    Straping Rifle to a Rest

    Looking to do some shooting off of a rest like the Hyskore Dangerous Game Rifle Shooting Rest where you use a hydraulic device to pull the trigger and the rest absorbs the recoil.

    Aperture Sights Tikka T3

    Was thinking of buying a Swedish CG63 to try some shooting with aperture sights. But I got to thinking and wondered if I could just put some aperture sights on my Tikka T3 6.5x55? I know that the Tikka T3 I have is very accurate with a scope. Did a search and found this Tikka T3 6.5 HPR...

    Gunsmithing Cutting Out Barrel Throat Erosion Breech End

    Listening to Gun Talk and Tom said that if you have a barrel with throat erosion, you can extend the life by removing the barrel, cutting out the throat erosion (from the breech end) thread the barrel and reinstall. Does this actually work? Is it cost effective if you have a smith do it?

    Eye Focused On Front Sight Pin

    I have a problem of my eye focusing on the front sight pin. I am thinking its from some projects I have been working on but not sure. I have been working on making a peep sight. It was made from a .32 cal case with the head cut off. With the peep sight I could see the target well enough to...

    Judging Rifle, Judging Shooter, Accuracy

    'Best' Iron Sights Shooter

    Is there such a rifle that is preferred or user friendly for shooting with iron sights? Or is it just up to the eyes of the beholder? Is it true that the longer the sight radius helps with accuracy?
