    Build finishing ideas

    I am in the early planning phase of my rifle build and had a few questions. I initially questioned CM barrels vs SS barrels and was given some good advice in support of SS barrels on another forum. That said, I was planning on cerakoting either way but now I have been reading up on meloniting...

    Disabled Vet and his service dog discriminated against

    doesn't matter what the service dog is trained to do, it is a trained service animal and its a HIPAA violation to even ask what the disability is. doesn't matter if it is a seeing eye dog or a PTSD companion dog. my wife has trained service dogs in the past and we have a couple in the house...

    What Rifle NEXT???

    I vote 30-06 with 190s, but mostly because that's the route im currently going. my second choice would be a 308 with a shorter barrel and built with a lightweight folding stock. more urban portable if the need ever arises...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Tactical handgun

    I'm a huge fan of Glock. I used to hate them and have had several 1911s, couple of Berettas, and a couple Sigs. When I met my wife, the Glock is all she had and would shoot so I got a Glock for the house. money got tight, the more expensive guns got sold and after a few years of IDPA and...

    Seekins vs Nightforce rings

    i too like the sleeker appearance of the seekins without the nut on the side... NF is definitely great quality as well. NF also has the ability to get the level and the ADI on the ring as well if that matters to you.

    Remington 700 .308 18.5"

    for 165/168s I don't think the twist will matter all that much. might go 1:10 if you ever forsee playing with subsonics and a suppressor. other than that, 1:12, 1:11, or 1:10 wont matter much.

    Hunting & Fishing What scope are you all using on Hunting Rigs

    right now I have a millett buck gold 6-25x but I think its too much scope for where im at. will try to use it this year but would like something with a 3 or 4x low end at most.

    .357 semi-wadcutter (soft not cast) in a 9mm?

    maybe get a cheap Lee push through sizer in .356 to be safe? second question would be what kind of gun you are shooting them from? I haven't had any luck getting SWC bullets to be remotely reliable in my Glock 9mm. im hoping the opposite, that my cast 147s come out just big enough to work in...

    30-06 Precision Rigs

    anyone else? I read that the M24 SWS was originally intended to be a 30-06, and therefore is a long action. the 300WM is an afterthought that a lot of people say was the reason to go long action initially. Im currently debating whether I want to build a M24-ish rifle as it was intended, heavy...

    30-06 at 300WM velocity questions

    also, would it be better to run two loads and keep dope for both? say a 150gr NBT and a 190gr NAB-LR?

    30-06 at 300WM velocity questions

    I have heard that 30-06 can do 90% of what a 300WM will do without the extra muzzle blast, recoil, and with a longer barrel life. If I load my 30-06 to a 300WM level, like a 190gr at 2900fps, which I believe is the FGGM 300WM load and it has been done in 30-06 with RL22, would this not have...

    look at a 16" Remington 700 AAC-SD in .308. put it in the folding stock or chassis of your choice. they come in a 20" version as well. My dream rifle in this category would be a Nemesis Arms Vanquish...

    Midrange priced rifles....?

    I would go with a AAC-SD, 20" .308, Manners t2a with minichassis, PCR bolt knob, Badger Ord. 20MOA Base. should easily come in under $2K. add in a set of Badger Rings and a PST 6-24x scope and youre right around $3K complete depending on FFP or not. what im going to do for my 30-06 is a R700ADL...
