    Rifle Scopes NF NP-R1 or NP-R2???

    Re: NF NP-R1 or NP-R2??? This, if the npr2 had smaller wind marks, I think I would like it better. I have the npr2 and find it not difficult to split the 2moa vertical, but the 5moa horizontal is too much.

    Hard to chamber 7.62x51

    I ordered some match 308 ammo from southwest ammo awhile back and it took a bit longer than expected to get it shipped. To make up for this error they included a box of 147gr fmj NATO. While checking it out I attempted to chamber a round of the NATO stuff and found that the bolt was fairly...

    Looking for a capable bolt action .22 for $300

    Re: Looking for a capable bolt action .22 for $300 The cz is supposed to be a bit nicer of a finish overall. That said my mkii thumbhole is far and away my favorite gun. A bit of time with a dremmel and the action is buttery smooth, which IMO it wax already. With remington ely I can cover my...

    Rifle Scopes Long-term storage of high end optics

    Re: Long-term storage of high end optics I doubt it would be very harmful, but that said I would take the scopes off and store them inside somewhere, maybe a safe deposit box?

    New rail with no difference. Any suggestions?

    Re: New rail with no difference. Any suggestions? I know on my 308 the base is visibly tapered. Take a close look at the base and make sure it's not mislabeled. Also you could lay the base (off the gun of course) on a flat surface and put a level across it, if it is level you have a flat no...

    Best *QUALITY* 22lr pistol for suppression?

    Re: Best *QUALITY* 22lr pistol for suppression? Well normally there is no real reason to remove the upper and lower halves from each other. Walk away for a bit and come back to it. You have to follow the steps for putting it together, muzzle up muzzle down, hammer back/forward. It's a pain...

    Gunsmithing micro action?

    Re: micro action? Look up ultralight arms. They are fantastic guns and super light. My dad has one in .243 that is about 5.5 lbs with a scope on it.

    Suppressors Suppresser vs Ear Plugs

    Is a good quality suppressor equal to using earplugs? Most better cans have about 30 db of sound reduction. Most earplugs are rated at around 30db of noise reduction. By this it would seem that a decent can should be as comfortable to shoot as wearing earplugs. I don't have much experience...

    Re: Video Early Look SWFA SSHD 5-20x I just wish these scopes came with moa style reticles like night force. If they did these would be a no brainer.

    .22lr Barrel length and accuracy

    Re: .22lr Barrel length and accuracy 22 are not very length sensitive. Supersonic ammo remains supersonic out of pistol length barrels in my experience.personally I think that when I have my savage threaded I'll whack the barrel off to 16 or so just to help with the weight. It's a heavy gun...

    Ok, sell me on the Atlas bipod.

    Re: Ok, sell me on the Atlas bipod. Another vote for the atlas, the Harris is obsolete. The atlas is better made, lighter and has more features. The only downside is having to use the rail to mount it. However the rail is a far better way to mount a bipod.

    ear protection preferences

    Re: ear protection preferences Doubling up is likely the best. Indoors I always double plugs and muffs. Outside it's usually just plugs because I am likely shooting rifles and cand stand earmuffs and the issues around them. That said I have to wonder what the maximum possible reduction is...
