    Rifle Scopes Prefered Objective, and why?

    For alot of years the conventional wisdom seemed to be that a 40-42mm objective was the prefered size for a tactical scope and that main tube size was what was important. Now it seems as though alot are going to a 50mm or larger (take the USMC Schmidt & Bender with a 50mm for example). So my...

    Gunsmithing A couple of questions for you Pro's

    Two quick questions for the Pro's here. The first concerns Pac-Nor barrels. All I have used in the past is Schilen barrels. While surfing I was drawn to Pac-Nor's site, and they have some features that are desirable to me. Being a fan of Savage actions, I like that the Pac-Nor barrels can be...

    Still A Contender?

    I know this topic is going to raise ALOT of controversy, but this has been nagging me for quite awhile. My first precision rifle (that I still have and love) was a Remington PSS in .308. I cut my teeth on this gun and cartridge and still love it. I have since had the .260 Rem, 6.5X47 Lapua...

    Rifle Scopes Worth Keeping?

    I just picked up a Remington Sendero 300 Ultra Mag from a local Pawn Shop with the intention of building my next project. It has a SWFA SS 10X scope with the side focus. I don't have any experience with this particular scope. My inital impression is that it seems to be a fairly well built...

    .338 Edge Build

    After ALOT of searching I have come to a wall on my .338 Edge build. I have built other cartridges(.308, 6.5 Creedmore, .260 Rem and others) on both Remington and Savage actions. I have come to prefer Savage actions, but for this build I am stuck as what to do. I can't come up with a way to...

    .300 Blackout

    Hey All---- I was all set to go with ordering a barrel for the .300 Blackout. But now I have read a few negative comments about it so I decided to go to the pro's for advice. I really like that there is minimal changeover from 5.56 to the .300. Also that I can form brass from 5.56 (I have...

    .300 RUM? Not sure

    Hey all I got my .260 done and it's shooting great out to 1000yds with the 140 VLD's. So it got me thinking about a new winter project. I have a Remington 700 Magnum action and a Savage action in .300 Win Mag. So I got thinking about a .338 for long range (past 1000yds). I was ready to go with...

    7mm Rem Mag

    I was offered an older Sendero today (looks to have a pretty low round count) in 7mm Rem Mag. I don't have alot of experience with this cal other than a little hunting. So what can you all tell me about how this would perform at 1700-2000? Been looking at the 180gr VLD's and with the high BC...

    Rifle Scopes IOR vs Nightforce

    Well with tax time comeing around, and good news from the Accountant it's time for a new scope. I am going to replace the Leupold 10X Ultra on my .260 with a variable with higher magnification. A friend of mine has an IOR Snipershide Edition on his 6.5 Lapua. After shooting it I fell in love...

    .338 Lapua or .338 Rem Ultra

    Just wondering about your opinions on this. I am having a new rifle built. I have decided on a .338, but not which one. I have it narrowed down to two. Either the .338 Lapua, or the .338 Rem Ultra. What are the experts opinions here?

    Vector Arms

    Hey all, I was offered a copy of the H&K 94 built by Vector Arms. Good deal, but still alot of $$$$. So does anyone here have any experience with them, and would it be a good purchase or not? I have wanted a 94 for a long time, but not if it's a pile of crap.

    6.5 Grendel Upper

    Hey All, Looking for the opinion of the experts out there. I have finished an AR-15 Lower, and would like to build it in something a little different this time. I have built many in .223/5.56, so this time I thought something a little more long reange. A friend suggested (and gave me a quantity...
