    If you could only have one AR platform

    I would go with an 18" AR-10 style rifle. a buddy of mine has an 18" REPR and I like it but I personally wouldn't go with the side charger or piston. a mk-12 looking build in 308 would be sweet...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Little Glock Project

    I recently had my finger grooves removed and a full stipple job and I love it. I really want to do a grip chop to a 19 mag but leave the backstrap long and flush with the 19 mag. maybe a bobtail look to it. just not sure I want to mess with what I have built already or get another to chop...

    308 All Purpose Lightweight / Sub MOA?

    my all purpose lightweight hunting gun will be a r700 aac-sd model. 20" 308 in a 5R takeoff stock. can be had easily for less than $1k. add in a PTG bottom metal and a 10 round mag with a badger 20MOA base and your set. or at least that's my plan.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 - what would you spend $1000 - 2000 on if you had the cash

    i would try to look into holding one. the biggest complaint with the TRP is the checkering on the grip. ive seen more trophy match pistols in shops personally but they have the same 20lpi checkering. 30 lpi is more common on kimber models ive dealt with. I think the 25lpi would be about right...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 - what would you spend $1000 - 2000 on if you had the cash

    I liked the TRP. would go up to a DW Valor next and then a Wilson Combat CQB if I had the cash for one. that said, like anything else, after owning a couple different models with different features, you find exactly what you want or don't and then a custom build is soon to follow. as far as...

    M14 any good at 800 ?

    if you plan on doing a lot of high pressure loads, look into a Schuster adjustable gas plug or a notched gas piston if you don't need the adjustability.

    700 Long action just sitting around :'(

    I plan on going with a bartlein m24 1:11 twist from bugholes.com. debating wether or not I want to put a brake on mine as well. looking at a APA fat bastard brake on a 24". will roughly be the same length as a 26" but my goal is long range primarily. if you don't want to go as heavy, I really...

    AK-47 Maadi RPM long barrel

    very nice. was always curious if there was much advantage to them over a regular carbine ak47. I imagine it would be about as much as a regular ar15 rifle vs carbine but was thinking more along the lines of ballistic advantages. now if you could get a 1-4x scope mounted as low as possible and...

    M14 any good at 800 ?

    is it a true USGI military m14 or is it a USGI spec springfield m1a or norinco etc. built with usgi parts? transferable select fire? it can be done with a m14 but it is difficult/expensive to make it repeatable and then will require more maintenance. I love a good m14 pattern rifle. had a...

    want a do it all rifle

    couple people beat me to it but "do it all rifle" to me says 30-06. a 22" bartlein sendero in a Manners EH-1 would be nice and light enough. short and handy to go hunting with. stock shape lends to good bench shooting with a rear bag. can load it from 30-30 levels with a cast bullet up to 190gr...

    700 Long action just sitting around :'(

    I have a 30-06 right now that I will be building with a heavy barrel and stock. it will most likely stay 30-06. my reasons for doing so, and im usually a 308 fan, are that I can easily match 308 loads in a 30-06 and still go up to the light 300 win mag loads. there are several people here who...

    Help with add-ons for a new long range rig

    i would go with a Manners with a mini chassis. by the time you count in bedding and DBM, it evens out pretty nicely.

    advice.. rem 700 30.06 hunting/ plinking rifle

    i would look for a 5R or 700P take-off stock. this will be a good stiff stock that will allow you to fit a Varmint contour in the future if you want to rebarrel it. im planning on a heavier M24 contour in a 700P stock that will need to be opened up a bit. i need the weight to help with recoil...
