    Methods of payment for classified items

    I've got a scope for sale in the classifieds, and was just curious what people think is the most secure manner (on both sides) for payment. I've posted up numerous items in the past, but typically sold face to face. obviously the market is much larger if you're willing to ship. I would just like...

    Rifle Scopes swarovski Z6 zero stop

    Does anyone know if the zero stop can be modified (or removed) on this swaro Z6? I like the scope for a lot of reasons, but with the zero stop in place, you're limited to somewhere around 13 MOA of available usage. The scope has 100 MOA of total MOA travel, I would like to see if there is a work...

    VARIOUS GAP RIFLES for sale?

    just to solve my curiosity... if GAP rifles are so accurate/good...why are there always so many for sale? Is it just a "trading up" issue, or is there something I'm missing? From what I've seen here, it seems like they shoot well enough, but there are always quite a few in the classifieds for sale.

    223 factory rifle - barrel twist

    Do most of the factory rifles chambered in 223 have a fast enough twist to stabilize 60 grain bullets? I'm looking into a small (remington model 7 or similar) type rifle for my son to shoot, but want to make sure the factory barrels will shoot 60 grain bullets (nosler partition, barnes triple...

    Fliers....

    It seems like I shoot one flier in about 99% of my groups... always low and slightly to the left. I'm a right handed shooter... It's driving me nuts. I shot 3 groups at 300 yards, and what would have been groups between 1.7" and 1.8" were opened up to 2.5" and 2.85". It happens at 100 yards...

    Just got back from the range and it seems this scope is not adjusting properly. it is a mark 4 4.5-14. at 100 yards, in order to get the target in focus, there is a very narrow range on the parallax knob that will get the target clear... like narrow enough where it's a royal pain in the ass to...

    Any major benefits from aftermarket stocks?

    I have been shooting my LTR for a month or so, and wondering about possibly slapping a new stock on it. What I'm wondering is... I like the standard stock OK... the rifle shoots well. I would hate to spend $500-$800 on a stock to find out there's no real advantage. the LTR has a bedding block...
