    West Point graduate killed in police shooting

    Re: West Point graduate killed in police shooting O.k...I have to say that neither links provided above provide any accurate info as to what transpired the moments leading up to this incident. How does it go from "trying out water bottles to see of they fit" to "an evacuation of the store"...

    New Guy: Looking for Entry Level Tactical Sniper

    Re: New Guy: Looking for Entry Level Tactical Sniper Lots of good advice here...especially about the Savage, good bang for the buck. I bet if you look in the "for sale" section you can find a good, used, custom built savage for a good price that would be a great gun to get into precision...

    .243 win?

    Re: .243 win? I'm no expert on these things....but I'm pretty sure .243 is going to be a decent barrel burner. .260 or 7-08 might be worth taking a gander at. B.

    Rifle Scopes New scope: nightforce or USO?

    Re: New scope: nightforce or USO? Buy once...cry once. I have both a NF and USO. I like both very much, but my USO in my opinion is a better scope. The glass seems clearer and sharper than the NF, but I have to admit that the turrents are much more positive in feeling on my NF. I'm sure...

    6.5's and 7mm's?

    Re: 6.5's and 7mm's? I'm thinking .284 is looking pretty promising with the .280 running a close second...I don't think that I can justify re-barreling every year running the 6.5x284. Thanks for the input.

    6.5's and 7mm's?

    Re: 6.5's and 7mm's? Thanks for all the quick responses. I'm kinda like Greg...why waste a LA on a SA round...but I can see why this is done. I am concerned about barrel life, however this will not be my "daily shooter"..I have Tinkerbell for that. The more I read...the more I like the...

    6.5's and 7mm's?

    Last week I happened to stumble into a Remmy 700 LA .270 in a pawn shop. The rifle was a little worse for wear, but it has promise and the price was right since I have been wanting to build something different anyways. The main use of the rifle will be steel ringing out to 1200 or so, and...

    Suppressed 16 inch .308? Any reason not to?

    Re: Suppressed 16 inch .308? Any reason not to? Here's a pic for ya'... APA built this on a 700 action, barrel length at 16.5 with a Tac-Ops .30 cal can. It is very handy and shoots VERY WELL! However, I have found that I like it even more when it is not wearing the can. As for...

    Any experience with Target Gun Club, Ridgeland, SC

    Re: Any experience with Target Gun Club, Ridgeland, SC I've been to a club just over the state line near the Ridgeland area once as a visitor....it was a 300 yard range, so it might be the same one. It seemed like a decent place to shoot, quite, secluded, and plenty of things to shoot at on...

    16inch Barrel Sniper Rifles

    Re: 16inch Barrel Sniper Rifles All you're going to lose is velocity. Mine is running between 2450 and 2500 with 175's in .308. I feel and see no issues out to 700 and 800. Having the short barrel is really handy if you actually using it for urban deployments, hunting, shooting in...

    Next Build(complete) pair of 16.25" 308 bolt guns

    Re: Next Build...a pair of 16.25" 308 bolt guns Go for it...my shorty, snubbie .308 is all I need for 0-600 yards and handles nicely when moving in tight confines. As for the dope, I am running roughly 1-1.5 MOA behind behind several other "standard" length .308's I shoot with. B.
