    Magpul edition Jeep Wrangler - Hypothetical

    Looking at buying a Jeep and had a thought: Jeep has made several special edition Wranglers, I'd like to see a Magpul edition. Not even sure I'd buy one because I'm so tacticool I don't have to advertise it. ;) Doesn't have to be over the top, just offer it in Magpul exterior colors like FDE...

    V-6 Wrangler Rubicon owners - How many miles per tank?

    Just curious, I had a 2006 Rubicon Unlimited that had to be filled every 210 miles, which is about 3 days of commuting for me. Got annoying. Not worried about MPG, just how often you gotta go to a gas station. Looking at buying a new one and want to know if that's changed at all with the...

    Hacksaw+Rem 5r= Poor man's Gladius? *Updated with results in 1st post*

    So I sold my POF, after 3 years I finally got bored. Sold her to a good friend who I know will treat the lady right. Now I needed something to go on hunting escapades. My new bitch had to be accurate, light (8lbs or less naked) and not throw my precious brass out into the woods or fart in my...

    185 Juggernaut velocity in a 16" 308?

    Anybody using the Berger 185 Juggernaut in a short 308 AR? What velocities are reasonable to expect? I've been shooting 155 Scenars at 2650 and 168 Amax's at 2520fps over IMR 8208XBR in a 16.5" P-308. Running out of powder and bullets and thinking about switching to the 185 Berger as I've...

    Rifle Scopes Why not the 3-20x50?

    Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of love for the S-B 3-20x50. Every time a question comes up where someone asks for an opinion on scopes the answer in mass seems to be "Get the 5-25x" without much explanantion. Just trying to figure out if there's something I'm not seeing about the 3-20x50 as it...

    Things to check out in Denver when contemplating moving?

    Contemplating a move to Denver, CO. It'll take 2 years for me to transfer up there, but I've decided to go give the work facility a look next week to make a final decision on whether to uproot or not. I'll be heading up there on Monday and leaving Thursday morning. I want to see areas to live...

    Using 6.5x47L dies to form 6.5 Super LR?

    Any of the 6.5 SLR guys here use a 6.5x47 Lapua FL die to form 6.5 SLR out of 243? Work ok? Can I use the seater also? I have the Redding Type-S FL set for 6.5 SLR, but would prefer to have a regular non bushing FL die for forming brass from 243. I have an expander mandrel to neck up, but am...

    Remington sees the light! 700 SPS in 260 w/1:8 twist

    Looks like Remington has caught on to the 6.5 craze, to be released at SHOT next week they will have the regular old hunting 700 SPS in 260 Rem with the 1:8 twist it should have started with. My guess is it's a market gauge to see about expanding their 260 lineup now that the Creedmoor is...

    I need a VLD seater stem for a Redding Competition seater (die already has micrometer adjust and sliding sleeve) Brownells/Sinclar sells 2 versions of the stems, long or standard length each with a unique part number. Anybody know the difference and which one I need? Searching turns up nothing...

    Mark Gordon mailed my M2013/XLR build today! *Pics*

    Got the tracking info via email today, she'll be here Tuesday! Can't wait! We're in the middle of moving, so all my reloading stuff is packed up. Won't get around to shooting it for two weeks or so, but I'll be finger banging it constantly I'm sure till then. It's taken me a year to get this...

    Bore guide for Accuracy International?

    What bore guide is everyone using for AI AW's in short action and where do I buy one? I see Possum Hollow makes one (model 223, put that in a search and see what happens) but no one seems to stock it. Badger Ordnance also makes one but no one seems to carry that either and they won't sell...

    Rifle Scopes Zeroing a scope at the top of elevation adjustment range bad?

    Curious whether it's bad to have a scope that's zero'd outside the middle of it's adjustment range? Let's say I have a quality scope (Nightforce) and I mount it on a rifle with a 40 MOA base. If a 100 yard zero leaves me with 24 mils up (out of a max of 27) is this a bad thing? I've read...

    Rifle Scopes Hope Kahles has something new for SHOT this year.

    After checking out the K624i I have a jonesin' for a mid range(magnification-wise) scope with all the same features. Something like an updated 3-12x50 with illumination and the parallax under the elev turret and their version of the MSR reticle or even (GASP!) a 5x range like a 3-15x50, or a...

    Rifle Scopes ANOTHER Nightforce 2.5-10x42 question: HS mil turrets or no?

    MidwayUSA shows the Mil-R reticle 2.5-10x42 as having high speed turrets and zero stop, no other dealer's website I've found says anything about HS, they just say ZS. I thought the compacts only came in 5 mil/rev. Anybody with hands on one that can confirm which turrets the new one has...

    Thank you to Kyle @ XLR Industries!

    I wanted to thank Kyle publicly for taking care of me and showing that customer service REALLY matters. I ordered a Carbon chassis for my M2013 build and it ended up taking longer than either of us expected. Things happen and I understand that, it seems there was a mixup in the making of my...

    Keymod rail accesories a PITA to install?

    I have a Noveske upper with NSR rail, and the Noveske Keymod QD sling mount is tight as hell. The mount attaches fine on the rail, but getting it lined up perfectly so my VTac 2 point sling will go all the way in took me an hour tonight and it's still tight as a drum. Difficult to snap in, and...

    Where to buy CD quality digital music online?

    It's time for me to step into the modern age. I have avoided downloading music for years because being a child of the 1990's I prefer to go to a store and buy a physical copy of an album in it's entirety. I prefer to have full CD quality as well as being able to lend the disc to whomever I...

    How do I remove the breeching ring from my M2013?

    I've decided to take Marty at Badger's advice and parkerize my M2013 before the outside gets Cerakote. I emailed Bagder inquiring about how to remove the breeching ring before I send it out but haven't gotten a reply yet in 2 days. Any help here? I'd like to mail it out for park'ing tomorrow...
