    Alternative choice to push-button sling loops on bolt guns?

    Referencing sling attachments, I lost track of how many carbines spiked the ground with either the "dog leash" snaps or the Mash hooks. The dog leash snaps simply lacked the spring tension and the Mash hooks would open up after a while, allowing them to "unthread" themselves from the attachment...

    Alternative choice to push-button sling loops on bolt guns?

    The Magpul Para Clips are pretty stout and easy on/off, the Uloops would make it fairly easy, technically not needing anything other than a hole. (that's what she said anyhow)

    Geissele SD optic choice-??

    Thoughts? I don't know why Eurooptic doesn't carry it? I do like that reticle https://www.leupold.com/mark-5hd-2-10x30-m5c3-ffp-illum-cmr-mil

    Geissele SD optic choice-??

    Should be picking one(HB model) up soon and thinking on an optic, what am I using it for? Nothing really other than having some fun when/while I can at the range, mainly at 100-300/paper/steel(300)positional and potentially 600 assuming I can hit a 5" plate 5 times in a row at 300. Obviously not...

    Canadian Ranger rifles in the Arctic need replacements, don’t work in the cold

    Guess a temp tolerant synthetic or Aluminum with the appropriate cheekpiece-we know they will most likely have gloves on, one would hope if it's that cold to need protection from the aluminum front end. I haven't experienced cold like that up there, I grew up upstate NY, not as cold but close...

    Canadian Ranger rifles in the Arctic need replacements, don’t work in the cold

    So, technical question here-are these pillar bedded via the magazine housing only or with a combination of pillars? If so, when torqued into together is the shrinking or expansion of the laminate enough to cause loosening of the screws or cracking of the stock, magazine housing etc? Wouldn't...

    Canadian Ranger rifles in the Arctic need replacements, don’t work in the cold

    Pretty sure you are correct on this, licensed to be manufactured in Canada. One would think it would be made to the same specs but you never know. For instance, what if the stocks are being manufactured in Canada and some regulation required a different adhesive for the laminate? Just a...

    Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

    Just saw this as I think I'm finally going to do a 16" .223 in the Screech Owl with an Origin action. But for you with the RAR. https://jtacindustries.com/ruger-american/

    Ideal .223 Bolt Action Plinker (?)

    For money spent, the Ruger Ranch would be a good choice, scope it and have fun. If you plan to start f'ing with it, then look at something like the Tikka. Big thing is, decide what you want and don't try to make something it's not. Example being buying the Ruger and spending 1500 or so with a...
