    Rifle Scopes Viper PST Gen 2 vs Athlon Ares BTR Gen 2 w/ new Turrets from Midas?

    Anybody have any experience with the "Gen 2" Ares BTR now being offered? I've read a bunch of comparisons between the previous Ares BTR and the PST2, and the biggest complaint is the turrets of the Ares BTR. With the new Ares BTR2 getting a steel setup like the Midas Tac, and I believe...

    Rifle Scopes 6-24 Argos BTR vs. 6-24 Midas Tac? Is the true zero stop/turrets/glass worth it?

    I've spent a couple hours googling and comparing and I know most/all of the differences between the two. I was set on the Midas Tac but the (comparatively) much cheaper Argos BTR has caught my eye. I'm not sure I'll need the zero stop. The 10 mil/rotation turrets on the Tac would be nice and...

    Tikka T3x CTR vs. Tikka T3x Tac A1?

    For a dedicated range toy. Either will be in 6.5 CM. I have a 600 yard range near me, and lots of property for longer shots if I want. Not looking to spend a ton of money here, just want something a little better than my R700s have been and have narrowed it down to these two. I know the...

    Cost of gunsmith installing a barrel on R700?

    I've got a Remington 700 and toying around the idea of picking up a Bartlein from RHR for $300. How much would most smiths charge to finish out/install a barrel? Do most smiths do cerakoting in house too? I don't have many around me other than D&D.

    I'm shopping around for a Grayboe stock and I came upon these guys and they're offering it significantly cheaper ($50+) than Grayboe or Red Hawk. I planned on ordering from Red Hawk and using their 10% off Grayboe but if these guys are a good operation then I'll grab one from them. I just...

    Mentality behind the Chassis stock vs. more Traditional Tactical stocks?

    I've researched and watched precision rifles and the surrounding fields off and on for the last few years and usually I saw people using stocks by McMillan or Manners (Obviously tons of others too), most were running stocks such as an A5. Fast forward a year or two and it seems a LOT of guns are...

    I have trail cameras out on my property all year and one captured this weird shot. I'll attach two photos to show what the area would look like without the thing in it, don't mind the little Elk. This "thing" only showed up in one shot. Let me know what you think. I have no idea what it...

    I'm going to be putting a Grayboe Terrain or Renegade on my R700. Eventually I might rebarrel and I'm trying to tell if a Bartlein #3 or #3B will fit in the Magnum or Varmint channel. I think, from my half assed calculations from the chart, it will fit. But I could be wrong, I don't know...

    Trying to stay around $200 for a scope on my deer rifle, most of my shots are around 100-200 yards. Both companies have a good reputation and both have great warranties. Has anyone looked through both? (I have looked through both a VX-1 and VX2 but not a Diamondback). Let me know

    Hello, I went up and successfully bagged a pretty nice 8 point buck with my Remington 700 .270. I am shooting factory loads, 140 GR SST Superformance. I zeroed her at 50 due to ballistic programs showing it staying within a 3" kill zone to about 200 yards or a bit more. Anyways, my buck came...
