    Hunting & Fishing Hunting rifle weight?

    Re: Hunting rifle weight? I'm using a Styer Mountain Rifle in 25-06 with a Meopta 3-12 56mm scope. It's just under 8 lbs, and if I was going to be doing a lot of mountain hunting I don't think I would want much more rifle than that. A lot of the rifles weight comes from the barrel contour...

    Tiger Valley team match November 12-13, 2011

    Re: Tiger Valley team match November 12-13, 2011 I think by T.J.'s silence we can assume that folks that don't bring a guillie suit will be totally and utterly fcuked for the first half of this match. That would be consistent with the true sniper ethos and the credo of all good warriors and...

    Tiger Valley team match November 12-13, 2011

    Re: Tiger Valley team match November 12-13, 2011 T.J., Can you please let us know if we need to bring a ghillie suit for this shoot? I have one but my partner doesn't, I hate to tell the guy to run out and blow over a hundred dollars on a piece of equipment he is not going to need. Thanks...

    Rifle Scopes LMAO!!!! Sightron as good as NF.

    Re: LMAO!!!! Sightron as good as NF. I used to log onto this sight and I would be amazed at the interesting exchanges and the quality of information that was being posted. Now days it's insults, conjecture, and a level of civility that takes me back to my days as a 2nd grade teacher. Why I...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor 5-20x50mm

    Re: Vortex Razor 5-20x50mm I have one and besides my S&B 4-16 PMII it's my favorite scope. You really can't beat the Razor for features, build quality, and glass at that price point. I also wish they had done 34mm on the tube and I wish they had done matt black on the finish. Outside of...

    Rifle Scopes Nikon Monarch 4-16x42 or SWFA SS 16x42

    Re: Nikon Monarch 4-16x42 or SWFA SS 16x42 I have had in the past several Monarch scopes and I had a 16x SS as well. The glass in the Monarch scopes is outstanding. In my opinion better than Leupold Mark IV series scopes. The Monarch Tactical scopes pop up from now and then here on the...

    Rifle Scopes ffp worth the $

    Re: ffp worth the $ If there is the possibility that you will be shooting a competition than I would recommend the FFP scopes. It really comes in handy if you are shooting a stage with multiple targets at multiple ranges and you need change magnification settings between targets. You don't...

    Savage 10 detachable mag conversion

    Re: Savage 10 detachable mag conversion There is also the VBull DBM for Savages. My 10FP has this setup and It's outstanding. Takes AICS mags, and has the a very slick release mechanism. http://www.vbullprecision.com/bottommetal.php#content Kevin Rayhill at Stockade did my install.

    My first rifle build

    Re: My first rifle build You're going to really like Kevin and his work. He did my first tactical build on a 10FP and I still own it and shoot the hell out of it. He makes a nice stock and Benchmark is the best kept secret in barrels in my opinion. I don't think you can go wrong with the...

    Rifle Scopes CS Tactical customer service!

    Re: CS Tactical customer service! Well do us all a favor and post the recipe.... Weird. I tried to make a statement about what a nice bunch of folks they are over at CS Tactical and almost immediately I end up hijacking my own thread to talk about gumbo of all things. WTFO?

    Rifle Scopes CS Tactical customer service!

    Guys, Just a quick word on CS Tactical customer service. Several days ago I was on CS Tactical's site looking for a scope for my hunting rig. I found an optic that suited my needs and placed an order for the scope. Several days latter I realized that the company that makes the optics I...

    Who runs Hornady 75 BTHP

    Re: Who runs Hornady 75 BTHP I have been using the Hornady 75gr BTHPs in my 18" Krieger SPR barreled AR rifle for a little over a year. I'm using the off the shelf Hornady loaded ammo. It's getting me well under .75 moa at 100 yards and seems to be holding at least moa or better out to 500...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA Customer service

    Re: SWFA Customer service SWFA has been real good to me in the past. I have had two IOR scopes go down and they (IOR) were great getting my scopes replaced. IOR has really stepped up to the plate since the SH model came out. They seem to realize that many U.S. shooters are educated on...

    .260 Rem Reloading Questions: Case, Bullet, Powder

    Re: .260 Rem Reloading Questions: Case, Bullet, Powder I'm using 142gr SMK's in my 26" Barreled rifle. It seems to prefer H4350, Remington 260 brass, and CCI BR2 primers. I'm getting 3 reloads on the Rem brass then the primer pockets start to open up. I have also gotten good groups from...

    Carbine Barrel Advice

    Re: Carbine Barrel Advice I have had excellent groups with my Krieger 18" SPR contour in 1in7. It shoots 62gr and up in the area of 3/4 moa, and it's well under 3/4 moa with 75gr BTHP Hornady. I think in the commercial sales section there are a bunch of Rock Creek 18" SPR barrels up, but...

    Rifle Scopes Valdada QR-TS 3x25 30mm

    Re: Valdada QR-TS 3x25 30mm I had one and got rid of it. I like the ACOG 4x scopes better. The IOR CQB was difficult to zero and didn't provide enough magnification for medium-long distance shooting (out to 400+ yards). I also didn't find the reticule to be very effective/useful. I had...

    Savage is finally ready to go!

    Re: Savage is finally ready to go! I like it! Get us a range report. I'm always impressed at how well Savages shoot right out of the box.

    What calibers can I rebarrel from a .30-06 700 BDL

    Re: What calibers can I rebarrel from a .30-06 700 BDL I just had a 700BDL built in 25-06. Not the best caliber for target shooting but hell on White Tail and speed goats! I had mine set up with a 25", Shilen, 1 in 9 twist, Select Match, SS barrel. It's making bug holes at 100 yards with...

    to go 260 remington, or stick with 308

    Re: to go 260 remington, or stick with 308 I shoot the .260 Rem in competition and I'm very pleased. I did find it a little more difficult to find a sweet spot in terms of powder and bullets, but only on my GAP built Rem700 rifle. It has a Bartlein 1:8 twist 26" barrel, and it it seems to...

    trouble choosing a .308

    Re: trouble choosing a .308 Noveske! I had a 21" barrel model that was one of the finest shooting .308 rifles I have ever owned. It would shoot with any bolt action .308. Sold it to a buddy (and Snipers Hide member) and he ran it at matches and would ring steel at 1000 yrds all day long...
