    What Eberlestock pack accessories do u use?

    Getting ready to buy a Gunslinger 2 and I see a bunch of accessories that look tempting, however I don't want to spend cash on stuff that is just going to take up space and not get used. What accessories for your pack do you recommend and use the most? I am particularly tempted by the padded...

    Eberlestock Intex vs Endo

    Anyone with some hands on experience with both of these frames, especially in the GS2? I will be using it as a range bag and will probably take it hiking with significant weight and rifle once or twice a year. I have a chance to get a new GS2 from a guy at about $100 discount but it has the Endo...

    Rifle Scopes I'm so tired of Butler Creek

    I've had tens of pairs of regular BC flip caps and recently got a rubberized pair of the tactical live hinge caps. The regular caps are great until they break, sometimes in less than a month with little use and no abuse. The rubber ones probably won't be breaking anytime soon, but they suck so...

    At what velocity/energy DON'T I need AR steel?

    So it's always fun to get new targets, especially steel, but that stuff is expensive when you shoot AR 500. I want to know approximately how slow and/or how much energy bullet would need to have to safely hit mild steel and not damage the target. I'm sure it matters some, so, I am shooting a 260...

    DigiScoping Spotting Scope

    I have had a Celestron 90mm spotting scope in my shopping cart for some time. At $150 I cant imagine it will be that great even considering the good reviews on Optics Planet and Amazon. (My guess is that reviewers are no LR shooters) I want to get a spotter that I can DIY an iPhone mount to...

    Prone Shooting Glasses

    I've had some cheap sunglasses and some Oakley "Gascan" glasses that I've used out in the field but I have not been happy with them when shooting prone. I usually have some of the frame blocking out my sight picture. Anyone have any recommendations of glasses that ride a bit higher for shooting...

    Wrist angle while shooting prone

    I have an idea but wanted to verify here on the forum. My wrist angle as can be seen below is somewhat uncomfortable. I am a tall guy (6'5") and probably need to install a LOP kit on my buttstock. Is there some standard amount of angle that should be taking place or should the hand be parallel...

    Going Ackley Imp and not pushing it.

    I'm ignorant to the way this works, but would it make sense to rebarrel my 260 rem in its beefed up Ackley counterpart if I am after better velocity AND long case life? I recently backed off my pet load of 43.1gr H4350 down to 42.4gr because I could tell that my primers were taking much less...

    Gunsmithing What fasteners are on my Manners limbsaver?

    I came across the post below, but it is regarding the adjustable butt spacer system. The claim there is that the cap screws use a 5/32" Allen wrench but I can tell that is not fitting the bill. I tried the few around the 5/32 and didn't get a fit. I don't want to screw up the heads of whatever...

    Gunsmithing Getting Devcon locally?

    Am I likely to find Devcon putty at any of the box box stores or perhaps at a plumbing supply or other industry specific stores? Otherwise it's more of the waiting game from Midway.

    Why no aluminum block in some stocks?

    I just got a Manners T5 in and it's love at first grip. I knew there was no block before buying, and I know about the pricey mini chassis, but why don't some stock makers include an aluminum bedding block like came with my factory HS Prec or my old B&C? Is devcon really going to be as rigid as a...

    Busted Chrony or heat sensitive powder

    So I decided to rework the load recipe for my 260 Remington because I was starting to get relatively loose primer pockets after my third or fourth reloading. I put together an OCW test starting at 42.2 grains and ending at 43.0 grains in two grain increments. I chrono'd all of the shots and my...

    Why you need lemishine for SS tumbling

    Both were tumbled for 3 hrs. All else equal, I forgot to add lemishine to the drum with the left one. Getcha some lemishine.

    My SS setup + a question [VIDEO]

    http://youtu.be/dHYwBbDseAc [begin edit] My main question is what to use for a tumbling drum. I know it needs ridges or flats to stop the contents from sliding around the bottom of the drum. I'd like to use something readily available either new or on Craigslist/eBay etc. igloo cooler sounds...

    MAP Gas to anneal???

    Just got my Benchsource annealer and instantly wondered if there would be any benefit from using the hotter MAP gas (in the yellow bottles where I live). Any thoughts?
