    let's see your 'rattlecan' stocks

    So how does it wear? Are you giving it a clear coat?

    let's see your 'rattlecan' stocks

    I've got a Remington 700 .300 Blackout with a B&C stock. The plain black isn't working for me, but don't want to drop any more coin than I have to (rather spend it on ammo). Let's see your 'rattlecan' spraypaint finished rifle stocks!

    need some rail help

    Hey guys, I have a Remington 700 in .300 Blackout in a Bell & Carlson tactical stock that I use pest control around my property. For use at night I currently have a small Streamlight TLR-1 mounted on top of my forward scope ring. It works, but it's not ideal. Looking around for some different...

    need advice on 1st precision rifle

    I've decided my next long gun is going to be a precision rifle. Most of my rifle experience has been with AR format guns in various calibers and so I've decided on a bolt action rather than an AR10 platform. I've had a Ruger 77 in .30-06 for years, but I don't feel hunting out to 300 yards is...

    Grendel SBR?

    Re: Grendel SBR? I just got mine put together recently. I haven't had a chance to chrono, or even shoot it past 25 yards yet, but it's fed, fired and ejected everything I've run through it so far. It's not as light or quick as my 10.5" 5.56, but it's a thumper. Mine sports a 12.5" Black...

    Rifle Scopes My new Falcon 1.5-5

    Re: My new Falcon 1.5-5 I recently picked one up for my DSA SA58 FAL. I just got the mount so I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but it looks promising.

    Rifle Scopes My new Falcon 1.5-5

    Re: My new Falcon 1.5-5 I went ahead and ordered one for my FAL. I take it from this discussion that Falcon has not improved the quality of their owner's manuals in the past few years.

    Rifle Scopes My new Falcon 1.5-5

    Re: My new Falcon 1.5-5 I've been looking for an optic for my 18" DSA SA58 and was originally thinking the new Vortex PST 1-4x would be a good optic. I haven't owned any Vortex scopes (though I do have a Strikefire), so I don't have any firsthand experience with them. I do have a Falcon...

    Black Hole Weaponry Barrels?

    Re: Black Hole Weaponry Barrels? I just got a 3-groove poly 12.5" barrel from them for my Grendel SBR build. I haven't shot it at distance yet, but so far so good.

    6.5 Grendel Questions / Worries

    Re: 6.5 Grendel Questions / Worries If you're going to stick with the AR15 platform then the Grendel is hard to beat. My first build was an 18"er that I plan to hunt with this year (it's a bit heavy so I don't plan to hike too far with it though). My current build is a 12.5" SBR. The...

    recommendations for a 'starter' package?

    Re: recommendations for a 'starter' package? My 'guesstimate' budget right now is around $1500. I won't buy cheap crap though. If I can't put together a decent starter kit for that I'll just have to be patient and save my pennies. Michael

    recommendations for a 'starter' package?

    Re: recommendations for a 'starter' package? Okay, so far I'm thinking a Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308 and a Vortex Viper PST 4-16x. Now a couple of questions... For the glass, I'm not real clear (no pun intended) on the whole FFP/SFP issue. What advantages am I going to get by...

    recommendations for a 'starter' package?

    Re: recommendations for a 'starter' package? Okay, so I've been checking out both the Remington website and Gunbroker. Why the big price difference between the XCR/5R and the SPS Tactical? Also, why are there hardly any bolt guns in .260 Remington? Michael

    I'm looking to get into long range shooting and would like some recommendations for a 'starter' bolt gun/optics package. (Yes, I've already searched a number of threads here and while there's a lot of good information it can tend to be rather conflicting at times.) I don't shoot competitively...
