    .375 Ruger Savage 110 Brush Optic Choice

    May leave it express iron sites but wanted opinions on reddot sights that make for quick acquisition but a dot small enough to get out to 250 meters. Leupold RDS?

    To the tick turds that keep hoarding the .22 lr stores, I will be laughing hard

    When they are stuck with a 10x life time supply and the market adjusts. Enjoy, only have two more commemorative NASCAR boxes left but that should get me thru.

    Any word on 162 amax? Got to be a very popular bullet for the7mm crowd, my

    Supply is running low and am at a loss as to why it got suspended. Yes, I read the explanation and have no issue with the balance of the suspensions. But that is one of their signature products.

    As a long time gun enthusiast, I was about 3 when my dad first taught me to use a lever

    Action .22, with help of course, picked up cans all over town to buy a Remington speedmaster.22 when I was 7, again with dads help, built CVA Muzzle Loader Kits in middle school, and mowed lawns to buy my first SAVAGE 30-06 for $135 bucks in that same time frame. Since then a have bought and...

    Obviously the main benefit to a custom action is it was built concentric, but

    I am beginning to think the integral scope rail is a must have. I have had a rash of scope rails come lose lately at the range and that pisses me off.

    Rifle Scopes Do I really need a 20 Moa base for a 7mm rm pushing 180 vld's at 2800 fps, I have 36 mils

    Of adjustment?

    Just wrapped up my new baby in the old 7mm RM, love the XLR Chassis

    Savage Long Action 7mm Rem Mag Barrel and brake work done by Dan Wynne of McGowen, 28 in 1-8 twist and a Ross Shuler Break. Black Ceracoat done by Middle Tennesse Gunsmithing out of Springfield, TN. XLR Chassis (love it) and a SSHD 5x20 Scope. First gun I subcontracted all the work done/ or did...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Tristar L120, a CZ 75b clone, must say the CZs are in short supply so I took a chance.

    Happy so far, it is light, points naturally, and fits me well. It came down to it or a Sig 2022, and the fit and feel went to the knock off much to the chagrin of the gun store folks. I was after a cz sp01 but was having no luck. Wanted something for tactical and other pistol matches...

    So what are the hangups for the 7x57 for a

    tactical rifle? The long action gives you plenty of room to seat the bullet on out and you have a pretty nice jump in powder capacity from a 7mm-08(which you can't seat as far out already in a SA) Don't ever hear it mentioned, was just wondering. Shame to pass up on all those ultra high BC...

    Savage build in the Good Old 7mm Rem Mag, need

    help on barrel twist, looking at Seirra and Bergers offering at the 180 grain level, they recommend a 1 in 8, though Berger says 1 in 9 but I swear both were 1-8 a month ago. Any opinions on 1-8 or 1-9? Will go with a Varmint Contour but was thinking about getting it fluted? Mostly for looks...

    Short of the advent of rifling, the cartridge,

    And smokeless powder, has there ever been a greater era to be a rifleman. Advances since 2000 are amazing. Optics have made a gigantic leap, stocks/chassis have made a huge leap, actions especially custom have made a huge leap, a move from bottom metal to the DBM seemed obvious but it finally...

    Movie Theater Expendables II

    Not remotely realistic, no chance at an Oscar, but absurdly entertaining. As much comedy as action, cliched as hell, but enjoyed it.

    Barrel Life, what effects it more,

    Velocity or Powder Charge? In my case I have gathered all the parts to build a .300 RUM except for the XLR chassis I am saving for. So for example,if I load a 230 Berger with an amazing BC of .743 by the way, to say around 2800 FPS, will that give me an appreciably longer barrel life than a...

    Gunsmithing Savage/Stevens Question, having been dense

    thinking that I needed to buy a .300RUM Actioned Savage/Steven for my next project it donned on me. Savage LA's all seem to be the same distance between the screws. So that lends me to ask, what changes would I need to make to a Savage/Stevens .300 Winchester to go to the RUM? Bolt size, will...

    Movie Theater "Age of Heroes" was a pretty good flick for what

    it is. Summary is basically: "The true story of the formation of Ian Fleming's 30 Commando unit, a precursor for the elite forces in the U.K." Was like an old school War movie similars to "Where Eagles Dare". If you are looking for a good war flick, give it a try. I found it at Redbox.

    First Time out with new DPMS LR308,

    Had a lot of jams and one failure to extract, but there were extraction marks on the case. I was using 168 Grain Amax with LC Brass, same loads I use with my bolt gun. It was bending the ballistic tip in some cases in the jams, should I look at going to an FMGBT or HPBT? Is there something I...

    Stock Pack for DPMS A2 Stock

    I have looked at several sites but do not see anything that would not get in the way when cocking. Any ideas? Any AR-10 driven stock packs?

    Two part question, I have a custom built .308

    coming in sometime in December on an AI chassis. But want to build my own Magnum option for windy days. I already have 7mm Rem Mag Dies for my hunting rifle so I am thinking of going that route but also tend to think a 300 win mag will give me a decent advantage over the 7. What do you guys...
