    Gunsmithing Camo patterns - looking for some ideas

    I've done some Duracoating in the past and have begun building a library of colors. Thus far I've got OD green, black, extreme gray, and coyote brown. I've really got an interest in doing up a snake skin pattern - thinking copperhead or cottonmouth type paterns. Nothing too crazy. Also...

    10/22 Takedown 16" Threaded

    Re: 10/22 Takedown 16" Threaded Very nice. I've just put together what I'm calling a backpacker/survival rifle. Its a 10/22 with a Butler Creek folding stock. The barrel, like yours, is a 16" threaded barrel with the sight base moved back. I've since installed a set of Nodak Spud sights...

    Rifle Scopes mil or moa scopes advantages/disadvantages

    Re: mil or moa scopes advantages/disadvantages Like most folks, I'm sure, I grew up using hunting type scopes that used the MOA adjustments. That was simple. Now that I've gotten into using reticles that feature mil dots, it is counter productive (in my feeble mind) to use a mil dot scope...

    Any Daniel Defense fans here?

    Re: Any Daniel Defense fans here? I just finished up a 2-day Optic/Carbine class sponsored by Aimpoint. Daniel Defense supplied about 12 rifles for us to use during the training. I know that it is a marketing/R&D tool for them, but I was very appreciative of their willingness to let us...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more! My wife caught onto my gun/scope spending habits about a month ago and put the old smackdown on spending - dang if she doesn't have the summer off and was able to check the mail before I did. She basically said "If one more box comes to the...

    Rifle Scopes Scout optic for my M1A Scout

    Re: Scout optic for my M1A Scout I just finished a two day Aimpoint trainig course and I'm sold. Although we only worked at short distances I've had great success using red dots for precision work at longer distances. I think you'd be pleasantly surprised with a red dot out front on your...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 5-20 and ADM on a flat top

    I'm wondering if anyone has an answer for me on this? I'm planning to put a SS 5-20 on a flat top rifle. I'm looking at the ADM AD-RECON S mount that has the 30mm rings. Looking to see if the scope will clear. Thanks in advance, Ranger413

    Rifle Scopes 50 bmg scope options / upgrade

    Re: 50 bmg scope options / upgrade With the "facebook" sale I decided to finally take the plunge into SWFA's HD line-up. The 5-20X will be here tomorrow along with a set of Barrett rings. I'll have my "dream set-up" I guess. I'll leave the 20X in the original Barrett rings that came with...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    Re: SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more! I just sent my order in for a 5-20. This'll be the most expensive scope I've ever bought. I'll try it out atop my Barrett M99. If the "likes" reach 10,000 I'll be on the fence to buy the combo deal. The 5-20 would fit nice on many of my...

    Rifle Scopes SS20x42 questions

    Re: SS20x42 questions I have a 20X mounted on my .50 BMG rifle for match shooting. The range is fixed at 1000 yards so the 20X makes most sense. I also have a 10X on my M1A. Just recently I finished a sniper class where we engaged targets out to 600 yards. The scope I used was a Leupold...

    This just out from Creedmoor!

    Re: This just out from Creedmoor! A friend of mine purchased the scope that they have mounted on that rifle for his particular clone. Be warned that the mounts that come with that scope are not without fault and the two-stage mounting screw set-up looses tension while shooting. Another...

    Rifle Scopes Quick Detach Scope Mounting Options

    I'm considering a one-piece base to mount my main optic and for my back-up scope. The rifle is a Barrett M99. I'm not too concerned with cant on the scope bases. The scopes I'm using and planning to upgrade to have enough adjustment range to get me out to 1000 yards for match shooting...

    Rogue M1A or Bulldog 762 Gen 4 Stock

    Re: Rogue M1A or Bulldog 762 Gen 4 Stock I too am considering the Rogue or Bulldog. Seems like the Rogue is more popular. Currently I have a Sage EBR mounted Scout. I like the look and feel of the stock, and accuracy so far is very acceptable. However, it is definately not a stock to be...

    Rifle Scopes 50 bmg scope options / upgrade

    I've been using a SWFA SS 20X atop a Barrett M99 and have been generally satisfied. However, I think a scope with more clarity and the variable power adjustment would help me battle mirage and overall perform better during matches. Leupold Mark 4 and Nightforce NXS scopes dominate the line at...

    AR platform 308 build advice - manufac./suppliers

    Long ago I built my own M4gery based on a bushmaster lower. It was addicting and once others saw the savings I helped build three more. Months of research went into finding the best lower, upper, barrel, etc. until I had pretty much a blueprint of rifle parts and the best place to buy those...

    Rifle Scopes Weaver Super Slam Euro Style Rifle Scope 1.5-6X

    A friend of mine had this scope mounted up on a .300 WTF bolt rifle and I had the opportunity to try it out on the range this past weekend. I was really impressed with the optical quality and the somewhat unique turret adjustments. Pull up to unlock, make your adjustment, then back down to...

    Rifle Scopes Barrett 99 50bmg

    Re: Barrett 99 50bmg I have a M99 and I'm running a SWFA SS 20X on it in Barrett rings. Only doing the Barrett rings because they came with the rifle. I think the Badger Ordnance Max 50 rings would be a good second choice but I don't believe they're any cheaper. If I had the cash flow I'd...
