    out of the closet

    SWFA has good "basic" scopes for reasonable prices. Used can be found here, arfcom, eBay, etc. https://swfa.com/scopes/swfa-ss/ Used Vortex Viper PST Gen 1 or Gen 2 would provide you with another slightly better scope choice.

    Hold for heavy recoil

    Yeah, maybe their engineers learned that from Remington's lawyers in the 1980's.....Regardless, most (of course not all) modern projectiles as mentioned above are quite jump tolerant.

    Help Requested: Random Rounds won't chamber

    Redding Competition shellholder? That's reducing your shoulder bump.....as possibly Zero shoulder bump.

    So here we go, the Deep State is on the move.

    Do I still need to cover up the serial number too? Or is that a waste of time?

    Gifted something kinda cool….

    Oh yeah, you can get decent coin for the boxes on flea-bay

    CMP long range shoot

    CMP and NRA (had) have been doing the "Long range" matches at Camp Perry since the early 1900's....nice that they are finally going E-targets at Perry though.

    Remington 700 Custom Shop M40ish ID help!

    It's not a "smear" stock either, just a McMillan forest camo with texture (texture wasn't a M40A1 spec). Nice custom rifle though.

    M1a

    Always fun to take it out once in a while.

    FYI: CMP

    Here? Not really. Even less participation than NRA F-class.......Besides, everyone here needs a weblink. Just reading a bulletin pinned to your club's outhouse isn't going to get any people here interested.

    . 308 over Pressure or bad chamber

    Very possible that the headspace is correct, just your "sizing to factory die setting" could be overdoing it to the brass. Measuring shoulder from fired brass with a comparator is a common method.

    . 308 over Pressure or bad chamber

    Maybe it's "long" headspace.....or maybe ".002" stated above is not correct? How are you confirming/measuring?

    Normal wear on Rem 700 bolt cam surface?

    Yeah, looks like mine....

    Stiller bolt damage

    In the mid-2000's when Win primers were notorious for pinholes I have a ring of pinholes in both my M1 Garand and LRB M14 bolts. Cosmetic really, although still annoying. But, just how hot are your reloads if primers are flattening and flowing into the divots?

    Social Media Users Obliterate the FBI After It Uses Two WHITE Female Models to Boast They’re Combatting Looting by Organized Gangs!

    Really, who is watching the two upper middle-class white girls when a younger brown "urban" customer is shopping?........Be honest. The organized theivery is way bigger than the flash mob. I agree they used a dumb example though.

    Spotters Kowa Prominar vs Vortex Razor... Have we done this?

    You will never see a High Power (that is the proper spelling, I was using "shorthand") "Across The Course" stand at PRS matches due to their slow set-up, but I do see some PRS "style" tripods that lay legs flat at XTC matches. The general concensus on the Polecat is that it is a bit "wobbly" in...

    ‘I Wanted to Blow It’: Low-Income Mom Given $10K from D.C. Taxpayer-Funded Program Spends $6K on Vacation

    Hmmm, reminds me of all the "Covid stimulus money" rifle builds we saw posted here.....oops, did I say that out loud?

    Spotters Kowa Prominar vs Vortex Razor... Have we done this?

    I have been using the TSN 663 for over 10 years shooting Highpower. Kowa is the favored company in Highpower, not just because of glass and image quality, but because of the eyepiece feature. The LER (Long Eye Relief) 25/27X eyepiece allows you to shoot in position and still be able to easily...

    Help... Whats in my barrel?

    Still haven't told us if it shoots fine...Yes? Ignore the borescope pics, it's a factory barrel.

    Die Scratching Brass

    How is Whidden's customer support? Even RCBS will take back a die to clean and polish for a small fee.
