    Rifle Scopes NXS reticle options

    It’s pretty simple in the 2.5-10x42. If your a moa guy get the MOAR, if your a mil guy get the MIL-R. If your starting from scratch do yourself a favor and become a Mil guy.

    AeroPress coffee

    Question for the coffee experts here, are the 100.00 ish burr grinders decent or is it worth spending more? For a guy who loves a good cup of coffee but also enjoys the shit hotels and truck stops serve up at 4:00 am.

    Just a heads up, AeroPress just released a XL version. 2X the size of the original.

    Rebarelling an HS Precision Pro Series action

    My gunsmith buddy rebarreled one for me. I can’t remember the threads but it wasn’t anything bizarre. Any reputable smith should be able to do it. They do have a coned bolt but any smith should be able to cut that. I would think HS would have tennon prints?

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    Haha I don’t think that EH-1 had left their shop and I went ahead and ordered a mcs-PH. I’m hoping it’s just as fast to arrive!

    Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

    Black Friday lefty EH-1 arrived about 2 weeks ago 👍 I was pleasantly surprised I really wasn’t expecting it for a few more months.

    Scratched chamber

    I believe it was hate towards Proof, as if somehow they would have something to do with a chamber scratching brass on a barrel they didn’t chamber? If it was a prefit by Proof this might make sense but it sounds like it was a blank so the entire post about the problem being a Proof makes zero...

    Is it safe to buy on Gunbroker?

    Oh I’m not saying there aren’t any deals or that most listings are scams. I have scored some crazy deals on optics from GB and bought some firearms too. It’s probably like .1% that are scam listings but like most things in life if it sounds to good to be true….. The reason I posted was OP...

    Is it safe to buy on Gunbroker?

    There are still plenty of scammers on there. If said shotgun listing had a 360 area code and said to text it’s probably a scam. I hit him up last week because he had a bunch of nice o/u’s and it was 100% a scam. I found a bunch of listings with the same phone number and all looked to be hacked...

    Have scope prices really ballooned as of late?

    Are you looking for a 3-12 or the 4.5-18? It seems the 3-12’s are a little more valuable right now.

    Have scope prices really ballooned as of late?

    I think that’s kinda a list and hope somebody is desperate type of deal. I haven’t seen one sell even close to that high ever since the blowout deals on them. They pop up fairly frequently for 700.00-850.00

    Rifle Scopes Trujicon tenmile

    I have had a Credo and still have a Tenmile. Seem like good scopes so far. Good glass, easy to get behind etc. No tracking issues or zero retention problems. I like the zerostop on them too. The turrets aren’t great would be my only complaint. I don’t know if I would pay retail for them but...

    Rifle Scopes ZCO 4-20 on long action

    I had one on a full length integrated rail with a EH1 and it was fine. The rings were roughly in the same spot they would have been on a split rail. I had it in both the Zeiss (tier one?) rings and then later in Hawkins 1.0 heavy tactical’s. Maybe I just like weird eye relief, but I didn’t...

    Hunting & Fishing Elk hunting question

    I would try really hard to not hunt OTC this year. With the removal of the Grand Mesa units from the archery OTC units the amount of people dispersed and now crowding the OTC units that are still open is only going to make it worse then it already was. There are 0 point archery tags that you...

    Remington 700 identification? Mountain rifle?

    I think he is correct, that looks like a “Mountain Rifle DM”. My buddy has the same rifle as you in 25-06 and I have seen a few in 280. Edit: I might be wrong. What’s the barrel length on yours?

    How and when to utilize abrasive bore cleaners

    Honest question here, has anybody caused damage by using an undersized nylon brush (6 mm in a 6.5 for example) wrapped completely in a patch with JB and Kroil? I asked because I have tried it in a few barrels I didn’t care about just to see if I could do any damage and I haven’t been able to...

    Manners EH1-TK mini chassis or bed?

    I have one of each, mini chassis and a traditional Pillar setup in EH1 TK’s. I don’t know if either is “better”, the chassis is nice for a bolt in a go to the range 10 minutes after you receive the stock option. It does add some weight, I can try to weight them side by side but it might be a few...

    Bartlein/gunsmithing Question

    What’s done is done, I’m not sure if you have any other option but to see how it shoots. I would think you would have a pretty good case for warranty if it doesn’t, excessive runout in the blank shouldn’t really fall on the smith. If that does end up being the case I would however expect a...
