    Range Report Laminating dope cards - best baseline variables?

    So I'm laminating some dope charts that I printed from JBM - and my default one is currently using the altitude for my range and conditions for general fall weather: 50 degrees, 28.0 in HG, 25% humidity. Wondering if I should stick with these variables or use some other baseline variables...

    which triggers fit an AICS without inletting?

    Got an AICS 1.5 stock here that needs a new trigger. Rem700 action. I've heard that Jewell triggers require inletting - true? What about Timney? I won't buy any Rifle Basix triggers after my last experience with them.

    Maggie’s Gun Non-Expert goes to Pakistan gun market

    Here's a video that was just posted on Reddit for discussion. Basically this guy from Vice magazine goes to a gun market in Pakistan and blah blah blah. Apparently we're all supposed to be really surprised and shocked that this market exists. It's also a great example of the reason why insurgent...

    Rifle Scopes Thoughts on the Barrett BORS for Nightforce NXS

    Hey all, I've been doing a lot of searching and haven't seen any threads on the BORS unit that Barret makes. Anyone have experience with this device - is it worth the money? Obviously it takes a lot of fact finding and dope reference out of the game but I can see where it would come in handy...

    Don't shop at MileHighShooting.com - no HTTPS/SSL

    Was just about to buy some goods at their online store and I got to the payment screen where you put in the credit card info and noticed that their site isn't using HTTPS / SSL encryption. This means that all of your billing info goes across the internet without encryption and thus very...

    Gunsmithing How much do gunsmiths make on salary/hour?

    Hey all, I'm trying to get my younger brother into a productive employment path he is interested in being a gunsmith. It's either that or he's interested in what I do, which is database engineering and technical operations architecture (totally different direction for education). So, how much...

    Hey everyone. I've been searching but cannot find a list of specific colors to use to get the proper desert camo look. So I figured I'd just buy a bunch of the ones that looked proper over at the suplus store. Advice needed - I've got a AICS stock coming in next week that I want to paint, but...

    New SPS for my collection - thoughts on upgrades?

    Hi all, Just picked up this stick from the shop today. Rem SPS 700 varmint heavy barrel. I mounted one of my Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 scopes and, well, that's about it. It's running a 20MOA base. It's nothing special right now but I'm wondering if the following would be proper for...

    Rifle Scopes Ruger MK77 MKII Target will not clear 56mm scope

    Just a quick note for anyone that owns one of these guns and is thinking about putting a scope with a 56mm lens - the Super High Leupold rings will NOT allow the scope to clear the barrel by about 2-3mm. They just need to be a little bit higher. (yeah I know some people don't like leupy these...

    Kestrel MOLLE pouch?

    Hey all. So I'm finally buying a kestrel as my keen sense of 'lick my finger and hold it in the air' to test the wind direction has been failing me as of late. So I've seen a molle pouch on amazon specifically for the kestrel but they only have it in black and I need it in digital desert or...

    LRF 1000+yrds - are they available?

    I currently have a Leupold RX-III true ballistics rangefinder that says it will range to 800 yards. Does anyone know if there are other LRFs with ballistics that go to 1000+ yards? Would also be nice to have one that is more than 8x magnification.

    Best upper+barrel combo for turning an M4 into a..

    So I have this Bushmaster M4 with a 16.5" barrel and A1 receiver. I want to get a new barrel and flat-top A3 style upper with a flat/picatinny gasblock that I can use for long range varmint / paper hunting.

    Reasons and drawbacks for painting a rifle?

    Been seeing a lot of nice rifles that have been krylon'd everywhere (scope, bolt, mag, barrel, trigger) - and then a lot that only have the stock painted. So I'm wondering why some people choose to paint the full gun. Seems it would drop the resale value significantly as well as get paint into...

    Rifle Scopes New build - need to decide between these scopes?

    Building a new 1000yd 300win-mag rifle. Already have most of the goods just need to decide on a scope. For the time being I've taken the zeiss 6.5-20x off of my .223 target rifle so I can have some fun but eventually that scope needs to go back to it's home. So I'm trying to decide between the...
