    Photos new shotgun i'm hoping to restore

    Re: new shotgun i'm hoping to restore Remember my old cadet captain talking about how he dragged one through vietnam for a year or so with the Kiwis. Said something along the lines of it being more reliable than having two AK's and the only time it failed to fire was when he'd stuffed the...

    Bipod Placement on a Sliding Rail

    Re: Bipod Placement on a Sliding Rail Most people place it as far forward as possible. However, if it works better for you further back (ie: you are getting better results, or easier results), then place it there.

    Please educate me on bolt rifle brands / models

    Re: Please educate me on bolt rifle brands / models Some do, some don't. Remington quality control has gone out the window. Due to the scale of production, factory rifles like Savage and Howa usually accept around 1-2MOA as accurate. Tikka is about the same, though i vaguely remember someone...

    Lefty...worth switching to Righty?

    Re: Lefty...worth switching to Righty? You can find/order Lefty Remingtons, Savages, Tikkas, Rugers (if you're so inclined...) I prefer Tikkas. But Remingtons are also good.

    AICS for a lefty, suggestions?

    Re: AICS for a lefty, suggestions? If not, you can get the AICS in Lefthand, and then get Viperskins for the pistol-grip. I reckon it looks and feels better than the uber-tactical AX.

    'Tactical' .223 on a budget

    Re: 'Tactical' .223 on a budget Consider a .22 if you don't have one. You'll get a ridiculous amount of practice from it compared to .223

    What's the successor cartridge to the 5.56 NATO?

    Re: What's the successor cartridge to the 5.56 NATO? Of course the XM25 is going to falter due to the budget. But so is any prospect of a new round for NATO or the US. Once there is new money to be spent, the XM25 will likely be adopted, especially since they will now have more time for R&D...

    Getting a stock for me Rem 700 VTR

    Re: Getting a stock for me Rem 700 VTR Any stock inletted for a heavy varmint contour or larger will accomodate the triangular barrel of the VTR. However, if you're new to this whole thing (which is fine, i'm just assuming due to the Viperskins comment), then i'd suggest practice (and...

    Re: Just finished the Tough Mudder in Attica, IN Well me and a mate started running today, gonna try to get fit-ish enough for it. Is everyone there flat out running? Or is it more of a jog/death-march between obstacles?

    Ishapore Enfield .308 built as modern prec rifle?

    Re: Ishapore Enfield .308 built as modern prec rifle? I'd settle for an L39, i like the cut down stock. But agreed, it's not worth butchering one to create an L42. As for the Ishapore, it's not worth cutting up either. I mean, you CAN. But for the money you'd outlay on a quality stock, and...

    Ishapore Enfield .308 built as modern prec rifle?

    Re: Ishapore Enfield .308 built as modern prec rifle? I saw that one go up and i almost cried. L42 is the second on my list, below an FR F2. Guess they're as rare in the US as they are down here.

    Just when I thought I had my mind made up!

    Re: Just when I thought I had my mind made up! Tikka T3 if you want to be different. I haven't had much experience with a Remmy so i won't comment on them. Savage are also good for the price. But a bit rough on the edges. EDIT: Also, Welcome to the hide.
