    Recommended twist for a .308?

    I have a Remington 700 Tactical, it is a 1-12". It has been cut to 18". It shoots both the 175 SMK and the 168 Hornady BTHP really well. This is a 5 shot group @ 100 with the 175's This is a 5 shot @ 100 with the 168's

    To go short or to not go short? Please help me decide!

    I have a 18" .308 shorty with a Viper PST 4x16x50 FFP. I love the setup, but I don't hunt with it. To me, the 2.5x10x32 would be perfect for a shorty hunting rifle.

    When painting your rifle

    To me it looks better when the action and the barrel are both coated. For my first rifle that was coated in a tactical grey duracoat, I did not do the scope base. I have another rifle in the works and I am trying to decide whether to cerakote the base to match the barreled action, or leave...

    6mm rounds in 20" bbl rifles? Like to see/hear about build and results

    I sent my Remington 700 VLS to Russell at Scout Supply Co for them to shorten the barrel to 16.5". It is a factory 1-9.125" twist barrel. I am planning on shooting 87gr VMax's through it. I hope to have it back by the end of the month.

    Rifle Scopes suggestions for a 22 lr scope upgrade

    I am a Vortex fan. I have a couple of their lower end Crossfire II's on my .22s and I couldn't be happier. I found a 4x16x50 ill mil dot that I have on my CZ 455 and I have a 6x24x50 mil dot on my Kimber 82G. Adjustments are precise and they are very clear. I have a Viper on my .243 and a...
