Despite knowing better I bought into the UR click bait on the below video about pushing 308win to 300wm performance. I thought perhaps they'd use an exotic powder, or some new projectile to squeeze maximum velocity out of the 308 case. But all they did was load too much Varget into a 308 case...

I've got a 223 Tikka that I am wanting to rebarrel to either 223 or 223AI. I like the Tikka, the only issue I have is I can't load single rounds and have them feed (they hit the breech face), using AICS, CTR and T3 mags. I did manage to 3d print a new follower than allowed single loading years...

TLDR; will buying a Bartlein blank and have a smith rebarrel my T1x get me Vudoo/Anschutz accuracy or will I just be wasting money? I've been shooting my 16" T1x ever since they first came to market. For the most part I've been extremely happy with it, I've never had feeding or reliability...

I'm not actually looking to compete in NRL hunter but the folks that do dable is this probably are the most up to date with barrel profiles. Research suggests the Marksman contour is the heaviest guys are going for in NRL Heavy class. I'm planning to rebarrel my 223 and the comps I shoot in...

So I recenetly coined the term "Leupolded" which is basically Leupolds ability to get a good idea for a new scope and screw it up with dumb reticle options and other specs they get wrong. I guess that means Vortexed/Vortex'd is when your Vortex scopes shits itself at the worst possible time. I...

Ive just seen this announced by Delta NZ on Facebook. Hopefully it's not just another version of the Bushy DMR scopes (due to stupid tunneling). If it doesn't weigh a tonne it could be a nice crossover scope, the LRD-1T reticle is quite nicely visible on 4.5x in the Stryker 4.5-30 so I think...

I shot a match over the weekend using my CZ 452, I usually use a T1x but wanted to try the old CZ again to see how I found it (much prefer the Tikka). Rifle performed as expected but I really find myself being annoyed at the magazine location, and the big banana shape seems to make shooting off...

Not sure if anyone cares or not but due to lack of shotgun threads I'll post this anyway. I started a thread a few months ago about trying to extend the range of my shotgun due to a particular set of circumstances where I was tryign to control a peacock population, you can read here if you'd...

Having shot my last three competitions in either passing rain or bitter cold wind I've found myself wanting some lightweight, compact, 100% water and windproof rain gear I can keep in my pack at all times. In theory Frogg Toggs are exactly what I want and are so cheap it should be a no...

I'll preface this by saying I am 99% a rifle shooter and only use my shotgun when attempting to shoot waterfowl during the hunting season. Historically I've found shotguns to be kinda hopeless for hunting anything other than birds on the wing or short range small game, preferring to use a 22lr...

I've often heard people here talk about field target shooting as being a completely different shooting discipline than PRS and have often wondered why folk make such a big distinction between the two. I get that PRS has very much lost any practical application in that it is now effectively...

I've started shootin my 17hmr again and finding the classis hunter type stock to be kinda horrible to use after using more "precision" oriented stocks, I also want to try and ARCA rail on the rifle and don't want to bubba the nice walnut. From the research I've done it seems like the only...

So I've been meaning to test this for a while now, been waiting for a variety of reasons but had the time and opportunity to do it yesterday, so despite the bad weather went ahead and ran my test. Basically wanted to know what the RTZ reliability of removing/installing scopes was going to be if...

So having waited 3 months for my ERATAC T5014-0011 (ordered from a local guy, I'm not US based) I finally received it today and went to mount my Delta Stryker 4.5-30, to my disgust the scope doesn't fit the mount... I ordered the 1.1" (28mm) 34mm 0moa mount as I knew that I only needed 1" to...

Hi all. I've been through all the recent PRS pack threads and it seems like the X31 Lo Drag is a very popular option. I'm wondering if anyone here has used the X1 Euro pack, it looks very similar maybe just a little smaller footprint and less weight yet slight more capacity and cheaper. I'm...

I'm about to start load development for a new 6.5CM and have been scrolling through a lot of threads about the different loads guys are using. One thing I've noticed is a pretty big proportion of guys loads are seated .020" off the lands regardless of bullet used and in some case regardless of...

There has been a few threads and different posts since the introduction of the T1x about re-barreling, seems like there are a few companies now offering prefit barrels. Leaving out any difficulties in removing the old barrel, how have folk been finding the new barrels? Have you found the...

Long story short I have multiple rifles, some that see a lot of use and others that don't and would like too play musical scopes on a frequent basis. I've tested my current scopes with Burris XTR rings and and seeing them very repeatable in vertical but horizontally I'm getting up to 2mils...

Simple question. Can anyone fill me in on what would be considered a "genuine" suppressor for a 2008 308 AIAW, if there was such a thing. Did AI have a single/select manufactures of suppressors that work with the factory muzzle brake or was it like any other rifle and buyers sourced their own...
