    Help me decide on a barrel

    Yes, Bartlein's are excellent barrels. A Bartlein #5 weighs 6 lbs. Thanks a truck axle when your humping up mountains. This Bartlein barrel is in stock at Grizzly and weighs 1 1/2 pounds less. That's a whole lot nicer humping up hills and still thick enough to do some moderate precision...

    Ultralight Backpack Alcohol Stove

    Very interesting. But one question I haven't found the answer to was "what other liquid fuels does it burn?" - Gasoline? - Diesel? - kerosene? - Jet Fuel?

    Long term storage in safe, what do you put in the bore.

    The one gun oil that I really like is often confused with the same company's very popular carbon & copper cleaner, but does an excellent job of lubing and protecting steel. Butch's GUN OIL is great stuff. It's lightweight and does outstanding work protecting steel. I am NOT talking about...

    Rifle Scopes Best Scope for a GAP-10 - Money no object (almost)

    Every AR-10 platform I've carried is a beast compared to the standard issue M4. Both the 3-24x42 FFP March and the Vortex 2.5-10x32 FFP PST are "small-ish" light weight scopes compared to a full size 5-25x56 S&B that weights significantly more. Because the AR-10, the ammo & the magazines are...

    Best Mauser 98

    One question I have is with all the High-Tech CNC machines FN/Winchester has these days making CRF model 70 actions, why not just build off of one of those? Or are those actions not considered "mauser enough"?

    8MM Rem Mag?

    Man, I really wish I owned an 8mm Rem Mag (or it's siblings; 7mm STW -or- 6.5mm STW)

    Bushnell Quick Release adapter

    Actually, thank you Jon! It was very kind of you to take a stab at it. I was actually hoping that I could attract the attention of a Bushnell rep who could sell me what I needed off the shelf. Still hoping.

    AR15 with 90 grain berger at 2905 fps, impossible? Not so much.

    That is some solid reasoning there. Thanks for sharing!

    Bushnell Quick Release adapter

    I have a Bushnell (Elite?) 15-45 power spotting scope with the MIL-dot reticle. The quick release adapter and the spotting scope case have disappeared after a day at the range. Most important is the quick release adapter as that is how the spotting scope attaches to the tri-pod. Anyone here...

    AR15 with 90 grain berger at 2905 fps, impossible? Not so much.

    Hey everybody head's up! Just because it is possible to make this (the .220 Thunderbolt) out of 6.8 SPC brass does NOT mean that is how "The Pro's" are doing it. They are instead using 6mm HAGAR brass as their starting point. Use this link to order brass and dies: Keystone Accuracy Custom...

    Deciding on a 200yd caliber
