    My first precision rifle

    Re: My first precision rifle Thanks guys. As soon as I get the opportunity to take it out to the range I'll report back. The test target that came with the rifle had a .21" 3 shot group at 100 yards - so I'm hoping that's a good indicator of what this rifle is capable of.

    My first precision rifle

    I'm getting married this summer and my birthday is coming up soon, so I decided to splurge on something I've been interested in getting into for quite some time now - a precision rifle setup. I wanted something that would be of decent quality and last quite a long time as I probably won't be...

    HELP - Winchester 70 bolt stuck (pic included)

    Any ideas on how to fix this? So, I was trying to disassemble my Winchester Model 70 bolt - I pushed down on the retaining pin to spin the rear of the bolt around to start unscrewing it, but instead it got stuck - it won't budge because it's now jammed in this groove...See below: ETA...

    Re: Any FN SPR owners out there? I just picked up an FN SPR A5M and went with the SWFA SS HD 5-20. What size rings do you recommend for that type of set up? And which brand?

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 5-20 SS HD - Question about illumination

    So, I finally decided to join the precision shooting game for the first time - I ended up getting an FN SPR A5M with a 24" fluted barrel. I'm hoping this rifle will serve me well and last hopefully a lifetime. After extensive research (mostly from this forum) I've realized the best type of...
