    Good pants without drawing attention or looking like a tacti-tard.

    For tough functional pants that are not tactical looking, I agree with those pointing towards climbing (and sometimes hiking) pants. Products from Prana, Blurr, and Arc'teryx are some examples. The majority have active cuts, without that BDU look. They are made of light, breathable, and...

    McMillian A1-3 vs. Manner T3

    I have an A1-3. The comb is pretty high. It has a notch cut out for the bolt. I had an HTG before and found the comb to low. I liked the traditional grip, so chose the A1-3 to replace it. I've been happy. It's a pretty light and slim stock for the A series. I have no experience with Manners...

    Rifle Scopes Which Nightforce to get.

    I have an F1. I wouldn't trade it for the world. As for the Razor- Great reviews all around. I would try and handle one first if you haven't. They are big. The tower turrets really turned me off. I understander these are 'tactical' scopes, but I prefer somewhat low profile and the Razor...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 32mm

    I was at an Outdoor Equipment Exhibition today and Vortex had a booth set up. The Rep was a very friendly and knowledgeable guy. He saw me playing with 1-4 and 1-6's and came over to chat. I must admit: I don't really follow Vortex. I am familiar with the Razor's reputation and have handled a...

    Gunsmithing bdl question

    Re: bdl question If your rifle is a Remington 700 SA with factory BDL inlet then it will work. The canoe model allows an extra round to loaded. If you prefer a standard (ie: flush with bottom of stock) BDL, just order their regular one. Steel if you like steel, aluminum if you want a lighter...

    Rock Solid Chassis in time for XMAS

    Re: Rock Solid Chassis in time for XMAS The more I look at this stock the more I smile. Simplicity is a beautiful thing. Since people have already asked for a folder, I'll (humbly?) make more demands: - Chop everything forward of the front flush cup off - Angle the forearm up towards the...

    Remington 5R vs Savange 110FCP

    Re: Remington 5R vs Savange 110FCP Remington has a history of good performance and market support. Savage has proven itself to have equally good performance and listens to its customers wants. Each companies' flagship rifles have their quirks. My advice: If you want a Remington, buy a...

    Bad primers or something else?

    Re: Bad primers or something else? Interesting Sawgunner2001. I'm going to take a closer look at how flat my primers are and mark any that look 'off.' That way if they misfire, I may have learned something! Thank you.

    Bad primers or something else?

    Re: Bad primers or something else? I pulled the five rounds, re-primed, re-powdered, and re-seated. Did not touch the brass, so we shall see this weekend if they fire or not. Grease may actually be an issue, now that you mention it. I recently bought a new tube of synthetic grease and it...
