    F T/R Competition Mirage Shields

    After much researching...far too much for such an item....I happened across a site selling Venetian blind sections long enough for a 32" barrel. It was like $1.50 and $3.72 shipped or something ridiculous like that. I'll probably reinforce it a bit with something, but dang was that a cheap...

    Good(?) Article on Barrel Length

    I really didn't think it was a good article. So by halving the barrel length it resulted in a 15% reduction in velocity and they pretend this is insignificant. For long range shooting/hunting we move up to magnum cartridges to get ballistics and energy at extended range, and get this or less...

    America's Big Tiger Problem

    I won't opine on the accuracy of the numbers in the article as I have no data, but there is a wild feline rescue center near here which houses about 200 cats. The VAST majority of them are tigers. Most of these cats came from people who had them illegally as pets, at least according to the...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 5-20 vs. Burris XTRII 5-25 or 4-20

    Interesting. Own both. Perhaps anecdotal but I really can't agree with the sentiments giving glass props to SWFA. I like the SWFA but get what I pay for and like the Burris better.

    Rifle Scopes Help me choose a sorta .22 scope

    Most of my 22s wear 2-7 $70 scopes. A couple precision up to 15X. I can't imagine a reason for more magnification unless the gun will NEVER be shot at shorter ranges. If I can shoot highpower to 1K yards with a 4-16X kinda hard to justify such glass on a 22....

    Ackley Improved Questions

    If properly headspaced, the parent cartridge will be a slight crush fit in the chamber. This holds it firmly while the shoulder blows out. I don't get this "using barrel life to fireform" piece. My fireforming loads are high end loads of the parent cartridge and shoot very accurately - I did...

    300wm sizing ?

    I load 200s to 2970, no slouch, and have brass with 12 firings only bumping the shoulder twice. No need for other fancy dies.

    Chassis help for Remington

    I have an XLR Element feeding 20 Practical from the mag. If it will feed that it will feed 223 no issues. Not sure the specifics on the issues you encountered?

    Wanting to build a .5 Moa gas gun???

    I bought a RRA upper/lower and a Kreiger 20" barrel and used a Geissele 2-stage trigger. With handloads it is always in the .4-.5 MOA range. Never better, seldom worse.

    Bore pitting near muzzle?

    The real question is whether the rifle shoots. If so, carry on. So many people posting "issues" found with borescopes yet the barrels shoot just fine....

    UPS Eats Ass

    Ordered an AR wall safe through Cabelas. Tracking says it leaves Cabelas, an hour later it checks into a UPS hub. 2 weeks later, it's still there. Somewhere. Behind some conveyor, I guess. They obviously don't care they have lost it. Call Cabelas. They write if off and ship me another...

    Semi-Auto Breakdown and Buying Guide?

    Unless you care about coatings, you're probably money ahead to build your own. These really are adult LEGOS. All you need is an action block and a bench vise. You can borrow the torque wrench to install the barrel from AutoZone. What really makes the difference accuracy wise is a quality...

    Shooting close to home...media getting it right so far

    We had a school shooting in Noblesville IN, just 20 miles from where I work and 30 from where my kids were in school. Apparently the kid opened fire in a science classroom and the teacher, a former college defensive back, took action and tackled him while knocking the gun away - but took 3...

    Budget Savage pattern barrels?

    At this point I have to assume you just aren't the sharpest knife in the drawer. We would all love $250, .5MOA, muzzle threaded Savage barrels. But for many really rational reasons, which have been described to you as nauseum, this isn't the case. Yet you think you know the market better...

    Long range short mag caliber

    I still say 300WSM. You can cleanly take deer sized game at that range with a 7mm, but I am NOT a fan when you move to larger game. You can shoot the 180s at short action length and it will work.

    Budget Savage pattern barrels?

    If there truly were such a hole in the market, some enterprising barrel maker would have stepped in to capitalize and fill it. That's how the market works. I think this hole is only in your imagination.

    Long range short mag caliber

    If you care about factory ammo, the only one which makes ANY sense from that list is the 300 WSM. Factory ammo...22 inch barrel...squeezing a WSM into a short action....this is really not optimal for a "long range" rig. And out to 800 yards, the ONLY one I'd consider is the 300 WSM. I have...

    Budget Savage pattern barrels?

    The problem is most people are pretty happy with an MOA AR. If people want an MOA Savage, you just use the factory barrel. Nobody is going to be pleased with an aftermarket barrel that is only MOA. Add this to the list of reasons bolt barrels are more expensive. The last coated, muzzle...
