Re: question on htg adjustable cheek .10 in tape. Should have splurged and bought the camo tactical tape. Guaranteed to tighten groups by .25 moa - LOL

Re: Wife's new hunting rifle. I really like that finish on the stock. I use boiled linseed as well but never get the look you attained. Mine usually get a little shiny. How did you get the finish you have. What brand boiled linseed did you use? Really like the look. WOW.

Re: mauser 98 action FWIW worth. I have several Rem 700, 30-06, 308, 243, ect. Had the mauser action and pondered for a while. In fact when i bought it it was rechambered to 8-06. Never used it. Always hunted with 30 yr old 700 in 30-06 o bought for $200. Ok what did i do with the MAuser...

Sorry if this is or has been covered elsewhere, but where can you buy a Falcon Scope. Seem to be rather popular here ( I know it not a Leupold or Night Force) but seems to be popular substitute. I checked on line and dont see where they are sold.

Ordering my fifle tomorrow. Any tips on trigger adjustment (assuming it needs it)greatly appreciated.

Re: Need help on .22 selection Guys, Thank you for all the great info. I will most likley buy the Savage. The question is to buy the thin barrel (per Savage made for Dicks Sporting exclusivey) for $149.99 or buy the same rifle but heavy barrel as shown on the web site for 299.00. Decision time.

I would like to get a bolt .22 to plink and even use in .22 tactical matches. Distances to 200yrds. I have narrowed to the following: 1. Savage dont know number its the heavy barrel with thumb hole 2. Savage skinny barrel no thumb whole My preference is for a heavy barrel and NO thumbhole. Is...

I finally bought the Krylon fusion camo paints and went at my 5R stock. Initially tried to do camo pattern with painters tape similat to the m40 mcmillan stocks i see here. Well the tape kept peeling the paint. maybe if i waited a day or so but dont have that patience. Ultimatley ended up with a...

Re: My rifle shoots like a shotgun! For what its worth. My set up is a 98 Mauser action with a shilen barel. Barrel specs as follows: 4 countour, 1-9 twist cut to 18 inches. On tops sits a Luepold 2.5x8. I use 120 ballistic tips with fed 210m primers, winc brass (full length resize) and IMR...

Re: My 5R got a makeover Awsome paint job. What paint did you use?

Kinda goes to the age old question why does one park in a driveway and drive on a parkway. Here is my question: The isssue m16 i believe has a flash suppressor. That said the 16 is basically a general issue weapon used either from cover or if necessary in the open. On the other hand sniper...

Re: Totally disgusted with Leupold ok i have a question now. I have a Tasco SS 16x on a 5R and am relatively happy. That said all of my huntiung rifles sprt Leupolds either Vari XII ir VXII's. I can see a signifnat improvement in the Leupold over the SS and was considering a Mark 2 in 6.5x20...

Re: To clean or not to clean.. Is there a true answer I agree totally with Greg Langalious (sorry for mispell). The carbon left from gun paowder acts as a moisture magnet. I have several hunting rifles all purchased used (great deals). The story was the same every time gun on outside looked...

i was recently on gun broker and someone is advertising a new 5r in 223. I know it has been discussed here as a request/potential new rifle but has remington actually produced it yet? As i have not seen it here i am doubtful but i am sure if it is avialable then somone on the Hide will know...

Re: History Channel - Sniper Cattle Buyer, Thank you. I agree this is a great looking rifle.

I was watching the history chanel i believe it was One Shot One Kill or Sniper. I am sure others have seen the same one. My question is this: There were a few scenes with what appeared to be a Winch Mod 70 (no surprise) but the scope on too was a vintage looking unertl with the external...

Re: Help with Bipod Finally got out and tried the advice. I did exactly as someone mentione d here. I got right behind the gun, acquired my natural PA and began shooting. As i only have a 200 yd rnge i used 1 inch and 2 inch dots. Very difficult but very challanging and fun. I only hit the...
