    Can you shoot a tank down it's cannon?

    On the125 mm "tubes" the Russians have, thats a 5 inch target. So what happens if you put a .50 bmg slug down the muzzle? Would the round in the tube explode? Would it deform the shell so it would be hazardous to fire? How about a 308 steel round? Any...

    308 "beanfield" loads to cull deer

    Rifle is a m70 fwt in .308 or a Tikka in 308 or a AR10. My farmer is going to plant beans this coming spring and last time he did the deer just wrecked them awful. Ranges will be 300/350 yards. Has anyone used the Berget flatbased target 150gr on deer? I use Nosler 125 BT on deer for shorter...

    My new favorite rifle 1727f

    Can you work the actioni with the bolt lever or do you have to close it with your thumb pushing on the rear of the bolt?

    CZ 455/457 barrel mounting doubts

    Ok I'm a big CZ guy and I've got lots of Anschutzes also. I'm starting to have BIG doubts about the rigidity of the two grub screw barrel mounting system on the 455/457 CZs. With any oopsie they seem to lose zero to either side but hold the vertical. All my .22s have the same basic setup. BKL...

    New CZ 600

    It is just the bolt knob. Its lightweight, won't rust, and warm to the touch. I'm sure you'll be able to get a steel knob if you like big cold heavy knobs covered in rust!;)

    Snipers in SHTF Situation

    Yeah the orange is the smaller target. Hard to find 300+ yard ranges on private land east of the Mississippi so that is the tough "long range" target. Bigger target at 200 to build confidence. As far as shooting off your knee......about 3 weeks after ShTF the grass/weeds are going to be so...

    Snipers in SHTF Situation

    The gun for SHTF is a AR15. heavy bbl so you can see your hits. You won't have a spotter. .223. No lights or lazers. You clear a house with a match not your AR. A tough scope that is straight power. From 10x down to 4x. . Forget the range, practice shooting off your knee or over a log. Do some...

    Advice on pre-64 Model 70

    I can't see but the but plate on the 70s of that era were steel (ouch) and was neider style with a little inset at the top heel of the buttstock. If that inlet is gone its been cut some. Nothing sacred about a white line pad. Get a newer softer thinner pad. If it kicks too hard use 135 gr ammo...

    So Russia gonna take Ukraine while China takes Taiwan simultaneously?

    Yeah, you guys need to read some history books. The notion of two nations going to war is ridiculous!

    AR .22/.223 Trigger

    The Larue is solid tool steel. The others are MIM if that makes a difference to you.

    Caliber for shoulder injury

    I have brittle bone disease so I have to have not much kick. Get a 308 and add weight to the stock. Put on a harris bi pod as they weigh about a pound. Get a 308 with a fatter barrel. Put a soft limbsaver pad on it. Get it up around 12 pounds. Load it with bullets around 125 gr like Nosler BT or...

    I went off Hathcocked.

    PMC check the webbing in the stock that is in front of the trigger. Over half the pre 64s I look at have cracked there and it helps to repair or glue it. Even some that do not look cracked have a hairline there. Check it with good light and young eyes.

    mid tier defensive/battle AR15

    Get the DD. If your life or your family's lives ever depend on your AR you won't mind one bit paying more for quality such as the pinned in gas block on the DD.

    The silver lining to this whole Afghanistan thing

    If I was Taiwan I would be on the phone and telling my guys to build nukes as fast as they can. Japan and South Korea should also.

    Hunting Rifle for Wife

    Get the Tikka. Put a Limbsaver recoil pad on it. VERY soft. Get it in .308 and have her shoot the Hornady 125gr light factory loads for deer and 180 factory Nosler Partitions (she might run up on a big moose) for moose. If it kicks too hard for her put a Harris bi pod on it for extra weight. If...

    Coyote rifle build.

    Are you trying to save the fur? If not go for the .308. Load it with 125 or 110 bullets out of a 10-12 twist barrel. So much more capable than the other rounds. In a shorter barrel very efficient burning of the powder. Very flat at the ranges you talk about. Since your running a can lots of...

    Enter the "Barrel Matrix"....

    Cut corners on anything but the barrel. Bugholes.com has both Brux and Barlien barrels that you want in stock and ready to go. I would think about going with a 1-9 twist if you wanting to shoot heavies over 210+grs. Since you wanting low recoil might ought to go with something heavier than a...
