    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP EBR-2C Unboxing

    Thanks for the pics. I do like that reticle. I have two 6-24x56 FFP PST scopes with EBR-1C. I contacted Vortex back in early July about the possibility of sending in my scopes to have the reticles upgraded to the EBR-2C model. They were very responsive but said it would probably be a year...

    Ballistics app?

    Strelok Pro. It includes the ability to do trajectory validation as well as compensating for coriolis effect and spin drift. Works with G1 or G7 BC and has a ton of built in reticles in the latest version. Also can work with a kestrel with Bluetooth.

    padded "shooting" shirt brands?

    I saw a guy at the range that had a thin and form fitting long sleeve shirt that had elbow/forearm pads built in and a collar bone/shoulder pad. I am much happier in my prone shooting since I got some tru-spec tactical pants with Blackhawk foam knee pads for my broke ass knees and thought a...

    Accurate M1A advice

    Didnt know you could build/buy a .5moa M1A. Had a Springfield Armory full on NM version, bedded, Douglas SS barrel, etc, and the best it would do was 1moa with FGMM or hand loads. Got rid of it and bought a savage 10BA-LE for the same price that shoots under .5moa. Recently built a 24" lilja...

    Lapua vs Win brass for 308

    Good luck trying to buy any WIN .308 brass. I scored some in march 2013 and have not been able to find anymore since. I just bought 800 pieces of once fired PMC brass for a low price and I am waiting for it to show up. Hoping to get 500-600 decent pieces after prep to use in my gas gun. At...

    would seating depth affect the OCW?

    Yes, after my ocw test to find the most consistent load, I did another round of groups starting from touching the lands to .030" jump in .005" increments. Shot 5 round groups at 100yds and 200m. Found my gun likes .020" jump the best and also that my 200m groups were lower moa than the 100yrd...

    'Budget' 308 carbine build suggestions

    If you want to do it on a budget, you could pick up a complete dpms upper for about $750. Spend your cash on a good trigger (I'm on my 3rd, a Geissele SSE-A that I should have started with). I have had pretty good luck with dpms stuff and you can always install upgrades later when you have more...

    Scope Level

    The Vortex one... $35 each and works great. What does spending another $100 get me?

    Rifle Scopes Is the NF BEAST too much optic for a Larue Predatobr 7.62

    Sorry to go off topic, but is that a larue lt706/harris bipod? How do you like it? Not thrilled with my Atlas and have been looking at these for a year and now they make one with the taller Harris LM-S it would probably be my first choice...

    Rifle Scopes A.R.M.S. #22 throw lever rings

    Used several sets of ARMS mounts over the years with no problems (still have a set of 30mm 22M rings in the safe too). Went to one piece mounts with 20moa when I started shooting long distance. Also used their aimpoint mounts years ago, again without issues. They were the good QD rings before...

    spotting scope to see 500yards BEST VALUE help!

    For that kind of money you are not going to find decent glass in a "new" scope (you are looking at $1600-$4000 for a "good" new spotting scope). You should probably watch ebay and be patient (also watch Craigslist and do a national search - some people will ship if you contact them) depending...

    Marking Your 80% lowers

    Ever heard of a milling machine? I would think if you were not a law abiding citizen and were going to do something illegal like obliterating the serial number, removing .030" or .050" of material would clean the surface pretty well. Or you could give it that "skelletanized" effect. Also this...

    LMT's new DMR buttstock.

    All I could think of when I got the email notice/advert about this stock from LMT a few months back was "Really?" A "DMR" stock that looks just like the PRS stocks I already own, yet at a higher price? Could I make a DuMmeR decision?" Just who thought up DuMmeR and believed it was a bright...

    Marking Your 80% lowers

    There is legislation going through CA right now about requiring law abiding citizens to have to apply to the state and pay a fee to get a "CA DOJ issued" serial number (if not already serialized) and having to serialize any home built firearms in Commiefornia. I was thinking of serializing mine...

    opinions on .308 brass?

    My biggest issue with LC brass is dealing with the PITA primer crimps. Can probably clean the tar out with chemicals and ultrasonic cleaner... I thought I read you could use Xylene/Benzene on a Qtip to wipe it out (can't get these chemicals in CA anymore though). I had been seeing some new...

    opinions on .308 brass?

    With 308 Winchester brand brass being in such short supply I was wondering if anyone could recommend a similar "budget" alternative? I am seeing some Prvi Partizan new unfired brass listed at $0.45 ea. Are these any good? I will be loading for both a gas and a bolt .308 (I keep brass/loads...
