    Night Vision Is a low end thermal viewer worth it?

    I have been reading all the thermal hype for some time now and am considering making a purchase. I have been using a pvs14 with an ir laser for several years usually several nights a week. It is a great system. Even though I can see so much at night I know there is much that I don't see...

    Rear bag with removable fill?

    Hopefully someone can help me out here. A while back I saw some beanbags for sale on a site I can't remember. They were in 2 or 3 different sizes, cylindrical in shape and you could add or remove the poly beads. Anyone ever see anything like this?

    Why do my pistol reloads look like this?

    As the title says. 40 S&W, RCBS carbide dies and 180 grain Montana Gold bullets. I've shot hundreds of these without any issues. They are smaller diameter in the middle of the brass. I have tried to depict in the photo the best I could.

    Rifle Scopes A Question on Illumination Knob

    I am looking to upgrade the scope on my spr type ar and have been looking at the new Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x32 as a possible candidate. Do ocular mounted illumination knobs like on the pst's and Leupokd mk4's stick out enough to be an annoyance when slung low across your chest? I try to...

    Switching uppers and bcg Should I switch bolt to?

    Ok I bought a new Spikes barreled upper w/o a bcg or charging handle. I have been wanting to get another LAR side charger for my spr type rifle as I almost always run this suppressed and am tired of gas in the eye. I plan to put the old carrier in the Spikes. The LAR comes with a nickle boron...

    PDA died. Need More Help Please

    I've been running Patagonia Loadbase 3 and been pleased with the program. I especially like how I can sync back and forth between my mobile device and my pc. Well my Dell Axim X51v bit the dust and Patagonia Ballistics will not let me reinstall on a new pda so it looks like I need to purchase...

    Set Screw Gas Block on a Precision barrel.

    The barrel: 18" Compass Lake SPR. I have been running a clamp on folding sight and it has had almost zero use as I'm running a 2.5-10 power scope. I almost always shoot with a suppressor and it is way over gassed. The bolt slams back hard and after only a few rounds the interior is filthy...

    Midway Shipping Cost?

    I'm curios if any one has ordered from Midway and how much they charged for shipping? I had some items in my shopping cart and checked how much shipping was going to run me and the default option was UPS Sure Post. It's nice that their system automatically chooses the cheapest option...

    Rifle Scopes Amercan Defense mount- 1 or 2 levers?

    I see they make a scout mount for a little less than the 2 lever mount. Is this just as secure or should I go with the 2 lever? It will be used for a 1-4 range scope.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold VX-R Patrol. Made in USA?

    The 1.25-4 in particular. I am looking at a scope in the 1-4 magnification range around $500 or less. That could seal the deal.

    Is 300 Blackout/Whisper accurate?

    This is a round I have been contemplating for a few years now. It seems that this is made for AR-15 to run subsonic although it gets chambered in other platforms and ran at super sonic velocities. Searching a few forums I am not finding a lot of information on subsonic accuracy in an AR-15...

    Gunsmithing Problem With BM Inlet In New McMillan Stock

    I finally got my McMillan stock I ordered in November and I have to say it was worth the wait. The problem is the V Bull bottom metal for my Savage protrudes a little from the stock and there is a little over .125" up/down play in my 5 round AICS mag. The bottom metal sticks out an equal .125"...

    Range Report I need help with math to calculate scope error.

    OK, I used Lindy's method of using a 48" ruler at 100 yards to calculate the reticle and tracking error of my scopes. Scope number 1: Weaver Tactical Grand Slam 3-10x40. Being a mil-mil based scope, 10 mils on the reticle should equal 36 inches on the ruler and 10 mils of erector travel should...

    Which Range Finder? Bushnell Fusion or Swarovski

    I'm moving my targets out to 1300 yards and would like to range reliably out to around 1500. So it's time to upgrade the Leica Scan. I have read some good reviews on the Bushnell lately and am leaning in that direction, but the Guide has been a favorite for a while. Any opinions from users of...

    Gunsmithing Tips needed on refinishing by barreled action

    I'm going to refinish my Savage action while waiting for my new stock. I'm going to use Gunkote and have the blasting, spraying and baking part down and need some advice on the details. I plan on coating all the bolt parts except the bolt head. I want to leave the lugs alone. Like wise I...

    Which locations to have my flushcups installed?

    I ordered my A-5 stock via JW Precision today. I have cups mounted on the forearm left and right, and one left rear. Where on the rear side is the best location? I have seen pics mounted low, middle and high. I ordered the stock with the integral cheek rest and want to carry my rifle slung...

    Is the spacer system and a 1/2" pad enough?

    Just curios, all the pictures I see have a thin 1/2" pad on the spacers. A few years ago I broke my collar bone and there is a ball of bone right where the butt stock rests. The McMillan I sold had the 1" pad and it didn't really bother me, just left a red mark after shooting. Now I am...

    .223 Powder Funnel

    I have been using Satern funnels for my 308 and 223 and like them a lot. I just recently started using Tac in my 223 and when I dump the powder some always ends up on the loading block. Can you recommend a funnel that fits <span style="font-style: italic">inside</span> the case mouth or is...
