    what do you think of bore snakes?

    Re: what do you think of bore snakes? Have never owned or used one. Have used coated Dewey rods for over 10yrs and they are fine.

    Sako M995 (TRG-S) .338LM: poor man's base rifle?

    Re: Sako M995 (TRG-S) .338LM: poor man's base rifle? The great thing about the TRG-S is it will take the TRG42 trigger and magazines. I am looking at a TRG-S that is wearing a TRG42 factory barrel. Took just a bit of opening up the factory stock to float the barrel. Not like there is .25"...

    223 vs 22-250

    Re: 223 vs 22-250 The .223 is more versatile. A .22-250 with a 6.5 twist barrel and 90gr bullets could be an awesome 1000yd rifle. Go AI on the case and get all there is to get. I shoot 75/77 gr match bullets in my .223s and have a 6.5 twist WOP barrel on one. For real performance try...

    Rifle Scopes Anybody ever install NM sights on a M1 Garand?

    Re: Anybody ever install NM sights on a M1 Garand? In 1992, I bought NM sight kit from Fulton Armory along with their match spacer kit. No big deal to install. The Kuhnhausen book is $45, check Fulton's sight for some instructions and save your money unless you are pulling barrels or doing...

    Re: AR gas piston retrofit Exactly! The gas piston system on an AR is a step backwards.

    long action what to do?

    Re: long action what to do? An ADL is the perfect rifle to convert. The first .308 Rem 700 sniper rifles for the Army were Long Action builds. About the only argument for the short action concerns feeding smoothness. I wanted to be able to use heavier bullets and have more versatile...

    Rifle Scopes does this exist? Fixed 6x w/mil-dot&bdc turrets

    Re: does this exist? Fixed 6x w/mil-dot&bdc turrets If you watch Ebay, you can find a mk4 m3 6x from time to time, and also the target m8 with AO MD and target turrets Could have one of those converted over to M1 turrets. Quite a bit of elevation in those scopes iirc. The 6x mk4 is really...

    Arcteryx Blade 30 Pack

    Re: Arcteryx Blade 30 Pack Arcteryx makes some very decent gear, but.. Whatcha gonna do with that bookbag/backpack? No waistbelt, not much of a suspension system. Save your money and try the local goodwill for a $5 used jansport or northface book bag/daypack. Unless the pack has stays or...

    AR-15 - Looking for Top Accuracy

    Re: AR-15 - Looking for Top Accuracy For $590 to $700 you can get a turnkey upper from White Oak Armament in varmint or match configuration. I would go 1:7 twist. If you don't like their round float tube, buy a Badger Ord Stabilizer Handguard. Maybe WOA will even install it on your upper...

    Larue Stealth snipers- any good?

    Larue Stealth snipers- any good?

    Re: Larue Stealth snipers- any good? A 168gr bullet started at 2600fps will have 434ft lbs of energy at 1000yds according to Sierra. A 175 started at the same velocity will have 529. My understanding of sniping is that it's about making The Hit, not the kill. Hit your enemy and disable...

    Larue Stealth snipers- any good?

    Re: Larue Stealth snipers- any good? I think the duty slotted sniper is likely less of an aficionado of The Rifle than most competitive shooters. Carlos Hathcock was a Wimbledon Cup winner before being a sniper. McBride was a competitive shooter. How many of the greats pushed themselves in...

    what twist for my 338 lapua GAP build?

    Re: what twist for my 338 lapua GAP build? Think about this for a minute.... How much heavier bullet can you really use in a .338 Lapua? I don't shoot one, but use the .338/300 just so I can get more bullet seating room in the magazine than I could with .338 Ultra. Gotta be even more a...

    Why the .308?

    Re: Why the .308? The .308 Winchester offers excellent accuracy and Long Barrel Life. The .284 Win, .260Rem, and .243 can offer greater longrange potential, but competitors usually see 1200 rd barrel life with these over bore cartridges. 7mm-08 might be better in terms of barrel life, but...

    Larue Stealth snipers- any good?

    Re: Larue Stealth snipers- any good? I haven't called anyone a liar here. I haven't advised anyone not to buy whatever their heart desires. If it is having a larue state of TX logo on your gear, like a crocodile or polo pony on your shirt; be my guest. But I see nobody addressed the websites...

    Larue Stealth snipers- any good?

    Re: Larue Stealth snipers- any good? I don't want to start a flame war or make any new enemies. Maybe if you get a taste for accuracy, you learn more what directly contributes to it. Not too interested in JP rifles. They make a decent float tube. Badger Ord Stabilizer Handguard is...

    Larue Stealth snipers- any good?

    Re: Larue Stealth snipers- any good? Reading the LaRue site description for their product shows me that they don't understand what sniping is about: From their discussion of the handguard: "... This is vital when utilizing lasers, optics and other hardware. The side and bottom rails are...
