    Lets talk trucks

    I'm typically a Chevy truck fan but I just bought an expedition for my wife and got a much better deal on it than an equivilent truck. It's wierd but check them out too unless you need the bed for specific use. We got a flatbed trailer we use when it requires more.

    30-06 Build Plan

    I have wanted to do the same thing to my old adl for quite awhile. Good luck with the build. From what I've read I will likely get the serengetti reamer as well. I like the paper ballistics of the nosler 190 gr accubond long range bullet. Thinking 11 twist barlein...

    30-06 shooters, in here...

    I like the classic looks of it. I also debated going with a walnut stock if I could find one very similar to the 700P palm swell and forend with a cm barrel and a nice deep blue to the barreled action similar to what my classic 700 currently looks like but crossed with an m24...

    80 % Lower receiver, Let me know your thoughts

    it makes it mine I guess. I got into 80% lowers mostly as a way to have a true full custom lower with my dob or ssn as the serial number and engravings that mean things to me. going to have one engraved for my brother as well who just got selected into SF and when he comes down, he can mill it...

    80 % Lower receiver, Let me know your thoughts

    I have a jig and harbor freight mill. I messed up my first one as my vise wasn't squared up well enough and I ate into my jig plate trying to go too fast. got into the trigger pin hole area enough that I dint feel comfortable enough to build it. expensive mistake as it was a custom engraved 80%...

    700 Action Rifle Build

    try to find a factory varmint barreled action. replace the stock if it hasn't been done already and shoot it. you can easily find lightly used hunting rifles in the same price or less than a bare action if you look around. I got a r700 adl long action in 30-06 with a 6-25x millett scope for 350...

    2650fps fossible with a 175gr in 18" .308?

    I am leaning towards going with a heavier 30-06 barrel but the discussion came up with a friend about going 308 because of the subsonic use. I also believe accuracy is most important. I was just curious if it could be done. I have recently found more info on 30-06 subsonic loads so that kind...

    2650fps fossible with a 175gr in 18" .308?

    with handloading and different, maybe just more, powder is it possible to get the same velocity from a 24" gun in an 18" gun? if that's a bit tough, is it easier to do in a 20? shooting buddy has a REPR with an 18" barrel and im debating rebarreling my 30-06 into an 18" .308. I like the...

    Rifle Scopes Fixed Parrallax Scopes...how far?

    interesting topic. I don't have anything to add but have held off on the PST 2.5-10x because of the fixed parallax so far. scope I have now has marks on the parallax knob for 50, 100, 200 and then infinity so I assumed it was a close range issue more than long...

    Comprable alternative to 700 AAC-SD?

    what kind of quality issues are you afraid of? all ive been hearing is finish blemishes but $2.95 will fix that in a hardware store... might be able to pick up an older used savage hunting rifle and rebarrel it yourself.

    Bolt gun build, how to start?

    for me, I got and traded a few different factory rifles while I figured out exactly what I wanted. then I started saving for parts at a time as its more budget friendly for me to spend a little at a time and it keeps me interested instead of sitting on a savings account for too long with a gun I...

    Hunting & Fishing The PERFECT hunting Caliber/Rifle?

    I say have fun with the build if that's what you really want to build. only one way to find out if its best for you. that said, 30-06 does everything I envision ever needing it to do for me. recoil can be right on the edge of as much as I want to mess with and going between 110gr and 220gr...

    SWAT Article BARREL LENGTH in this article they tested and state that 22" is about right for 300 win mag as they started getting velocity losses below that.
