    Any ranges/clubs in North Arkansas?

    I am considering buying a piece of land that is near Mammoth Spring (by the Missouri border) and opening a shooting range. The longest range would probably be 1200-1500 yards. I'm just trying to find out if there is anybody else in the area that has a similarly long range, and if there are any...

    Nucleus bump on close (renamed again)

    I am putting together a Nucleus build, and am having an issue. The action cycles just fine by itself, but I added a Timney Calvin Elite trigger (without the Timney bolt release) and it now has a super noticable catch. It occurs as the bolt is rotating closed, and it takes what I'd guess is about...

    What round for training cartridge?

    I am putting together a Nucleus with Barloc, and am considering doing a switch-barrel set-up for training. Any suggestions on which cartridge? For competition I will be using 6.5 Creedmoor handloads, and the training rounds would probably be handloads too. I know a lot of people use .223, but I...

    Favorite underwear. No seriously!

    Never again will I buy Fruit of the Loom's. 2/3 of them had a torn seam after the first wearing. So I'm looking for recommendations. No briefs, just boxer-briefs or boxers. And for all you smart-alecs, I'll beat you to it: "The ones on the floor with the dress".

    Shooters World Powder: Long Rifle for 6.5 Creedmoor

    This started out as a private conversation, but I decided to turn it into a thread. "All I've done so far is load and shoot 50 rounds. They were loaded 10% below max charge. This was to get some once-fired brass so I could start load development (they say not to use new brass for load...

    Wouldn't buy from Shooter_308 again

    I bought a die set from him, sending paypal immediately. Two days later he said he was sending it. At four days he again said he was sending it. At eight days I asked to confirm he had sent it. At nine days he said he had sent it that day. At ten days it actually got sent. TEN DAYS after payment...

    Suppressors Why use a suppressor?

    Just wondering why many guys use suppressors for competition. I get that they are cool, and in a combat situation they can help make it a little harder to locate where the sound originated. But shooting supersonic, the sound is still loud enough to cause hearing damage so you are going to be...

    Peterson 6.5 Creedmoor neck thickness?

    Does anybody know the neck thickness of Peterson's 6.5 Creedmoor brass? I've ordered 350 pieces of their small rifle primer brass, and I have a set of Redding Type-S dies coming from another member that will need a bushing. I may just wait for it all to get here and take measurements then, but I...

    mx711yam will not respond

    I said I'd take a bipod that mx711yam had for sale, then also sent a PM. I could see on his "last seen" that he viewed the bipod thread, and then viewed his messages. A day later he still has not responded. If it's not for sale anymore, then tell me. I could be looking for and making offers on...

    Rifle Scopes ebr-1 vs ebr-2

    Looking for thoughts on vortex reticles. I am planning on getting a used Razor Gen 2 4.5-27x56 in mrad, and I figured that I would probably like an ebr-2c reticle, but I am finding some good deals on ebr-1c's. I guess what I want to know is, those who have ebr-2c reticles, how much do you use...
