    At my last match (Brawl) I lugged my beautiful rifle over my shoulder but was not aware that the chassis was rubbing against other gear. See the pic for the result. What is the best way to make that look better ?

    Current AI production of left handed rifles

    Does anyone know which models and which calibers are currently being offered by AI in left handed actions. Checking both their website and calling mile high I am still left with lack of information. I would love to buy a LEFTY AI in 338, and a 260 or 6.5 cm right now.

    I am looking for some sort of laser dry fire training system to practice my dry fire on my AI 308. I have become a big believer that the majority of my training should be spent dry firing. However, I wonder if there are any type of systems that can document the "hit" on the target. Laser...

    One rifle and only one rifle

    There have been similar threads but not sure I have seen it asked this way so if it has been asked please forgive me. You can only have one bolt rifle. Only one. It can never be replaced. Once you have it you are stuck with it. No trades or sales. Only one in your lifetime. Which...

    Rifle Scopes Adjusting NIghtforce Zero Stop

    I am embarrassed to say I lost the manual to my new 5.5-22*50 NXS Nightforce. I was wondering if anyone can post the pics/instructions to reset the zero stop. Nightforce online manual mentions nothing about resetting/adjusting the zero stop. I feel like a bonehead.
