    New remington 5R

    Re: New remington 5R I've had a 5R for almost two years now. Great shooting .308. Before I got my NF on it, I had a leftover Tasco mounted on top. Seemed to shoot ok up to about 20 or 30 rounds. After that I noticed my reticle was canted. Don't have that issue with the NF. Might look at...

    First reloading results!

    Re: First reloading results! Might want to try some of the 52 SMKs with the 1:12 twist too. They shoot great out of my Savage 10 with 26 gr of Varget.

    Cartridge OAL to long on Rem 5R?

    Re: Cartridge OAL to long on Rem 5R? Sounds good. The dummy round I put together at 2.900 seemed to load ok from the internal mag. I'll run a couple ladder's tomorrow and see what I come up with. My biggest concern was making sure I wasn't going to blow my face off. Its not the greatest...

    Cartridge OAL to long on Rem 5R?

    I've been searching around and found some pretty good info. I measured the chamber on my 5R last night....then measured again.....and again. It came out to right at 2.900". After doing some research on here, that seems normal for a Remmy action. I planned on doing a ladder test tomorrow, and...

    Teen Mother Shoots, Kills Intruder

    Re: Teen Mother Shoots, Kills Intruder That would be good. I know my wife and I would like to help. Its a shame she didn't get a chance to unload the other barrel on his buddy.

    Shootin' suppressed through house, out window!

    Re: Shootin' suppressed through house, out window! I shot a coyote out the door a couple days ago. Granted the barrel was outside the house. A little over a mile to the nearest house in that direction, but I was shooting down....a good ridge behind her....and there was at least half a mile...

    Rifle Scopes Funny conversation at the gun shop today

    Re: Funny conversation at the gun shop today Had a kid working the floor at Gander Mountain (I know, not a gun shop, but they sell them anyway. Not much around here.) tell me he really wanted one of the new Savage bolt action slug guns. Said they only have a 6 inch drop at 200 yrds. I...

    Monitor for video camera?????

    Re: Monitor for video camera????? Varizoom makes a kit that comes with a 7" monitor, sunshade, battery, etc. It uses standard composite input. I use one on a camera crane from time to time. It works well for framing a shot, but don't expect to get a critical focus with it. Its still...

    Not one to "air out his dirty laundry"

    Re: Not one to "air out his dirty laundry" Not really sure what your skill set is outside of the paramedic thing here. But, with the communication systems in place in this country, more and more people make big money working from a home office. I know people that do everything from...

    need a recommendation on video converting software

    Re: need a recommendation on video converting software Download the VLC media player. They have versions for mac and pc. Its free. It will play freakin everything, and it has a streaming transcoding option that will convert files to .mp4. You can't batch transcode files like you can with...

    Rifle Scopes Rifle scope debate (need Help)

    Re: Rifle scope debate (need Help) I've got one of the Buckmaster / mildot / sidefocus / 4.5 - 14x 40 on a Savage .223. Works great. Image is still clear at max power. No problems up to this point. I think I paid around $200 for it from the SWFA Sample List. I could be wrong. Year or two...

    What are the chances?

    Re: What are the chances? Bad deal all around. Not sure why someone thought it necessary to fire a gun randomly up into the air. Guess I've done it a few times with a .22....not really random though. Crosshairs were on a squirrel's face. Bad bad deal. I've known a few Amish guys in the...

    Re: Hanks new bed Thanks for the complements. It was a fun project, and a great excuse to buy tools. I submitted it to Browning a couple weeks ago. We'll see what pans out. Hank likes it anyway.

    I made this bed for our first addition to the family. The last thing we wanted was a bed that looked like we got it at Target. This bed was designed around several of my favorite John Browning firearms. The man was a genius. The front rail is two hand checkered Winchester 1886 stocks that...

    Movie Theater CNBC "Report" on the Rem 700

    Re: CNBC "Report" on the Rem 700 Thanks. I don't think I've ever watched CNBC before, but I was bored channel surfing in the hotel last night. Didn't know that happened in Vegas. Must have been a re-run.
