    Got muzzle brake and it changed accuracy. Why?

    I've tried two different brakes on my rifle - both caused the groups to blow up. Took them off, went with just a thread guard, and back down to normal. I thought it was just me.

    What's in a Snipers Back Pack???

    My pack carries a rifle, and the rest is full of Skittles. I don't need anything else.

    Magpul colors off

    I seriously don't even know what color stock I have on most of my ARs. I never seem to notice while it's mounted on my shoulder and I'm looking through the sights. But hell, I just shoot my rifles. I've never taken them to a fashion show, or displayed them outside a Barbie dream house while...

    How can this be? A non-free-float barrel shoots well.

    Remington factory torque should be 45 lb-in, correct? Was thinking of trying it in a 700P stock I have and see if it still shoots well free-floated. If it doesn't work, I'll just throw it back in the factory stock (which I really don't care for).

    How can this be? A non-free-float barrel shoots well.

    I'm afraid of even taking it out of the stock. I'm sure the pressure on the barrel has to be consistent, or it seems like it would change the zero. Hell - I'll just shoot the shit out of it until something goes wrong. I'm not a big fan of the stock, but don't want to screw up a good thing.

    How can this be? A non-free-float barrel shoots well.

    A friend was trying to offload a Rem 700 VTR in .308. He said it was a great shooter - that is always relative. I looked at it as maybe a hunting rifle that when I got the money together, I could cabbage the action and make into something more interesting. Well - off to the range. Strapped...

    M60 vs M240 vs M249

    Of the three, I thought the 240 was the most accurate. Of the three that I had experience with (M60E3, M249 SAW, and M240G), I would prefer to carry and use the M60E3. I thought the 240 was too big and heavy, and I thought the rate of fire was too high. The SAW was fine, but heavy for the...

    PCP Ammunition set for limited release of polymer cased .308 ammunition

    Sooo . . . . am I reading this right? They aren't sending out ammo free samples to be tested by real world users and provide feedback - they are charging double what regular match ammo costs for stuff that falls apart when you try to chamber it? Awesome.

    Rifle Scopes Why no love for Mark 4 with M5 turrets?

    I think the Leupold Mk4 M5 is great - except the FFP. I have one, and this is the scope the convinced me that for me (LE work), the SFP is better. If Leupold made a Mk4 M5 SFP TMR, I'd be in lust. Add the firedot but still in the same price range, and I'd fap to it.

    Rifle Scopes New Optic From Bushnell, The LRHS

    It's just a personal opinion, but this seems like the perfect tactical rifle scope to me, less illumination (which in the vast majority of cases, I don't use - but just a simple center dot would be nice). I don't like big knobs, I'd prefer a capped windage knob, the reticle looks just about...

    The PIG Saddle is here...

    Had the Pig saddle and new Slik carbon fiber tripod out for this last training day. I'm starting to get the hang of it a little more. Glad I bought both.

    Need a good tripod recommendation

    Freeland Tripod Stand - Freeland Stands - Freeland Stands - Scopes & Stands | Creedmoor Sports I had one of these for highpower shooting back in the day. They are rock solid, and are made for sitting and prone spotting scope mounting. They are not "tactical" - but I still have one that's at...

    Maggie’s Epic military photos

    That's not the story I read when I saw these pics years ago. The first died from a rifle shot to the femoral, the second was gravely wounded trying to rescue him.

    Hunting & Fishing Lightweight rifle whitetail hunting optic

    Funny how things work out. Eating breakfast with a friend who is a deer hunter, and he was complaining about how he wanted more magnification than his Nikon 3-9 BDC scope gave him. I told him I had been looking at scopes. He asked if I wanted to buy it for $100. He twisted my arm just right...

    Hunting & Fishing Lightweight rifle whitetail hunting optic

    Those do look strikingly similar. Any chance Leupold owns Redfield?

    Hunting & Fishing Lightweight rifle whitetail hunting optic

    I'm not a big deer hunter. I've shot a few in the past, and got over it (I don't like cold or early). If I'm up early in the cold, I'd rather be shooting ducks. But my father in law leases land to deer hunt, and wanted to take my son deer hunting this year. Cool - maybe he'll get into it...

    Best Military Surplus Outlet to find Grid Squares?

    There has got to be an update to all of these. Buckets of muzzle blast - boxes of grid squares - blinker fluid - muffler bearings - ID10T forms - TRdoulbeE with an A-P-E attachment - all at least 30 years old. Bring the new stuff, guys.

    PTG "bolt in" BDL DBM for Remington SA?

    My concern with this is the future availability of AE mags. I like the drop-in to a BDL-inletted stock, but if the mags aren't available in 5 year (I WILL lose mags), it's not worth it. But I like the idea.

    Rem 700 AAC-SD blues

    The hammer thing worked. No pics yet. I soaked the junction around the lug with kroil, let it sit about an hour, and put it in some vise blocks. After some whacks with a hammer, it's as close to straight as my eyeballs can see. I'll try it in the stock once I find a spare mag, then put it...
