    Eberlestock rifle packs - muzzle up or down?

    Re: Eberlestock rifle packs - muzzle up or down? These polls are lame...that being said...the Eberlestocks were designed to put the rifle muzzle down. You can do either, so it all boils down to personal preference. I have a brake on my 338LM, so the poster above comment about damaging the...

    Why choose a folding stock?

    Re: Why choose a folding stock? If you are talking about a LA sure the 2.0 stage is useful, but I can tell you I had the 1.5 on a SA and didn't need the folding feature to remove my bolt for cleaning. To the OP...I don't think you "need" it per se, but it can be a useful feature if you have...

    Rem 700 Milspec 5r Owners are you happy?

    Re: Rem 700 Milspec 5r Owners are you happy? I must be the oddball...my 5R shot good for a factory rifle, but my Savages out shoot the 5R. I ended up selling the 5R since I never bought into all of the hype. I have less money into my Savages and I can do most of the work myself. Don't...

    Re: FNSPR vs Sako TRG22 I'm a fan of both companies...but if I could only choose one...I say get the TRG...but I say get the TRG in a 260 over another 308.

    Re: First ever attempt today at 1550 yards 338 Lapua Where in PA? Looks like a lot of fun. I was going to try a mile shot in Central PA, but I need to get a replacement stock/chassis for my TRG 42 before that happens.

    KRG Whiskey 3 Chassis-Let's See Them

    Re: KRG Whiskey 3 Chassis-Let's See Them I don't suppose anyone on the hide would sell me their old Sako TRG42 stock. I just ruined mine by baking it as I was told by KG that Sako stocks would take the heat. The front piece doesn't seem to have any cracks in it, but the pistol grip piece...

    Eberlestock Rifle Chassis

    Re: Eberlestock Rifle Chassis There are some people with deep pockets on this forum, so I'm sure someone will buy the chassis. I for one won't be dropping this much coin into a stock when there are several competitors offering their stocks for under $1k price point. Selling stocks isn't...

    Gunsmithing Red Jacket Lead Time

    Re: Red Jacket Lead Time I like the episode with the 1,000 yard AK "sniper rifle" that had a BSA or Barska optic and they kept on saying how good the optic was on that rifle. I also liked the episode where they were having such a hard time finding ammo for 6.5 Arisaka rifle...it's called the...

    Noreen Bad News 338

    Re: Noreen Bad News 338 I had a Noreen 50BMG and can say that their brake worked very well...felt like my 243. The bad news rifle is pretty neat and I believe it's the only 338LM semi currently being offered. I don't get people say it's $5-6 a round...most people shooting 338LM are...

    Buy a Sako TRG 338 or Build a Rem 700 308?

    Re: Buy a Sako TRG 338 or Build a Rem 700 308? TRG42 with the factory brake or other aftermarket brake won't beat you up. The recoil from the TRG42 with brake is pretty tame.

    Why Cerakote?

    Re: Why Cerakote? Cerakote and KG Gunkote/Norrell's are much better than Duracoat...duracoat is shit. Thermal finishes are more durable compared to air cured products such as Duracoat.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns What 45 to buy????

    Re: What 45 to buy???? Everyone has their own opinions on which 45ACP is best. I don't take these types of posts too seriously. Buy what fits your budget and needs. I've owned 1911s and sold them...and the 1911 platform is the one pistol that I "missed" when I didn't have one in my arsenal...

    Midwayusa or Optics planet drag bag?

    Re: Midwayusa or Optics planet drag bag? I'm getting the bag from Midway. I will never order from OP again...they used to be great, but the last four orders have been terrible. OP doesn't even have a real time inventory system. Most of the products are out of stock. They are starting to...

    CMMG .308 CUSTOM

    Re: CMMG .308 CUSTOM I called CMMG the other day and left a vm for a call back. I wanted more info on the rifle as well. I talked to CDNN and guy said the finish is Cerakote, which is great. I wanted to get the weight of the rifle...I know it's going to be heavy since it has a PRS stock.
