    Gunsmithing Scope base screws

    Need to buy some 6-48 base screws (or re-tap action for something more common), and while the base (EGW aluminum) looks like it is machined for the weaver oval head screws, the countersunk holes are a little screwed up from someone drilling the screw heads. So, I am considering cleaning up the...

    Anybody seen this yet? Only for rent on I-tunes, think I may wait until it can be purchased, unless it's that good.

    Are resume's private at work?

    Is it legal to circulate applicants resume's around the work place? Meaning with multiple people who will not be involved in the hiring or interviewing process? I would think not, but the boss seemed to not care. What say you?

    Firefox users

    Has anybody else had any problems with the latest Firefox, running windows 7. I can't say for sure if it is Firefox, but after getting the latest update (or whatever came out on the 25th), my computer hangs up. Click on anything, anywhere and that program goes into "not responding" for about...

    Thermal Underwear

    This may be the wrong forum for this, but it is kind of equipment. I wanted to get Under Armor 3.0 cold gear, for a base layer. But being 6'5" there are no options for the tall guys. I searched for alternatives, and ran across: http://militarythermals.com/ I haven't seen any reviews, other...

    Electronic hearing protection

    I am going to be hunting with a 460 XVR and decided I am going to need some ear protection that will allow me the ability to hear as well. Most of what I have read seems to recommend Howard Leight impact sports or Peltor 6's or 7's. I would like to keep this in the under $200.00 price range. So...

    Letters to Lowlight

    I think this would be a great sub-forum, LL post some of the "Hate Mail" you get. Similar to the one posted in the hunting forum. I know by posting it, you would be validating them somehow. You know your doing something right when it pisses certain groups or individuals off! Just an idea

    178 A max alternatives

    I was looking for .308 178 A max's last night and none to be found (local Cabela's). Would the 180 <span style="text-decoration: line-through">interbonds</span> SST's be an acceptable alternative? The b.c. of the 180 grn interbonds & SST's are a diff. of .015 (.495 for A max, .480 for the...

    Ladder testing

    Made it out to shoot at 300 yds finally, 200 is too close for load development, IMO. .308 SPS-V 175 SMK R15 Win. brass CCI 200 I know it all has to do with barrel harmonics, but when I ladder test, as the charge weight increases, POI moves down. My lighter loads shoot above POA, and the...

    .260-.243-6.5 grendel

    I have a .308 bolt rifle, and a 6.5 grendel on the way. I am trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on another grendel, a .260, .243, or a .308 in the large AR platforms. I have 3 .223's already, I don't have a need for another. I need three more for replacement settlement on a house...

    Rifle Scopes FFP alternatives

    I am in need of a scope for my .308 SPS-V. It's just another run of the mill rifle stuck in the B&C A5 stock, timney trigger, 20 moa rail blah blah blah. I would like to have the NF 3.5-15 X 50 F1, but by the time I get the Zero stops, with the MLR reticle, and what not (which is what I want)...
