    Precision Rifles.....show em!!

    I decided to go full tactical. Accuracy AND precision, I say. Pics of - 1/ Field expedient portable stealth bag rests, and a canted scope for sideways hilly terrain shots. No need for the extra weight of a bubble level. 2/ Auxilary optic - reversed, so I don't have to calculate hold unders...

    HS precision stock is garbage

    Before you tweaked it, that inletting looked like a Horiuchi special.

    Rifle Scopes Bubble level for ZCO

    I will second the observation above. Without going into the shortcomings of the Spuhr (or any other) mounts, I will say that Richard Near at trg42.com makes the best machined, best designed mounts/rings available. That I have seen, at any rate. You get to call, discuss your exact needs, a few...

    Who has a great washer/dryer combo?

    220v Miele set here too, about a decade old. In another 10 years, I'll be PM'ing you for rebuild advice, perhaps. Nice job btw.

    Fieldcraft Sleep system

    If I'm basing myself for a week or so in the north country, I like a floor less teepee with one of them ultralight Ti stove/vents. I've also built myself a basic snow cave on occasion. I use evergreen boughs, a mat, and a Western Mountaineering down blanket in either shelter.

    Rifle case question

    You & me both; no matter how much I abuse the tin cloth jacket & brush pants they barely wear out, and when they fray, I just have tin cloth strips cover the frays. That twill is about double the thickness of tin cloth, and is water resistant. I end up using tin cloth wax on the twill anyway...

    Rifle case question

    Yes, but that Filson Golden Fleece thread is far easier to warranty than the Hensoldt teutonic fairy dust. In case I need warranty on either, of course.

    New guy planning a rifle

    A tweaked AAC was one of my favorite rigs. Once I'd changed the trigger, bedded into a stock that I liked much more, and fitted a bottom metal/trigger guard that didn't break on me. Loved SMK in 168, 175 & 190 flavors.

    Is it worth keeping a 308 around?

    Y'all can keep your tattooed Miley Cyrus compatible CreedHoz. I prefer my ageless Shania spec .308 to fill the freezers with gluten free meat. For a bit more reach, there's Chuck Norris shoulder punch quality .338LM

    Rifle Scopes MPA Mount and ZRO Delta Mount Same OEM?

    Both scope mounts appear to be made well enough. But that billboard white lettering is fugly as heck. I’d barely tolerate their shameless advertising even if they handed out free mounts. Same thing I told my Line-X dealer when he wanted to slap a decal on to my back glass. Ask me how I...
