    SIG 716 Ejector Flaw

    I started having catastrophic ejection failures (the fired case still on the bolt face with the next round partially fed into the chamber) with a new (less than 300 rounds) SIG 716. Pressing on the ejector revealed that the ejector was locked up tight, i.e. it didn't want to depress, and when...

    Suppressors Surefire Customers Beware

    Most of you know Surefire brought out their new line of 'SOCOM' suppressors & adapters last year. What you may not have heard is they are no longer making muzzle brakes or flash hiders for their 'old style' suppressors. You know, the ones they were selling earlier last year… So if you were...

    Rifle Scopes March-FX 5x-40x 56mm FFP thoughts

    I have been shooting March's 5x-40X 56mm FFP on a .300 Win Mag (Savage 110BA) for a couple of months and have a couple of observations to share: Optically I would rank this scope with the S&B’s & Premier’s, and a bit better than most of the Nightforce scopes I have experience with. The .05...

    Savage 110BA Magazines?

    Can anyone tell me what the Max OAL is for loaded rounds in the .300 Win magazines? How about for the .338 Lapua mags? Do the Lapua mags have the same outside dimensions of the .300 Win mags (I.E. will the .338 mags lock into a .300 Win Mag version of the rifle?) Thanks, DC

    Dillon Super 1050 disappointment

    Let me start by saying this isn't my first Dillon machine, I have a lot of stuff including an SL900, power trimmer, 450/550, swager, etc. Yesterday $2200+ of Super 1050 & a conversion kit showed up, and I started putting it together this morning. First impression: the instructions aren't what...

    Smack the Smiley Lessons Learned?

    Yesterday afternoon I shot my best (by far, almost perfect!) Smack the Smiley target ever, until the 9th round, anyway... But yesterday was hardly the first time I have 'sh!t the bed' on the 9th or 10th round. Now that I have been shooting this match for a couple of years, I think there are...

    Bushnell Backtrack Point>5GPS 1st look

    The big brown truck brought me a new Bushnell Backtrack Point>5 GPS Friday afternoon. It locks up (finds its location) fast, has a nearly Marine-proof interface, and useful data screens. I was horrified with the accuracy of the built in digital compass. After carefully following the...

    Gunsmithing CZ 527 Trigger Challenges

    I bought my wife a new CZ 527 in .223 Remington. The trigger, as it came out of the box, was terrible. My gunsmith (who has been building match rifles for more than thirty years) has been having a terrible time getting either the regular or 'set' trigger to something resembling a crisp break...
