    Beautiful rifle, your wife must be pleased.

    Gunsmithing Thanks PT&G!

    Lol, I am about to start an online storefront and see if I can make a living by just listing a bunch of products as out of stock (backorder ok!). When I get orders I'll just let the customer know that it will be about 6-8 years before their backorder is filled, and if they want to cancel I can...

    I got pulled over.

    The term that we should be talking about is "reasonable suspicion". Not sure what about the OP's situation gave the officer legal, reasonable suspicion. And that's fine that you think its okay to unfairly treat 99 or 999 people to get that 1 person, but that's not how the law works. The term...

    I got pulled over.

    OP said he doesn't drink, the underage person was 17 so let's assume they weren't drinking, and if the legal-aged passenger had been drinking -- who gives a fuck?! Again I'll mention that in my area, getting pulled over for a blinker violation and having 3 various aged/mixed gender people in...

    I got pulled over.

    Idk where you guys live, but where I live its definitely not "suspicious" to have two people in their 20s-30s and a 17 year old in the same car, even if it was late at night. Especially considering that the 17 year old was accompanied by an older family member. You guys must live in some nasty...

    6.5cm brass for those that don’t anneal...???

    Its certainly reassuring to see other's who are not annealing still getting consistent results as they approach double digit firings. Definitely makes you think twice before considering some $400+ annealing setup (or $1000+ for AMP).

    RCBS chargemaster lite worth it?

    My buddy and I just got CM Lite's in the past few weeks and we're both loving them. I just have mine plugged into a surge protector (no fancy UPC or voltage regulator like some are running) and I haven't noticed any drifting. I just follow the instructions: turn it on and let it warm up for...

    6.5cm brass for those that don’t anneal...???

    Looking at Peterson's study that they performed... It kinda makes it seem like annealing won't necessarily improve accuracy or consistency. Sure, the neck tension increased as the number of firing increased, but the velocities were staying consistent which is the main goal. But potentially...

    Shooting glasses?

    How is the comfort of the ESS ICE with ear protection (over-ear muffs)? I have been looking at eye shields like these because I have been finding that when I shoot prone the upper frame on my Wiley X is obstructing my view ever so slightly and its distracting. I have also read that the...

    Gunsmithing can a barrel be re-contoured?

    Does anyone ever really contour OR flute a barrel before it has been rifled?! I think you want to have the barrel drilled and rifled, and then indicated on a lathe true to the bore so that the contour and fluting are concentric to the bore.

    ARC Mag Problem - Help?

    I think that is the right approach if your DBM is functioning properly with other magazines. Just take a little off at a time and keep checking it until it fits and functions.

    Hide shipping and responses

    Stuff does happen, but it only takes a quick minute to send someone a PM or email saying that you didn't get a chance to ship something out and it will be another day or two, etc. etc. Not saying that your being scammed or anything like that, but something to consider when giving feedback on...

    Best quality Sub $2,000 rifles...

    I just don't get it. Any other forum I've ever been a part of would just be absolutely ripping up these threads where people come in everyday and ask "whats the best rifle for XXX". I'm very impressed that people here are able to hold it together. Sorry OP for picking on you, b/c I could have...

    Maggie’s Who's Ditched The East Coast For Montana, Idaho, WY, ND or SD?

    Funny how these threads pop up... I too am also considering a move into the western area of the country... Have lived in RI my whole life and its really starting to suck the life out of me. Weather is so unpredictable, winters seems to get longer and longer, and then when the weather finally...

    Shooting glasses?

    If your looking for relatively cheap options checked on Wiley X and ESS, they have a lot of different models to choose from and most can be purchased with interchangeable lenses. I have a pair of Wiley X and for 50 bucks they came with a case, cleaning cloth, 3 sets of lenses, and they seem...

    Rifle Scopes Tract Toric 30mm UHD 4-20 ffp

    Definitely looks like a decent offering for the price with some good features. Looking at the specs it mentions an elevation adjustment of only 20 mils which seems pretty low but with a 20 MOA base you should still be okay. Design/aesthetics look clean and attractive, but I wish they had some...

    Atlas Bipod issue-wish I had known!

    Let's get something straight here. The Atlas bipods have a little play in the legs, that increases as you extend the legs further out. This is just a byproduct of the fitment tolerances of the legs. Tighten up the tolerances ---> reduce leg play ---> induce binding. Obviously binding is not...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    Thanks you sir. I guess the question now is whether my Seekins low rings will be too close for comfort or if I will need to jump up the extra .04" that the ARC's provide. Secretly hoping for an excuse to pick up a set of the ARC rings... oh my how I long to mount a scope with 4 screws total vs...

    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    Bit of a loaded question but... Is anyone running ARC rings on their TL3 with a 50mm objective scope and a M24 (or similar) barrel profile? I have a DMR2 mounted in Seekins low (0.90") rings over a Rem Varmint profile barrel, and I will be moving it to a TL3 build in the near future with a M24...
