    Re: nc and sc range I witnessed 95LTZ shoot a 5 shot 4.5" group at 985yds tonight with his Tubb gun. It was a very nice group, especially because the group was doubled in size by a flyer. 4 shots were 2.5"s. Another buddy who doesn't post here had a very similar group. He had 4 shots in 2"s...

    Gunsmithing Anyone built a rifle on a Eliseo RT-10?

    Anybody have any experience with the Eliseo RT-10? I'm thinking of building my next rifle on one. What caliber did you use and how do the mags feed? Can you seat the bullets out far enough and still load from the mag? I'm putting the new Surgeon round long action in one with a 30" tube...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote vs DuraCoat

    Re: Cerakote vs DuraCoat Does Cera-kote spray as easy as DuraCoat? I have very little experience with an HVLP sprayer, but the DuraCoat is very easy to spray and my jobs come out looking good. I've heard CeraKote is a little trickier. I am itching to give it a try. I am in the process of...
