    Daytona 500 Weekend

    Re: Daytona 500 Weekend Steam kettles is right. NASCAR really wanted to break up the two car rocket ships so bad they've gotten them to where they're ready to melt down after they're hooked up for more than a lap or so.

    Daytona 500 Weekend

    Re: Daytona 500 Weekend All the Hendrick equipment will be running great, though I may be a bit biased. It's all about not wrecking, which Kyle Busch seems to have a handle on so far. I'd like to see Gordon or junior get the W but it'll probably come down to a couple attempts at the...

    Gunsmithing 700 5r Chamber finish.

    Re: 700 5r Chamber finish. Thanks. I don't have optics on it yet but I can probably run a few rounds through it just to see what they look like and hoe they extract. I spend a lot of my days at work inspecting parts under microscopes and with micrometers so any time I can see stuff like...

    Gunsmithing 700 5r Chamber finish.

    Re: 700 5r Chamber finish. I have not fired the rifle yet. I just purchased it and was giving it a look over when I noticed the chamber. Clearly I'm new to precision rifles and may be jumping the gun I just wanted to post this and see if it threw up any red flags to anyone or if you can just...

    Gunsmithing 700 5r Chamber finish.

    Here are a couple pictures of the chamber of my new 700 5r. Doesn't look that great to me but what do I know? Anyone care to tell me if this is an acceptable finish for a factory gun or does this indicate poor chamber reaming and should I contact remington about it?

    Rifle Scopes Noob question about magnification.

    Re: Noob question about magnification. Thanks, those are good points. I was looking on Liberty optics site and saw the Mark 4's you mentioned with FFP and the TMR. Sounds like a good way to go considering the budget I'm trying to stick to.

    Rifle Scopes Noob question about magnification.

    Re: Noob question about magnification. That's good to know. I had always thought Leupolds were the shit when I was younger and thought they were the absolute top of the line. That was until I started getting heavier into shooting and started seeing the S&B's, Premier's, and USO's which I'd...

    Rifle Scopes Noob question about magnification.

    Re: Noob question about magnification. Sorry, I should have been more specific. My main interest is in tactical shooting. The course I'm looking at will be for tactical rifle training shooting from all different positions, around barriers, etc. with some moving targets, shooting through...

    Rifle Scopes Noob question about magnification.

    Re: Noob question about magnification. Thanks for the replies. I have a few different scopes in mind. The two Vortex PST's with FFP look like good scopes from the reviews I've read. The Leupold Mark IV scopes look like good options but I've been getting the impression that they may or may...

    Rifle Scopes Noob question about magnification.

    Re: Noob question about magnification. I am trying to stay under the 1500 mark for budget but might stretch that a couple hundred if I get a good buy. I'm not entirely sure on the reticle due to inexperience but the Horus reticles look interesting though the scopes I've seen them on seem to...

    Rifle Scopes Noob question about magnification.

    I'm interested in getting involved in long range shooting/tactical matches and I'm trying to put together a rifle package to get started. I've purchased a 700 5r SS with 24" barrel and am trying to make some decisions about the glass to put on it. Other than shooting hunting rifles a good bit...

    Remington R5 Milspec - First Range Session

    Re: Remington R5 Milspec - First Range Session I've been mulling over whether to buy the 5r to start with or an sps tactical and changing the stock/ bedding it. It sounds like the 5r mil spec is the way to go. When I compared the two rifles the mil spec seemed to have a much nicer, slicker...
