    Remington 700 5R 24" threaded 300 WM

    Noticed these are available from a number of distributors. Anyone have any experiences, good or bad? Looks like a good value set up with the potetial for uprgrades over time. Good budget rifle. Alternative is to purchase a TRG 42 in 300 mag and have the wife go ballistic. Cost benefit seems...

    How accurate can you make a 10-22?

    I relize you can't make a 10-22 into a Tanner or an Anschutz, but how accurate are the bull barrel models?

    Gunsmithing Springfield O3A4 Gunsmiths

    With the NRA now supporting the Vintage Sniper Rifle match, who could build a good match grade A4? Action, barrels and stocks seem obtainable, scope mounts are scarce but not unobtainable. Scopes are scarce too, but can be found too. So if you want a good shooter who would you have build it...

    RWS 300 Win Mag Brass

    Anyone use this brass? Is it that superior to prepped Win or Remmy brass? Where do you source this brass? Bruce Baer of Williamsport fame is one of the advocates of the RWS lines of brass. Apparently lasts a long time. Anyone?

    Mega Improvement to AICS 2.0

    What would you think about: Carbon fiber skins to replace the existing AICS skins, and, either a drilled out internal frame chassis or better yet, titanium frame chassis. 5 position I would buy one. Completely eliminate the issue with weight. Then again, the Ashbury Chassis is pretty much the...

    Leica Geovid

    So I am thinking of selling or trading in a bunch of fine optics for a 10x42 Leica Geovid. Should I do it? The way I figure, I would have to get rid of: Swarovski 10x42 SLC binos with strap, tripod mount and case Zeiss 8x30 Dialyt with case Zeiss 8x25 with case Leupold Mark 4 4.5x14 Mil Dot...

    If you had only 10 rifles what would they be?

    Okay, if you could only own 10 rifles (because of space and budget) what would you own and why? I'll start: 1. CSS R5 6mm BR beacause I need an unbeatable HP set up. 2. AR 15 Mark 12 Model 0. Mark 4 and Aimpoint sights. 3. M1A NM because I like them. 4. M1 Garand because they ruled the...

    Best Work Out Drink for cardio, strength and plyo

    Instead of sipping water, I've been using XTend. Loaded with BCAA's and Citrulline. Tastes good and seems to help with recovery. I find this drink helpful when doing cardio, strength and plyometric training. Not too good for endurance events like cycling and long distance running as there's no...

    Gunsmithing WD 40

    Okay, I hate to say, but I keep coming back to this stuff and admit that it works and is cheap. Doesn't smell, not too toxic and works great for certain applications. I had my bullseye pistol smith tell me decades ago that WD 40 was great for general bullet cleaning on the 1911 other than the...

    Killer Exercise and Shooting Regime

    Found a good cardo and strength exercise to combine with trips to the range. Raises the heart rate and over the course of the day, gives you value added to your range training. Makes positional shooting tougher. Try it a few times and then shoot your normal routine and you'll think the rifle is...

    AICS 2.0

    Is it me or has anyone else found the AICS 2.0 SA is a heavy stock and kinda awkard to use for some positions like offhand and kneeling? Are there any other good all postion stocks? Had a MM Billy Baker stock which was ok. Have the H&S PST 025 on a H&S HTR which is good, but not quite perfect...

    Creatine or Kre-alkalyn

    So what are your thoughts on creatine vs its buffered version, Kre-alkalyn? I've been utilizing the buffered version and find it works well with no side effects. I've had a couple of people advise me that creatine monohydrate is a much better way to go. Not sure as creatine requires higher...

    LMT SOPMOD Stock

    Just installed a pre-owned first generation LMT SOPMOD stock I bought for a deal. Used the LMT buffer tube. Up to now, have been partial to the VLTOR stocks for my AR as I've found them more comfortable and lighter than the Magpul's I've tried. I know its personal preference to a large extent...

    260 Remington Barrel Length

    I have a 260 Remington GAP Surgeon with a 27 inch barrel in a AICS 2.0. Barrel is a No. 7 Bartlein fluted cerrakoted barrel. Rifle is a laser with incredible velocity , but is too darn cumbersome. So, I am looking at cutting the barrel back to something more practical. Barrel only has 1000...

    55 gr fmbt or 62 gr fmjbt for general practice

    For the 223 in an 14.5-16 inch AR M4 type 1x7 twist platform, what are your thoughts on the optimum fmj bt bullet weight for practice ammo? Both 55 and 62 gr fmjbt are available in quantity at reasonable prices. No, these are not Sierra Matchkings and I wouldn't buy them as such. Looking at...

    Anyone use a Mark 4 1.5x5 MR M2 Illum. Scope?

    Looking at scoping my 16 inch carbine using a La Rue SPR qd mount. I know the S&B 1.1x4 cqb is probably the best, but its a little out of my budget. Looking at about a sub $1000 scope. Meopta, Trijicon make good scopes in this range, but I can't seem to get my brain to accept the reticle in...
