    Need Good Source for Federal .308 MatchKing Sierra 175g

    The best deal I ever found on FGMM 175 SMKs was from Palmetto State Armory for $22/box. That's not to say match 308 ammo can't be found elsewhere for cheaper.

    6x45mm vs 6.5 Grendel

    I'm thinking about switching over to a 6x45 after I get some use out of my 223. I probably won't shoot past 300 yards and the only reason I'm considering it is because Iowa requires a 24 caliber or larger for shooting deer. I don't want to mess around with specialty magazines and I've heard the...

    Some Interesting Facts About The Marlin Model 60 .22 Rifle

    You're right. I should just let the math illiterate continue on because everyone knows ignorance is bliss.

    Some Interesting Facts About The Marlin Model 60 .22 Rifle

    You made some very bold and undeserved assumptions. You can't just average the barrel lengths. This assumes that an equal number of 18" and 22" barreled actions were produced. You've also assumed a consistent level of production. However, Marlin has more than likely been able to increase their...

    Some Interesting Facts About The Marlin Model 60 .22 Rifle

    I loved my Marlin Papoose. I can't say the same of your math skills.

    You have $10,000. What do you build?

    I'd build a Russian whorehouse and get some return on investment....if you know what I mean.

    Start on the best or ....

    I'm still pretty new to the game and I started with a Remington 5R. It's a nice gun, but if I were to start over again I'd buy a Tikka T3. I hesitate to tell fellow beginners that they need to buy AI or GAP quality rifles simply because I'm not aware of their financial situation. This hobby can...

    Action Discussion: T3 vs TRG

    First, lets keep this conversation on the topic of the actions only. I've seen several TRGs and T3s floating around with aftermarket barrels which distorts the discussion about which is more accurate. Out of the box TRG > T3. I want to know what makes the TRG action so great and if the T3 is...

    Unless someone has any objections/bad experiences, I'm going to get a Leupold 2-7x28 since I can get it for a nice discount.

    455 Suggestions

    This probably belongs in the Optics section, but I wanted to single out responses from the rimfire guys. I'm in the market for a CZ 455 (sku: 021113). The gun will be used for hunting small game at 100 yards or less. I want it to be a lighweight, handy rifle I can use for multipositional...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for 0-600 yards??

    $2500 for a scope that's going to be used for shooting < 600 yards is overkill. I understand that having reliable gear limits your excuses, but in this case you've set the bar unnecessarily high. Also remember that the glass clarity is more important than magnification. For under $1K consider...

    Curious to hear what you would sell

    I'd sell the 5R to start and the 300 WM second. Hold onto the AR as long as you can and ditch it during the next panic if finances are still tight.

    Anyone got $17,000 for a Remington 700 M24E1 XM2010?

    JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! For 17K it ought to come with a girlfriend who puts out.

    Opinions on best billet lower with most features etc

    I don't like the looks of the Seekins SP223 lower. I would hold out for their SBA15 if you were to go that route. I just finished an SPR build with a Mega Arms ambi set and it's fucking legit. Plus it comes with a standard charging handle which is good enough for my purposes.

    Critique my high end build please.

    From the list you've provide I'm a little curious why you're not consiering a factory rifle from Noveske or JP. Nevertheless, my definition of high end builds only includes those with matching uppers and lowers. Mega Arms is great and a lot of people here like Seekins as well. Last I knew, Syrac...

    Billet vs forged, and help me decide on a lower

    I've become a bit of a snob in regards to my receivers. The products manufactured by Mega Arms are works of art. https://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=1624 I don't understand billet receivers without the ambidextrous bolt release. $30 is the difference between a standard set...
