    Gunsmithing PTG Bottom Metal on Ruger American

    If you buy the Magpul, you can just file a relief for the bolt handle on the left side of the stock and it’ll be fine. Seen several folks do it on the ruger American Facebook page.

    Gunsmithing School me on measuring an action for a barrel Tennon

    @LongRifles Inc. daaaaanngg maybe you should write a book, I’d buy it. Thanks for the info and the little tricks, I’ve never heard the solder squish trick before! That’s slick!

    Gunsmithing School me on measuring an action for a barrel Tennon

    @skinnj1 yes I do! Thanks for the reply, that was pretty to the point and just what I needed. @DAVETOOLEY agreed, I’ve done lots of short chambered barrels and pre fits so I’m relatively familiar with headspace and chambering. Just exceptionally novice when it involves turning a blank into a...

    Gunsmithing School me on measuring an action for a barrel Tennon

    I should have specified what action, this project would be for a Ruger American. I’d like to do a shouldered barrel just because. Since there isn’t a counterbore, would case protrusion be determined by the distance between the bolt nose and bolt faceplus the distance from the nose to barrel...

    Gunsmithing School me on measuring an action for a barrel Tennon

    I should say up front, im becoming quite proficient on my lathe but I’m no machinist. I feel I’m ready to start practicing on threading mock barrels for actions and build up some confidence before I plunge into an actual blank. I have a few questions and was hoping y’all could help a dude out...

    Need help choosing budget friendly spotter with reticle

    There’s a bushnell outlet in my area and we get discounts for being NRA/local club members so it’s very hard for me to stray away from bushnell as a whole... I have 4 DMR’s and love them. We had an ERL match this weekend and I really didn’t care for the T 15-45.... I don’t know if it was the...

    Gunsmithing FN SPR firing pin bushing.

    I’ll try the CCI primers before I send it out, I’m a pretty decent tig welder and have a lathe in the garage, just not sure that’s a task I’d want to tackle quite yet

    Gunsmithing FN SPR firing pin bushing.

    Older thread but my SPR craters like a MFer too. Been considering getting it bushed myself, thanks for the post.

    Need help choosing budget friendly spotter with reticle

    Title bout sums it up, I’m looking at spotters and it has to have a reticle, would like to stay in the $1000 and under range. I spent some time behind the bushnell T 15-45 this weekend and wasn’t to impressed. I’ve seen this new Sightmark Latitude XD tactical 20-60x80 for $700 but have zero...

    iPhone vs foretrex vs kestrel

    Will be using it mainly for shooting precision rifle matches out to 1k ish, most of the time, I can just grab the humidity from someone who has a kestrel I reckon.... that is if I choose to go the Garmin route

    iPhone vs foretrex vs kestrel

    I like a bigger screen and simple operation, what model kestrel would you recommend if I choose that route? I hunt but, the likelyhood of me ever going on a hunt where I need GPS is unlikely but you never know.

    iPhone vs foretrex vs kestrel

    Ok then, what would you recommend for the delimma with not being able to true BC at distance? Thanks for the information frank!

    iPhone vs foretrex vs kestrel

    TL:DR using 4DOF, is kestrel or foretrex better? Need a bit of advice, I’m currently using the hornady 4DOF on my iPhone as a ballistic calculator, to decent success I might add. I’ve had my phone overheat several times and I’m looking at potentially buying a foretrex or kestrel. Which would you...

    Shooting PRS with a MOA scope

    This is what I trying to say in my previous comment, thanks for the correction.

    Shooting PRS with a MOA scope

    I started out with an MOA scope, one match was enough to sell my entire fleet of moa optics and go MIL. Pull up any ballistic calculator and look at the come ups for an MOA scope at a distance, then switch the calculator to MIL and look at how much less spinning turrets you’re doing. In the end...

    .308 ammo for positional/barricade on steel practice

    I’ve had decent luck with this stuff, http://www.sgammo.com/product/308-win-762x51-ammo/500-round-case-308-win-match-168-grain-bthp-prvi-partizan-ammo-pp321 was holding around 1.25-1.5 MOA. Price is fairly decent and the brass seems to pretty good on reloads. You could still reload a tad cheaper...

    FN A5M magazine issues

    Thanks for the reply’s, sorry it’s taken me so long to get back on and check. For those asking. I’m shooting .308 and I’ve been fucking with the mags getting ready for another local match at the end of the month. I’m about 90% sure my issues where ammo related. After going back through my brass...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Argos vs DMR vs Nightforce Benchrest

    I have a DMR and a DMR2, idk how I could put the “improvement” of the glass into a percentage but I will say it is better in my eyes. Same reticle, same magnification, just different generations. You also gain a few other options on the DMR 2 like a zero stop and a locking windage turret while...
