my remington 700 in 7mm-08 shoots like absolute crap. Here is a little background. I bought this rifle as a SPS 308. It shot great, but not being able to leave well enough, alone, I changed the barrel to 7mm-08, I got off here in the classifieds. it is a youth model barrel so its only 20"...

anybody used the 160 flex tip hornady bullets in a T/C contender 30-30? I called hornady since they dont list that bullet in the manual under handgun loads. I figure the rifle loads will waste a lot of powder.

I went to the fun store yesterday to ship a gun, I came home with a new G36. Tip: never go into the gun store with money in your pocket. I have read comments on the G36 about it jamming, but I liked the feel of it and I wanted to get into the 45acp club, so I went ahead and got it. I have to...

I have an older friend that is getting sensitive to high recoil rifles. He has a 7mmRM and I suggested loading some low recoil rounds instead of buying a new rifle. I also have an aunt that wants to start deer hunting and cant handle the recoil of hard kicking rifles, she has a 30/06 in a...

how does the IOR line of scopes compare to the Nightforce,USO and other higher end scopes? I am finally ready to purchase a higher quality and higher magnification scope than what I currently have. My best scopes now are a Mk4 3.5-10 and a SS3-9. I am looking at the IOR SH edition 3-18. I have...

I have a buddy with a ultralight 300 weatherby mag, he wasnts to use 150gr bullets and has had a hard time getting anything to shoot decent out of it. He was told by the folks at weatherby, that the throat is even longer on the ultralight than a normal weatherby rifle to keep the pressure down...

I need a muzzle thread protector for a rifle I bought. It has 15mmx1.0 threads and I cant find one anywhere. Can someone with lathe access build me a basic protector if I send the length and O.D. measurement? Willing to pay for services, of course.

I'm looking for a new scope for my 5r. I have been looking at the VX3 line from leupold. I was thinking about the 4.5-14 in the 30mm tube. What scopes compare to this in this price range? I was thinking about the duplex reticle and having a CDS or M1 dial added. I dont do any tactical shooting...

Here's the deal. My cousin(12yrs old) agreed to mow my dad's grass this summer in exchange for a new bolt action hunting rifle of his choice. He wants a .308 because he has shot one before and I have a cool looking one. Not looking for a long range tactical or something too heavy to carry, what...

Anybody have any load data for .308 using this new powder? I caled Hornady and they have nothing yet.

I loaded up some 208Amax bullets last night and ried them this afternoon. I used hornady Match brass, cci200 primers. Here is the chrono results. Reloader 15 OAL 2.840 42.0=2415 43.0=2440 43.5=2490 Reloader 17 OAL 2.880 43.0=2277 44.0=2339 44.5=2346 45.0=2433 45.5=2451 No pressure...

I finally got a chance to test some of this new powder this weekend. I loaded up a few and tried them in my .308 with a 20" barrel I got around 2800 fps on a 40*F day. This powder is very consistent, I didn't chrono all the loads but the ones I did check were 2808, 2802, 2807, 2802, 2805. Here...

Do leuppy MK4 rings have any identifing marks? I have a set that are supposedly Leuppy extra high for a flattop AR. they wont tighten up on the rail. They dont fit any of my Pictanny rails.

I have a rem 700 SPS in .308 right now. I have a new friend that is a machinist/gunsmith and I decided to change the gun up a little. I cant decide what caliber I want to change the rifle to, I think I want to stay with something with the same boltface as the .308. I was thinking I want to keep...

I am considering a nice scope for a 7mmRM. It now has a Leuppy VX-II 4-12x40. I was looking to spend $600-$800. Tactical turrets would be nice for the real long shots,but I think the optical quality would be more useful.

I'm looking to replace the Mk4 leuppy I have. It is a 3.5-10x40 M3. I want to stay at or under 40mm objective. I was looking at the 2.5-10x32 NF. Are they a lot better than the Mk4? I also want to keep the M3 style turrets, as in tactical style not covered. Are there any other options in the...

short story: I wounded(probably fatally) a deer from a 300yd shot with my .308 tac, I found a lot of blood and saw the deer hit the ground and flop around, never found it. I couldn't get a second shot to finish it off, since when it was on the ground, I couldn't see it. It was only a doe, but...

Does anybody make a .22 mag barrel for the 597 HMR? I was thinking, instead of sending in the supposedly dangerous 17HMR, I could just change the barrel to .22 Mag and keep on shooting.

I bought one of the slim 9mm pistols, it shoots good and now I need a holster for it. I need a IWB holster and a belt or paddle holster. Anybody got one or know what holsters will fit?

I need a decent pair of binoculars for a christmas present for a relative. I prefer 10x but 8x would work if the image quality is better.
