    New Manuhrin MR73 finish-blue or black?

    No ideas, huh? I guess it is a pretty rare gun.

    New Manuhrin MR73 finish-blue or black?

    Quick question- I have the opportunity to buy a new MANUHRIN MR73, and have wanted one for years, at a reputable site. The site lists the finish as “black” though, and I always loved the Manuhrin deep blue. Is this deep blue mislabeled as black, or does Manuhrin now actually ship BLACK MR73s to...

    Fatboy tripod opinions (vs RRS?)

    I went ahead and forked out the $ for the RRS (from a forum supporter). I appreciate the suggestions from all though. If Fatboy would have had the lifetime warranty (or even just a 5y to match) I might have gone that direction though- I like the look of it.

    Fatboy tripod opinions (vs RRS?)

    Wish I knew if it would hold up as well as the 34L- it seems they are sold out most places right now- and right at the top of my budget,

    Fatboy tripod opinions (vs RRS?)

    Thanks for the reply. Those are actually the two RRS models I was looking at, any opinions on the differences between them since you have owned both.

    Fatboy tripod opinions (vs RRS?)

    I was looking into getting a RRS (really right stuff) tripod for mostly long range range shooting with my MPA 338L, but maybe some hunting as well, and came across Fatboy (Fatboy traverse 3-section) for about half the cost. Seems to have fairly good reviews (though the 1-yr warranty vs. RRS’s...

    Couple quick Eberlestock Gunslinger II (newest model) Qs

    Thanks! Very helpful. Does the problem with removing the rifle from the scabbard seem to have been fully resolved with the new version? (E.g., https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/question-for-gunslinger-ii-users.201112/

    Couple quick Eberlestock Gunslinger II (newest model) Qs

    So I’ve narrowed my rifle carry bag down thanks in past to info on the forum, but still have two quick questions for Eberlestock Gunslinger II owners that I haven’t seen addressed. 1-How is the pattern and the rifle scabbard? Sufficient for some abuse with a pretty expensive rifle/scope combo...

    Anyone use the Lee Precision stand for large rifle?

    I’m light on space these days, and mainly reload 338 Lapua, 308, 8mm, 30-06, and 454 Casull with a Redding Big Boss 2. Does anyone have experience with the Lee Precision reloading stand with something similar to the Big Boss? It doesn’t have to be perfect, but is it stable enough if weighted...

    FOUND!! Any Gun friendly electronic payment available?

    I’ve heard of Guntab - seems like a good, safe, idea if you don’t mind the fee. Never tried it though.

    Wilson Combat

    Yeah- I’ve had the 6.5 ‘super Sniper’ and two ‘recon tactical’ 300blk. They were perfectly nice, around <1MOA as advertised. I was honestly much more impressed with my JP’s build quality (and customer service) though.

    Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

    Trained a couple years with Jacare in Alliance in Atlanta, then a year with Carlson Gracie team south of Chicago — until torn ACL, bulging discs, and age convinced me I should find another hobby. I wouldn’t trade the skills and enjoyment for anything though- I loved it- just wish I’d started...

    "Friends" wanting to buy ammo

    Yeah/ the only ones I’ve given any to have been parents and my brother. Usually I just tell them I have what I need (or ‘not in that caliber’). I do, however, offer to keep an eye out for ammo that pops up at inflated current prices in their caliber, and email or text them the link when I find...

    Excellent- thanks- now to see if it'll work with the Mauser with the 56mm optic.

    Rifle Scopes Scope mount base ID?

    Hi all-- first post, though I've followed for a while. i just had a really quick question about identifying the scope mount base in the attached pic (from Mauser's site). It's clearly not a rail of any sort, and does not appear to be any dovetail base I've seen. maybe this is a really dumb...
