    Rifle Scopes Low Power Varible Optic on 16" Boltgun?

    Not sure if this should go in Optics, Bolt Action Rifles or the Hunting Section. I have been thinking of putting together a 16" 308 bolt action rifle with a SWFA 1-6 for a eastern woods hunting setup. Recently, most of my hunting has been from a treestand with a crossbow or a 300 Blackout...

    New Barrel for AR10?

    Hiders, I have an Armalite AR10 that currently has a Rock Creek 243 barrel on it that is reaching the end of its life. Want to put something on it that will last considerably longer so I am leaning towards 308 or 6.5 Creedmoor as I am set up for both already. Those of you with 6.5...

    When will the M40A1 be "Vintage?"

    Not that I want to read about a rifle I carried in the "Vintage Sniper Rifles" section but just wondering what is vintage and what isn't. I'd argue the M40A1 and Unertl scope was the first modern sniper system so it will take a huge leap in technology to move it to this section. So, what makes...

    Rem 700 Scout Rifle?

    I've been thinking of getting a "scout" rifle based loosely on Jeff Cooper's ideas of what this should be but am not sold on Ruger's or Steyr's rifles. Has anyone built one on a Remington 700 action? What did you use for iron sights and scope base?

    POF-USA & Pakistani Ordnance Factory

    Discussing this at work today: Can anyone confirm that POF-USA is part of Pakistani Ordnance Factory? I remember seeing advertisements for the Pakistani company making HK clones a few years ago and I think they changed into "Patriot Ordnance Factory" and then POF-USA. However, POF-USA's...

    Badger DBM Question

    I have Badger Ordnance M5's for both my 308 and 300WM. On the 308, I can cycle the bolt with the magazine inserted and no rounds. If I try this with the 300WM the follower acts like a "bolt hold open" and I cannot cycle the bolt to single load rounds or dry fire. Anyone else have this...

    M40A1 and MST-100 Reloading Data?

    Those of you with spec M40A1 builds using a MST-100 or Unertl 10X, what is the recipe you are using to match the BDC? I know that the USMC has issued 173 grain Match "White Box" M118, 173 grain Special Ball and 175 grain M118LR, and I am assuming that the Unertl/MST-100 is set up for the White...

    In searching through threads about coating a barrel with melonite, the only thing I found was: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthre...4173#Post864173 There aren't any long term results saying it does / does not increase barrel life. Has anyone coated a barrel with melonite and seen...

    Gunsmithing DD Ross trigger guard to BO M5 DBM

    From this thread: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthre...0037#Post870037 It looks like a Badger M5 is slightly larger than the M4 and the stock should be inleted for the DBM in order for both to work. Anyone know how the DD Ross Trigger Guard / Floorplate sizes up to a Badger DBM for a Rem...

    243 AR10 Build?

    I went into the gun store yesterday looking for a used Remington 700 for a 243 build I have been thinking about and came home with a stripped Eagle AR10 lower. I know Armalite use to make these in 243, but has anyone here done this recently? What problems have you run into with functioning...
