    Howa 1500 builds **post them**

    I've decided to build a Howa 1500/KRG bravo. I ordered the KRG bravo in FDE, warne 20moa scope base, AAC muzzle break is on backorder. 6.5CM barreled action will get ordered from brownells when my FFL gets back from vacation. Undecided on scopes. I can get a decent mil discount on Vortex...

    Precision rifle shopping- and I only have 100yrd range

    When the time comes for a long range rifle, I think I'm going to stick with .308. Sure the 6.5CM is "better" in every way on paper, but I'm shooting an M1A (I decided to keep it), my brother has a .308 savage, and I have a bucket of brass already piling up. On my last trip to wal-mart, I...

    Rifle vise for cleaning and general smithing?

    My bench vise is in a tight corner of a super hot garage (thanks miami). I'm looking for a table top solution so I can use it in my air conditioned office/gun room.

    Rifle vise for cleaning and general smithing?

    The made in the USA CTK has decent reviews. I'm leaning that way but waiting for more options.

    Rifle vise for cleaning and general smithing?

    I tossed my MTM, hated it. Google has completely taken over the search for a good vise to the same repetitive blogs pointing to an Amazon affiliate link to a Tipon P.O.S. plastic vice. Arghh. I want something better. Needs to hold all sorts of long guns for jobs ranging from cleaning to...

    Precision rifle shopping- and I only have 100yrd range

    After reading all these comments, I think I'm going to stick with my Rock River Arms Predator AR for 100 yards. It's the most accurate rifle I have. Maybe try 3 position (like NRA high power) to mix it up. Then I need to work on my Ruger 10/22 and try that at 100 yards.

    Precision rifle shopping- and I only have 100yrd range

    I still have my 1946 Winchester 75 target model. That's what I shot through 4 years of high school rifle team. I averaged 255 out of 300 in 3 position small bore my senior year. It outshot many $3000 anschutz rifles. I'll probably need glasses to use the peep sights and globe front though...

    Precision rifle shopping- and I only have 100yrd range

    Well right now I'm in Miami. Options are limited. I do have a Ruger 10/22 with volquartzen goodies that I haven't shot in years. Maybe I'll dust that off and put a real scope on it (I think it's a nikon 22 right now). I just got back from walmart and grazed through the ammo selection for...

    Precision rifle shopping- and I only have 100yrd range

    Hmmm... a .223 bolt gun might just be the ticket. I already reload for .223 match rounds, so that's a no brainer aside from the fact I ready have 3 AR's in 5.56mm. Are there any cool looking chassis type .223's out there? I'll check out the tikkas. A 100 yard rimfire is also intriguing...

    Precision rifle shopping- and I only have 100yrd range

    I'm dreaming of 1000 yard shots, but the reality is my ranges here are only 100 yards. My most accurate rifle is a 1/2-3/4 MOA AR-15 that's fun to shoot but I'm looking for some more "oomph" and not policing brass from all over every 15 minute range session. I'm selling my M1A SOCOM because...

    MPA Production or Bad Rock South Fork

    What color is that PMR stock? I see they have black and tungsten but the pics of tungsten online look light silver. I'm torn between the MPA and blowing my budget, or going Bergara B14 BMP and a nicer scope.

    Gunsmithing Thinking of trying out cerakote- gear tips?

    I already have all the stuff for powder coating- large blast cabinet with aluminun oxide, large compressor, high temp silicone plugs, and a big toaster oven. I want to try out cerakoting because I'm bored with my black guns. I plan to do AR receivers, rails, maybe a glock frame. From my...

    Rifle Scopes How to use my new mil-dot scope?

    Re: How to use my new mil-dot scope? Thanks guys I'll try that out. It's a 1/10mil turret too. Need to print out a chart for 75gr match ammo.

    Rifle Scopes How to use my new mil-dot scope?

    I did read all the FAQ's etc. They are way too detailed for what I'm doing. I just mounted up a new Weaver grand slam tactical 3-10x40 mil-dot scope. I hope I didn't make a mistake buying this thing. On my local range I can set my target anywhere 0-150 yards and then a 300 yard line-...

    Best value .308 bolt gun w/ suppressor?

    I'm looking to buy my first .308 bolt gun. I currently only have a Remington 700 BDL 7mm magnum that kicks hard and isn't accurate. Other guns are shorter range AR's (.223, .300 AAC, .50 Beowulf). I reload if that matters. Looking for a .308 bolt gun that I can shoot at the outdoor range...
