    Rifle Scopes Nightforce customer service ?

    I have owned probably 20+ NF scopes over the years. I sold off my F2 reticle scopes when the MOAR came out, Then sold off several more to upgrade to the ATACR on my tactical rifles. I have a feeling that people selling off their scopes are upgrading just like I did. I try not to be too rough on...

    Rifle Scopes Scope market inside scoop...

    I read the whole thread, and this comment stuck with me the most. This is exactly why Nightforce is so popular. They make a solid product with reticles CUSTOMERS WANT, not reticles that the designer likes. I love S&B scopes and have the money to buy them, but the MOAR reticle gets my money every...

    Question about hold/form

    With a rest or bipod, I have been taught by several great instructors to only put fingertip pressure on the grip without wrapping the thumb around the stock, while loading the bipod forward with the body just enough to keep things tight. This completely eliminates the variables of hand pressure...

    Recoil killed my rings!

    Warne maxima rings are good, just not the way Tikka expects you to mount them. Almost everyone with magnum rifles puts the Warnes (or any rings) on a weaver or pic rail so the cross-lugs hold them in place. Some of my Africa big game magnums have Warne rings and rails, and you see more Warne...

    JAE vs AICS

    JAE is a work of art, and easily the finest stock money can buy. But the customer service is not only horrible, but pretty much non-existent. Getting my stock was an adventure in itself, wrought with misinformation and outright lies. Every nook and cranny of this stock reveals painstakingly...

    Should I change my current build from 6.5cm to 260?

    Although H4350 does seem to be the perfect powder for 6.5CM when slinging the 136+ grain bullets, it is definitely not the ONLY powder that produces good results with those bullets. RL17 does great, and some guns like it better than H4350. IMR4350 is also great for this round, but be mindful...

    Shout out to Accurate Ordnance

    I am working up loads on my 2nd barreled action from Accurate Ordnance. Mark and Woody are the best when it comes to customer service, fair prices, and delivering on promised deadlines. Their work is perfection and AO rifles shoot lights-out. All of my future builds will be done through AO...

    6.5 Creedmoor - RCBS Dies vs Hornady Match Grade New Dimension Dies

    I have had bad luck with both Hornady and RCBS dies. I bought a set of Hornady match Dies for 6.5CM based off of some good reviews on SH, and the fact that our local gun shop has a huge selection of Hornady dies. The expander on the FL die broke after about 40 loads, and Hornady quickly replaced...

    JAE 700, they do exist

    Finally received my stock. Buy it now option with immediate payment in full took a year. Its not the wait that made me mad; it is the excuses, lies, and bad customer service you receive once they have your money.

    How consistant are QD mounts?

    I use QD rings on my Africa hunting rifles. This is so I can get my plains game with the optic, and quickly remove the optic and use my irons if DG present an opportunity. I use 375 H&H magnum for everything over there. My optics are sighted in for 250gr TSXs and my irons are sighted in for...

    JAE 700, they do exist

    Just don't believe what Lisa tells you. I ordered mine almost a year ago. Lisa talked me into getting the "Buy it Now" option. She promised me that by paying in full for a loaded stock, she was 100% certain I would have it in a few months. My card was charged the full price almost...

    Rem 700 AAC-SD blues

    The extremely crappy factory stock is what is killing your accuracy. Very common for groups to get cut in half after a stock change with these rifles.

    Custom Build Wait Times

    A lot of the wait time right now is part availability, especially good receivers. Most companies that used to manufacture receivers as the bulk of their business have become rifle builders themselves, so their own rifle builds become more important than selling parts to other builders. Call...

    Remington 700 Police 338 Lapua rifles

    He trolls every thread he can find with the word "Remington" in the title so he can spew his load. Just ignore him and he will only post once in the thread.

    Scar 17

    I love the SCAR17 much more than my LMT, FALs, HK91, M1As, and Saiga308. The SCAR is just an amazing little jack of all trades that runs clean and very reliable. Its MOA accurate, light but with minimal recoil, eats any ammo, stupid easy to maintain, one hex wrench takes apart everything on the...

    AICS ergonomics stink.....back to a traditional stock:manners,mcmillain?

    I own several Manners and McMillan stocks. The differences are slight, but here is my opinion; * The feel, ergonomics and designs of McMillan stocks are a little better than Manners. * The quality of manufacturer and appearance of the finished product of Manners stocks are a little better than...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    I shoot a lot of big calibers and shot guns, so I am not very recoil sensitive. 308 Recoil seems minimal to me. That said, short barrels tend to rise more than traditional length barrels due to increased blast and lack of forward weight. When shooting in prone with natural point of aim, watching...

    Wierd thing happened at the range Saturday

    I have shot with REAL SF guys, LE firearms instructors, and folks who have BTDT. This doesn't automatically make them great precision shooters. In civy life now, I notice at the open courses I take, that the MIL/LE students often perform the worse than the plumbers and salesmen in class.
