I have the above rifle up for trade for a 300WM Surgeon. I traded this for a DTR 300WM from the original owner; he only fired 60 rounds through it; I haven't shot it yet. There is nothing wrong with it; I'm just a Surgeon guy. I will throw in the scope (NXS 5.5x22 NP-R2 reticle) for an...

Good article from 2000 explaining the idea that traditional competitive shooters and snipers/tactical shooters have something to learn from each other and that the disciplines compliment each other. I didn't write it but, think it's an interesting read especially as "precision rifle"...

I just finished up my 20 years in the Marine Corps just accepted a position in north Atlanta (Suwanee), and can't wait to get there and settle down. That being said, I'd like to get some advice on where to shoot (and dispose of my bullet buttons) once there. Any guidance would be...

Okay, I'm baffled about the problem I encountered today at the range. I brought two ARs to the range, a Seekins Precision lower with an HK MR556 upper and a bone stock M&P15 Tactical. I loaded the first mag in the Seekins/HK and it would not fire (it didn't even dent the primer). I then...

I'm getting ready to retire from the Marine Corps and am planning on moving to either Charlotte or Savannah. I just finished with an interview in Savannah about two hours ago...my wife is being flown out for an interview in Charlotte in about two weeks. I expect to be in a position where we...

All- My wife and I are planning on moving to the SE after I retire from the Corps this summer. Charlotte is on our short list as far as where we'd like to move. I need advice as to where around the city we should look to live. I'm a country kid from Michigan and grew up with a woods to hunt...

Very interesting article from 2000 explaining the idea that traditional competitive shooters and snipers/tactical shooters have something to learn from each other and that the disciplines actually compliment each other. I hope this is in the correct section, it seemed to fit here best...

I just got my 6.5 Creedmoor M40A3(ish) rifle back from Short Action Customs and it is awesome. The specs are: Surgeon action Krieger heavy varmint contour McMillan A4 with EFR (purchased from a hide member) Badger bottom metal and rings NF FF1 with zero stop 3-15x50 CG trigger Mark from...

What do you still do as a result of your Drill Instructor? Ex: I still never carry anything in my right hand and have a hard time walking on grass...

Model 12 F-Class 6 BR. My dad installed a Bench Source 0 MOA Picatiny scope mount, Kelby wide standard height rings holding a Nightforce Benchrest 12-42x-56 scope. He zeroed it at 100 yards and the scope elevation showed 36 MOA. This weekend we shot a 600 yard match, but could not add enough...

This rifle has been a little bit of an odyssey, it started life in a McMillan A-5, then a Mc Crees Precision, then back to the McMillan and now finally the AICS AX. My goal is to completely do away with bedding. I’ve included pictures, hopefully to answer any questions about dimensions and...

I'm getting ready for another build and started thinking of having some spare barrels made so I can switch calibers and/or replace as I shoot them out. Then I started thinking about the care that needs to be taken to take the action out of the stock to change the barrel or other maintenance...

...Okay here's the deal. I was wondering how the Sierra 142MK would perform in the 6.5 Creedmoor. I've been having trouble finding the 140 A-Max to load in my new rifle, but have a lot of 142's that I shoot in my 6.5x284. My results were that the 142's out performed the 140 A-Max by quite a...

Has anyone loaded the 142 SMK in the 6.5 Creedmoor? Please give me some loads if so. Thank you!

I was wondering how a bone stock TRG 22 shoots compared to high-end custom tactical rifles. I know that there will be many opinions out there and I in NO WAY intend to start any kind of online argument. I'm simply wondering if a factory TRG is comparable to a high end custom (some of the...

I hope this is the correct thread for this. I was wondering if anyone could give me a good gunsmith to modify (tactical) an 870...I have a pretty good handle on riflesmiths but have no idea where to turn to get a shotgun worked on. Please advise...thanks.

I Just got this in the email, thought it was kind of funny...and true. 1. Grampa and Cody Typically an older white guy and his sniveling grandchild (or similar junior relation). Grampa is trying to teach Cody (or Jody, or Brody, or whatever crap name the kid has) how to shoot with a 1950’s era...

The rifle: My first decent attempt at the range with the 6.5 Creedmoor. Specs: Surgeon action 1-8 Lilja barrel McCree stock Nightforce 5.5-22x56 Badger rings smithing done by Alan Warner shooting 140 Amax

I need help....I don't have a lot of time on the net this week to research and I have an event this weekend. I need a PROVEN Varget load for a 140 A-Max (6.5 Creedmoor) in a bolt gun (Surgeon action/26" barrel). I have the load data sheet from Hornady that shows the reloading data/load range...
