    Sidearms & Scatterguns 460 Rowland... Very Frustrating

    So I bought the conversion kit for my Glock 21 Gen 3 from 460 Rowland.com and the results are disappointing to say the least. First problem I encountered was ammo related. Shooting Underwood 255 gr hardcast, the bullets are hitting the target sideways from any distance. The ported barrel they...

    Rifle Scopes Help choosing a scope.

    Don't want to get into a "which scope is better" discussion, just looking for factual information. I haven't purchased a scope in a few years and I'm in the market for a new scope for an M14 that I will shoot out to 1000 yards. It used to wear a Schmidt & Bender 3-12 but no longer. My other...

    This might sound like I'm reaching and I may be slightly under-informed but here goes. 1. dual-port single shot 2. intergral scope rail 3. intergral recoil lug 4. extended tenon 5. 3 lug bolt with M16 style extractor and one piece bolt handle

    Range Report 338 Lapua solids

    So is any data at 300 yards reliable to use as a reference at ranges to 1000 yards and beyond? Or do solids have a mind of their own? I know we don't judge accuracy with 3 rd groups but I acquired some HSM loaded with 230 gr T50 solid brass bullets and did some quick testing at 300. Three 3...

    Range Report 175 gr .308 Lapua Scenar-L

    Anyone have any experience with the loaded ammo yet? Looks promising based on the data from other calibers and I'm looking for a good out of the box 1000 yard load. Any measured bc numbers yet, Lapua has not provided any info on the website?

    Sako 85/HS Precision Swap

    Anyone know if it's possible to remove a Sako 85 Varmint action and barrel from the wood stock and install it in an HS Precision varmint stock? I want a 204 Ruger rifle with great out of the box accuracy and the Sako setup is perfect except for the wood stock. I've seen the Tikka rifles and...

    Manners T4A or JAE 700

    Interested in a new 338 Lapua build. Don't have any experience with either one of these stocks and have never owned a bolt action rifle other than several TRG-42's and an HS precision with its bedding block. So is there an advantage to a bedded rifle or does it loosen up over time and degrade...

    Chest Rig Question

    Is there a chest rig that anyone can recommend to use in conjunction with a pack like the Eberlestock G4? Looking to hold 8-12 AR mags and have extra pouches to have easy access to normal patrol gear like maps, radio, or a set of binos?

    SOCOM 16 Problem

    Recently installed a Delta P Design adapter and Surefire 762-211c muzzle brake and got pretty severe baffle strikes just leaving the muzzle. Installed a JP large profile compensator and had the same result. Cycling was a non-issue. Removed the Delta P adapter and installed the original SOCOM...

    300 Win Mag Less Muzzle Brake

    How many of you shoot the 300 Win Mag without a brake? I'm asking because I am looking into an F Open rifle but I want a cartridge with more than what the .308 has to offer but also has the option of commercially loaded ammunition in addition to hand loading for it.

    284 winchester vs 7mm-08

    Several days ago I started a thread regarding an action for a 7mm-08 build. Since that time I have been around several shooters at the range that have convinced me to give the 284 Winchester a look. Not looking to start a caliber debate but I only have experience with "standard" rifle...

    7mm-08 Action

    I'm looking to build a 7mm-08 rifle for long range matches/tactical shooting. I will shoot 168 Berger VLD's almost exclusively and have decided on a JAE700 stock. What I have not decided on yet is the action it will be built on. My initial thought is a Surgeon short action but wouldn't mind...

    Atlas Bipod Adapter

    I am hoping to set up my M14 with an Atlas bipod but have run into a snag. Anyone know if there is an adapter for a standard stud mount? Currently using a Harris but would like to really load up the bipod.

    Most effective muzzle brake

    Kind of a difficult question to ask unless someone has actually compared several on the same rifle but hoping to hear any feedback available. Basically trying to find the most effective brake to mount on a Socom 16 with 5/8x24 threads. Looking for the most significant reduction in recoil and...

    TRG-42 Trigger

    I have owned several TRG-42's but have never experienced this before. After adjusting the trigger down to a comfortable pull, definitely on the lighter side of the 2 lb range, I have noticed that unless I operate the bolt very aggressively to the rear and then forward the trigger "loses" it's...

    Not so funny safe story

    So I've needed a safe for a while now and was determined to get one without an electronic lock because I think it's silly to trust gaining entry to your firearms to an electronic part that can fail easily. I ended up with one because the price, size and availability was right at the time. This...

    Rifle Scopes Way to mount a Dr Red Dot on an Elcan

    I remember seeing a post recently on someone mounting a Dr red dot on an Elcan 1.5-6 and decided that is the setup that works for me. Anyone know who makes the mount for this?

    5.56 TSX Loaded Ammo

    Other than Silver State, does anyone know who else loads 5.56 ammo with the 70 gr TSX bullet? I remember seeing it about a month ago but cannot find it using any kind of search. Thanks.

    Rifle Scopes Help choosing a Trijicon

    Looking for some advice on a Trijicon for an LWRC M6A2. I would prefer an optic that is usable for CQB training as well as hitting silhouette targets out to 200 yards but not the best at either one. I prefer a Trijicon because of not having to turn on a switch or replace a battery, but there...

    M14 and 168 gr TAP at 1000 yards

    The question of whether or not the 168 gr AMAX will remain stable at 1000 yards seems to come up often so I thought I would share a day at the range at that distance. JBM has been perfect so far with this round up to 600 yards. Said I should have needed 11.1 mils to get to 1000. Only had 10.7...
