Well guys, I got my new Remington 700 AAC-SD from my one time discounted purchase from Remington for attending the 700 Armorer course.....the price was too good no to take advantage of.....first of all the Hogue stock was crap & I spent probably half an hour taking a Dremel to it to free up the...

Over the past few weeks, I've been piddling around with making a good accurate subsonic load.....mainly for shits & giggles, but also when I finally get my suppressor, I wanted to already have a good load developed. Before starting I did extensive research on the Snipers Hide Google search...

Guys, I have no experience with suppressors, so I'm hoping you might be able to answer a question. I just finished up another Sniper training class & one of my classmates was issued a rifle from his Dept. that was made by Iron Brigade Armory. It came with a Surefire Suppressor & the attachment...

Well, back in 2004 I was shot while on duty by an 20 yr. old punk who was in a stolen truck with 3 other losers. He shot at me 3 times (hit me once), then shot at 2 other officers about 12 times (no hits) before he was shot. The idiot was shot across the back of the head & 4 times in the...

Well, I came across this rifle last week in my local store & kind of got "hooked" by it. I really wanted the Mark II series TRR-SR rifle, since it was bolt action & has the AccuTrigger, but it runs about $560 & my local store couldn't find one in stock from their distributor......and this one I...

I just wanted to relate my incredible experience I had today with Mr. Robert Gradous of Gradous Rifles. I posted in the Gunsmithing forum the other day about my disappointment with my recent Armorer course I had just taken. Well, Mr. Gradous contacted me out of the blue & extended a wonderful...

Well, I just finished attending a Remington taught 700 Armorer course.....what a scam. $200 just so I can sit & watch a few PowerPoint presentations. All they "taught" me was how to take the bolt apart to get to the Firing Pin assembly. Wow....(took about 5 seconds...) The only "repairs"...

For all you gunsmiths out there who have been working around various metals for years.....what color should titanium look like? I always thought it was either light gray in color or dark gray like steel.....but not bright & shiny like aluminum. Can anyone answer this question? My shooting...

I recently had a local gunsmith do a bedding job & stock stiffing job on my old Savage 300 Win Mag. This was just a beater rifle that I picked up for $150.....so I ain't looking at it being a precision rifle. However, I figured that making the stock stiffer to free-float the barrel and maybe a...

I got to enjoy a fun Saturday morning shooting with a buddy of mine last weekend. We were doing some shooting from 500-900 yards, & I was testing a new load with the 155 Lapua Scenar bullets I put together. I had my Canon digital camera on a tripod looking through my spotting scope on a second...

I was going to experiment with doing some handloads for my Remington 700 VLS in .223. The barrel is a 26 inch bull & it is 1/12 twist. I was planning on experimenting with the Hornady 68 grain BTHP bullets but I've discovered that they are only recommended for a twist rate of 1/10 or faster...

I know this topic has been debated several times & some people believe that a match grade bullet should be used for long range hunting because it's more accurate. Other's...(me included) believe these BTHP aren't the best rounds to be shooting at animals and a ballistic tipped bullet should be...

Anyone here every reloaded ammmo to shoot through a replica of the Browning M1918 BAR? I'm assuming that reloading regular 30-06 ammo should be fine for range shooting, but I wonder if there is something more when shooting it through this particular rifle? No luck in the search box......any...

I've done a search on the search engine here, but can't seem to find any thread related to load data for the Hornady 68 grain VMAX bullets. I was planning on loading these in Mil-Spec cases like Lake City Arsenal..... Anyone here ever loaded this bullet? I'll be running them through...

One of my fellow co-workers was at our Dept.'s range last week and he was checking the scope on his Winchester Model 70 .270 WSM rifle. He bought the rifle new a few years ago & has only used it for hunting purposes....no tactical stuff or target shooting. So he has only put like 2 or 3 boxes...

Hey guys, I just came into possession of a Savage 111 in 300 Win Mag for $150 bucks. Too good of a deal to pass up.....The rifle is in the cheap, flimsy, plastic Savage stock & it has the normal skinny sporter barrel. So far with factory ammo, it's shooting between & 1.5" & 2" groups at 100...

Has anyone had any experience with bullets drift when there is literally no wind?? I have been slowly developing drop data for my Dept. rifle (Rem 700P) over the last year. I have shot in 50 yard increments out to 1000 yards with a 100 yard zero. My drop data for 400 yards is 8.0 moa up. I...
