    Stock length of pull?

    How much is stock length of pull going to affect me on a LR rifle? Specifically...I've got a .338 LM RPR and 6.5 CM RPR. I've always wanted to try a Magpul PRS on one of them. But looking at some of my other rifles, they all seem to be "comfortable" at approx 14.5" LOP. I've always felt the PRS...

    Gunsmithing Ruger bolt?

    Will Ruger sell just a rifle bolt? I've got a 338 RPR and saw the 300 PRC takeoff bbl listed on the exchange. It was a toss up when I got the 338 which one to get. Love the 338 but thought down the road, I wouldn't mind trying the PRC. But I'd need a different bolt. Seems like I remember some...

    Fieldcraft Jet stoves which one?

    Wasn't familiar with the Pocket Rocket so I just googled it. One of the first ones up was the "Doc Johnson Pocket Rocket" on Amazon. My wife is kinda interested in that one!!

    Which buffer for my AR10?

    So, I went out and tried it today. One of the perks of being retired! Anyway, turned it down till it wouldn't eject/lock on an empty mag. Turned it back, wouldn't lock/eject, one more notch same thing. Finally figured out I screwed up and turned the screw the wrong way, turned it back the other...

    Which buffer for my AR10?

    According to Heavy Buffers' website, they recommend the 10 oz buffer if 1) you're shooting suppressed (was going to), 2) shooting heavy/hot loads (probably not), or 3) wanted max recoil reduction. So, that's why I went with that one. Would you recommend something else? Oh, and they don't...

    Which buffer for my AR10?

    I felt at the time it functioned fine, but since it didn't seem to do anything for recoil (on the stock rifle) I took it out and put the stock buffer back in. Then I found out it didn't function worth a damn with the suppressor, so I just got the AGB. Just trying to go from there. Never like the...

    Which buffer for my AR10?

    OK, this is what confuses me. I've got a stock PSA AR10 (308), rifle length stock that I put a Gen II PRS stock on. I've got a Heavy Buffer XH buffer/spring combo, the buffer weighs 10 ozs and is 5.25" long. Is this the right combination? I read so many different combinations I'm not sure what I...

    Which buffer for my AR10?

    Just reworked my plain jane PSA AR10. I've been wanting to reduce the recoil some and picked up an XH buffer/spring for it. Didn't think it did much good so I changed it back to the OEM one that came with it. I also tried my Omega suppressor on it and it didn't function worth a darn. So I...

    Gunsmithing MkIV Volquartsen trigger replacement?

    Has anyone here replaced a Ruger Mk? trigger with a Volquartsen kit? I've got a MkIV that I'd like to get the trigger replaced in and thought I'd go with a Volquartsen. Can the average guy with enough knowledge to be dangerous do this? I've been quoted $250/275 to do it but I can get a kit from...

    Bench rest or match grade primers. Are they REALLY better than standard?

    I can honestly say you'll never see any difference in MY groups between the two. But I still use the match primers because the LGS sells them for virtually the same price.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 380 for wife to carry.

    I'm old and little (65, 5'6"x 165 lbs) and with a bunch of praktizing I can handle my .338 RPR (barely). But I STILL don't like my S&W 442. I like my G42 and my Sig 365 a LOT better. Much better triggers.

    Well there you go...."large women" can handle a DA revolver better. Isn't that obvious?

    6.5 Grendel v .300 Blackout

    Sure, had a perfectly good troll thread started back in 2014, progressed into a great, back biting, throat cutting, slugfest. Picked back up in '19, still going strong. And now calmer heads and the voice of reason killed it before the new year! Might as well take my popcorn and go elsewhere!!

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Isn't that pretty much standard with every RPR? Seems like that gets talked about all the time. If you go with magazine length anyway. I don't know about my 6.5CM, but if I load the .338 to the lands it's too long to eject, the ejection port opening is too short.

    H4350...... Out of stock everywhere again??

    My LGS has claimed for years that normally the powder companies are set up to produce a certain amount of each powder, make that lot, then move on to the next. Doesn't matter if there's a shortage of one kind, they will make it in it's order. In other words A,B,C; then A,B,C again. Supposedly no...

    338 dilemma

    Admittedly, I'm pretty fortunate. I own a pasture where I have targets at 1,2,300 yds. Then I've got steel at 625 yds. I put in another bench back a ways so I can get steel at 800. I use the 200 yard target for sighting in and groups. Shoot 625 most and then 800, although I'm edging towards 800...
