Took an intermediate distance course this summer (400-600 yards) and loved trying out the various 16" and 18" semi-auto .308s others brought to class. Given where I live, 600-800 is the limit I will be shooting at for the foreseeable future. So I went ahead and recently bought an AR10 lower and...

Have been looking for quite some time for my AR, and have seen all kinds of reticles (donuts, donuts with dots (like the FC-2), crosshairs, mildots with various part lit up, the Trijicon triangle, the SWFA three-bar, etc)... Anything out there currently or close to release that equates to an...

I believe the first post I had on here asking about how to go about doing a custom build was 3-4 years ago. Then after making up my mind on what I wanted, started the process off by waiting five months on a group buy (Surgeon RSR action). This was followed by a 22 month stretch where I was...

For those of you who have had a custom rig built, do all of you shoot reloads, or do you use match factory ammo? I have reloaded for 3 years on a progressive (RCBS 2000) for my .223 ARs, but to do .308s right will take a lot of new equipment: single-stage press, ball-mic, hand primer, match...

I know the cardinal rule that your glass is the key. However, in the middle of my custom build (I posted about this about 18 months ago) I lost my job and everything had to be postponed. Back in the workforce as of January, I just got my rifle delivered and am sending out the check for the...

I read this article (it is a book excerpt) this morning where it mentions that most of the kills done by this sniper team (using an AI L96) were at 1200 meters. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/8376808/Dead-Men-Risen-The-snipers-story.html Isn't that the extreme range of a 308? It...

Wanting to get more involved in precision shooting (taking a course at Rifles Only, tactical matches, etc), last year I decided to get my first "serious" rifle. I bought one of the new Surgeon rounded actions, a Mike Rock barrel, and B&C A5-like stock and had it sent off to a top gunsmith...

After a lot of research, I was dead set on purchasing an FFP scope. However, yesterday I read an article online (written by a member from here) that talked about how the FFP is ideal for a tactical scope, while for shooting tight groups at long ranges at your local range or competition, the...

Here is what I have at my gunsmith right how: 1. 24" Mike Rock 5R barrel with 11.27 twist, bead blasted to match action 2. The new round bottom short Surgeon action (from the SH group buy) in 308 with recoil lug, 20MOA scope base, and chromed bolt 3. Jewell trigger 4. Seekins DBM 5. Bell and...

I always shoot with a buddy who has a high-end Kowa spotting scope. Recently he told me he's moving across the country. Meanwhile, I'm putting all my available money into my new rig and new scope over the next year, so when I see spotting scopes running upwards of $1,000 I get worried. I...
