    Best deal on shoot-n-c style targets?

    I'm looking for larger sizes for shooting at 300 and 600 yards, so at least 8 inches and preferably bigger. Anyone know where the best deal is for these in bulk?

    Cheap hard case for a scope?

    I'm looking for an inexpensive hard case for my spotting scope. It is a Celestron C90, which has a 90mm lens (its a refractor) so its pretty thick. I think something in the 20"x8"x10 or 12" range would hold it and the eyepieces. It came with a case, but I have to disassemble the star prism...

    Rifle Scopes Best spotting scope under $200

    Re: Best spotting scope under $200 I don't think you'll find a scope under $200 that will be useful at 1500 yards. Konus scopes are between $200-300 and reviews are very favorable.

    Lake City once-fired .308 range brass

    Re: Lake City once-fired .308 range brass I use it in my Savage F/TR and it will hold 1 MOA out to 600 if I do my part. Works for me. I did need to use a small base die the first time to size it properly.

    Gunsmithing Bedding a rifle with a rubber gasket?

    I know that the best practice for bedding a rifle is using some sort of glass or epoxy compound, but does anyone have any experience bedding a rifle using some sort rubber gasket material? Ie, something that will compress enough to form a contour with both the action and stock, but remain rigid...

    Stevens noodle w/Sierra Match king reloads

    Re: Stevens noodle w/Sierra Match king reloads I have a Stevens in 7mm-08. It is a definite shooter (at least at 200 yards, havent taken it out farther yet), but as I noted in another thread the groups open up real fast if the barrel gets hot - like in about 5 rounds or so.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Strikefire????????????

    Re: Vortex Strikefire???????????? I have one, only issue is the positioning of the on/off switch. It is the farther point to the left of the scope when installed normally, and mine would usually turn off when the rifle is placed on its left side (on a AR). Per Scott at Vortex's...

    "Inherent accuracy" and precision 30-06 barrels

    I'm aware of the various discussion back and forth about 30-06 v 308, and also am aware that a 308 is considered more "inherently accurate" than a 30-06. However, much of what I've heard has been in the context of high power, which of course is usually limited to the various service rifles (at...

    Question for LE Swat Snipers-UPDATE

    Re: Question for LE Swat Snipers Where the price of the sale ($1) is so low compared to the actual value of the item sold, it may be considered a peppercorn and thus invalidate the contract. I know enough to know that this could be an issue, but you should obviously talk to a lawyer to know...

    More vertical grip extension for a rifle??

    Re: More vertical grip extension for a rifle?? I have seen such things with Swedish Mausers (mine actually came with one). I don't know if anyone makes one for the 700, but chances are if there is a rifle for which one is made, the 700 would be it.

    Advanced Marksmanship Placement of buttpad when shooting prone?

    Where are you guys putting the buttpad of the rifle when shooting prone (off a bipod if that changes anything). When I'm more upright, I put the buttpad into the pocket of my shoulder. But I'm pretty skinny and find that if I try to do the same when prone off a bipod, my back has to REALLY...

    Barrel wear/pitting v velocity?

    Re: Barrel wear/pitting v velocity? Thanks for the info guys. Thats interesting to know that velocity is one of the determinating factors regarding barrel wear. It certainly makes sense, though I had always assumed that the major performance indicator would be loss of accuracy. Sounds...

    Rifle Scopes Bad luck with scopes - Vortex Crossfire 6-24x50

    Re: Bad luck with scopes - Vortex Crossfire 6-24x50 It sounds like you are not happy with the scope the way it is. It is also sounds like the scope is not supposed to be the way it is. Contact either Vortex of SWFA, and I'm sure they will make it right. Both have reknowned customer service.
