It looks like Otis is pretty much a universally respected gun cleaning kit manufacturer. I'm thinking the Deluxe rifle/piston cleaning system FG211 for $58.47 is what I need, I was going to buy on ebay, but the price is the same buying direct from Otis. Any reason not to get the Deluxe R/P kit...

If you have a Vortex Viper PST FFP, and have mounted it on your rifle, what is the verdict? Yay or Nay? Buy or not buy? I have a NF NXS 5.5-22x56 Mil/Mil/HS/ZS on another rifle, and I am totally happy with it. That being said, I am thinking of getting a PST 6.5-24x50 MIL/Mil for my next...

On an unrelated topic, a comment was made that the more rounds you shoot, the more you should spend on your scope. I can agree with that philosophy to some degree. Not that cost, averaging plays a part, but if shooting is your sport, you owe it to yourself to get the best equipment you can...

I went to the gunshop today to pick up my new Rem. 700 SPS-V in .308. The Manager, sales person, and I all verified the serial number on the DROS paperwork, reciept, and rifle all matched. Even the box and owners manual had matching serial numbers and showed the caliber as .308. Just one...

Turners Outdoorsman has new .308 Rem 700 SPS Heavy BBl (.820) Varmint rifles on sale for $494. I think I will buy one after work today. This will be my entry into long range shooting. I have done a search on this forum, and there are no used rifles for sale as of last night. I have determined...

I'm building a 5.56 varmint/precision AR. I have JD Machine upper and lowers, and a free floated 24" ss fluted barrel. I will buy a Magpul PRS stock for it. I am researching triggers, and muzzle brakes. What trigger should I get? Should I have the bbl end threaded for a muzzle brake? What brake...

I want to start shooting precision/benchrest, so I'm doing research prior to buying a bolt action .308. I have a few questions to start off. What will give a longer service life, a SS or carbon steel bbl? Is fluting "worth" it? I tried to do a search on the SS bbl question but didn't have much...
