    Anyone using bibs from Cabela's or Bass pro? I am considering the Cabela's Dry-Plus 10-point Bibs or Bass Pro's Onyx ArcticShield Performance Fit Bibs It gets really cold where I am. -30 with wind on a cold day, or if one is lucky, -15 on bright sunny afternoon. So I need something warm...

    "Discreet Case"= Same product? Galati, US Peacekeeper, Blackhawk, Tac Force???

    Due to another recent thread, I've started looking at cases again. I'm looking for a rectangular case without MOLLE all over the outside. After watching some video reviews and looking at websites I've noticed that the 'Discreet' style cases meet my needs and they all look identical across...

    Rifle Scopes Bikini (50mm NF Style) cover for 40mm scope? What and where?

    Bought my first Leupold today. AR Mod 1 4-15x 40mm AO. Scope has nice features for the price point- but no scope covers? WTF Leupold? Not a fan of Butler Creek. What are my options for bikini covers- like what the NF NXS' come with?

    Tripod Shooting- Saddles vs Clamps

    With the new PIG saddle out, I'm curious to try a clamp style saddle with my tripod. Currently I am using the PRS saddle and have been quite pleased. What I like about it is I can quickly change positions. I can easily tilt the rifle up or down and still have support. I can also have some...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce: Make Lower Rings!

    With a 32mm scope and now a 42mm finally out, I hope Nightforce starts making 'extra' low rings. Their Ultralights tend to be my first choice when ring shopping, but the lows could be lower- The 50mm NXS in lows on their 20moa rail already floats well above a Sendero contour. The 42mm will offer...

    How to tell incomplete powder burn?

    Other than seeing a flame, is there anyway to know if all the powder is being burnt up in a barrel? I'm thinking for 16"-18" barreled 308s. No point in working up loads if not all the powder will be burnt in the barrel (?)

    CZ 453 Varmint .22 Advice for Ring and Rail?

    Well, I though it would be a 452 American, but in my endless and frustrating search for discontinued CZs I was lucky enough to find a 453 Varmint- I get old school CZ accuracy, two action screws, and the heavy barrel! I never dreamed I would find one of these rifle's new in stock. The seller...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold MK AR MOD 1 4-12x40mm P5 AO for a Rimfire?

    I am considering the Leupold Mark AR MOD 1 4-12x40mm P5 Dial with Adjustable Objective and Mil Dot Reticle for a CZ 452. It has the features I am looking for: Mildot and mil turrets, adjustable objective (although I would prefer side option), and magnification range. Since it is going on a...

    Anybody cut down their CZ 452

    I was planning on cutting down a CZ 452 to 18" to better replicate my primary rifle. I didn't think much of it, but I've since been told they are 'choked.' After some searching on the internet I've learned that no one actually agrees if they are choked or not. So has anyone cut down the...

    Rifle Scopes Swarovski rifle scopes- What are peoples' thoughts about durability?

    I know Swarovski rifle scopes do not have the features (mil/mil, ranging reticles, etc.) typically associated with scopes used by the members here and that probably explains why they are not often discussed (?). Members here do put a priority on durability of scopes and this is my question...

    308 Subsonic Loading: Final word on lubing bullets?

    Has there been any new developments/ experiences with lubing bullets? I cannot find any consistent answers on the need to lube. While people seem to agree that 180 to 220gr Sierra or Hornady flat based round nose bullets make the best choices, they are at odds on whether lubing these bullets is...

    Trail Boss and 308 Subsonic Loading

    I've been reading up on hand loading .308 win subsonic ammunition. Easy enough to check if a bullet is still lodged in the barrel, but SEE is a bit more intimidating... My understanding is that SEE is caused by too little powder in the case (<30%) which causes improper ignition and disastrous...

    Rifle Scopes Are all 8-40 rails same screw space spec?

    My current rifle's receiver is drilled for the 8-40 Nightforce rail. If I order a Seekins 8-40, will I be able to screw it on? Is the spacing on 8-40 rails standard?

    Magpul Polymer MOE Rail Pieces - Wear and Tear Rating?

    I'm considering using one to mount a light to the 870 MOE forend. I'm concerned the polymer may not stand up to continued use. The light will be on and off frequently. Plus, the 870 has more recoil than an AR. What's everyone's experiences/ thoughts?

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 32mm

    I was at an Outdoor Equipment Exhibition today and Vortex had a booth set up. The Rep was a very friendly and knowledgeable guy. He saw me playing with 1-4 and 1-6's and came over to chat. I must admit: I don't really follow Vortex. I am familiar with the Razor's reputation and have handled a...

    Not planning on buying one, but I came across the GPS Rifle today and was curious about two things listed: - Replace action screws with larger, hardened steel, extruded screws - Increase magazine capacity from 4 to 5 cartridges, clear box magazine from feed ramp The screws look to be torx. I...

    Bad primers or something else?

    I was out today shooting in the freezing rain. Out of fifty rounds, forty-five were fine, but five did not fire. Other than these five today, the rifle has about five hundred rounds of the same reloads through it without issue. Makes these five seem suspicious. Rifle is a Remington 700 with a...

    Gunsmithing Help modify (smooth out) a McMillan stock

    I have a Rem Varmint Edge stock on the way. I'm not very keen on the handle or forearm checkering, but the price to have it removed at the factory was a little more than I was willing to pay for the luxury. I'm now thinking of asking to have the stock shipped without paint and then filling in...

    Gunsmithing Recessed Crowns: Too much of a good thing?

    What are the thoughts on recessed crowns? I assume the USMC spec is somewhat of a standard, but then I've also seen some really deep crowns too. TacOps rifles, for example. Deeper may offer more protection, but is there a point it becomes detrimental to accuracy? Is there an ideal depth?

    Rifle Scopes NF 32mm Compact vs VXR Patrol?

    I like Nightforce. Money isn't as issue, although I don't want to spend money for no reason. I like the NF because of the quality I've come to expect from NF. I like the 2.5x on the low end for hunting. I like Mil reticle and turrets as it will compliment my F1. I like that the whole reticle...
