    6.5x55 vs 6.5 creedmore

    Re: 6.5x55 vs 6.5 creedmore If you have not settled on a specific cartridge you might consider the Ackley version of the 6.5x55 Sweede. better case life because of improved shoulder, and if you want to push it, more velocity. I am sticking with a standard 6.5x55 because I already have the...

    Dads SPS out shoots mine.

    Re: Dads SPS out shoots mine. Factory Rem 700's are what they are, but I never seem to get the majic ones we read about her that shoot half MOA out of the box. I have had som good factory rifles, don't get me wrong. But you just cannot depend on sub moa from the factory and even if you have...

    Extra L/A McMillan A-5 stock/ What caliber?

    Re: Extra L/A McMillan A-5 stock/ What caliber? Yep, pretty much depends on what you have now, and what you want the new stick to do. I second the 6.5x55 Sweed plan and in fact have a left-hand version in the works right now to go into a Manners stock that I have waiting... got the chamber...

    Rifle Scopes should i go 34mm?

    Re: should i go 34mm? Scope tube diameter is one of the last thing I would select and I would select it based on application. For a rifle needing to conserve weight you probably do not want a 34 or 35mm tube, but if your are setting up a heavy (or mid-heavy) barrel rifle for precision work...

    Rifle Scopes nightforce 1-4 or wtf where should i be

    Re: nightforce 1-4 or wtf where should i be Decide which distances you will be shooting most, also how important is a quick snap shot? The red dot w/o the magnifier is very fast for close stuff, but good glass is an asset when you have a smaller target at distance, also concider weight and...

    Re: Jet mill Good selection! A couple years ago I was looking to get a full size milling machine after seeing the limitations of my small "drill mill". At work they had several Bridgeport mills, so I was looking for a good used Bridgport mill. I spent 8 monyhs looking at about a dozen used...

    Rifle Scopes Totally disgusted with Leupold

    Re: Totally disgusted with Leupold Terry, It bothers most of us, but for me (and others) it means my job. I work for Honeywell and they are outsourcing 80% of production to Malaysia this year. I have been with the company for 30 years, saw it grow from small to world leader in Avionics and...

    .260 out of an AR15

    Re: .260 out of an AR15 Using the AR15 lower receiver and fire control group with an alternate upper is nothing new and many have proven to give great accuracy. I shoot an ALS-50 (50BMG) on a AR15 single-shot lower and it is accurate enough to win Regional FCSA Matches. But for something...

    Fair price for GAP?

    Re: Fair price for GAP? $4,000 with the scope would be a sweet deal if someone is looking for this exact rifle. But in todays economy not many guys with $4k they WANT to spend. Me, I'm a lefty, I'd be better of with a lever-action 30-30.

    Suppressors 9mm SBR ?

    Re: 9mm SBR ? I am building a 9mm SBR with integrally suppressed 13" barrel (should be about the same length as your barrel with a can on the end of it). If you buy standard ammo with the 147 grain bullet it will be sub-sonic, there is no need to special load or pay high dollar for "special"...

    Rifle Scopes EXPENSIVE SCOPES!!!!!

    Re: EXPENSIVE SCOPES!!!!! I heard a wise shooters say, "I would rather have a good rifle fitted with and superb optics than a superb rifle with good optics". But $3000 for a S&B is too steep for my kind of plinking, I'm a Loopy fan but have a USO on my best stick. It ain't for sale...
