    Rifle Scopes New Vortex Razor Gen II Rifle Scopes (Images, Spec, Etc)

    It was just as heavy as you imagine it would be, but the glass was damn good! Hard to tell how good when looking through it in an artificially lit hotel ballroom, but appeared to be plenty bright given the "conditions". I currently have more than 1 Razor. It has been my favorite scope...

    Tell me about SHOT Show

    I know many people here loathe LaRue Tactical. I own an OBR 5.56 and it shoots pretty well, so I guess I'm biased. I was looking forward to seeing their booth and finger-banging all of the LaRue rifles. Well...too bad. They didn't have one single rifle there. Just a display case with most...

    Tell me about SHOT Show

    Played blackjack with the owner of Bartlien and his wife. Really nice people. Shot show is cool thus far. Went through the shot university classes today and gained some insightful information. Tomorrow will come faster than I want it to, but glad I decided to go down to the casino. Met...

    Who shoots .300 Win Mag 208 Amax/H1000?

    I have this same set up for my 300 WSM, but I haven't run it yet (b/c I'm getting great results with 178 gr AMAX/IMR4350 60.0 gr). I'm planning on using the 208's for long range though. 26" Bartlein 5R 1:10 twist. I'll post results once I try it.

    308 bullet choice

    I voted for 175 SMK's because that's what I'm currently using in my Rem 700 action trued up to Kreiger 26" 1:12 twist barrel. Blowing the 168's out of the water giving me sub .5 MOA accurcy, but I haven't tried them any further than 300 yards. Still haven't landed on the right load for them...

    Savage now and then AKA why people hate Savage

    Not sure what all you're wanting to get out of the donor rifle, but I'm assuming it's just the action. You can buy a new Rem700 receiver/action at Brownell's right now for $449. 700 SHORT & LONG ACTION RECEIVERS | Brownells

    He said, "No Thanks!"

    There's a guy that works for me that's about 8 - 10 years younger than me. He's pretty much a "gun nut" for lack of a better term (I'm not using the term enthusiast on purpose). He "knows" everything about guns, and he will tell you. I've taken him shooting, and he's brought his tricked out...

    A poll - Is your weekly income more than $219.95 USD

    Kasey, my tshirt came today....and I was completely floored to see what came along with it. I've had family at my house doing Christmas already, and have had to deal with a couple of life's harder things that we sometimes must face during this time of the year. Your unexpected surprise was...

    Rifle Scopes Two new March scopes

    And now it will be on my rifle.....until I can get my hands on the 52mm version! But it'll be an improvement from the Leupold Mark 6 for the time being.

    My wife's first trip to the range

    Don't get me wrong, it's a nice rifle and all, but probably not THAT nice! Glad to see someone pulled this thread up. I've done one round of handload testing, and I recently obtained a Giessele Hi-Speed Nat Match to replace the SSAE I had previously installed. I've been a little...

    Bad out of the box

    Join date: Dec 2013 First Post: Laying groundwork to defend tr.net (possibly) Post some pics of your rifle, pics of targets, and describe your results in greater detail. What's "great" is very subjective, and while it may be great to you, and might not live up to another guy's standards. A...

    MosesTheTank, you truly are a tank. What do you do for a living? You're much better than I would be at continually keeping your cool about this.

    Budsgunshop... another company who gives no fucks about their customers

    That's crap. Waiving the transfer fee should be the easiest thing for them to do.

    And the WAIT is over....My 6.5 x 47 Lapua 98% DONE.

    I'm with you on that. While I don't have an era of time in the service to reference, I have typically preferred OD Green to FDE. I've opened up to FDE more in the past few months, mainly b/c I bought a rifle on snipershide that had an FDE AICS chassis, and it started to grow on me. Then my...

    Budsgunshop... another company who gives no fucks about their customers

    OP, you were a long time customer, a repeat customer, and you were in the process of buying 4 other guns at the same time.....yet Bud's treated you like you were just some other guy on the street. That's bullshit, and I can understand why you're so pissed off. I think everyone would be pissed...

    And the WAIT is over....My 6.5 x 47 Lapua 98% DONE.

    I think the FDE looks really sharp. That's a pretty sweet looking rig already. I just picked up a GAP 6.5x47 Lapua that I had bought from a guy on snipershide back in October. Barreled action only. I had it shipped to my gunsmith for cerakoting and to get the barrel threaded. I went with...

    I'm done with MidwayUSA

    Ha!!! It is indeed! I did get the email saying it was "shipped", but that doesn't always mean it was actually shipped. That just means they created a label. However, in this case, I do think it was shipped when I received the email b/c it was 9:47 PM on Dec 10, and I had ordered at 2:00...

    Which mount for your US Optics SR-8?

    Oh yeah...$220 mount for $150. That's a good enough deal for me to at least give it a try.
