    Model 700 Tactical Cerakote in 223

    I shoot at the Blue & Gray field next to Guntersville Dam. I live 10-miles from the TN stateline above Huntsville. I have been reading the thread on the Remington recall, and it is looking like wait times could be long. Timney it shall be... I always wanted an excuse to install one on one of...

    Model 700 Tactical Cerakote in 223

    I blindly bid on one at gunbroker becuase I saw 5R rifling in the description, and the bidding started at $650... why not (?) The more I researched the rifle the harder it was to get decent info. They were for sale on armslist, gunsamerica and gunbroker, otherwise there seems to be little info...

    Savage 11 VT .308

    I looked at these rifles yesterday at my local DSG... I am in the market for a 223 bolt gun. I talked myself out og it, until I can get more research done... Overnight I was convinced to get the 11 V/T in 308, but after reading your replies to this topic I will be getting the 223 today or...

    On Remington 700 Long Range, 30-06

    Makes sense... A couple days before I posted my question, Cheaper Than Dirt had them in stock at all warehouses, then *poof* all sold out.

    On Remington 700 Long Range, 30-06

    This rifle appears to be doing well, as it is out of stock at every turn. Any new reports or maybe new owners care to share a review?

    Remington 700 SPS M40

    Very nice build. I have wanted to do a similar project after seeing what "Drifter" posted on the picture thread: http://www.snipershide.com/shooting/snipers-hide-bolt-action-rifles/420-precision-rifles-show-em-91.html#post3016643

    First "precision" build...on a budget

    I'm no Savage fan (no particular reason), but I could be turned... that is a very nice set-up. I handled a .223 Savage, w/heavy barrel and tactical stock, and would have bought it too, lord knows the prices was right (less than $600). But I was looking for a.30-06 platform at the time.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Tri-Star a Canik 55 Built C-100 (CZ 75 Comapct)

    I have been questing for a budget compact for carry to use for CCW and home defense. I do realize that the word budget and carry ordinarily do not go hand in hand, especially where personal and home defense is concerned. But in a world of "Ploymer Wonders", slogging through looking for a low...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best 9mm sub compact carry pistol

    I saw the Remington R51 show up on the Academy Sports website (in stores only) so I called... not expecting them for a few more weeks yet... I'm looking at a CZ 75 compact or CZ RAMI sub compact for a carry... I just cannot seem to take a bite into the poly-wonders just yet. Off to a...

    More bad news for NY

    Yeah, we have two seasons here in Alabama.... Hot/humid and football. The spring, fall and winter months here in North Alabama are some of the best seasons around, but the summer can get a bit stuffy.

    Remington: From New York --> To Huntsville, AL

    My resume is current and ready to go to corporate. Since I live near and already work in Huntsville, I figure I have as good a shot as anyone.

    Remington: From New York --> To Huntsville, AL

    Big news for Huntsville, AL residents, as Remington plans to purchase an old 500,000 sqft Chrysler building and move their New York mfg group into it. That means a possible 2,000 new jobs to the area... good all around... except for New York. No product output expected before 2015. Gun maker...

    30-06 shooters, in here...

    *sigh* I had to do a little work-from-home this past weekend, and after reading these posts I pulled the rifle from the safe and set it in front of my laptop so I could look it over while I worked... When I needed a break I would mull over what I wanted to acheive in a 30-06 build. After some...

    30-06 shooters, in here...

    I paid more than I would have given for a Remington ADL from Academy Sports, but less if I had to put that Shilen barrel on that same ADL at an amorer. Thanks for the nice comment... like I said, until I got it outdoors, I really did not know what I had. Wow! Everytime someone breaks down a...

    30-06 shooters, in here...

    Before the holidays I was looking for a 30-06 action to build from. I mainly hit a few local gun stores, even considering an Remington 700 ADL from Academy Sports when they had them for a little over $350. Ultimately I ended up on Gunbroker searching everything from mil surp thru hunting...
