    Need an M1A gunsmith to rebuild my OpRod Tab

    I'm having a problem with my op rod coming out of the track since the tab may be a bit worn. I'm tempted to replace it with a USGI part, but since you don't know how worn a used USGI part is anymore, I might as well have it rebuilt. Does anyone know who can weld and grind the tab back into spec?

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce NPR1 Reticle Problems

    Maybe it's just me, but does anyone think that the reticle is a bit too thin when you're sighting on a dark object? A couple weeks ago, I was shooting at a darker target at about 200 yards and had a hard time picking up the center of the crosshair. I had my Leupold 8.5-25x50 M1 MKIV and Vari X...

    Need Some Help Creating Elevation Table

    I'm looking for some basic help or to point me in the right direction. What I'm looking to do is work on my proficiency beyond 100 yards, including tables for elevation come up for 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1000 yards. Can anyone tell me what a 1" adjustment on my scope will...

    Need Advice: Side to Side Stringing

    I was up with my buddy at his hunting lodge today and we broke out our precision rifles. I noticed that his shots were generally good, but they were stringing from left to right. I got behind the trigger and promptly recorded a 6 shot left to right string as well. This is definitely not an...

    Why a Super Heavy Barrel?

    I've been doing more reading and picture viewing here than posting. One thing I've noticed is that it APPEARS as though a lot of you are running 1"+ diameter barrels on your rigs. I bought a Rem 40xc with what I'd consider an excessively heavy barrel and I took it out of the XC McMillan stock...

    Lee Enfield Sniper Rifle

    Hey guys, I'm in the process of acquiring a couple Enfields from an estate. One turned out to be a legit Enfield sniper rifle with scope in the metal box. The rifle is in excellent condition, rifling is bright and the optics appear pretty damn nice too. The only problem I can tell is that the...

    FN Patrol 308 fluted, Hogue Stock - Accurate?

    This popped up at my local gun shop. I'm pretty sure it was one of the CDNN Inv rifles sold awhile ago. Comes in a black hogue stock and is unfired. I'm only familiar with Rem 700's and Steyr's, so if you can let me know how this stacks up to Remington PSS rifles or similar, I'd appreciate...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold 8.5-25x50 M1 Mark IV Used Price?

    I purchased a new one a couple years ago for $700 and have since regretted it, even though it was replaced with a Nightforce. I have the opportunity to purchase from a "divorce sale" another one. It's used, in excellent condition and came off a Barret 82a1 with about 50 rnds down the bore...

    Rifle Scopes Up to 400 yards - what power scope?

    Solve one of the debates a friend and I have been having. We've been arguing about what is a smart power range on your optic for engagements up to 400 yards. With my eyes, I always like higher magnification, he thinks 10x is sufficient for any job. I just threw a 3.5-15x50 Nightforce on a...

    Building a lighter weight precision rifle in 308

    Hey, I'm new here, I was told to list a bunch of stocks for sale (PSS), but found that this site is pretty cool in the process! While I'm here, I might as well bounce a question off you knowledgable folks. I'm pondering an inexpensive 700 based build as a lightweight "fieldable" rifle...
