    Bhtc long range sniper challenge 10/19, lewistown pa

    My Brother and I had a great time, conditions were great, and the COF was challenging. My favorite events were: STYM CBS, SBU, and urban challenge. This was my second time at this range and the drive/scenery is always good. Congrats to Jeremy for bringing home the win, I think a good time was...

    GAP10 ShowEm Off Pics

    About the new handguards: Why doesn't GAP incorporate their name or model number into the handguard instead of vertical and horizontal slots. For Example it could look something like this: G G G - - - A A A or 1 1 1 - - - 0 0 0 or G 1 G 1 - - - - A 0 A 0 Hope...

    Rifle Scopes I'm so tired of Butler Creek

    I know you're running a Vortex but Leupold alumina flip open caps are the "best" on the market IMHO right now, not sure if they will work (probably not). I just don't understand why $1500-$3500 dollar scopes all come with cheap caps. Sorry this post does not help much but I feel your...

    FN PBR Rifle Build

    To build on what 19Scout77 is saying, My custom rifle built on a surgeon action was $4000. $2500 of that was the action itself and riflesmith work. Also I see they want to put it in a laminate stock (wood) which I personally don't care for. Don't let them talk you into anything you don't...

    FN PBR Rifle Build

    My suggestion is price out everything you want to build your PBR and compare it to the price of an A1 or A5M. I have a PBR, a TRG 22, and a custom rifle built on a Surgeon Action. The sad thing is the PBR shoots under MOA for me and is completely stock. Now my custom rifles shoot better but I...

    Fn spr for Leo sniper if not what you suggest?

    I own an FN PBR (now called the TSR) and have shot the SPR, either would work for you honestly. The SPR is marketed and probably better suited for the job role you are looking to fill. My biggest complaint about my PBR was the 4rd magazine, not reliability but capacity. CDI and FN have fixed...

    Surgeon and badger m4?

    Since no one has replied yet I will try to shed some light on this as I have some first hand experience with this issue, though I am not a true expert and invite others to chime in: A couple of years of ago I had Robert Gradous build me a rifle with a Surgeon 591 and Badger M4 floorplate...

    FN Patrol Build Finally Finished!!!!

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk4 8.5-25x50mm ER/T M1 FFP MtTMR or Bushnell G2DMR 34mm which one to get.

    I also had the exact Leupold you're asking about, while it was a decent scope the 8.5X low power is not very practical. I upgraded to a 5-25X Steiner and I'm glad I did. I can not comment on the Bushnell but I would give it a try as a lot of guys on here run them. One more thing about the...

    Rifle Scopes H2CMR vs MSR reticule - Updating opinions

    I have the MSR in a Steiner 5-25, The reticle thickness is between a S&B P4 and P4F. I also have a Leupold 6.5X20 converted by Premier Reticles with a Gen II MD. The point of all this is I prefer the thickness of my Leupold/Premier over the thickness of the MSR. The MSR is a great reticle and...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold VXR Patrol 1.25-4

    I agree with trying to get a 1-6 scope, sometimes 4X is not enough for me. For a .223 M4 platform 4X is pretty much standard but a 6X would definitely be an upgrade. For the price the VX-R is a great scope, when I bought it all the 1-8's and 1-6's barely existed. If I were buying another...

    Rifle Scopes Quick Spuhr/TRG Mount Question

    I have a 4-16X50 Steiner on my TRG 22 in a Spuhr TRG ST-4701 mount (1.38"). I would not go any higher than that, its perfect and there is still plenty of room for a 56mm objective lens.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold VXR Patrol 1.25-4

    I have the 1.25-4 VX-R Patrol, it is a nice scope for the money. The MIL/MIL is a big plus, the firedot can be turned on or off, some people like it some don't but you have the option. 1.25 power is pretty low for cqb plus the firedot makes a nice combo. The mil reticle is a little different...

    300 win mag build

    Re: 300 win mag build I would say pick your optic first, then see how much money you have left over, that way you stay within your budget.

    GA Precision GAP-10

    Re: GA Precision GAP-10 I placed an order back in December with Ken, and it was definitely in the email I received. It appears to be a generic email that gets sent to everyone once they spec out a quote. I like the policy because it allows GA Precision to get my rifle faster to me...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Military 3–15x50

    Re: Steiner Military 3–15x50 I will definitely own one of these, I have the 4-16 Gen II MD and the 5-25 MSR, the 3-15 MSR will go great on a gas gun or .308 bolt gun. I hope pricing is still the same as the 3-12 model.
