Thanks to you guys this addiction is now including rimfire rifles. I have been researching rifles to use as a trainer and was really close to getting a CZ 455 with a Manners stock. I have read a few posts about people "stepping up" from their CZ's to an Anschutz, and figured that I would try to...

Guys I just wanted to share something I came across today while getting my rifles ready for new scopes. I noticed that you could put the rifle in the chassis and tighten it down canted if you don't pay attention. The pictures show the rifles after I fixed them, but one was a quarter bubble off...

Is it just me, or does is seem that there is a flood of new members coming here to vent about their problems with one Company or another. Maybe its just the economy, lots of people sitting at home with nothing better to do???? How about another Rule...A new members first ten posts have to be...

Guy have a Sako TRG stock to paint and I want to get it back to it's original condition, which is a light texture on the whole stock. It looks to me that they use sand in their sealant coat or paint. Has anyone used sand between coats of paint to give their rifle texture? I have seen sand used...

Guys, I just purchased a used rifle and it is need of a paint job, it appears that it is on it's third coat of paint including the factory color. The topcoat was Krylon or something similar because it came off with stripper, the tan is a better paint and it is still holding on pretty well. My...

Guys I am shooting 7mmo8 and I am currently FL sizing and setting up my die to only bump the shoulder back about .004 but I am still resizing the neck too much. I am considering getting a shoulder die and then using my Lee neck sizer to size the neck. Midway is out of stock so I was considering...

I recieved a call at the store the other day from a customer, who happens to be a welder and a shooter. He was looking for a "bad ass tig welder", I didn't exactly fit the description but I couldn't resist on asking why. It seems he got a wild hare and welded a new bolt handle on his Rem 700...

Guys, with Europtics having a sale on their TRG in 338 Lapua Magnum, I was wondering what the bolt face would be compatible with, as I would consider purchasing the rifle and spinning a new barrel on it, the reloading manual I have doesn't have anything on it and I'm tooo lazy to Google search...

Guys, I have just over 200 rounds through my new Benchmark barrel, so I thought it was time to try a ladder test and see what the barrel really likes, I got up early and tried to get to the range before the wind really picked up. Rifle: Sako TRG rebarreled to 7mm08, 26" 3 groove 1-9 twist...

I listed this in another thread last night, but I thought I would creat it's own thread and move it so it will be easier to reference in the future. Ok guys, I got my Pro Ears Predator Gold muffs today, (they were delayed by weather) so I ran to the range at lunch to fire some shots and give...

Ok guys I couldn't find any information on these primes so I thought I would be the test dummy. I just purchased powder and primers from Powder Valley and they didn't have my CCI primers in stock so I went for the Tula special they had, buy 5000 and get free shipping. I am using the Tula large...

It is not exactly a new rifle but is new to me with low round count, purchased from a Hide member this morning. It was about 34 deg with a slight breeze, and I shot my 175 SMK load with about 1/2 moa accuracy, I will have do some developement for this rifle. One thing I did notice is that my 175...

I am about ready to make the plunge, but would like to hear your thoughts on either reticle, I will be using it on a .308 shooting steel out to 1,000 yards, and I would like the ability to range with it. I am wondering if the NP-R1 reticle is tooo busy. Next question, 50MM or 56MM objective...

First off I wanted to thank LOSTANGLE for selling me such a fine rifle at a great price. I got the rifle on Friday and took the scope and rings off my other 5R so I could take it to the range for some testing. Let me share a little story, about a Month ago I was searching for a new stock for my...

It was a nice day today so I went to the range and shot a target to share here. I forgot exactly what the requirements were, but I thought that 5 groups of 5 shots should be enough. The rifle is more capable than me, a few of those shots I called to be "pulled" as the trigger broke. The five...

I recieved my rifle last week that I bought from HOGGHEAD (another first class guy) here on the Hide. It is a Rock River Arms LAR-15 with a 20" SS bull barrel. I gave it a once over and mounted my Bushnell 6 X 24 x 50 Tactical on top, for the mean time it will share scopes with my DPMS LR .308...

I was at the range this morning and I guy sets up at the bench next to me. He has a tricked out M1A1 with some kind of chassis stock. After our introductions he begins to tell me about his Awesome scope and how it is a $2,000. scope that they are selling for only $400. He carries on about how it...

I just picked up a rifle off of Gun Broker, it is a DPMS LR that has the barrel fluted, threaded and chopped to 20", with a Troy rail installed. I also installed an RRA 2 stage trigger. It stated that it had less then 200 rounds down the pipe, and I would agree with the overall condition of the...

Guys, I have a Colt Competition Match Target rifle, and I was wondering if I would be able to change the upper with any of similar cartrige, or do I have to have a Colt? I don't fully understand where the "Large Pin" comes into play. Thanks, SScott

Here is what I am trying to do. I currently have a competition die set for .223 pn 37201, friction type. I am looking to purchase the parts to convert it to .308. My question to those that have the .308 set. Are you using an extended Base or will the standard base work? Thanks, SScott
