    .300 blackout SBR

    Looking for some input on a .300 blackout SBR. Intended use is primarily hog hunting but it will also see duty as a truck gun. Initial search has me down to the Noveske chainsaw, Wilson Combat , POF Renegade +, or possibly Daniel Defense. Looking at barrels in the 10.5" range and it will...

    Custom Cerakote - KRG Bravo Vendors

    Is anyone aware of a vendor through which you can order a custom cerakoted KRG Bravo? I am lazy/time stricken and would rather deal with one party directly if possible. I guess my other option is having one shipped directly to an applicator but then you are paying for shipping twice. (should...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Ranger Series

    Does anyone have first hand knowledge on the Steiner Ranger Series? I saw the 4-16X56 model pop up recently and wanted to see if there was any discernible difference between the Ranger and the old p4xi. Looks like a very interesting scope for the price point and they also have a 2.5-10X50 and...

    Shooting using a tripod

    Has anyone ever encountered shifts in accuracy utilizing a tripod? My instance is completely on me but I used a Bog Death Grip on a recent hunting trip and didn't have the outcome I wanted on a shot - i.e. missed a deer at ~225 yards. Rifle was sighted in and I am trying to isolate variables...

    R700 Bolt Catch Assembly

    I am finally getting around to assembling a rifle built around a DST barreled action and seem to have run into a delimma right off the bat. When going to install the trigger I noticed that I don't have the bolt catch assembly. After scouring the net it appears that these things are no where to...

    Rifle Scopes Scope for Air Rifle

    Looking for recommendations for a cheap air rifle scope for backyard plinking. I bought my son a Gamo air rifle that absolutely eats scopes for breakfast. I have gone through 3 Gamo branded scopes in a few months. In all instances the rifle makes the reticle do circus tricks - they end up...

    Rifle Scopes Videoing Shots

    Curious what is recommended for videoing shots, either through scope or a simple adapter for scopes. My boss, who is a gadget guy, is looking for something to use for hunting in S. TX. He already utilizes an iPhone adapter for his spotting scope and is looking for something easy to use that...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell LRHS Alternative

    I originally posted this in the wrong forum and thus moved it.. Is there currently a reticle offering similar to the LRHS out in the wild for hunting and plinking? I have one of the 4.5-18x scopes and it is far and away my favorite scope for hunting. I have heard rumors that they may have a...

    Shout out to Deep South Tactical

    Just wanted to publicly say thanks to the DST team for a great buying experience. I was fortunate enough to score one of the last of their barreled action specials and had the pleasure of speaking with both David and Nick. It's nice to know that true customer service does still exist. This was...

    Looking to see if anyone here has ever dealt with Deep South Tactical. They have 700 barreled actions with bartlein barrels for $1k. Actions are blueprinted. Seems like a good deal.

    Does anyone have experience with the new Ruger American Rifle Hunter edition? It appears to have a heavier barrel profile, similar to a RPR and comes in a Magpul stock. Looking at picking up a new rifle to just tinker around with and use for hunting / light target shooting. Already have a CTR...

    6.5 grendel options

    I am looking for a 6.5 grendel upper and don't find a lot of options out there on the interweb. Any recommendations? I thought about just building one but would prefer to find one complete from a reputable company. Would like to keep cost around a grand and want an 18 inch barrel. Will be...

    Rifle Scopes Dot reticle?

    I'm probably looking for a unicorn but does anyone make a variable power scope with just a dot reticle - nothing else? I'm thinking along the lines of an aimpoint but with high magnification (10+). Don't know why but I would love to have one for hunting.

    Tikka T3X CTR Failure to Eject

    Took my new CTR in 6.5 Creedmoor to the range to sight in and the rifle absolutely will not extract a spent casing. 100% failure rate. After 5 rounds I gave up. This is the first bolt action that I have ever had this problem with. Any thoughts on how to address this besides trying to send...

    New Stocks from GRS

    I received an email today from EuroOptic about new stocks from GRS. The Bifrost looks pretty interesting as an option for my Tikka. Any word on these? The Bolthorn is also very interesting but is up there with the likes of Cadex and J Allen with regards to price...

    Stock for 700 BDL

    I recently inherited a 700 BDL in 7mm mag when my father passed away and I am interested in replacing the stock. The rifle is from the early 90's and is a great shooter, but the barrel is not fully floated in its original stock which is synthetic. I would like to try and keep the rifle in its...

    I have a Tikka T3X CTR in 6.5 that has been sitting in the safe for a few months and I would like to upgrade the stock. Primary application it will be used for is hunting and occasionally some long distance paper punching. I am a traditionalist and I really like the looks of the Manners line...

    Rifle Scopes 20 MOA Base vs. 20 MOA Scope Mount

    Question for fellow Hide members: Is there any discernible difference between using a 20 MOA scope mount vs. a 20 MOA base w/ standard rings? I have a Tikka CTR and was looking at using a one-piece 20 MOA mount from Seekins as opposed to replacing the existing rail on the gun. Is there a...
