We were at the PRS match the other day and were range officers on a stage. One of the guys came up with his AI and started the timed stage. After his fourth or fifth shot, it refuse to fire. He had pierced a primer and it blocked the firing pin. He pulled the bold, opened it and pulled the...

(EDIT) Sorry, did not read the budget constraint. I had the same dilemma with my son. I selected a Remington Model 7 in 243 with 18" Benchmark,trued and bedded, Vortex glass and tuned trigger. The fine gents at GAP did the work on it and it shoots like one of their finest. With the break, it...

Had a great weekend hunting in the Texas panhandle. Not allot of goats around so you had to work to get one. They are extra careful and very spooky. We watched this one for several hours, waiting for him to get in range. We flanked him and got into a shooting position. He finally wandered into...

I also have a pair of the non-HD Geovids in 10x42. I was Antelope hunting and noticed I could not get accurate ranges over about 400 yards. Pissed to say the least. Sat in the truck bemoaning how stupid I was for spending all that money on a combo pair and noticed the laser was filthy. A little...

Does anyone remember the thread about the guy who built a gun room in his house and made the door from tube steel and used hockey puck locks? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Doug S

The RAP 500/AMAC5100/ Johnson was the first 50 cal rifle built for the military for the task of long range sniping. It was highly praised by Dean McCaelis (sp) (triggerfifty) as the most solid 50 on the market. The shell holder design is both good, as it has no moving parts-it is also bad...

If your parallax is moving, you need to send it in for repair. Mine was doing the same and Val asked me to send it in as it required a simple adjustment. No issue, no charge-just a great scope working perfectly.

My 9 year old got his new GAP 243 last year and harvested a great nine point buck in South Texas. This year, a family friend invited him to hunt an Axis buck in the hill country. While we did see the granddaddy of all Axis, I was happy he shot a smaller one to leave some room for improvement...

Surroundings also huge part in the noise from the suppressed rifle. Shoot in the trees, you will hear a report. Shoot in an open field with nothing to reflect the sound and it could be very close to Hollywood quite.

I have a question for the masses. I had a rifle built for my son and we are dialing it in now for the season. It is a full custom Remington Model 7, built by a very well know smith. It has a ptg bolt and a new Benchmark 1/8 twist 17” barrel and all the goodies. It is veryshort. I am having...

Twice now our local Sherriff (CLEO) has been charged theft, misappropriation and a host of other crimes. So he will have a current list of everything you have in your position. Federal law with a local approval. Does not sound quite right. They already get a copy of the 4473 if I purchase two...

This may sound very stupid, but would you please explain this concept?

Hey Drifter, I just pulled up Optics Planet to see what the street price was. I am sure you could find a better deal if you looked.

I checked optics Planet and they have the Mark 6 at 2100.

Leopold make the Mark 6 which is very compact. I believe it is a 3-18. Also quite a bit less money than the March.

In my opinion, levels are subjective. The fastest and most reliable way I have found to mount a scope is to use a standard set of allen wrenches and find the one which fits in a picitanny rail slot and just under the flat base of the scope. As you turn the allen wrench on its edge, it will...

The new Kestrels with the Applied Ballistics program use Brian Litz's ( Berger Bullets fame) bullet design information, combined with actual weather conditions at the point of firing, to calculate the specific dope required. It will be the next big step, specifically calculating density...

300 Blackout The 300 Blackout is very -very quite but it must be in the correct circumstances. If you shoot it around other items like trees, hills, dirt piles, you get allot of sound back from the items. I was not real happy with mine until I went to the ranch and shot it on a flat area with...

I have done busines with Don several times over the years. He has always come thru and been great to deal with. Go for it.

You will be very pleased with that scope. I have four of them and they track and return great. Congrats.
