    Bolt-up

    Re: Bolt-up My entry level rig is a Remington 700 AAC SD in .308. It out shoots me as is but the stock will be the first replacement item as soon as I feel that it is a limiting factor. My glass is a Millet TRS 4-16X50 Mil/Mil with an SFP illuminated reticle (set for use at 10x). Other...

    thoughts

    Re: thoughts Civilian here. I respect the hell out of the men and women that serve our country. They are underpaid and frequently under appreciated. If they choose to spend their HARD earned money with you and you see fit to give them a discount and put them first in line then I applaud...

    Steel Target Question

    I found bigdogsteel.com and since they seem to have a good reputation here I thought I would try some of their targets. I am new to shooting precision at any real distance so I don't really know what size to pick up. Am I wrong that a 8"x8" plate should be more than enough out to 400 yards or...

    Sell your guns now, bullet proof skin is coming

    Re: Sell your guns now, bullet proof skin is coming stopping a bullet and stopping internal trauma are two different things all together. If I had to choose between a rifle and bullet proof skin I am definitely picking the rifle!

    Rifle Scopes I just don't get it, Illumination

    Re: I just don't get it, Illumination I bought a scope with illumination because I figured that it couldn't hurt. This thread got me to thinking about it so I decided to check it out. I decided to dry fire at my neighbors ADT sign about 75 yards from my house (from inside my house) and it...

    First rifle for kids....

    Re: First rifle for kids.... My first rifle (not of the bb gun and pellet gun variety) was a browning .22 semi auto with iron sights. I have thought about selling it a million times to fund other projects but I can't bring myself to do it. I suppose that will be the first one.

    ATTN KS City area members -SEAL funeral protestors

    Re: ATTN KS City area members -SEAL funeral protestors I just saw this. I wish that I would have seen it yesterday because this is right around the corner from me. Did anyone go? These people came to my home town and were swiftly ran off by a bunch of bikers.

    Rifle Scopes How Screwed am I?

    Re: How Screwed am I? Thanks guys. The good news is that Millett is right down the street (one of the reasons I went with their scope) so hopefully it won't be a big deal.

    Rifle Scopes How Screwed am I?

    Re: How Screwed am I? It is a millett. I didn't mention the name because I don't have a complaint with the company and I wanted a constructive opinion before people started telling me that I should have spent another $1,000! So, I will call them but I may try the phone book thing as well...

    Rifle Scopes How Screwed am I?

    I'm just getting in to the precision rifle side of things so I kept my budget pretty small for the glass knowing that I would upgrade if I really got into it. I mounted my scope, bore sighted it (old school looking down the bore style) and went to the range. Just looking through the glass I...

    Putting steel cased ammo through nice ARs?

    Re: Putting steel cased ammo through nice ARs? I bought my AR piece by piece with value in mind. So, while it is a nice AR it isn't a top of the line build by any means. That being said, I shoot a lot of brown bear and wolf through it without problems. It gets dirty as hell, but I kind of...

    Official MidwayUSA Codes

    Re: Official MidwayUSA Codes There are some that are still valid but they only apply to things that are not on sale. If you put in a code it will tell you if it is valid or not and it will give you a reason why it isn't valid if in fact you can't use it.

    ***Your Opinion***Does everyone need a .308???????

    Re: ***Your Opinion***Does everyone need a .308??????? Depends I guess. I wanted to get into precision shooting and I also wanted a cartridge I could hunt dear with (can't hunt with .223 around here). So, I went with a cartridge that would allow me to easily buy ammo at the store in case I...

    Photos F___ it, let it rain

    Re: F___ it, let it rain I could do this but I don't think my wife, my dog, my neighbors, the people driving by on the road that I would have to shoot across or the grocery store who's parking lot would have to hold my target would appreciate it very much

    Savage or Remington

    Re: Savage or Remington I had this debate with myself for a while. I picked my criteria and decided that for what I wanted remington was the better deal. The only savage I wanted was more expensive than the remington I liked and since I was going to be upgrading plenty of things on the...

    Bell and Carlson vs. Manners

    I am putting together a parts list and I am trying to figure out if the Manners stock is worth the additional money over the B&C for a new guy. Manners is local so I would like to support them but I don't know if I can justify the cost. Can you justify the additional cost for a new bolt action...
