    Brake for Howa HS Precision 300 win mag

    I'm looking at getting the rifle mentioned in the title. It comes with a pre-threaded muzzle but its 1/2x28 in 300 win mag. Doing searches all I could find in the real popular brakes was 5/8x24 thread. I asked Howa and they confirmed it is the correct thread pitch and recommended a radial brake...

    Hunting & Fishing Mule deer hunt Arizona 19A

    My buddy and I got drawn for 19A in Arizona this year, which is in my backyard. My first successful big game hunt came in the form of a javelina earlier this year but this is my first deer hunt I've ever gotten to do. Growing up watching hunting shows, I've been dreaming of a nice wide mule deer...

    Radio recommendations

    My buddy and I are looking to get a couple radios to keep in the trucks for communication when out in the woods and exploring the various canyons and some small caverns in the area. I started looking on Amazon but this is one area I have zero knowledge in. We have access to radios we use on the...

    Build a 1 mile gun

    I've always been infatuated with long range shooting for a long time and have recently gotten a good rifle and some gear. This last weekend I pushed my longest shots from 1000 yards previously to 1200 yards with my 6.5 Creedmoor. I was super stoked and still wearing the grin, however I've got...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex service question

    I sent my Vortex Diamondback scope back to Vortex last Monday. The zero was wandering left worse and worse with every group. I tried 2 sets of rings, made sure the base was tight, action screws were torqued, etc. Shooting ammo that's proven 3/4 out of the rifle. Shipped it Monday, they got it...

    Howa 6.5 Creedmoor 26" barreled action

    I currently have a Weatherby Vanguard in 30-06 that I have dropped into a Manners stock. It shoots pretty regularly just over 3/4 of an inch groups at 100, and I've used it to shoot 168 grain Bergers to 1000 yards successfully. I want to get a second rifle that I can shoot further, with less...

    Dropped my gun

    Got in late tonight, tired, splitting headache from quitting caffeine. Pulled my backpack out of the truck, didn't realize the strap was looped on my Henry 22 lever action. It hit muzzle first on the concrete drive way, then scope,then settled on the wood stock. Swore silently...a lot, got it...

    Gunsmithing Mossberg 500 locking on fired shell

    I have a model 500 that has been serving me faithfully for 16 years now. Lately though I've been noticing that after certain firings, the pump locks up and won't remove the spent shell until i really pull on it. If I push the slide release on a loaded shell it releases smooth as butter, and if...

    New shotgun - Weatherby SA-08 or Mossberg 930

    I'm looking to get my first semi auto shotgun and I've narrowed it down to 2. Trying to get opinions on both to see what you think. Budget is $500 firm, no saving up for the super black eagle 2 with satellite trajectory or something stupid. These 2 guns, or same price. The purpose is going to be...

    Hunting & Fishing Clear answer in regards to pelts

    So I've been searching Google for the better part of the afternoon trying to find a clear cut answer and I'm not coming up with anything. An elderly gentleman has asked me to try and sell 2 red fox pelts for him. My first question is if the hides have been tanned are there any licenses required...

    Hunting & Fishing Northern Arizona Fishing

    I haven't wet a line in 4+ years, and just recently came across some pictures from my surf fishing days in California. I used to be able to just drive down to the beach, throw some Berkley Gulp sand worms or some live ghost shrimp on a hook and be on fish in 20 minutes or less. Now, I'm living...

    Gunsmithing AR-15 Stripped Lower Assembly - What Gives?

    So I picked up a Spike's Tactical stripped lower, and ordered a Rock River Arms lower parts kit for it from Rainier Arms. It showed up in the mail today, so I ran home and started to put it together. Everything went together nice and smooth, up until I got to the front takedown pin/pivot pin...

Last weekend the OCW test was done at 349 yards with loads starting at 77 grains of Reloader 25 and going up to 80.3 grains in .3 increments.

    I'm building a long range rifle right now, and I am getting close to being able to shoot it soon. I would like to order an Atlas bi-pod to put on it, but the HS Precision stock that I currently have(yes it'll be replaced eventually, but not until my barrel is shot out), has the standard sling...

    Bullet Questions

    I just bought a Remington Sendero in 300 Remington Ultra Mag, and starting to look at bullets for loading the new beasty. So far in my preliminary searches, I've found 2 bullets that stand out fairly well. The first is the 210 Gr VLD from Berger. It has a G7 of .630 and a sectional density of...

    Gunsmithing Muzzle threading difficulty

    Ordered a rifle and plan to have a brake put on it, but having some reservations about my local smith. Rumor states he's not the most competent in the world. Im wondering how hard it would be to have my brand new rifle threaded and brake installed, if it's something that's easily screwed up, or...

    Maggie’s Thoughts, Prayers, and Hope sent Arizona's way...please

    I'm in the town of Chino/Prescott, and today is a horrible day. Last week, we survived a wild fire called the Docie fire. We had over 600 crew, helicopters, giant tankers, and the collective spirit of a great community that banded together to beat back the flames of the 6000+ acre fire. We got...
