    Not sure if this classifies as vintage but it's a Stey SSG 69 PII

    My ssg69 shoots .5" groups with my handloads very easily. It is a sleeper let me tell you. One of my favorite rifles. SOO fuckin mad I didnt get what I thought was a lame attempt at updating a classic (the 'tacticool bolt knobbed, threaded muzzle w/ no iron sights) SSG from CDNN 10 plus years...

    Toughest scope mounts?

    I dont doubt Mile High's CS, but that has nothing to do with what I call the Mercedes syndrome, where one feels superior, and thus feels like their products, which arent any better than their competitors are just worth more because it has THEIR symbol on them. There's no way a 600 dollar spur...

    Toughest scope mounts?

    Oh and dont get a spurh. Wayy too many reports of them breaking, and NO scope mount on EARTH is worth 600 dollars even if it were made from solid Rhodium. Any man that feels his scope mount is worth 600 dollars can go fuck himself; It's a scope mount, not a part on an engine used by NASA.

    Toughest scope mounts?

    What the military uses varies WIDELY, depending on which branch and which rifle, and which requirements list. I wouldnt use them as a reference though honestly lol. You're going to get two answers there; "ive used scope mount x for 30 years with no problems." and then you're going to get "I...

    Howa 1500 builds **post them**

    I'm pretty sure all the barrel channels from B&C line up. If the stock says sporter barrel, the sporter Howa barrel will drop in. I have their 'heavy' barrel with B&Cs 'heavy' barrel channel and theres a perfect amount of clearance. Dont be intimidated about hogging out a barrel channel on a...

    I want a new bolt action rifle, looking for some advice

    This gun here: Is this a Mcmillan stock? If so, would you know what finish this is? Tried finding it at Mcmillan and all they have in OD is some odd, faded green/grey they call 'od', and it's flat too. Would you happen to know this finish by chance?

    I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

    I guess what I meant by questionable was, that theyre not all over the place like the other more popular brands, so their reputation (at least here) isnt 100% built up yet. You dont run across a lot of Delta scopes out in the wild yet. But if you say they're good to go, then I'm happy there's...

    Toughest scope mounts?

    Tough in terms of what? Physical impacts? Wear over time? I ask because I went down this road a few years back and realized, the mount is only as tough as the optic or the screws attaching it. Meaning, if it's an impact due to a fall, wouldnt the optic take the hit rather than the mount...

    Do you drink anything while shooting?

    I see. Yea, hot temps/humidity with pushing yourself really hard can do odd things to a body. We change over time as well. My whole life up until like 10 years ago I thrived in the heat. I could do all sorts of difficult things in the dead of summer with no ill effects. Now, if it's above...

    Do you drink anything while shooting?

    By who? Trained athletic coaches. Where do THEY get their info from? Where does ANYONE get their info from? College degrees in sports medicine? Where do THEY get their info from? The proven bad actors of the USDA or FDA? I dont know lol. And I dont know ANYONE that takes in too much sodium...

    JB’s Bore Paste & ARs

    With carbon, yea. But in my theory, if there's a decent amount of borepaste in the same path the carbon takes, it would take the same path all the way down to your mag wells and trigger mechs too. Personally I havent had it happen, but maybe it's because I dont use a lot of it to begin with...

    Carl Zeiss Sports Optics to close shop

    The Japanese consistently undercut everyone. I knew this would happen. I knew it was the end when they started making their products in Japan. This told me their profit margins were suffering.

    Do you drink anything while shooting?

    What I dont get is the additional sodium additives in drinks. 99.9% of Americans that eat the standard american diet are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY over their recommended sodium intake just from eating what they consider a plain breakfast (that alone does it) lunch, and...

    JB’s Bore Paste & ARs

    Yup, I agree. And who knows where else. Definitely dont want it in my trigger mech when shooting suppressed either.

    Do you drink anything while shooting?

    LOL. What the fuck! Out of the toilet??? DAM MAN. Maybe those people should be culled from the herd anyhow! Still, that's like .000000000001% of the population; kind of like smart democrats. Now beer on the other hand... that's a hard one. I am a sucker for a Guinness or a good IPA... I...

    Worth restoring?

    All day long. I have the same rifle that I'm slowing starting to restore as well. My bore is JACKED, and still shot a 1.2" group WITH IRONS at the range the other day, and my eyes are toast. I love my old Mausers.

    Anyone doing anything with the repro AR180s?

    Any AR180 fans here? I know some people are making rifles just like them. Brownells and I think one other company. Anyone build a retro reproduction of one?
