    My $400 build

    Thinking of dropping a Luepold Mark AR Mod 1 on the top (mil-dot). Can't decide if I want to teach her the milliradian system or not.

    My $400 build

    Remington 700 SPS Tactical .223 I built up for my girlfriend (so she'll stop shooting my hand loads, lol). The whole thing was spray painted, ugliest camo job I've ever seen. Picked it up on the cheap, real cheap, and went to work on it. Broke it down, got all the krylon off and cleaned it up...

    Light Recoil Bolt Rifle for the Wife

    For what's it's worth, my seven year old (a small 7 year old) shoots a .257 Roberts. He does great with it. No more recoil than a 243 and a tad more bullet (although shot placement is key). Walmart stopped carrying ammo years ago, but Bass Pro, Cabelas, and some Academy's still carry it. Classic...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Monarch X 2.5-10x44

    I have some very good Monarchs I use for hunting scopes (as well as Leupold). I have a 4-16 that sits on my 7 mag that rocks. That being said, I would think the tactical models should be good for their price. A lot of people shoot 600+ yds with a 10x, but I'm a magnification whore and I know I'd...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark AR or Nikon M223?

    Thanks for the info. I have both Nikon Monarchs and Leupold VX-3's on my hunting rigs. But what I just realized is that only the Mark AR offers mil-dot, and I want to teach her how to range. I could be wrong but I think both are calibrated for 55 grainers. Her barrel is a 1:9 so that should be...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark AR or Nikon M223?

    For give me if this has been covered before, I tried searching and didn't come up with much. I recently picked up for almost nothing a Remington 700 SPS Tactical .223 for my girlfriend to shoot at the range. (So she'll stop shooting my hand loads. Lol) It came with a BSA but I can't stand it...

    1000 yrd rifle build help

    Agreed, most all rifles will outshoot the shooter.

    1000 yrd rifle build help

    Also, I love the 300 win mag. However most shooting like your describing is in the prone, secondly on the bench, both of which can be hard on your shoulder unless your sporting a 24 lb rig. I know big guys that hate magnums, I'm small and they don't bother me. Everyone is different.

    1000 yrd rifle build help

    You are correct, there are a lot better choices than 308 for 1000yd shooting, however, if you ever get in to competition then some are limited to certain calibers like F/TR class (.223 and .308 only). There is a lot more information about the 308 than most others and you can get plenty of off...

    Lapping new factory rifle barrel? Yes - No...

    Yes, the wonderful google search. Because everything google pulls up is true. If that were the case we wouldn't need forums like these now would we?

    Lapping new factory rifle barrel? Yes - No...

    First of all, I never said anywhere in any of my post that a hammer forged barrel was not accurate, nowhere. The most accurate barrel in my safe is a hammer forge. I also never said anything about them not lasting as long. So, if you're going to quote me, then how about we discuss what I...

    Lapping new factory rifle barrel? Yes - No...

    Now, I could be wrong about this, but it was my understanding that even though button rifling is slower, the machining process is a lot cheaper as well. As hammer forging machinery breaks, or needs replacing, it is replaced with button rifling machinery, they just pull the buttons faster than...

    Lapping new factory rifle barrel? Yes - No...

    I'd agree that most factory are button rifled, and about leaving plated bores alone. To me, it's a matter of machining. Factory barrels are rifled a whole lot faster than most customs, which can make bores sloppy. They also run 10 or more times the amount of barrels through the same tooling...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark AR 4-12x40 and 6-18x40?

    GoVandals, how is the light transmission at 18x?

    Lapping new factory rifle barrel? Yes - No...

    In my opinion factory rifles are hit and miss. Some out of the box will shoot 1/4 moa, others will sling bullets that resemble a shotgun pattern. Most of it has to do with wether or not the manufacturer just changed tooling before your barrel was made. I'm also not one that believes lapping...
