    Sidearms & Scatterguns Shotgun - repeating or auto, which one?

    My everything-shotgun is a Benelli M2 with a 24" barrel. It's lightly modified for 3-gun (stippled by yours truly, redneck bolt release, extended bolt knob and safety, dovetailed for rear sight, extended mag to barrel length, little flashlight/sling mount/mag reinforcement). It never fails...

    Steiner M1050R vs T1042R vs something else?

    Herr German, We didn't get a pic before sunset, but my friend offered to take one tomorrow. She'll email it to me, and I'd be happy to email it to you. As for your question regarding impacts, it depends on a lot. I never had much cause to think about the details of your question before, but...

    Steiner M1050R vs T1042R vs something else?

    PS: I don't know what you're looking to spend, but for the ~$400 I bought the set for used it's a no-brainer.

    Steiner M1050R vs T1042R vs something else?

    The optical clarity is impressive for its size. Both sides have a focus, and there's an additional focus in the middle. The mil reticle is gradated at half-mil intervals. It's a crosshair, so there's no grid in the sense of an H32. It's just labeled 10 milliradians in each cardinal...

    Steiner M1050R vs T1042R vs something else?

    I use the T1042R for a lot of different roles, from PRS, wildlife, to night sky. The binos are so small and light that there's no reason not to take them with you wherever you go. I can't answer your tech questions, but I can tell you that I love my T1042R for what it is, which is a very clear...

    Folding stocks, why?

    The main reason that I didn't add that option to my Manners T2 is that I didn't want the extra weight. There's also value to me in keeping my stuff simple. Yeah, I know, I'm off to hit the gym...

    Reloading Equipment GONE Large Pistol for Small Pistol or Small Rifle primers OHIO

    I have some Federal small rifle match primers. I'm not really looking to get rid of them, but I feel your pain. I could part with a couple thousand. Like you I'm looking for small pistol. I'm also looking for some BR-2s or any OK large rifle primer. I'm near Morgantown, WV but sometimes...

    Modern Day Sniper Summit

    Greg, I looked twice and didn't see where there are a limited # of spots. If that's the case I'll gladly give my ticket to someone in the business as well.

    Range Report Looking for an equation

    OP, you said you're "looking for an equation." The drag force on the bullet changes with the bullet's speed in a way that isn't simple. So "simple" physics with simple math (where we get to use an equation) isn't going to be fruitful in describing the trajectory . As the eggheads are apt to...

    Essential Gear for a new guy.

    There's a lot of great advice here. I'd just add that in my humble opinion a portable ballistics solver might not be preferred at this point over using jbm ballistics charts. Since you shoot at the same couple of places you could plug in their altitudes and weather conditions on days that you...

    Building Materials Spike !

    As far as lumber is concerned, there's also the tariff war with China to consider. A lot of folks around here aren't selling their timber because two main species are down. I think it was white oak and poplar, but I forget. It's been several months (just before things got more interesting in...

    Why shouldn't I build a 7-08?

    I chose the 7mm08 about 15 years ago. I like a shorter (20") barrel. After researching it and running ballistic charts till my eyes bled I remember the real-world muzzle speeds made more sense for 7mm08 than smaller calibers with the same length barrel. The advantage over the 308 was clear as...

    Gunsmithing Bottom Metal?

    I was where you are several years ago, but with a short action Savage. I sent the stock (B&C Medallist) to CDI Precision Gunworks. They inlet the stock and sold me the bottom metal that replaces your current magazine. They were great to work with, and the turn around was really quick...

    Manners Stocks mini Gen1 vs Gen2

    Good to know. Do you still prefer it over an alternate way to mount the rifle to a tripod that would eliminate the spacer?

    Manners Stocks mini Gen1 vs Gen2

    StrayDog, what's with the spacer between the tripod rail and the stock? Was it necessary for clearance?
