    Re: cleaning rusty chamber well I kind of decided that all I could do is ruin a ruined barrel so I chucked a cleaning rod in my cordless drill and put a 20 gauge brush on the end and after soaking the whole brush and chamber with bore paste I ran the brush in and out of the chamber for about...

    Re: Holla Bitches. then I am the ultimate wimp, haven't had anything stronger than powerade and coke in 21 yrs. I woke up one morning and had to wonder what the f*ck I was doing. I decided self inflicted FLU on a daily basis was the truest display of my stupidity. But all that aside I love...

    new sps tactical with hogue overmold

    Re: new sps tactical with hogue overmold I can't roll this back it actually extends about 5/8" back up the barrel channel. I was told by a freind at Mcmillan that if I cut the offending material out of the channel that it will eventually begin to separate from the stock. So with that in...

    new sps tactical with hogue overmold

    I bought a new 700 sps with a hogue over mold stock. The first day I got to the range it was early in the am and kind of cool and I was able to get under an inch group at 100. I took it out yesterday in the afternoon (alot hotter, about 100degrees) and the groups opened up to almost 2". I...

    ELR - Arizona, Colorado

    Re: ELR - Arizona, Colorado the area north of I10 and miller road is now under the control of the national guard, and as a resident of Buckeye I can tell you, don't go shooting up there any more. Then again maybe you have a better relationship with the LEO's than the rest of us.

    Re: it's a shooter, range report thank you captain, I don't know if it was due to it being 1st shot out a new barrel or if I was just to excited but it shot better that I expected out of some cheap federal ammo I was able to pick up at wally world.

    it's a shooter, range report

    in an earlier post I gushed over my new (albeit small by most standards) fire arm investment. Well I couldn't wait to get it out to my range and with the exception of the first round hitting 1" low and 1/4" to the left, I put the remaining 9 shots of a 10 shot group in a quarter at 100yds...

    now I hope I can get back into the fun

    after lurking here for a long time and building several good shooting mini 14 (ala perfect union) yesterday I made a trip to the store and got started into precision bolt rifles again. I left with a Remington 700 SPS with a 20" bull barrell, Hogue overmold stock. On top of that sits a Nikon...

    mini 14 target rifle

    Re: mini 14 target rifle don't give up on your mini. There are many inexpensive mods you can do yourself to get your older mini's and the new 580 mdls to shoot moa or better. Historicly the mini 14 are not very accurate, but after adding a homemade barrell strut (see perfectunion.com) doing...
