    Help Identifying Scope Ring Rail, Please

    Afternoon gents, It's been a while, but have considered getting back into precision shooting. As part of the effort, I picked up an old Mark 4 at a police auction. The scope came with Mark 4 rings, and a top ring rail of some kind. I haven't a clue what it is. I figure if anybody would...

    Tikka T3 Thread

    It's been much too long (years) since I've done any precision shooting, and I'm uncertain whether I have the time to get back into it . . . but I did line up an Elk hunt out to CO next year, and I'd like to pick up a Tikka to take out there. I'm partial to the 7MM Rem Mag, and my plan is to...

    Which Folding Stock is Best?

    I'm building a Rem. 700 SA with an 18" Bartlein. I'd like it to be compact for back-packing and other travel, so I'm looking for a folding stock. I don't have an opportunity to try any of them out, an they're all a bit pricey, so I'm looking to tap some of the expertise on this site. So . . ...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns I was considering a Sig P220.. but now I'm not so sure.

    I've got a question for someone who's owned many P220s (Sorry if this is hijacking the thread). Last year, I picked up a nice looking P220, two-tone with night sights. This is going to sound terrible, but I haven't had the chance to shoot it yet, so it remains unfired. My intention, however...

    FNH SPR - To rebarrel or not to rebarrel?

    Money isn't as much of an issue as having a usable rifle that I'm very proud of.

    FNH SPR - To rebarrel or not to rebarrel?

    I picked up an FNH SPR A5M on trade a year or so ago, always intending to get some custom work done to it. It's currently sporting the original 24" heavy varmint (bigger actually) barrel. I imagine it to be blissful to shoot at the range, at which it will spend most of it's time. But I'd...

    Rifle Scopes Absolute Best Fixed Power Scope?

    Okay, so I know I'm going to get some negative feedback about this, as variables, today, are quite good. I just have a preference for a nice 10X scope for range play. Here's the order of importance for me: 1 - Glass 2 - Durability 3 - Mil/Mil with repeatable adjustments 4 - A good...

    Rifle Scopes Government ACOG???

    Hi all, I picked up an ACOG off a Hide member about two years ago, and the tritium is getting pretty weak. I'd really like to send it back to get it replaced, taking advantage of the lifetime warranty. That said, I'm a bit nervous that I may have purchased a bring-back from somebody's...

    Gunsmithing Carbon fiber wrapped barrel?

    Okay. Last question (I think). I've got an unfired SPR. It an older version though. I've been considering replacing the barrel with something lighter. Should I just man-the-fuck-up and learn to hump the 24" bull barrel? (Note-it's a wee bit hard for me to hold that sucker steady, off...

    Hi all - I recently picked up an older unfired FN SPR on trade, and I' considering doing some modifications to make it my go-to long range hunting rifle. It's currently sporting a heavy assed 24" barrel. I'm looking to replace that with a 19" carbon fiber wrapped barrel. Can someone...
