    Pack with Battle Belt

    I have been using this: https://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=4135 I havent put it on with my belt, but its small enough that I'm pretty sure it would work very well. It's small for a 3 day-er but if you pack light it would carry what you need. FWIW I am in love with the...

    LR 308 "remodeling" Project buffer question

    Once upon a time, I picked up a 20" heavy BBL DPMS LR308, it had a short hand guard and an A2 stock. Not a bad gun but I quickly realized that it was one heavy SOB for its relatively small package. LR-308B in my opinion a very basic rifle that no one put alot of thought in to. I decided to...

    need new load for my DPMS LR-308 and 178 grain bullets

    In both my 20" DPMS and 20" Remmy 700 I am shooting 43.5 Varget under the 178 Amax in Lapua Brass with cci br2 at 2.830", its a solid shooter and supersonic at 1000m. In LC LR Brass I actually shoot the same thing and don't show any pressure. Basically echoing CajunAR's comments, but it shows...

    National Guard Soldier Needs Some Gear Help!!!!!!!!!

    I agree, this is a CCIR item, if your commander followed the rules he should have notified the state Joint Operations Center and a CCIR goes to senior leaders in your state. At that time, teh TAG and his staff and a bunch of other muckety mucks will hear of it. It will come right back to him and...

    Maggie’s Whats the absolute worst conditions you'll go shooting?

    I go to my cabin near Ely MN a few times a winter, its beautiful, its very remote, and its AMAZINGLY cold. I shoot for that reason. I get to see what kind of deviation I get in my hand loads from 90 in the summer to -40 in the winter, which is always interesting to me, and I get to train to...

    Pressure Issues Early in Work-up

    Hey everybody, I have been reloading since 2006, I still consider myself new and reltively inexpierenced. I have never had any issues with safety or erratic results until I started loading for my GAP barreled 300WM. This is a Win M70 action with a 24" Shilen 1:10 installed by Moon (Tim?) at...

    carry pistol for the tackle box

    I can't say anything bad about the SP101, I really wish I still had mine. But I think a Glock would respond well to similar treatment, infact most guns if cared for would be fine I'd say, just some more labor intensive than others. C_K

    "AR10“ carbines

    I agree...800 is a grip for a camp gun that rides in the truck and gets taken on long walks. I'd love to rock out with a SBR but I live in a state that ins't fond of fun. It is going to have to fill two roles though, an intermediate distance shooter and a practical/ portable rifle. I shot a...

    "AR10“ carbines

    I have one in the works as we speak, LR 308 receivers, a 14" FFT and a SOPMOD in the rear. I am having a hell of a time deciding on 16" or 18" to put on it. I'd like it to be light, but also get out to 6-800, and I' mthinking 18 might be my ticket, but for a truck gun to have around all the...
