    Rifle Scopes Impressions: NF 2.5-10x42 vs. Bushnell LRHS?

    I am quite familiar with the Nightforce NXS line and have used them since the only place I could find one was Gary's Gun Shop in Sioux Falls back around 2000 give or take. I just got in a couple of the new Bushnell LRHS scopes and my first impression has been great. The glass clarity and...

    Suppressors Surefire FA68AR and SpecWar 762 comparison this afternoon

    OK, it is not apples and oranges. The guns were NOT identical by barrel length, barrel manufacturer or buffer weight. (Didn't even check buffers). Only cared about how the sound signature of these two setups compared. Only the ammo was the same, SSA 110 grain Accu-Bond Compared the two...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 2.5-10x56 best moonlight pig hunting scope?

    Is there a scope that would provide better low light performance at night under a full or partial moon? The idea is to hunt wild boar at night from 100-400 yards with a normal scope (no night vision setup). This S&B scope looks like it might have the best light gathering. Any better...

    Rifle Scopes Please help recommend a good hunting scope for a light 270 WSM

    Hello, I would like to put a smaller but really well built scope with excellent glass, tracking, water reisistance, customer support and not have excessively heavy weight. I prefer a reticle like the Zeiss Z-600, S&B TDS or a NF Velocity Reticle style over a simple duplex. I would prefer...

    Chopping Cooper Prec. 26" .308 AW barrel to 16"

    Everyone, I have a Cooper Precision 26" .308 barrel that was made for the Arctic Warfare a few years ago that I am wanting to chop to 16" for full time use with a sound suppressor. Any reason to cut it to 18" or 20" instead? I am looking for portability over absolute velocity. The thinner...

    FN SPR's with factory muzzle threaded barrels?

    I can not find a model number for any FN SPR that comes with a threaded muzzle (5/8x24). I thought I saw one at their booth at SHOT in January but I could easily have that wrong. I was just walking by and thought, "'bout time FN put threads on those muzzles". FN's website page for rifles...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 3-9x42 vs Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10x44

    Both of these scopes seem to be very well built and have good glass, especially for their respective price points ($600 for the SS 3-9x42 and $400 for the Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10x44). Is the SS 3-9 worth 50% more than the Vortex 2.5-10? I am mainly focused on quality of glass and durability...

    CZ 455 PT or Sako Quad?

    Please share your thoughts between these two guns for a precision trainer. The CZ 455 PT's are nice. The Sako Quad's are very nice also. The areas of concern with the Sako Quad are: 1) mag availability 2) mag reliability 3) spare parts 4) extra cost I am much more familiar with the CZ's...

    Hello, I am looking to put together a couple of ACCURATE, fun to shoot bolt actions for the kids that will run with scopes, 16" barrels, bipods and suppressors. I have owned several CZ's and currently have an old BRNO Model 4 trainer that I LOVE! I would like to get a couple of the CZ 452...

    Hunting & Fishing Suppressed 16" .308 FN SPR for hunting deer/pigs

    I am considering barreling up an FN SPR action in .308 with a 16" Bartlein 1/10" barrel running a sound suppressor for hunting deer and pigs out to 300 yards or so. Has anyone done a similar build? Where you happy with the 16" tube or do you wish you had gone 18 or 20"? This gun is meant to...

    Range Report AI AE .308 - 18" or 20" barrel for suppressed use?

    I am going back and forth between 18" and 20" for the barrel length of this Accuracy International AE MKII gun. The barrel will be threaded 5/8x24 and run either my Cyclone or a 300 SD when they become available. With a 18" barrel this setup with either can will give me about a 27" total...

    Gunsmithing Anyone use Dupont Teflon-S for refinishing?

    I hear good things about Dupont Teflon-S but you have to buy a gallon of it, minimum, and it's NOT cheap. I do enough refinishing to justify the cost if the product has a good abrasion, corrosion and chemical resistance which it is supposed to. I would appreciate any input from anyone familiar...

    Hunting & Fishing My 10 year old daughter got her first deer today!!

    I am not sure who is more excited, her or me! She has wanted to hunt since she was 3. She started coming with me hunting deer when she was 6 and we bought her first tag a week ago and she filled it tonight with a .243 w/ Barnes 85 grain triple shock. Nice big doe kept pointed straight at...

    Rifle Scopes New Leupold for hunting scope?

    My choice is down to a 4.5x14x40 LR Matte 30mm w/Varmint Hunters recticle or a NXS 2.5x10x32. I was planning on getting the Leupold and just noticed that they have changed the part numbers and the price is more than I remember. Please share your thoughts on the quality of current Leupold's...

    D&L Sports ITRC match in Gillette, WY in August

    Is anyone familiar with this match? I plan to visit a friend in Yankton, SD and he would like to drive over and watch part of this match. I think this might be fun and a good learning experience. Neither one of us has attended a match like this. Please share any thoughts the match and if...

    Range Report 6.5 Creedmoor barrel length?

    I would normally just get a 26" barrel and be done with it but I will probably run it suppressed a good amount so I am looking at making it a few inches shorter. Has anyone ran the 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5x47L or .260 Remington at 22" or so and regretted it? Most shooting will be less than 600 yards...

    Hornady's 6.5 Creedmoor brass quality?

    I read last night on the midwayusa.com review area for Hornady's 6.5 Creedmoor brass that it is too soft and after 1 or 2 reloading's the primer pocket grows and leaves you with loose primers. Is this accurate? There was only 3 or 4 reviews so it is a VERY small sampling. I would appreciate...
