    Rifle Scopes AR15 scope ideas

    I put an M-223 on an AR. It's not terrible, but also not worth the money they ask for them. On another AR, I put a vortex viper 4-16 and have been very happy with it. It has a long eye relief and is very clear. The other vortex models may have something in the power you are looking for and...

    polymer vs. forged vs billet

    200,000 rounds may very well be made up. I am going off of what the range master told me when I was considering a polymer lower. To say poly lowers are crap and it is proven is a stretch as well as a faulty assumption. To say it is proven, there has to be a much larger sample size than...

    Killings in China

    Pepper spray is heavily restricted in the UK. Hair dryers are next. The shape is threatening and we all know how dangerous those are around a bathtub.

    polymer vs. forged vs billet

    I have a polymer lower on a 10 inch upper with about 4k rounds on it. They are solid and weigh much less than the others. There is a training facility near my house that I go to frequently that rents polymer lower ARs and they make it through about 200,000 rounds before needing to be replaced...

    **Video** 6.5 Creedmoor 136gr Lapua Scenar 1,500 yards.

    After shooting with a friend that has a 6.5-284 I am now sold on its performance for paper out to 1200 and animals out to 500. The Creedmoor is really something as well. I always hear the 6.5 has the same ballistics as the 300 win mag but that is not really true. It may have a very similar...

    Another barrel life/replacement question

    I am shooting about 50-75 338 Lapua rounds every week and at 1500 rounds that comes out to about 7 months of shooting. People that place well in competitions have to shoot more than 75 per week. Figure, they have to shoot 200 or so a week maybe more. Those of you that really do well in...

    Rifle Scopes What do I need? 5.5-22 vs. 8-32 Nightforce.

    I have the NXS 8-32 and it is not as clear as my friends Sightron SIII. The two are comparable at 25X but after that, the nightforce gets cloudy.

    Interesting H1000 and US869 results

    I had a 338 Lapua re-barreled to a 32 inch 1 in 9. The original factory barrel was 26 1 in 9. The 26 inch barrel preferred 91 grains H1000 under a 300 SMK and would shoot in the .5s but the 32 inch barrel prefers 88.5 gr under the same bullet giving about .75 MOA. 89.5 grains and up would...

    Gunsmithing Pac Nor Muzzle Break question

    I have a 300WM barrel with their own muzzle break in the works with Pac Nor. After shooting a friends 300WM with a Fat Bastard I cannot imagine a better break. My question is, do any of you guys have any experience with Pac Nor breaks? How do they compare to others? Should I have them cancel...

    question regarding slight bulge above case head with pics.

    I decided to bring a Remington 700 Sendero Special,.270 Winchester out from retirement from 1995 or so. I inspected 100 once fired factory cases from the rifle and noticed a slight bulge just above the case head. I have never dealt with this before and I am wondering if these are OK to load or...

    Gunsmithing Remington 700 action question

    I have a .270 Win Sendero Special that will not shoot any respectable group no matter what load work up or shooter. I bought it used in 1996. I would like to turn it into a 300 RUM or 300 Win Mag. Is that even possible with a barrel and bolt face swap? What do I need to do? Thanks for the...

    Please help me with my bolt action extraction problem

    Yes it is a Savage. I just wonder if anyone has figured out a solution to this problem. Other than getting a Sako or AI.

    Please help me with my bolt action extraction problem

    Back story: Got a new gun in 338 LM and it was impropperly headspaced. Got it headspaced with PT&G guages by a Smith and it still will only work with Lapua brass with one qualifier. -New lapua brass without any work done, just loaded and fired, 100% exracted. Went fom 89gr up to 92.5 gr and...

    Gunsmithing Barrel seating depth

    Re: Barrel seating depth I am almost certain I over resized the brass by following the instructions of RCBS. Pretty sure the die was seated too deep and pushed the shoulder back too far. I had a mold made and the smith said the chamber was in spec. Now I have about 150 pieces wasted unless...

    Gunsmithing Barrel seating depth

    Re: Barrel seating depth There is no reason I cannot use a go gauge to set the barrel. Since I only use one type of brass, Ruag, and the same FL die, I was wondering if there was a reason not to use a resized case in place of the gauge to get lower tolerances, stretching, etc. I'm not...

    Gunsmithing Barrel seating depth

    I have a savage that will not extract and a no-go guage will close in the chamber. The brass is stretching + .015 after firing. Instead of seating the barrel on to a go-guage, can I seat the barrel on to a resized case from my die? The gun is a 110ba in 338. This well documented problem of FTE...

    .338 LM Neck tension measuring .372-.373

    I measured the loaded neck diameter and I am getting the stated measurements. Empty case neck walls are measuring .015. Why the discrepancy? According to my math, .015+.015+.338 =.368. Also, the first round I fired yesterday was not able to be extracted. Data 300gr Berger OTM, 91.0gr H1000...
