    Toughest scope mounts?

    Yeah...It gave me flashbacks to the days of having to have someone mill the tops of the Accuracy International mounts for PMii. Long forgotten with 15ish years of Spuhr use. Tis no longer a problem, ZCO 4-20 is superior and the in the AREA419 mount...

    Toughest scope mounts?

    I really, wanted to like these. They are well-built, but that center rib of the mount is a bitch. No way you're using cheater wedges/feeler gauges to start the leveling process. And then there's this shit:

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 2-10 preorders open

    Well after spending time on the ZCO on 10x with a 36mm tube, the 8x of the Schmidt on a 30mm tube felt a bit tight as one would expect. The TL;DR would be the ZCO kicks the shit out of the S&B at the top end...subtensions at 0.5 mil instead of the MDR-T6 with full 1.0 mil. And with a...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 2-10 preorders open

    Am I the only one that's annoyed the triangle is upside down in the ZCO reticle?

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 2-10 preorders open

    After playing with the 2-10 these past few months, I went back this week to shooting my S&B Dual CC mostly max'd out on 8x. Really puts things in perspective.

    6mm max

    Price mostly. Hodge has their forends (which Hodge farms out and SOLGW uses) and alloys and tight tolerance. It’s nice for building a good, traditional AR that’s not fugly as hell. The only thing Sons is doing is sourcing Armet bolts and laser texturing hand guards. I’ve heard they have...

    6mm max

    The guy that turned STI to Staccato is at SOLGW now calling shots. They’ve grow substantially. I know some aren’t happy about how they went from a “good but affordable work gun” to offerings that rival KAC, Hodge, HK. They have some cool parts. But they aren’t the only game in town. No...

    Geissele GFR 6mm ARC 20" Bbl DDC Stratomatch

    In the last 18 years, I've said that no less than 6 times...went large frame and reality always came crashing back. When set up for success...same weight as my AI bolt gun (n) Slower velocity than my shorty bolt guns (n) Same accuracy as my small frames but no less than 2x the price, 2x the...

    Not what l expected

    I know the 69 grain Fed GMM is supposed to be in .223 the equivalent to 168gr Fed GMM in 308...in that if a gun can't shoot that, it might not shoot period. Don't know if it's a post-covid QC issue, but in picking up some 69gr FGMM cheap lately, it's been rather disappointing compared to its...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 2-10 preorders open

    420 is My favorite glass in the stable. Initially I thought the 2x was useful, but 2.5-12.5x would have been a better use of their time if not 3-15. I’d have happily given another 1” and 1/4 lb for a 3-15x42 or 44mm from ZCO. Illumination doesn’t save the 2x as the lowlight setting limits...

    Had one, but took it down as thoughts/opinions continue to develop and change the more I use it and the wider array of things I put it through

    Not what l expected

    Who made the barrel? What chamber? What ammo specifically? Were you chasing a bunch of different bullet brands down the bore? Brand new barrel or seasoned?

    What's the most Tactical Timmy caliber for a 16.5" barreled short action?

    That makes more sense...I was like: "powdahound" is right...dude must be stuffin' it in to get that number out of a 16.5" pipe. 2725-2750 with 130 Bergers puts me in a very nice place with my shorty. The wind never stops here and this rig is easier to push than my old 24" 308 slinging 185...
