    Thinking of finally making the jump from M14 type to AR10 type, need advice

    Hi, I recently took a "DMR" class with an M14 (LRB semi-auto). In the class I was shooting under 2 MOA with occasional 1 to 1.5 MOA 5 shot groups at 100 yards. That's about what I expected from the gun since it just has a standard profile 18.5" chrome lined barrel and a GI fiberglass stock...

    Hi, I'm taking a precision rifle class and as part of the class need to make a hide and attempt to evade detection. We are setting up to hit a target that will be 100-600 yards away depending on where we choose to make the hide. Basically the area I have to hide in looks like this: except...

    Is a detachable magazine worth the increase in weight on a precision/hunting rifle?

    Hi, I have a Remington 700 police LTR w/ a Leupold Mark IV 4.5-14x scope. It currently weights 9 lbs 7 oz without suppressor and bipod. It averages about 1 MOA at 100 yards with me shooting 175 FGMM through it. I am considering sending the rifle to GA Precision to have it fiberglass...

    Gunsmithing Need a Pro Fiberglass Stock Refinisher/Painter

    Hi, I have an old M14 USGI fiberglass stock that is a little beat up finish wise and would like to have it repainted solid black along with the handguard. I am terrible at painting plus I live in an apartment and don't really have a good location for it. Can anyone recommend a...

    After class with 700P LTR, need upgrade opinions

    Hi, Just finished an intro precision rifle class with my stock 700P LTR. The only mod I made prior to the class was having the barrel threaded and installing a Smith Enterprise USCG muzzle brake. I was pleased with the rifle for the most part, shooting slightly less than an inch at 100 yards...

    Rain gear and backpack question

    Hi, I'm new to long range shooting so go easy I just took my first precision rifle class, shooting out to 1000 yards and had reasonable success. I received a "qual" on the course of fire out to 600 on stationary targets and 1 mph movers. Anyway, I didn't have a real shooting pack for the...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4 ER/T 4.5-14x50mm M5 opinions?

    Hi, I'm very close to buying this scope to put atop a Remington 700P LTR 20" .308 on a badger ordnance 20 MOA base. I just purchased the rifle today. It's the scope seen HERE with a mil dot reticle (110081). Primarily I will use this rifle for medium to long range target shooting from 50...

    Rifle Scopes Scope moves under recoil: SWFA SS 10x42 &SS Rings

    Hi, First off I'm a total novice. This is the first time I've ever tried to mount a scope so I probably did something dumb. I have an LRB M14 that I've attempted to mount a Super Sniper 10x42 scope on. I bought some Super Sniper "low" picatinny rings to go with it. The scope mount is a...

    Spotting < $400: Vortex Skyline vs. Konus 7120

    I shoot an M1A in high power and would like a spotting scope that can discern 7.62 holes out to 500 yards in daylight. Most of my shooting is done inside of 200 though (due to range limitations). The Konus is less than half the prices of the Vortex, but gets good reviews from what I've read...

    Guilt over buying a rifle with an H-S precision?

    I apologize if this is an inappropriate topic, but just wanted some opinions. I'm considering a Remington 700p but am hesitant because it has an HS precision stock. I'm new to precision shooting but I recently read that there was some controversy over their advertisement in which they flaunted...

    Savage 10fp vs Remington 700 police

    I realize this is a common question, and these are probably the two most common precision rifles on the market, but i figured I'd ask anyway. I've searched this and other forums looking for opinions, and it all seems to be split about 50/50. Anyway, I currently have an M1A and have gotten...
