    Reasons for you taking bolt-action over semi-auto?

    I'm a rather new shooter to precision shooting. I also lurk this site a lot. I'm trying to understand why one would want to take bolt-action over semi-automatic for a .308 WIN gun. For other calibers such as .338 lapua, .300 WSM, etc, it would be understandable. But for shooting under 1000...

    M14 craving - wanting to build the ultimate sub-moa M14.

    I have some stupid on and off relationship with the M14. It just looks beautiful, simplicity in its design. I decided to get over it and actually buy one custom made with sub-moa accuracy (for long range shooting). I have looked into a lot of details, but there aren't that many people who...

    Necessary equipment for the "first round hit".

    I've always wondered what the most perfect equipment would be for the bullet to perfectly strike a target in one hit from an unknown distance, unknown wind, and etc. It's very impressive for me to watch shooters get the first shot off on a target at 800+ yards and perfectly hit it. How would...

    Rifle Scopes Good "tactical" scopes for an AR-15? (1x mag to 6-8)

    The purpose of the AR is for home-defense/plinking. It's a LWRC M6A2 IC SPR. I searched using the forum search button, but couldn't find anything good for the past 4-5 pages. I also have an eotech on hand, but did not want to get the magnifier on top of it, as it's too heavy and has shitty...

    Good books for reloading, specifically .308 long range.

    Are there any must read books before I start reloading? I'm a beginner to this and I want to make sure I get everything right. I heard the lyman manual is a great place to start reloading. Any good forum posts + books you guys can recommend?

    Hornady 178 gr .308 for long range out of 20"+ barrel

    I'm currently looking into long range factory .308 bullets, and I'm specifically interested in the hornady 178 grain round. What type of bullets do you use out of a 20" or greater length barrel? I'm planning to use it in my future AI AXMC, and I really don't know that many precision/long...

    Buy once cry once for a new shooter?

    I'm a relatively new shooter, and I ordered a 3.5-15 NF F1 scope for my SCAR-17s, but I decided to go with a different optic (1.5-6x specterdr). I still have the NF scope on order, mainly because some friends are long range shooters, and I decided to go with a bolt, instead of using my scar for...

    Any new information on the AI AT rifles?

    I've been looking around the forums for some information, and I can't find much. I know that the AI AT has a different action and is based on the AI AW (not sure can someone confirm?). It also comes drastically cheaper (euro optics, it comes in at about $3.9k with a fixed stock, $4.2k with a...

    Does an AR-15's accuracy depend on the shooter?

    I got into an argument with a range buddy, and I'm here to ask you guys a question. I said that any non-custom precision AR-15 (colt, LWRC m6a2, rock river ar-15, PSA ar-15) with the same accessories (rail system, trigger, stock, etc) with different barrels (each to one's brand, lwrc, colt...

    Night Vision Any info on these?

    DBAL-PL | Lasers & Illuminators (Laser Devices | World-Class Lasers & Tactical Lights) They're basically IR/Laser/Light combo. One click on the right turns on laser/light combo (can't turn each on separately which sucks), and another turns on an IR laser/light combo (again, can't turn each...

    Atlas vs Harris

    New LR shooter, please bear with me. Whats the difference besides $$$? I heard atlas has the highest quality, and I've also heard a lot that harris bipods are good. Can anyone tell me primary difference between both brands?

    Rifle Scopes New member here. I have a question.

    Alright, I'm kinda scared of asking this question because of the possible flame, but I ordered a SCAR-17s (Going to take me a while to get it and make it NJ compliant). I want to get a NXS FFP 3.5-15x as my first scope. I like the concept of buy once, cry once, so I'm getting it. I have no...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns A sniper's "best" side-arm/weapon.

    What type of side-arm/weapon do you think a sniper would use? This is just a trivial thread, not a serious thread. I just want you guys to imagine a sniper's best sidearm. I would think that it would be a MK23, heavy and extremely accurate with 12 rounds of .45/suppressible. It's great at...

    How do I shoot?

    New member here, I ordered a SCAR-17s and really plan to get a nightforce nxs 3.5-15x scope (nothing is really stopping me from getting it, planning to order soon). I've shot recreational and now I want to get a bit into it. I have training with AR-15, and I'm not bad of a shot (steel plates at...
