    McMillan stocks... So many choices!

    There seems to be a dizzying amount of McMillan stocks available, and I'm sure each are best for different roles/needs. I've been trying to beg google to help me, but I still can't find a comprehensive source that will list the pros/cons of them all. I'm not in the immediate market for one...

    Suppressors Suppressor... how bad of a problem is mirage?

    For those of you who have suppressors on your .308 rifles, how quickly does mirage come into play? Do you guys just let the barrel cool down more in between shots? I'm interested in taking a training class... and it seems 300 shots will be fired over the course of two days. Living in Oklahoma...

    Rifle Scopes Question about magnification...

    Just to ensure similar levels of quality in glass and construction, I'll be referring to the S&B PMII 4-16 and the 5-25. From what I understand, there's such a thing as too much magnification due to mirage. If both scopes were at 16x, they'd have the same mirage distortion, right? Would they...

    Rifle Scopes How often do high end scopes get revamped?

    I'm just curious as to how often companies like USO or s&b introduce new generations and revolutionary design changes into their products. It seems to me like every now and then other companies like premier will spring up with a Heritage line, but I haven't seen much improvement when it comes to...

    Re: Where to buy a Sig P228? Thanks Bob. I've been lurking the Sigforum.com classifieds for a while and Topgunsupply ran out of the nonrailed P228 about a month ago and they won't get any more in.

    Suppressors Where to buy a Sig P228?

    I've been trying to find a NIB Sig P228 without a rail for my dad's 50th birthday. They were released by Sig last year with a P228 slide on top of a P229 SAS frame, but they came with night sights and some didn't have a rail. Anyone have any idea where I can still find one?

    Thinking about getting a 5R, is it hard to modify?

    I'm getting my first .308 sometime in the next month or so. I'm limiting myself to a budget of around $1200 for rifle, base, rings. (Already got a scope) I planned on picking up a Remington 700 5-R since I've heard great things about them out of the box. Since it'll be my first "precision"...

    Rifle Scopes PH Flashing illuminated reticle bad or good?

    Re: PH Flashing illuminated reticle bad or good? Nobody else has any comments on the matter? I don't think it is "defective", just seems like it's right in between the on/off selection for each intensity setting.

    Rifle Scopes PH Flashing illuminated reticle bad or good?

    Just got a PH 5-25x and after some fiddling... found out I can slightly rotate the illumination knob to a point where the reticle will flash red on/off repeatedly. This seems like it'd be great for quick target acquisition (Not sure when that would ever be handy for me lol), but I was wondering...

    Need help with new rifle Badger or Surgeon ?

    Re: Need help with new rifle Badger or Surgeon ? I've been "struggling" with this same problem. I'm leaning towards going with an AICS chassis which would have to be modified for a bit over $100 to take the Badger Action. Here's what information I have gathered over the past several weeks...
