I've got a B&C Alaskan Ti stock and my front sling stud isn't as tight as I'd like. Anyone recommend an epoxy/glue to secure the stud to the stock?

Anyone use the Competetion Electronics ProChrono? Any issues reading the screen from 10 ft away? It looks like the highest rated chrono for the price on Midway. I really like the IR remote as well.

I'm considering having my Remington 700 SA bolt skeletonized to reduce weight as much as possible without compromising integrity. Off the top of my head I'm thinking about fluting, milled bolt handle, alum bolt knob. Anyone know how much weight can reasonably be expected? As a comparison the...

I've got a Kleen Bore cleaning rod for my 308. I use a jag and cotton patches with a bore guide. I'm not sure if the "fit" is tight enough. The rod doesn't spin but maybe 20 deg through the entire cleaning process. Barrel is 1:11.25 twist. The rod spins freely when spun. Is this normal...

I'm trying to protect the sill area of my rear bumper from getting scratched by my dog. I currently have a brushed aluminum plate secured by 3M tape, but debris builds up underneath and makes cleaning a PITA. Also, its smooth so my dog's nails slide right off and dig into the bumper. Ideally...

So I purchased my first bolt rifle hoping to have a multi purpose hunting/long range weapon. I purchased a Rem 700 VTR 5R in 308. After putting a chassis system on it I loved everything about it. That is until I hunted with it (new to hunting). This thing is a beast to carry. I've made up...

Here in TX there are a lot of exotics available for hunting. Red deer is some of my favorite meat so I'm wondering if anyone knows of a red deer call.

I'm rethinking my current 308 setup and need to do some serious lightening for hunting. I've been looking at several of the light hunting stocks, but had a question for you. How come even the stocks marketed as lightweight hunting stocks are still relatively "long". As far as I look at it the...

I'm currently lugging around a folding chassis system for hunting. Way way too freaking heavy. Looking at switching out the stock for a lightweight hunter stock. Right now I'm looking at H-S and Manners lightweight options. The kicker is that I need to break down the rifle to fit it into my...

I'm still new to reloading. I'm currently using the Lee Aniversary turret press kit with the RCBS competition die set. When loading 308 rounds I notice my OAL can vary drastically. Without adjusting the die my OAL can vary from 2.070 to 2.150. This is all while using the same powder charge...

I've seen the monster case thread and really liked some of the setups. I was thinking of picking up a Pelican 1700 for my McRees folder, but would need 4 foam layers to make it work. I will be cutting 2 of the layers to make it fit. I contacted Pelican and they said that the 1700 ships with 3...

I don't think the brake that came with my VTR is doing anything. I'm thinking of cutting it off and threading it 5/8-24 for a real brake. Has anyone done this? Pictures? Thanks.

I've got a different question for you guys. I have a slight astigmatism in both of my eyes. I'm "newish" to magnified optics, but have used my Aimpoint ML3 on my AR extensively and have had to deal with the "flare" due to my astigmatism. I currently have a 3-10x Weaver Grand Slam and...

My buddy and I are planning to hunt elk in CO this October. I currently have a 3-10x Weaver Grand Slam, but am worried that this isn't sufficient to hunt to 500 yds let alone 800 yds. I was looking at the NF 5.5-20 NXS or 3.5-15 F1. The 5.5-20 has a FOV of 17.5 ft and 4.7 ft at 5.5x and 22x...

When I rack a round on my ar I get a very small primer dimple. My buddy is an m4 armorer and said it shouldn't do this but its done it since I got it brand new. The bolt is made by rra.

I snagged the last McRees holiday special. Scott is a stand up guy and really knows his product. Every single part is 100% American made. This will support my Rem VTR 5R 308. Now all I need is a bipod and I'm all set.

I'm getting ready to order the Weaver Grand Slam from Midway. This will be going on my not yet ordered SPS Tac, VTR 5R, LTR, or similar in 308. I just want to make sure I'm ordering everything I need. The Weaver is all that my budget will allow at this time. EGW 1 piece picatinny 20 MOA base...

Newbie here. I've been shooting AR15s for quite some time and my buddy has finally convinced me to get a bolt gun (taking me hunting with his .257 sealed the deal). I'm looking at something that has the capability of reaching out to the 600+ range. Since I will be using this for hunting...

The first time I went hunting I used a black Camelbak Lobo to carry water and some other minor supplies. It was way too small and really stood out. I've since been looking at picking up the Camelbak Stiker in AP. However, having a backpack dedicated to hunting seems sort of stupid so I've...
