    Real gunsmiths chime in.

    To the professionals out there, not the shade tree guys like myself, y'all tell me if I'm on the right track. Some time ago I built myself my first rifle. Trued up my action to the best of my abilities and chambered my first barrel. It shoots pretty decent. Half moa is the norm with minimal...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    This is true. My first order from him was long long ago. Probably before my time here. I think I ordered a scope either from Amazon or maybe ebay and it came from camera land. Little did I know then what a fine establishment that guy runs. Unless I can drive over to Sugarland and pick one up...

    DNT is gonna let us do a reticle

    Eeeehhh, I think I'm about to pick up another one for my vudoo and I popped in to ask about this. Bummer man. Who's got the best price on them at the moment ? Hide discount ? Or just straight to doug ?

    .308 Winchester

    I dint believe it would fail under pressure. I may have been stingy, stinge, stingey, stingee? With the lube or something. Yanked that sucker off on the return stroke. Honestly I'm not sure you couldn't accomplish the same thing with alpha brass that the hybrids are getting me. I went hard on...

    .308 Winchester

    So I picked up 100 of these and formed them to 308. The first few I mandreled up to 7mm then stuffed them in a hornady 308 die. I think I did twenty that way just to try a few for my initial loading. The rest of them got lubed up with imperial sizing wax and crammed straight into the hornady...

    MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

    Damn. I've actually tried to paint rifles and they don't come out that good. I'm fixing to cut my kids loose with some rattle cans.

    Zero Dark Precision

    I'll second the recommendation to ship it to LRI. I had a 700 bolt that needed timed and the handle welded. I had seen some of the work posted here by LRI of the exact job I needed done and it looked superb. I opted to send it to another smith that had done some work for me in the past and boy...

    Need to get the rokslide crew out there with their 223's and 6arc's. They'll make it look like child's play.

    New CHAD clone from Preece.

    A friend of mine designed and produced a highly effective muzzle brake for .50cal use and then scaled the design down to smaller calibers. I still have two of them and they are the most effective, least noisy, (to the shooter) brakes I've used to date. When tested on my 300winmag with a 208gr...

    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    So all things considered the athlon and steiner are pretty equal units ? Or does the athlon have the edge in any other areas ? I'm going back and forth on the athlon and the dnt hydra at the moment. No LRF on the dnt really has me looking more towards the athlon.

    .308 Winchester

    I want to settle on one bullet to shoot in my 308's, bolt gun and gasser. Not the same load, but the same bullet. It needs to fly decent to at least 800 and kill pretty well also. Kind of leaves the the smk out of the picture. I've had good luck with the 178eld-m in my 20" bolt gun, but I feel...

    I'd like to know how he makes a rifle shoot like that. Wouldn't mind studying under him for a few days. Nice looking rifle. GLWS.
