    Light primer strikes

    I have a Remington 700 5R .223 I just acquired a few weeks ago. I've gotten 1 or 2 light primer strikes out of about 100 rounds of normal 55gr and 69gr match ammo, but I have about 50% light primer strikes using Southwest Ammunition's 55gr subsonics. What could be the problem? Is it bolt...

    Mirage cover + low scope rings??

    I got the new TAB SAS Mirage cover on my .223 suppressor today and found that if I'm looking through the scope I can actually see the lining of the mirage cover through the scope pretty much through the entire mag range (except at 13x or above). Does anyone else have this problem? I don't...

    Realistic accuracy of a Savage MK II Camo?

    I can't seem to get good groups out of it...it's not a bull barrel but it shouldn't matter since 22LR isn't exactly a hot round. I'm shooting mini mags and I've only been able to get about 1" at 25yd. Should I try some match ammo to see if it improves? It's completely stock except for a Prostaff...

    >500yd range within hours drive of Lafayette LA?

    I go there for business quite often- are there any public or private ranges out there that has steel over 500yd? I drive from Dallas TX so anywhere in the middle is fair game.

    Does such a factory rifle exist?

    I'm looking to get a .223 trainer rifle from the factory- there is no point in spending the money for a custom action when I only need to go out 400-500yd max. My want list: ~18-22" barrel Threaded for muzzle device (I have a spare suppressor I'd like to attach) bedded OR free floated...

    Recommend me a good rangefinder!

    Looking to get a LRF for mainly target shooting (steel and paper) out to 1400-1500yd. Must haves: 1. True yardage accounting for angle compensation. If range is 550yd and looking down 30 degrees the output number should compensate for that angle. 2a. Glass clarity 2b. Long range with good...

    Recommend me a long range spotting scope on a budget

    Quick and to the point in order of priority: 1. Good glass- need to spot 6.5mm rounds on paper at 300yd, trace out to 1000+ 2. Price - Under $1k if possible, if not what's the closes to $1k 3. Build quality - Sturdy 4. Brand name - who cares as long as I can see what I'm shooting at. I...

    Hi guys, I'm just starting to get into reloading and trying to find a good load- my question is now that I have my case length properly adjusted, I want to find a good COAL for my gun. For you 6.5CM shooters out there, how much jump are you allowing? Is there a reference number I should start...

    Problem extracting certain factory match ammo

    I have a Remington 700 Varmint that has trouble extracting certain brass, namely the Lake City 308 brass used by USA Ammo's 175gr Match rounds. Sometimes it would get stuck so good that I'd have to close and open the bolt 5-10 times before finally coming out. Inspecting the round later shows no...

    Range Report German DAG Surplus 308 bullets

    I just got the Droid "Shooter" program and finished entering all my bullet info, except for my German 308 DAG cartridges. Does anyone have the bullet coefficient and FPS for these, or do they vary too much to be really useful? I want to use it to determine wind drift, mainly.

    Range Report Anyone use USA Ammo?

    I'm not sure if I placed this in the correct section, so please move if necessary. I am looking to buy some match/practice ammo and have been scouring the usual ammo sites. I've come across www.usaammo.com and saw that they have 175gr match .308 ammo. They don't say what kind of bullets but...

    Looking for a particular type of rifle case...

    Hi guys, I was watching Magpul Dynamic's Art of the Tactical Carbine and Chris Costa was talking about cases to store and transport rifles. He never mentioned the name or manufactuerer of the case, I was wondering if you all could help. Double rifle soft case, he used it to store 2 AR-15's...

    Rifle Scopes Best budget mil/mil scope?

    Hi guys, before everyone says search the forums or "BUSHNELL 3200 10x40 MIL MIL", I'd like to point out I have searched and searched, and apparently Bushnell is getting rid of all the 3200 and 4200 line and it's impossible to find the mil mil version of the 3200. I've read reviews of the Millett...

    Hi guys, After reading endless reviews of scopes, I decided to go with an SWFA 10x42HD. It seemed to me like the best bang for the buck for my applications and upon receiving it I was immediately impressed by the build quality and the heft of the scope. After messing around with it a little...

    Help! Scope too low for AICS 700

    Hi guys, new here. I have a Nikon 4-12x40 Prostaff on my 700 before I upgraded from the original stock to the AICS 1.5 stock. Now the scope sits too low. Can someone recommend me rings that are high enough for this particular setup, or must I get a new 50mm obj scope?
