    Back in the saddle from MD

    Received the newsletter and came back to the old site! I lost interest after the site move for various reasons but am glad to see things percolating here. Hoping to get into the paid subscription space after a while and improve my game. Currently I'm shooting a 700 5R in a McRees chassis and a...

    Failure to feed - AI magazine, McRees Precision Chassis, R700

    I resized and loaded some snap caps out of a stack of Remington brass I had for my .308. I used Sierra 150 HPBT pressed to the same COAL as the normal 175s I use. They are shallow but they hold enough for a snap cap. COAL is 2.806 +/- .002. No failures to extract, tight chamber or any other...

    Maggie’s P.K. Schreiber RIP

    This is the forum I visit most often that includes active duty military. I am posting this here out of respect for a fine man and a hell of a Marine. In another thread a former Marine mentioned his dates of service and locations so I went back though my float books to see who he might be. In...

    Sling Swivels

    So I'm getting the details sorted for my budget 700 on a new Mcree stock and I need swivels. Are there any quality differences between something like the Mcrees at $27, Uncle Mikes at $18, VLTOR at $15 and UTG at $9? Thanks P.S. Mcrees Precision was fantastic to work with. I wish their online...

    Youth stock for Savage MK II?

    So my training rig is a 22lr Savage MKII BTV and it works fine. Not my favorite but fine. I run a SWFA SS 20x42 on it (but I'd like to trade that at some point for a 10x42 since 20x is too much for LR training at 50-100 yards). I haven't taken the stock off at all yet but since my eldest...

    Remington 700 HS Precision Stock - 5R

    I have a .308 5R SA with the HS Precision BDL stock that I just can't get to fit right. A guy I know has a 700 SA ADL with a varmint profile barrel also in .308. He's interested in buying it but we're not sure if my stock will fit his rifle. Without actually test fitting it, does anyone know if...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24x50 FFP Personal Experiences

    Lurker coming out of the shadows here. So I'm just getting into tactical competitions and have an astigmatism that makes milling targets really tough. I have been looking at a Nightforce SFP (5.5-22) and Leupold ER/T (6.5-20) but my budget just blew a gasket so I now need to stay in the 1K...

    Advanced Marksmanship Hunter Competition Info?

    I've got a .308 Rem 700 SPS Tactical with a 20" barrel. I have an old Bausch and Lomb 4200 Elite scope and pivoting bipod. I use no sand bags or any other supports but the bipod. I started reloading at the beginning of summer 09 after many years away from the long gun trigger. Served infantry...
