    Galaxy S3, S4 phone to find Elevation, Barometeric Pressure

    Doesn't work on my Verizon SIII either. ETA: There are some apps like Sypressure that use the phones sensor for Baro, rather than METAR from weather stations.

    270 loads

    I've stuck on the H4831sc as well, under a 130gr. Sierra GameKing. I have an older Browning A-Bolt, and my particular rifle absolutely hates 140gr. bullets of any flavor. As an aside, found a load with 100gr. bullets that has the same POI as the 130 gr. load which is nice as well.

    Another Choate Tactical stock review

    I have one of the Ultimate Varmint stocks on a budget Savage .223, not the best stock in the world, but certainly not the worst either. Combat Stocks has the Tactical for $210 delivered, if you happen to be looking for one.

    Double taps with my LMT

    If something is dragging on the hammer hard enough to pull it loose from the disconnect, there should be some wear marks. With the hammer in the fired position get hold of it, and twist on it, see if there is any play there. Of course check the engagement surfaces as well. Do the LMTs have...

    Stocking a new Gunshop with AR10 and AR15 accessories

    Listen to LRRPF52, especially on "Customer Treatment and Service". If your friendly, and try to help me I'll try to buy from your store, if on the other hand your a condesending asshole, because I don't want what you personally use then I'll go elsewhere, or back online. There are just 2 gun...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 3-15 for mostly hunting rig?

    I suppose it is personal preference, but I don't care for a FFP for hunting unless it has an illuminated reticle. When there is a deer 25-50 yards away, in thick brush, right at dark it is sometimes hard to see the reticle with them dialed down. Then again I prefer illum. even in SFP. The SS...

    Clarksville, Tenn.

    If I'm not mistaken Mid-South Shooters Supply is located there as well. Is US Cav still right outside the main gate?

    Hodgdon BL-C(2) in 308

    I used to use it years ago in .308 with 125gr. Nosler BTs. IIRC, it gave decent velocities, and acceptable accuracy. That was all out of a bolt gun though, before I had an AR-10. Since rifle powders are hard to get (at least in my area), I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try, if it was all I...

    cracked bolt on AR

    I'm gonna agree with rgrmike, stuff breaks. Buy yourself a quality replacement, and drive on.

    Buying gold and silver

    Provident, or Silver Town, try to catch the free shipping deals. Those are about the two cheapest retailers.

    $1500 to work with what would you choose?

    OP, you could always buy a used Savage, take it apart, and rebuild in the caliber, and configuration you want a piece at a time, as time, and money permits.

    Gibbs 1903A4 Sniper

    My Dad bought one a year or so ago, nice repro rifles, but the scope leaves some to be desired.

    Yankee Hill Scope rings for bolt gun?

    Where are you finding those for $50 bones?

    Gunsmithing FN SPR Bolt knob

    I had PCR do the one on my Win. M70, essentially the same as the FN.

    Hunting & Fishing So... Why the **** do you want to take a head shot? "GRAY MATTER" HD Video

    Now I have tried to eat a squirrel, little fuckers are tougher than shoe leather! Even though multiple people tell me, multiple ways to cook'em to make'em tender, I ain't buying that shit, I'll wait until I have to before I try again.

    Gunsmithing anyone installed ptg bottom metal?

    Bradu, I talked to Chad today, if you have a Rem. 700 just the stock. He hasn't done an M70 before, so I'm sending him the entire rifle. Also, if it has an aluminum bedding block it's $100 instead of $75. Give him a call, super nice guy.

    Need a lesson on Ballistic Apps

    Ok I tried the muzzle velocity calibration, and of course it'll give me the correct dope at a certain range, but everything further out is still off by quite a bit. It also changed my MV from 2786 to 2514, technology can be frustrating!

    Lagging a gun safe and firearms insurance

    Mine are elevated about 1.5" off the floor with strips of treated lumber, they are also lagged through the floor, and wall behind it.
