    Gunsmithing Cerakote vs DuraCoat

    Re: Cerakote vs DuraCoat I've been painting custom bikes and stuff for 40 years and agree with himaster. A good quality automotive or industrial finish will work as good as anything. Sherwin Williams makes a industrial paint line called Polane thats as good as anything you can put on a rifle...

    Rifle Scopes Hawke Sidewinder 30 Tactical

    Re: Hawke Sidewinder 30 Tactical I use a Hawke Varmint SF 4X16 side focus on one of my rifles and it works as advertised. I can also tell you that Hawke has some of the best customer service that I have ever seen. The last scope that I had from them broke and from the time I sent it back to...

    Member Link Up HELLO FROM VIRGINIA

    Re: HELLO FROM VIRGINIA I've fished Kerr several times and always did pretty good there. I've been looking hard in Pittsylvania County, kind of half way between kerr and Smith Mountain Lake. That area seems to be semi reasonably priced. Are there any ranges in that area that you can shoot...

    Re: HELLO FROM VIRGINIA Thanks for the input guys, I'm trying to sell a Bass boat and some other stuff now to get enough cash together to move back to Va. I just want a place out in a county that you can shoot on and have no restrictions. Being close to a good Bass lake (got two boats) would...

    Re: HELLO FROM VIRGINIA I'm thinking about moving from North Carolina back to Virginia and I'm looking for a gun friendly and low cost of living county and maybe a job for an old guy. Anyone got any recommendations? I'm retired and can't afford the Northern Va. area so that's out all ready.

    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    Re: show some pics of your rimfire sticks!! How's the Hawke scope working for you? I had to return a Hawke scope that was on a RWS 48 pellet rifle and they are good folks to deal with.

    M118LR ammo question

    Re: M118LR ammo question Yep, it's annealed, can't say for sure but I think it's the same as the match brass also. I just weighed a LC LR case mfg. in 04 against a 168 LC Match case mfg. 88 both resized and trimmed. They were within .2 gr. of each other and case powder capacity was within .2...
