    16-18" bolt action killin rigs: show em.

    Have had this 308 for a while but being too busy ramping up for some matches and adventure races I just got it out today. I will eventually put up a full range report but I'm so happy with how it shot I couldn't wait (and it's about time someone got this thread going again). Only 30 rounds...

    New Ammo and Components Comapny, What Do You Want to See?

    That is correct. The only source for loaded ammo for it that I know of is Copper Creek.

    Am I foolish for holding out?

    For a 7mm you need to go long action for the sake of BC. 7 Rem Mag is great but I think the 280AI is better than that. However, I prefer short actions for competition for several reasons. One reason is keeping a cheek weld when you get to a stage that requires 12 quick rounds is far easier...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Another 1911 comparison thread?

    I do not think you can get a well running 1911 with the minimum features I deem necessary out of the box for $800, but you can come close. As CRT2 said, get a Kimber and have someone tune it. I would add to that Sig and Springfield. I have 1911s by at least a dozen manufacturers/smiths and here...

    Swaro VS. Vortex Binos

    You are moving in the right direction. My Swaro bino experience goes back 25 years. Not only is the glass amazing but should you need to make a service call you will find that they are top notch. Swaros are worth every penny.

    Tactical Rifles M40T7 Questions

    To anyone finding themselves in a similar position, do yourself a favor and walk away from anything produced by this company. Even thinking about them may result in bad karma, blurred vision and inexplicable joint pain. Looks like your Google-fu cleared the acrid haze. Anyone unfortunate enough...

    New Ammo and Components Comapny, What Do You Want to See?

    6.5CM and 6.5 SAUM choices, both hunting and match. I am looking for some solid product reviews and a company that remains active in the community for a long period of time. I'm just ordered some 308 for a new build. I wish you guys all the best.

    What I would have missed without the "Hide" Sound off..

    Right on Diver. I will do everything I can in the coming weeks to post up content that I hope will be useful. For a long time I have benefited from the Hide (meaning the experience of Frank and so many members) and vendors. I owe a debt to lots of folks on here. Some us may get weary of seeing...

    Best Day Pack

    For a pack with clean lines I have used Arcteryx for at least 15 years. Some of them have taken abuse that would have shredded other packs and they are great at handling loads. But none of them have lots of accessory pockets for stuff you need to get to in a hurry. Osprey is another great choice...

    Rifle Scopes new pic rail out of spec?

    Interesting. Because there is usually plenty of room +/- to play with what you are describing seems something may be way out of spec, if I am reading correctly. Once you have the rings in position to fit into any two grooves you should be able to move the scope into any other pair of grooves...

    Rifle Scopes NF SHV F1 interesting info

    Hot dang, that is an excellent find. Like so many products out there we have another undocumented feature (well, I just checked the owners manual and couldn't find it). Thanks for posting.

    Rifle Scopes Useful FFP Reticle / Magnification Range

    fxdrider is right about the usefulness of the FFP reticle at lower magnification range being will depend on your eyes (mine are not what they used to be so I am very limited at 4-6x). However, when a target is close enough that I'm dialed down it's usually close enough that I'm not ranging and I...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Shopping... Burris XTR II, Nightforce SHV, Vortex PST G2

    ^^^ I have the SHV (definitely outshines the Gen I PST) and an LRHS. Between those I would go SHV again without hesitation. My experience with NF in general has been great. I haven't had hands on the PST Gen II but they are getting some good press. Whoever said scope shopping is stressful is...

    Muzzle brake suggestions.

    I have a preference for APA, but I don't have a wide variety of brakes there are many more muzzle brakes out there that have great reviews. See the below link for a brake review.

    Need input in next long range hunting caliber. 30 nosler vs 300 win

    I also have a 300 Win Mag and chose 280 Ackley Improved for my next long action rifle. Almost a 7 Rem Mag with better barrel life and less blast. Very good for long range targets and everything from antelope to elk. Great bullet selection, no belts, recoil is less than what I expected. The...

    Would there be any reason to get a 17" barrel over a 22" barrel for 308?

    I have an 18" 308 specifically for hunting in tight woods from tree stands. After having it built I realized an 18-incher is capable of so much more. What we need to do is get the shorty rifle section up and running again but instead of just all the tasty gun porn add in performance commentary.
