    Omega 300 on ar15

    I am new to suppressors and am looking at getting an Omega 300 and a Warlock 22 on Silencerco’s bogo deal. The Omega will be shared between a 20” .308 and an 18” ar15 in .223 (Wylde chamber) and the Warlock will be used on a bolt action 22. Use will be hunting and target practice, no...

    Rifle Scopes Howa scope base

    I just ordered a Bushnell LRHS on the GA Precision deal to go on a Howa barreled action. I was hoping someone could tell me which bases for the Howa short action have a recoil lug? I've seen EGW, Nightforce, and Burris but I have only seen one place that says the Burris has one and nothing on...

    Adjustable gas block

    I'm looking for a adjustable gas block for my ar15. Right now I'm leaning towards the one from Joe Bob Outfitters for $30, but wanted to check out other options. I need a low profile to fit under the handguard (LaRue). I was looking at the SLR, but I don't plan to change it once it's set and I...

    Swarovski or Leica?

    I'm looking for a good rangefinder that will reliably range out to at least a grand and have narrowed it down to either the Leica 1600b or the Swarovski. Right now I can get them both for the same price so that is not a factor. From what I have read the Swarovski will range farther but has a...

    OCW results, not sure what to make of this.

    I'm trying the ocw method for the first time and my results are not what I expected after reading the instructions. I'm h-4831sc under 190 Berger VLD-h's out of my 300 win mag at 200 yards. I shot 3 rounds of each charge starting at 70.5 moving up in .5 grain increments to 73. All rounds were...

    Problems finding seating depth

    This morning I was trying to measure the C.O.A.L. on my R700 5R 300 WM with 190gr Berger vld hunting bullets. I was using a Stoney Point C.O.A.L. guage and comparator to measure to the ogive. I was getting measurements from 2.807 to 2.840. I just am lost as to why. I was using it the same as I...

    cheap shooting mat mod

    I have one of the cheap Midway shooting mats. It is simple and functional, but the one thing I hated was when I tried to load my bipod the feet would slip down the apron. So the last time I was at Walmart I picked up a piece of canvas material and some heavy duty thread. It cost me about $7. I...

    questions about my new CZ

    I just picked up a VS 452 thumbhole. I was lookiing for a Savage, but saw this on sale for $400 ($80 off original price) and figured I would give it a shot as I keep reading how good they are on here. I just have a few questions. Was this a good deal? I only paid $200 cash after trading a...

    Gunsmithing buying a stock that has been bedded

    I found a stock for sale that has been bedded with devcon for a decent price. Should I be scared? I have never attempted to remove/redo a bedding job and don't want to get into something over my head. I have bedded a couple of rifles with satisfactory (for me) results. I would think I could just...

    how often do you anneal

    I have some brass (300wm) that is on its 3rd loading and have been thinking about trying my hand at annealing before I start working up a new load. I've read a couple articles on the subject but was wanting to get some firsthand advice. Any help would be great. Thanks guys!

    do these numbers sound right?

    Just worked up a load for my R700 5r 300WM. 76.7gr. RL-25 175 Berger VLD-H CCI 250 Win brass. Shoots well 1 1/4" @ 200 yards, but my velocity seems a bit low compared to what I have heard others getting. It averages 2875 over my chrono. The temps were about 40F so that might have had...

    5r recoil pad

    Stupid question, I know, but how do you get it off? I don't see any screws. Is it glued on?

    fire forming brass

    I want to fire form some 300WM brass before starting load development. I plan to use some 150 grain soft points and varget I have laying around. Should I seat the bullets into the lands with a light load or just seat them to standard. I plan to load the minimum charge, is that enough? Never done...

    Rifle Scopes height of Weaver Picatinny rail

    Anybody Know the height of this rail? I want to use this rail with Burris XTR rings on my 5r until I can swing a Seekins setup. The scope is a Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x50. I have searched, but can't find the dimensions. Just need to figure out what height rings so I can place my order and start...

    Remington 700 extractor question

    How often do these fail? I am having trouble with my 5r and after doing some internet research it seems they do fail often enough to become a hassle. Mine has the riveted style so I was thinking of getting the tools to do the job myself or even do the Sako style conversion but wanted to hear...

    Rifle Scopes need a scope base

    I just got a Remington 5R in 300 WM and am now looking at scope bases. My first question is how important is a recoil lug on a scope base? I have been looking at LaRue's base, but it doesn't look like it has one. Any other suggestions appreciated.
