots about the best groups at distance, could be on to something. I don't have the problems with mis-feeding the last round or jamming. What I did have was mis-feeds(1st round) right off...

    Sorry, I actually quoted elfster1234, that was a question from the OP. I only wanted the question he asked from his post so sorry about that and sorry elfster1234, I was responding to your question.

    from elfster1234: "BTW, for those that do reload......... what was going through your mind when you fired your very first round of reloaded ammo? did you have a string attached to your trigger standing 30feet away?? Hahahahaha, totally kidding!!! I'll tell you what was going through my mind...

    Savage Mark ll TR Range Report

    You know, I just went back out with it a couple of weeks ago for the 2nd time and yes, I did make a change. This range has little animal gongs all the way out to 115yds and I actually let my buddy have at it first. He's a good shot and wasn't making hits like I knew the rifle was capable of. I...

    Best option for mounting a sling to my AR?

    I don't see any issue with that, if anything, it'll help the rifle be in the position you are expecting it to be in.
