    Need further input. Mag pouches for AI style mags.

    Looked all over google and found nothing but a bunch of bad links. I'm looking for a mag pouch that can hold 2 AICS 308 10 round mags. I want something that is set up for MOLLE attachment. Any ideas, links or sources? Thanks.

    What is your "Go To" factory ammo?

    I typically shoot FGM 168g in .308. However it is a pain to find, and in a way seems wasteful when shooting for fun with friends in the woods. I am looking for alternative ammunition that can provide fairly consistent results out to 500 meters or so, but doesn't need to provide me with 1/2"...

    Leica 1000-R or 1600-B for my application?

    Hey all, I am interested in a quality rangefinder to be used for casual shooting/hunting. I typically don't shoot further than 300 yards, but sometimes out to 500. In the future I may shoot more/further, but who knows. I don't compete, or intend to, and while I like to shoot tight groups...

    Range Report Anyone have fps data on Federal Gold Metal .308 168g out of a 20" 1/10 barrel?

    I have a Rem 700 AAC-SD 20" in .308 and I'm trying to get my ballistics chart as accurate as possible. On the back of the Federal Gold Metal .308 in 168g box it says 2650 fps, but I'm not sure at what barrel length. Anyone have data from the AAC-SD?

    Hey all, Myself, along with what seems to be tons of others on the web, have been searching for colors that match the Crye MultiCam pattern. I just wanted to share my experience with you to hopefully save you some time on your paint project. First off, here's what my rifle ended up...

    New paint, bottom metal and trigger! All done at home.

    Painted with spray paint. Machined out the bottom of the stock for my new bottom metal using a dremel and metal files. Also had to drill out the old pillars and put in bigger ones. Filled in my sloppy edges with bondo. And installed my new Timney trigger. \ All in a days...

    Gunsmithing Inletting for an M5 bottom metal... In over my head?

    I have good basic mechanical skills, and access to lots of hand tools but no CNC or anything like that. I have a B&C M40 stock and want to install a M5 style (PT&G) BDM. Am I in over my head, or is this fairly straight forward?

    Citristrip review/warning

    So I have seen Citristrip suggested numerous times as a good way to get spray paint off of a rifle. I went ahead and used this product to strip my rifle/optics. While it did work well at removing the paint off of everything, it did some damage to soft plastic components on my scope. I have a...

    Need help selecting a kit

    Let me start by saying I do not currently reload. That said, my job is being transferred to New Zealand. I can bring along my rifle, and would really like to learn to reload (on my list of to do's anyway). However, EVERYTHING to do with shooting is 2-4x more expensive in NZ. (Basic Remington...

    Leica 1600-B right for me?

    (Edited: wrote this when I was falling asleep and it didn't make much sense.) Hey all, I am looking to purchase a rangefinder. My original budget was $500 but I could save for a while longer if it was worth doing. I am looking at the Leica 1600B as a higher-end option. A range-finder good...

    Please double check my math.

    Target is 12", and is represented as 1.1 mils in my scope. So ((.33 yards * 1000)/1.1 mils) = (330/1.1) = 300 yards? Is this correct?

    Ghillie design considerations help.

    I am wanting to construct my own ghillie suit for hunting. I have done quite a bit of reading and am curious about a few things. 1. I bow hunt, so I am thinking I should have coverage on the front as well as the back. Any thought? 2. Is this thing going to stink so bad it chases off game...
