    Best FN PBR / Win M70 Chassis

    I did a search for this and did not come up with any info. I have a FN PBR (not XP) with a 18" barrel and a Howitzer muzzle brake. It is currently sitting in the Hogue stock that it came in. I use this rifle for hunting because it is pretty light, has almost no recoil with the brake, and is...

    Rifle Scopes Mil-Scale MPR question

    Thanks Mike. I guess that if i was going to mil something I would zoom in a little anyway to get as precise as possible. I was just wondering how defined and usable the 1mil marks were at the low mags for fast hold overs. I am trying to decide between the Mil-Scale MPR and the Mil-Scale GAP.

    Rifle Scopes Mil-Scale MPR question

    does this reticle get unusable at 3.2x? The through the scope pictures show the reticle being extremely faint at the lowest power. I am looking at getting the SN3 3.2-17x44 and it will be on a custom R700 for ranges from 50 to 1000m. Thanks

    Rifle Scopes 34mm mounting dillema

    Crooked Shot, What I mean by "the spacing being equal" is that sometimes when people use two mounting bases instead of the one solid base the spacing of the rings will not match up to the 1913 rail spacing. IMHO, the best bet would be just to use standard rings with the 20moa base on your 308...

    Rifle Scopes 34mm mounting dillema

    Is the base on your 700 a one piece base with the correct spacing that would allow you to transfer qd rings from it to the LMT? If so then I would go with the qd rings. As far as the 20moa rings, I would have to ask how far you plan on taking the 16" 308. If you think that you will be pushing...

    Alabama Shooter

    Is Brock's Gap the same place as Steel City? I haven't shot out there before but I have heard great things about it. The only ranges that I have used are the FOP ranges (Trussvile and Birmingham) and military ranges. All my shooting outside of those ranges has been done in my friend's fields...

    Muzzle brake

    If I was going to get a suppressor in a year then I would just shoot the rifle it like it is for now and go with a direct thread suppressor in a year. I can't think of any time that I have ever needed to quickly detach a suppressor, even on the military side of the house. And I think that the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Gen 3 VS Gen 4

    That is probably the best way to put it!! Plus it is comforting to know that you are carrying a pistol has put more criminals in their place than the electric chair.

    Finnish M39-SOV Project BUILD FINISHED

    The mount/scope seem rock solid on the side of the rifle. It is attached via a swing lever mount that once it is attached i can't get it to wiggle at all. I really think that is the scope. It is the old Russian scope that you can put a AA battery(or AAA, I can't remember) in and had the...

    Finnish M39-SOV Project BUILD FINISHED

    I have a M39 with a factory bent bolt and side mounted russian scope. I can shoot 1.5" at 100yds with the irons, but he scope wont hold a zero so it stays in the gun safe. I have been looking for a reliable scope mount. Does the Accumount that you ordered seem pretty solid?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Gen 3 VS Gen 4

    I carry a Gen3 G21 on duty and I will not change until the gun stops working. I have over 6,000 rounds through it without changing anything, except mags every 13 rounds, with no issues. I have shot the Gen4 G21 and it is a little softer on recoil, but not enough for me to buy one.

    Gunsmithing Muzzle brake install.

    The only muzzle brake/flash hiders that I have ever messed with were for M4s and I just used crush washers. I do not know if that is your best option here though. Can you tell wether or not there is a gap between the muzzle and the base of the brake?

    Night Vision Using a PVS14 and a Magnified Scope

    What kind of rifle are you using? I have used an extra PVS14 in front of my Acog TA01 on my M4 with no issue several times while using another 14 on my helmet. It does help to use some sort of IR light to help it out(ie: Surefire IR/LED head on a M600). If you are running a bolt gun that does...

    Surefire Scout or Mini-Scout for AR

    The X300 works off of a constant on/off toggle and for momentary on you apply forward pressure to the toggle. You can press either the left or the right toggle forward so it is truely ambi. I've always only used TLR's, M3s, and M6s on my pistols, but I have run the X300 on a rifle. The x300...
