    wanting to custom build a sniper rifle

    This is crazy stupid!!! I,m leaving, and taking my ball with me! I was gonna give some SOLID advice on a .338 Lapua, with a12 in. Barrel. N F 12-42, with Acog on top. Fold ups,on the side, and 2 lights, for a complete long range, CQC do it all gun,but YOU killed the mood. Officially moving to...

    Surprised myself today

    UH-OH. A man, standing at the edge of the cliff......... I think reloading , first. Kinda makes/ helps you begin to understand the finer points of accuracy, and pays for itself in the long run. Work on your fundamentals. After you shoot for a while, good glass is a treat, and it can move, like...

    Surprised myself today

    It feels nice, yes? Good for you! Now go do it again!:] And no. You don't need a snap cap. Won't hurt the gun. Only hurts rimfire.

    Best base rifle

    If I knew then............. I've bought quite a few box guns, hoping to get what I wanted. Problem is what I want now, after a lot of trigger time, is a custom laser. It took 3 or 4 yrs, but here I am looking at doing a custom. If I could do it over. I'd get 1 gun to shoot for while. make sure...

    savage short throat dilemma

    I almost wish I had your problem. I own 3 Rem 700 and they all have long throats, so I have to hand load to 2.94 to get close to the lands. All I can say is don't have it reamed too deep. Get a smith to ream it for the round you want to shoot.

    help find a sniper rifle

    DON"T show these! Officially, they're illegal, as they shoot a projectile over 1/2 in. and are considered a "weapon of mass destruction". Definitely NOT California legal. What's the twist rate on yours, by the way? I couldn't get mine to stabilize an 820 grner past 50 yds. I built 3, and...

    30 remington AR

    Hey Bill: I. too. have one of those old pump guns, in 30 Rem. Luckily, I also have one in 35 Rem, so I can still get ammo for it. The 30 Rem AR is just a shortened .308, and not close to the older cartridge. I got excited about it, thinking the same as you.

    Pressure signs with shorter OAL??????

    No offense taken. Thanks for the feedback. Thanks for the link, Mattj. This was a case of "I've been loading for 25 yrs., and I know what I'm doing" and a last minute decision to go shoot. Actually, I've done the same thing, before, but with much lighter loads. This was the first time with a...

    Pressure signs with shorter OAL??????

    Sorry .It's a 168 BTHP. My thoughts were: farther off the lands= lower pressure, and did not think the reduced volume would be such an issue. With no pressure signs for 300[ app]. previous loads at the longer length, I thought I had more wiggle room. So much for tunnel vision, and assumptions...

    Pressure signs with shorter OAL??????

    I was trying some shorter {mag length} test loads today. My "accurate load", for my remmy 700 is 2.94, or 2 Ks off the lands. 44.7 Varget, federal brass and federal primers. I prepped all brass the same and only changed the OAL down to 2.8 for 25 out of 50 reloads. {OALS are "representative" of...

    The world of .308 ARs - hesitant to jump in...

    I have a DPMS SASS that runs on anything, has no problems, and is pretty accurate. It's a few years old. Not bad for a "cheap" 308. But it is heavy for this older guy, though I wouldn't mind banging it around for a hunting gun once in a while. My GAP was finicky until I figured out what it...

    Will this scope fit?

    I have the 42, in 300 win mag, with a NF 8-32 on her. Europtic set it up for me. I never measured the rings to see what height they were. I'd just call THEM and ask. All nice guys.

    Any opinions on a Sako TRG 42 in 300WM?

    Just my thoughts. I own one. Great rifle, and shoots small groups. But, I shoot it a little, cause I "read somewhere" that the 300 Win Mag will burn a barrel in 1000 rnds. What's the round count?
