    Who has an Eagle or Tac Ops cheek rest in stock?

    I'm looking for a right hand shooter model, preferably in OD Green. Everyone seems to be out of these, not sure why?

    Rifle Scopes Vortex StrikeFire

    Re: Vortex StrikeFire I just got one and have been pleased with it so far. My only gripe is the location of the on/off switch (which cycles through the red and green dots too on my model). The switch is the farthest thing to the left of my rifle, and if I rest the rifle on the bench on the...

    Rifle Scopes can you see a bullet hole with your scope

    Re: can you see a bullet hole with your scope How much farther can you guys see .223 with a shoot n c style target? Also, is a spotting scope going to resolve better than some of the newer 24x - 32x scopes, or is that magnification at the limit of resolving power in terms of atmospheric...

    Eagle industries or tac ops cheek pad?

    Re: Eagle industries or tac ops cheek pad? How do any of these cheek pads fit on a standard A2 stock for an AR? I'm just worried that the stock gets too narrow towards the grip.

    Rifle Scopes Are there mid priced geared tripod heads?

    Title pretty much says it all. I have decent tripod legs, and a decent ball head, but a geared head would make life much easier fine tuning the position of my spotting scope at the range. That said, I don't want to spend hundreds of $ on a geared head. It's weird, there are either the uber...

    Suppressors Best survival knife for under $200??

    Re: Best survival knife for under $200?? Take a look at the Swedish knifes from Mora: http://www.ragweedforge.com/SwedishKnifeCatalog.html They are very light, made of very good steel, the handles fit the hand very well (at least my hand), and they are DIRT CHEAP! Admittedly the...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper vs Crossfire

    Re: Vortex Viper vs Crossfire What exactly makes the Viper a "better" scope than the Crossfire? I know what can affect scope quality - glass clarity, ruggedness/build quality, ability to hold zero, tracking, etc - but how does the Viper stack up against the Crossfire specifically? Or is it...

    Talk to me about precision, long-range AR15s

    Re: Talk to me about precision, long-range AR15s Thanks all. One thing I don't get is that the WOA 24 and 26 inch barrels only come in 1 in 8 as the fastest twist. Any reason for this? Do the longer barrels stabilize the heavier bullets with a slower twist? (I don't think so, as isn't...

    Talk to me about precision, long-range AR15s

    I'm getting a nice tax refund this year and I'd like to pick up a dedicated long-range AR upper. Shooting will be 200-600 yards at the range, no hunting (possibly further if I ever actually find such a range near me, and I have my doubts). I did some searches but was actually surprised that...

    Rifle Scopes Universal 30mm to 1 inch ring reducers?

    The search function didn't yield anything, but sorry if this has been addressed before. Are there any decent universal ring reducers? I'm going to get a ring set for my AR and I'd like to get 30mm rings in case I upgrade in the future. But right now I'd like to mount my 1 inch tubes in it. I...

    How quickly do thin barrels start walking?

    I recently picked up a Stevens 200 in 7mm-08 for hunting. I grabbed a Boyds featherweight thumbhole sporter and dropped the action in (no pillar or bedding of any sort). She shoots ok with my handloads, ~1 moa out to 200 with some Nosler 120 grain Ballistic tips, at least for the first 5 or 6...
