    Is 30 MOA rail too much?

    I just bought a Bighorn TL2 long action that I am going to build a 7mm Rem Mag on. It did not come with a scope rail so after talking to Bighorn Arms, all they have available is a 30MOA scope rail. I am going to put a nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 Mil/Mil scope on it, but I'm worried that the 30MOA...

    WWII Japanese Sniper Scope**Pics Up**

    Which chamber for 40XB

    Im looking for suggestions on what chamber to get for my 40XB build. This rifle will be used as a trainer, but my main concern is accuracy for my local steel silouhette shoots. I have read that certain chambers are tight and hard on certain types of ammo. I will most likely be shooting Eley...

    Who has a Rock Creek Rimfire Barrel

    I just ordered my barrel from Rock Creek last week. Its going on my 40xb. Remington varmint contour. Apparently they are putting 5r cut rifling in these.

    Badger FTE vs APA Fat Bastard

    Been thinking about threading my muzzle for a brake. My 308 doesnt recoil much but i like the look of a brake and less recoil is always a plus. I have no experience with muzzle brakes but like the way these two look. I have also heard good things about both. Anyone here used both? Which one was...

    Kimber Model 82 G...Anybody?

    Anyone have one of these Kimber model 82 government model rifles? I have seen some on gunbroker and they are drawing my interest as a trainer rifle. They have the iron sights and a big benchrest stock, but does anyone make aftermarket stocks for them? How do they compare to a Winchester 52 or a 40X?
