    Can Tikka 5rd mags convert to a 10rd mag?

    I've got a Tikka T3X CTR in 308 and I'd like another 10rd mag or two. The 10rd mags seem to be out of stock, and I do see some 5rd mags laying around. Is it just the follower that makes it a 5rd mag or are there detents in the steel body. I'm hoping that there's either some easy way to...

    Point me towards a "Competition" worthy pistol.

    So I find myself doing more and more competitions where a sidearm is required. I'm talking about matches like Mammoth, Major Land, Guardian Team matches, etc. I'm not strictly a pistol only competition guy. I'm more of a rifle competition guy who also has to be able to shoot a pistol on...

    Recommend the most American made 30-06 for an elk hunt

    Odds are pretty good I'm going elk hunting next year. I've got plenty of rifles, but most of them are geared towards the tactical or competition side and not really setup to be lightweight going up and down steep hills. On the one hand, this is going to be a gun that might end up sitting under...

    Thoughts on pricing used custom rifles?

    I'm trying to get my head around pricing a used custom rifle. I've bought and sold plenty of guns before, but never a custom rifle. Part of me wonders if it's even worth going through the process of selling something custom as a whole, or if there's some way to part it out. I just don't know...

    Need help setting my CTR for night vision varmint hunting

    Hello, I've got a CTR in 308 that I'm pretty happy with. I'm not in love with the factory stock, and I've been looking at replacing it. One of the options I've been looking at is the KRG Bravo and while looking at it and sorting through all the options for accessories I stumbled across the...

    Good / Reliable 6.5 for PRS matches?

    I'm looking ahead at the 2023 Mammoth, and this year I have a new partner who's going to run a 308. That said, I'm going to run a 6.5cm. The 6.5cm I have I love it dearly, but all in weighs around 17#. I've been kicking around the idea of a semi auto 6.5cm because generally they seem to be a...

    I need a recommendation for a better 308.

    I'm looking for a good, solid 308 I can count on and I just don't know everything available in the market today. I want something heavy enough that it shoots well, light enough I can use it at a rucking event like mammoth, but accurate enough I'm doing more than just blowing through ammo at...

    I could use some advice on a semi 6.5cm

    I'm looking for a semi auto 6.5 creedmoor that I can take to matches, but isn't so dedicated to matches that I won't take it hunting because it weighs 16#'s. I enjoy shooting Guardian matches, and in January will do my second Mammoth. I like accurate rifles and shooting matches more for fun...

    Who's got time and experience behind a RPR in 338L

    I'm looking at a RPR in 338 Lapua. The reason is because I've been shooting out to 1,000 yards for a decade and would like to take a 3,000 yard class. I'll be handloading, and already have some lapua brass, redding type s dies, but have really been trying to figure out which exact rifle I'd...

    New to reloading 338 Lapua, but not new to reloading questions.

    Hello, I've been reloading my own ammo since 2002 when I was younger and dumber and thought I needed a 300 RUM because that's what all the gun magazines were saying that I should get for an elk hunt. I got into reloading with an RCBS rock chucker kit to save money on the $2 plus trigger pull I...

    Where do you look for a "lightweight" rig? Sub 10#?

    I'm still preparing for 2020 Mammoth and so far, I've dropped 15# and competed in my first prs style rifle match which was the Guardian in Mi. I'm happy with all my gear I currently have, but as a guy who's also gone on several backpacking trips I understand the importance of weight when going...

    DPMS Mark 12 308's are in, what do you think?

    I got a phone call today saying that the DPMS Mark 12 308's are in. I've been wanting to get my hands on one ever since I saw them advertised on the website. It has every option that I'd want and none that I don't. Features: 18" teflon coated stainless barrel Free floated rails 6 position...

    Rock RIver Varmint A4's; Range Reports & Opinions?

    Hello, I've been considering buying a Rock River Varmint A4 in either 16" or 18". I'd like to use it at the range as an accurate medium range target rifle. Not looking for competitions or 1000 yard shooting with it, but I'd like the gun to be accurate. I've used the search function and...

    Making a civilian M16A4

    Hello, I've been looking into what I can find for a civilian version of the M16A4. I've looked at the colt 6700 and the bushmaster target rifles. I do live on a budjet and can't go too crazy here either. I want the rifle to have a flash suppresor, free float foreend, and a flattop, but...

    Advanced Marksmanship What’s your long range shooting procedure?

    When you show up to the range do you just sit down and start shooting or do have a procedure that you follow? What I mean by that is, do you show up and start measuring the temp, barometric pressure, obviously wind, and the other stuff? I’ve been shooting long range for about a year and a half...

    Can I match up my Lapua brass load with Remington

    Currently I use lapua brass for my 30-06 handloads. I recently bought a good amount of 30-06 remington brass and would like to load them up to match my existing loads as closely as possible. I’m doing this just to have the extra ammo there if I need it. I’ll probably just keep the Remington...

    Rifle Scopes What makes a scope good in your opinion?

    I’ve been going through the process of sorting through all the many scopes out there to find the one I decide is right for me. In my case I’m looking for a scope that I can use from 100 yards to 1000 yards when I go shooting just for fun. I’m not a competitor, and I’m not on a team where...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone using a weaver classiv V 6-24?

    I am thinking about buying a new scope for use at the range only and to be used for long range shooting. I used to have a weaver classic v 4-16 fine reticle and it was a great scope, but I got rid of it when I sold a rifle. That's why I'm considering buying a classic v 6-24 mil-dot. All I...

    What new trigger to put in my DPMS 223?

    I have a DPMS 223 and I while it shoots great, there is still something to be desired in the trigger. I was thinking either a RRA 2 stage or a Timney drop in. I'd like to get to 3#. Any recommendations?
