    Rifle Scopes Why are 1x-4x and 1x-6x scopes so expensive?

    My understanding of expensive glass is that the higher the magnification level, the harder it is to produce glass high enough in quality to create a bright and distortion free image due to lens thickness. If that's the case, what is it about the new 1x-4x or 1x-6x scopes that makes them so...

    Digital or Analog Trigger Scale?

    I'm looking to pickup a trigger scale and was wondering if there's one model in particular that I should look at? Are the digital more accurate or repeatable than the analog versions?

    COAL for Factory Rem700?

    I've got a Rem700 AAC-SD that I'm going to start loading for and was wondering where you guys are seating them for the best accuracy? I've got Alpha Type 2 mags, so I can load out to 2.965" if need be.

    Subsonic .308 Load. Trail Boss or Titegroup?

    I've got two pounds of Titegroup already, but my LGS has some Trail Boss in stock as well. Which powder seems to give better results? Also, I've been told that I need to lube the bullets to avoid having them stick in a dirty bore. Any truth to this? If so, would a lanolin case lube work? Alox?

    Is this Marine legit?

    I recently ran into a guy who claimed to be in the 5th Reg, didn't say what Batt, and that when he was in Iraq he learned that he had a bounty on his head, "Just like Chris Kyle". I said BS, how did they ID you? He said they picked up a prisoner who had a booklet on him filled with photos of...

    Don't go to Dick's Sporting Goods for any AR-15s.

    Because they just pulled them all off the wall. They've also pulled any "hi-cap" magazines as well. Can't imagine that they'll keep it up for very long, that's a lot of money to throw away just to make a statement, not to mention alienating your strongest customer base. Guess we'll just have...

    What's going on at Remington's ammo plant???

    For a while they've had ads out saying not to use certain lots of .338 Lapua, but now they're saying that they put .357 Magnum rounds in boxes of .38 Special +P boxes. I know they haven't always made the greatest ammunition, but I don't remember their QC ever being this bad.

    Anyone ever rebarrel their Savage Mark II?

    I've got a Savage Mark II that as the barrel heats up, the zero tends to wander. Lately I've been playing around with the idea of rebarreling it to see if that fixes the problem. Anyone ever have this done or know of a shop that could do it?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Knife Inside Belt Buckle?

    I can't remember where I saw it, but it was like a small Cold Steel Mini Pal built into a belt buckle. Anybody know what I'm talking about or where I can get one? If it helps, the guy who makes them only sells to law enforcement and military, I think. If you know of something similar, that...

    Bolt is stiffer after installing new trigger.

    My rifle is still pretty new, and has always had something of a stiff bolt, but I just attributed it to the lack of use. So I just installed a new Timney 510 trigger and now the bolt is even harder to open and close. Is there something that can be adjusted to change this? What is it about the...

    My new AAC-SD, she's a shooter!

    Finally got around to putting together a precision rig for some long distance shooting. I've had the bolt fluted, added a new bolt knob, EGW HD 20 MOA base, Burris XTR 30mm rings, bipod, and a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP scope. Still waiting on an HS Precision stock, an AAC Cyclone...

    People with low power scopes, get in here.

    From time to time, here in the rimfire section and in the main forums, I see people who recommend low powered scopes such as the Super Sniper 10x or some sort of 3-9x variable. My question to you is this, what kind of groups can you shoot with these lower power scopes? Are you getting sub moa...
