    trimming width of barrel

    I have a buddy who is building an AR-10 in 6mm CM. He purchased a Bartlien M24 5R barrel. He then shaved the width down to 1 inch on a lathe. He also cut the length to 23 inches. He is telling me that the receivers for the AR10 are 1" connections so he decided to take it all the way down the...

    what travel case do you use for your precision rifle?

    After participating in the GAP Grind I am thinking I may start entering more events. I was able to drive to K&M but a lot of the good competitions are going to require air travel. Having said all that what cases do you guys use to protect your rifles on these journeys?

    Manners bottom metal question

    I have been researching stocks and bottom metals to go with them and I have grown fond of the Manners stocks. I noticed in the options to order on their website that there is no up charge for for the Badger M5 DBM, Seekins DBM, Surgeon DBM plus many others. However I noticed that many people on...

    Which bullet?

    I have been wondering which bullet, caliber, weight that professional or top rated competition shooters prefer. I know there are a few different calibers used in competition and I am wondering why a competitor picks one over the other.

    Need help with jamming in barrel

    I recently had a 223 wylde precision upper made for an AR. I currently use a KAC SR-15 and my Seirra HPBT 77 loads work perfectly in the KAC but get stuck in the new upper. I went back to people who built it and they said it's my reloads. I have never had this problem before. The COAL is the...

    I have been buying products of all kinds over the last 40+ years and of course occasionally have had to deal with customer service. Whether it's a TV, refrigerator, Golf club or scope the headaches of shipping things back to a company, waiting forever to get a replacement and maybe even not...

    Rifle Scopes Seekings 6/4 or 4/4

    I am in the market for rings for a new scope for a .308 rifle and I have settled in on Seekins. What I don't know is the difference in benefits between the 6/4 or the 4/4 cap screw models and how they are supposed to be installed. IE, 6/4 furthest from the shooter or the muzzle?

    Directory of gunsmiths we trust

    After reading the long thread about tacticalrifles.net it got me thinking that a list of good trustworthy gunsmiths or custom rifle builders in your states or cities would be really helpful. My first Bolt gun purchase was a pre-owned rifle that turned out to be a piece of crap that I got at a...

    barrel length for suppressor

    I am not sure if this is the correct forum but I'll ask anyway. I have decided to upgrade the barrel on my Remington 700 build to a Bartlein .30 1:10 M24 r5. My original AAC-SD barrel was 20 inches and I only shoot it suppressed. Since I am doing this new barrel I can have it all the way up to...

    What is the optimal Zero range for precision rifle?

    I have been searching the forums but I can't find the topic: I have always used a 100 yard zero on my rifles in the past but since I started shooting long range (500-1100 yards) I have been told by a few really good shooters that a 50-200 or 36-300 zero would be better for more accuracy. I...

    variable scope question for a newbie

    I was talking to a guy at the range who was saying something about variable scopes only being "Mil correct" at a specific magnification power. How do you know what that is on a Leupold or Bushnell etc. scope?

    for .308 Winchester 1000 yard 168 or 175 grain and why?

    I am not sure if this is the right forum for this question but I will ask. I shoot a Remington 700 SPS AAC-SD. It has a 20 inch barrel and 1:10 twist. I shoot it suppressed. Currently I load a 175 Sierra HPBT with 43.5 varget and I use Federal match primers. I am getting 2535 Fps with this...

    can't figure out what is wrong with new build

    I recently built a .308 rifle with a Remmington 700 sps AAC-sd action and barrel, an AI stock and Jewell trigger. I put a Leupold Mark 4 sight on it and a Quicksilver .308 suppressor. OK here's the problem: after about 40 rounds on 3 different range sessions the gun starts to lose zero to the...

    Rifle Scopes What makes a rail better or worse?

    I have a Leupold rail on my Remington 700. I was at the store and I noticed the Millet rail for the same scope mount was $50 and I paid $120 for mine. I got to wondering "it's a piece of aircraft grade aluminum. It doesn't have any moving parts or sliding function. It's gets locked down on the...
