    40XB: Work in Process

    Updated: Just picked up this rebarreled 40XB yesterday. It: -Is US marked (not USMC or US PROPERTY) -Has the original stock -Has a Benchmark Barrels .17HMR 24" barrel installed (unsure of contour, didn't measure when I had it out of the stock) The action is in fairly good shape; light wear is...

    Rifle Scopes ACOG mount for Docter Red Dot...am I missing a piece?

    Disclaimer, this is not a sales pitch or ad...I have this from a previous purchase, I did not need it, I am trying to figure out what to do with it and my google-fu is weak. I know it is a mount via which a Docter Red Dot can be piggybacked on an ACOG. Everything I can find is of a mount with...

    Rifle Scopes Mount for an offset Docter Red Dot...need input.

    Just purchased a Docter Red Dot with the intent to use it on my AR with 1-4x (for now)... First off, some might ask "why an offset when you have a 1-whatever variable?". I'm looking to purchase a supplementary (fixed 12x, 3-15x, something like that) or replacement (think 2.5-10x, 3-9x...

    One of those range days...

    ...where things just go right. And you don't feel like you're wasting your time and money and energy. Not ALL my best groups, but I'm content. The one measuring .456" is (I'm rather certain) the best group I've ever shot out of any rifle...just went back and looked at some older targets and...

    62gr M855/XM855 and "acceptable" accuracy...

    Just got back from the range, and was pleasantly surprised by an off the wall ammo purchase I made last week. Local gun store had some PMC XTAC 62gr (20 round boxes) in stock, figured I'd try it...took my rifle (see below) with the intent to shoot for precision/groups just because it's been a...

    Recce-style Carbine, new range results

    Recently got a URX3.1 installed on my 16" Recce-style carbine. Hit the range on 11/02/2012 with a couple boxes of Black Hills 77gr SMK remans, hopefully to get slightly better results out of the combination than before. Last time I went out was a rushed low light/dusk/sunset situation, and...

    CZ 452V T4 Trainer: Post-Bedding with new results

    So I recently took the plunge to bed the CZ 452. I've bedded a 700SA before, so bedding wasn't necessarily something new to me. However, the CZ action was a totally different experience. I bedded only the rear tang, the front of the action/back of the barrel (up to the barrel screw lug) and in...

    173rd Airbone Casualties, RIP...

    Three soldiers were killed in action over the last several days. The first, "Pfc. Adam C. Ross, 19, of Lyman, S.C., died July 24, in Wardak province, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when he encountered small arms fire. Ross was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment, 173rd...

    Photos My SPR/Recce-styled Carbine

    Its latest stage of completion. Now with an IOR 10x42 and SAPR/SOPMOD (both via the Hide PX). Next step is liberal application of range time to rifle as shown, and Southwest Ammo 77gr SMK loads.

    Rifle Scopes Anybody running an ADM Recon SL?

    ...particularly on an AR?? If we're on this topic, why not on a bolt gun too?? Any input? I know ADM is good to go, just don't see too much about using this mount around here. As much as I would rather enjoy having dedicated glass for my 3 rifles, it will have to wait a little while. I have...

    Federal AutoMatch Target?

    The 40gr flavor stuff. How does this stuff do for "precision" .22LR at say 100 yards?? I've read decent stuff here and there, and just discovered that my local BassPro will stock it regularly and at a good price for a 'bulk' package. How say you Hide??

    Vertical Stringing, some insight??

    After my trip to the range today, I noticed how vertically strung my groups can sometimes get. And it's not just on my .22LR like today, I looked back on my best groups from taking my AR out with 69gr SMKs, and I think I'm seeing SOME vertical stringing going on? I'm not sure. Just trying to...

    .17HMR and barrel length...

    So, I've got a single shot H&R Sportster in .17HMR with a 22" barrel that seems to be screaming "Chop me to 16 inches...". Any reason not to with this caliber??

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5-10x32?? Was there something at SHOT?

    Or, was there supposed to be? I think I missed the memo about this thing on here. I saw it being tossed around in a couple places, and was curious what/how/why/when/etc. Any viable intel would be appreciated. Sidenote, I mean I saw a <span style="font-weight: bold">2.5-10x32</span> being...

    Don't call it a .22 to its face...

    ...its used to being called something bigger. From across the gunshop/range today everybody thought it wasn't a rimfire, until they came up close. I will add a Primary Arms 3x Deluxe mag (its just a .22) and an appropriate flip to side mount later. The Aimpoint T1 clone just showed up today...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Leaning hard towards a SW M&P 9mm.

    I've googled around, seen some youtube reviews, etcetc. I keep coming back to the M&P for a first real handgun. I just went to the local FFL and they have a couple package deals in stock; handgun, 3 mags, Bladetech weapon and mag holsters and mag loader (whatever, not really gonna probably use...

    Another Sig 522 Range Report (with results)

    This is from yesterday. I had a zen moment. The handguard is NOT freefloated, therefore, loading the CRAP out of the bipod will NOT make life any better. I shot these groups off my pack from prone. The rifle is the same as before, the only difference is that the glass this time is Bushnell...

    My 16" Blaster/Recce/SPR/Franken-gun (Results Up.)

    Well, it LOOKS a little misleading seeing as how there isn't any glass up top yet...this weekend when I take it out, I have 50 rounds of SW Ammo 69 SMKs waiting, and will have a Bushy 3200 10x mil/mil on top before it finds it's way onto my Sig 522. I intend to do this: -Eventually run a 1-4x...

    Completed: CZ452V Trainer (Results Up)

    After chasing UPS around town and finding where my stock was being held captive, this is what happened: The SS 3-9x will be replaced with a Bushnell 10x mil/mil and lower rings. Its on there for gratuity. I hacked one coil off the trigger spring, and ground down the engagement tab...
