    Baddest military action - based target/sniper rifle

    Baddest sniper action?? Gunny Hathcock's scoped M2 without a doubt. You could pew, pew, pew your way through waves of infantry or light armor...

    Sporterizing a 1903A3

    Fair enough; I really think at the end of the day whether you go with a 280 or '06 you're going to get the job done. All this talk about sporterized Mausers got me looking on gunbroker and then I ended up buying this: I can't quite to seem to get the link to work right on my end, but the item...

    Sporterizing a 1903A3

    I completely agree with you Sandwarrior, in my opinion the Op should really prioritize the purpose of the rifle prior to building it. In my opinion, trying to find a do-it-all caliber results in a mediocre rifle. I've went back and forth myself about a hunting rifle that's capable of...

    Sporterizing a 1903A3

    Mauser, have you considered looking at a 25-06? I'm not sure it would be my first choice for elk or moose but it would be hell on pigs and deer

    Attack in the UK.

    While some of the members of the IRA may claim to be Christian, the terror they inflicted has no grounding in the Bible or in the teachings of Christ whereas the actions just seen in London have basis in the teachings of Islam. This is an important distinction people seem to forget or not...

    Best route to take (hunting precision rifle)?

    I don't think that you're out of luck, I'd be willing to bet you could easily make some type of "plug" that would sit in the magazine beneath the follower that would prevent the follower from going down far enough to allow more than 5 rds from being loaded. Some time back, I made one out of a...

    Budget .223 bolt rig for youths? (PRS)

    I didn't see it mentioned earlier but I feel a CZ 527 carbine is definitely worth looking at. They come in .223 & 7,62x39, both super cheap to run. I prefer 7.62x39 for deer/pigs personally

    AK-47 for around $800

    Yup, pretty much sums up my thoughts. I do think Century C39s have closed the gap a bit but I still think Arsenal takes the cake. Love my Arsenal SGL21, fun to plink with, great brush gun for deer and pigs

    Generational Gun Dislay

    I have to disagree with Boltripper, don't be that guy who sells off the family heirloom firearms. Take care of them, display them, and show the next generation the importance of them. That being said, I don't think it matters as much how they are displayed, but just that they are and you taking...

    Build me a rifle for an ACOG

    I was looking for an excuse to buy an ACOG in the worst way awhile back until I got a chance to borrow one. Don't get me wrong, I actually like the fixed power and the eye relief I could deal with. What was a deal breaker for me is my eyes are a bit weak and so the only way I could get any sort...

    Intelligent Life outside of the Bear Pit?

    I actually took the time to listen to the whole story. You can't make that stuff up

    Gotta say I am pretty happy with the Trump veteran cabinet members.

    I was definitely happy to see that Petraeus did not get a position. I can respect his service to our country but in my opinion, he needs to fade into the background

    Hunting & Fishing Question for you Texas folk

    Okay, thanks. I just needed to be sure. I don't see it being an issue with coyotes as they are color blind. Not sure off the top of my head about bobcats

    Hunting & Fishing Question for you Texas folk

    I have an upcoming predator hunt and I seen on Texas Parks & Wildlife's website that there you are required to wear blaze orange while hunting in the national forests. My question is, does that also apply to Wildlife Management Areas? Is predator hunting exempt from wearing blaze? Not that it...

    Hunting & Fishing Tried my hand at a European Mount

    Nice work! I'm not sure what they charge over by you but the going rate is 40-50 in my area. For 40 bucks I'll let the taxidermist do the work, but of course, to each their own. Something to keep in mind, he told me if the meat starts getting rank that beatles won't touch it, in which case your...

    M1A Bedding

    I used Acra-Glass gel to bed my standard M1A walnut stock. If you use that product make sure you do it when its warm; I did it during the winter and my shop gets cool; overall the project turned out good but it was really difficult to work with. The rifle now shoots 1-1.5 MOA and was definitely...
