    Rifle Scopes Scope mount, on Amazon, for precision trainer

    I snagged a SWFA 3-15 during the Black Friday sale, now I'm looking for mounts. I need 30mm to Weaver/Picatinny. I have a $50 Amazon gift card to use, so I'd like to find something on Amazon for around $100, but I'd be willing to stretch to $150. My "precision trainer" is a high end airgun, so...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA Fixed vs 3-15?

    Got SWFA's Black Friday email today and there's some deals on a couple scopes that I've been trying to decide on. It will be going on a high end PCP air rifle used for small game hunting. For all intents and purposes, treat it like a precision .22 trainer, for those that don't do the air rifle...

    Starting a Savage 12FV build; Have some painfully newb questions about stock bedding...

    Hey guys, sorry for the dumb-ass question, but I'm looking at starting a LR build off of a Savage 12FV (Cabela's exclusive) in 6.5 Creedmoor. I'm looking at aftermarket stocks, and I have a question about the fitment of a B&C Medalist #2...

    THE Ruger American Ranch Thread!

    It's here and it looks cool! The Ruger American Rifle® Ranch Bolt-Action Rifle Models I want one in 5.56! I was just barely able to get a hold of a .308 Predator. I wonder how long it will take to start getting them on store shelves?

    Question about .308 velocities?

    Quick question for you guys. Is there any way to safely get a 210 grain Berger VLD Hunting to hit 2600 fps in an 18" .308 barrel? The barrel is 1:10" twist so, according the calculator I used, it is plenty stabilized; even at 2000 fps. But I'd like to get 2600 if possible. Thanks!

    Short Barreled .243 + Flash Hider

    Ok, so I'm cutting my Ruger American Predator's barrel down to 16.5" for a light brush gun for coyotes and deer under 300 meters. I'm going to do load development with fast burning powders so that I don't create a three foot flame... However, I doubt that I will be able to get rid of all of the...

    Gunsmithing Looking for a barrel?

    Ok, so I'm new-ish, so hopefully I don't mess up a ton of terminology here. I'm looking for a custom, heavy contour, barrel. My factory barrel has 1"-16 rear threading and the threaded part measures 1". Anybody know where I can get a real heavy contour, 16.5", barrel with these specs? Thanks!

    Range Report Chopping a barrel...

    I'm in the process of making a lightweight coyote gun for the western desert out here. I have chosen the .243 caliber since I can also bag the occasional deer with it (assuming I draw out). It's not unusual for me to hike an excess of 15 miles when I go out varmint hunting, so I'm trying to make...

    Just ordered a Ruger American Predator!

    For those of you who noticed, I was asking about a .308 "all-out" build on the Remington 700 around here a few months ago. I decided I wanted to go with 6.5 Creedmoor instead of .308, which means I will have to rebarrel it, so it is on the back burner while I acquire funds. In the meantime, I...

    First long range gun; Remington 700 build

    Hi all! I am brand new here. I started shooting at 8 years old and have loved it ever since. Recently, I got into precision shooting. The never-ending quest for 5 shots in one hole at a good distance really gets my adrenaline pumping. Anyway, I love shooting my bolt action .22lr at 300 yards and...

    New here; Remington 700 build in my future

    Hey all! I'm new here and I was wondering if you all could help me with a Remington 700 build. But first a little background. I've been shooting rifles my whole life, but I just barely got into wanting more precision. Something about the endless quest to get 5 shots into one hole really gets my...
