    Two stage trigger, any draw backs?

    If I like the feel of a two stage trigger, would there be any drawbacks to going with one? Any adverse effects that I'm over looking? Is a two stage in any way less reliable? Basically, is the only difference between a single and two stage just feel and preference? When ever I do a search for...

    Maggie’s a generation of self-entitled people keep knocking

    Knock after knock today, I keep answering the door, always expecting to find a friend, family member or at least a person of importance wishing to communicate with me, but to no prevail it is always the same thing. An entire generation of them. They walk around trying to make you bend to their...

    15 MOA base for Remington 700?

    The 20 MOA base I have pretty much bottoms out my Accupoint at 100 yards. I was thinking about running a 15 MOA to buy myself a little wiggle room if I can find a quality mount in 15 MOA. Does anyone know of one?

    Are all picitinny bases not up to MIL-1913 spec?

    I have a FN PBR with a 20 moa Near Mfg base on it and a 700 5r that I put a 20 moa Warne base on for the time being. I also have a Trijicon 5-20x50 Accupoint in the LaRue low QD rings that I was planning on using interchangeably between both rifles. The QD rings cam in pretty sung every time on...

    A place to try stocks?

    I've been thinking about a new stock and just can't come to a rational decision before actually feeling one up. I really like the look of the mcm a4 and a5 as well as the acis 1.5. The Manners T series don't look bad either. All I know at this point is that I do NOT like the Houge that I have. I...

    Easy way to verify a 5R?

    I found what looks to be a used 5R in .308 with the 24" barrel for sale. They are not advertising it as a 5R and when I asked them if it had the 11.25 twist 5R rifling they seemed to have no idea what I was talking about. I couldn't find markings on the barrel other than the OE date code so it...

    Should I strip this rifle and use the receiver?

    I have an old 1968 Remington 700 adl in 6mm rem with a 329xxx serial number and the old style "bolt locking" safety sitting around that I got in a trade awhile back. It has an old Redfield 3x9 on it. I don't really have much use for a 700 adl in in 6mm so I was thinking about stripping the...

    Converting a push feed to a controlled feed?

    This might sound like something of a stupid question but here goes anyway. I have a FNH PBR, 18", .308 with the Winchester push feed style action. I read somewhere that the machining on the receiver for post-64 actions were pretty much the same for both the push feed and the controlled round...

    Rifle Scopes h2cmr reticle on a budget?

    I've pretty much fallen in love with the S&B h2cmr reticle . . . only problem is that I only have 1/4 to 1/3 of what I need to buy a S&B and I haven't seen much it in anything else really. Does anyone know of anything good that's a little more practically priced that would have a reticle close...

    FNH PBR Near base?

    I picked up a FNH PBR in .308 and it has the 1 piece Near base on it. Does anyone know if the factory bases on these rifles have a factory cant to them? I thought I remember hearing something about them being a 20 moa back in the day but now I can't remember or find any info on it. Also, does...

    Rifle Scopes Sneekins, Warne, LaRue or TPS? Bedding & lapping?

    I'm trashing the generic cheapo scope, rings and bases on my .300 wing mag Remington 700 5r and am looking to upgrade to a SWFA 10x. I was going to go with the Warne 20 moa base with the ultra low TPS rings as I was told that's as low as I can get with a 30mm tube and 20 moa. Then the thought...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite Tactical 5-15x40 for .300 mag

    For $350 I can get a Bushnell Tactical Elite 5-15x40. Is this going to stand up to long-term repeated use on a .300 win mag? I want to get started and I have the money for this but if it won't hold up I'd rather wait, save and get something that will. Are there better options? What would you...

    Remington 700 SPS AAC or is the 5r worth the extra

    One of my distributors just notified me that they have the Remington 700 SPS Tactical AAC in stock again for about $540. None of my wholesalers carry the 5r so I would have to shell out over $1000. I'm not overly crazy about the stock on either but at least the 5r stock would get me by until I...

    Just when I thought I had my mind made up!

    Hello guys, long time reader on the forums but this is my first post. Long story short, I spent my 4 years in the Marines as a grunt kicking in doors with a couple tours in Iraq. I feel I have some basic marksmanship skills but most of my experiance with rifles is in the AR platform in more of...
