    EDM Arms XM408

    I have the single shot variant, the EDM SS-97 in .408. IIRC, my most accurate loading in 129.5gr of RL-25, 419gr TSI Armory bullet, Jamison brass. To "save money" , EDM was nice enough to make me a .338LM conversion (barrel, bolt). The quality of the machining is second to none and their...

    Waiting for my Volqiartsen TF-17

    Hey Brother, Don't feel singled out. Not that it will make you feel any better but the wait for my Fusion went steadily from 8 weeks to 1 year. This was last year. To be fair, I must admit that comms with Volquartsen were frequent so at least they kept me in the loop. Never once had...

    H&K G3

    Very, very interesting for us HK91 owners. Outstanding items both of which I would love to have. Please keep us posted on this.

    Accuracy of bolt vs. semi-autos

    My Volquartsen Fusion is remarkably accurate for a semi but I could not keep up with my friend's Lilja barreled Sako...as he repeatedly reminds me. I shot both side by side BTW. He was bragging about his rifle, not his shooting ability. =)

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Picture Thread

    1911 Colt Series 70 reissue. Totally gutted down to the frame and slide then filled with goodness. Finally, Melanized inside and out. 18,500 rounds. Outside of changing the recoil springs every 3K as preventative maintenance, no parts breakage. Third barrel with a Kart in it now.

    Night Vision Wilcox RAPTAR and RAPTAR lite

    I received my RAPTAR Lite ES in tan from PRG the other day. While I am a civilian shooter, I've used full power DBALs and PEQ15s but the RAPTAR is perfect for my needs (courses and hopefully a hog hunt). I did not get the rangefinder version because as someone mentioned, I have a Vectronix for...

    Volquartsen Rifle Lead Times

    She speaks the truth. My original quote was 4 months. I got it in 12. Just the .22LR version. It is worth the wait. At first I was bummed I paid for it and then saw the Sako trainer group buy. But when I finally got it, all of that went away. It is a solid piece of awesome. Likes a wide...

    Maggie’s Van Winkle bourbon in the house

    PVW There are two 10yr olds. The higher proofed 107 tastes better and would be a screaming deal at its $45 price if it weren't vaporware like all VanWinkle products. Having the recent theft from the Buffalo Trace distillery of 65 cases of the 20yr old and 10 yr old isn't going to help...

    Picked up my Larue 18" .308 PredatOBR today

    Wes, First of all, good to see around. I had no idea about the health issues. I wish you well. My MSTN uppers are still the gold standard. Excellent look at the P'tOBR. When the match barrels are available, I'd be curious to see the accuracy compared to my early OBR. I can't make...

    .22LR lever action recommendations

    I'm just having my Dad's old Marlin 39A restored. Sentimentality aside, it's my favorite .22. And that's after getting a Volquartsen Fusion after a year wait. Awesome rifles.

    Springfield Armory SOCOM

    I sincerely hope you enjoy your SOCOM. I unfortunately had the misfortune to buy one when they first came out. That's when I became very familiar with typing "USGI parts" into a search engine. Mine fired two rounds before eating its extractor and ejector. Round three brass stuck in the...

    Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

    Chocolate Optifast shake. First day of Optifast diet program for the next three months. Half way through day one and I want to kick a puppy. Staring at three bottles of PVW and nearly four cases of single malt scotches for the next three months will make me homicidal.

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    My 4802 1.46/44.4 MOA Spuhr with a S&B 5-25x56 actually did touch the rail. I messed up and should have went with the 4602 1.46/22.6. I got the mount on the board for a great deal so I make it work for now. I actually had the top rail machined out to alleviate the contact.
