    Did my gunsmith destroy my barrel?

    I brought in my R700 to get a new Shilen barrel with a .308 dummy round and a 168gr SMK loaded to Standard COAL. But when I got the gun back, I discovered it was almost exactly like my old barrel. Even with 175gr SMKs, it has a bit more than .1" of freebore, almost 1/8th inch with 168SMKs. I...

    Pelican or Storm case?

    Re: Pelican or Storm case? I've only used Pelican and SKB's 3I line, so I can't really speak for Storm. But I would have to recommend Pelican just for their long standing reputation for protective cases. The only downside is that I find them to be too narrow, I can usually only fit one long...

    Harris Bipod Wiggle?

    Re: Harris Bipod Wiggle? Well it looks like you have the adapter on there pretty solid. Just tighten the screw. It looks like you mounted the bipod but didn't tighten the screw. It may be a dumb question but I feel like I should ask, did you read the instructions?

    Another miserable experience with Botach

    Re: Another miserable experience with Botach They may have the most piss poor reliability, but I'm cheap. And I'm patient. Over V-day I picked up a Multicam Eberlestock Halftrack pack and a Harris BRMS bipod for $250 shipped. It was easily a $320 value order. I got the pack a few days...

    gun case foam?

    Re: gun case foam? We used to buy a lot of it from these guys: http://www.thefoamfactory.com/ Free shipping over a certain price too, which is pretty significant when shipping oversize.

    Why do you buy cheep safes?

    Re: Why do you buy cheep safes? I'm not sure actually, because when I buy a safe I want to make sure it doesn't cheep. That sound can get annoying after a while.

    Suppressors Silencerco's New Staff Video

    This was just posted on YouTube not too long ago, I didn't expect their staff to be well...my age. I'm not sure how to word it, but its a bit concerning to see. Neglecting the fact that they make great cans, am I the only one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5ZQsZxck3Y
