    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II 1-5x24 Illuminated Reticle Issue

    I bought a Burris XTR II 1-5x24 to replace the Eotech on my company carbine. I finally had some downtime yesterday and had the opportunity to mount it. After mounting it, I dropped in the battery and found that the illumination feature on the reticle only worked after dialing up to 11 and then...

    Terrible tragedy, but at least 3 rules of gun safety had to be broken in order for this to happen. LORANGER, LA — Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) Enforcement Division agents and Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) deputies are investigating a potential hunting...

    New Reloading Setup

    I used the last few months to redo my reloading / gunplumber bench in my garage. I went from a store bought pegboard and powder coated sheet metal bench to a custom built wooden setup. My dad always had a woodworking shop operating when I was growing up, so I used this project to get the Ole...

    Gunsmithing Rem 700 SPS .300 WM issues...

    A buddy of mine asked me to mount and zero a scope for him on his brand new .300 WM Rem 700 SPS. He also provided me with a new box of Federal 180 gr ammo to use. It was my worst experience with a Rem to date. After I fired the first round, the case remained in the chamber, despite working...

    Mile High Shooting Accessories

    I wanted to thank Mile High Shooting Accessories for taking care of me on my Atlas BT10-LW17 purchase. I was a little short sighted in purchasing the two screw clamp mount model in the past. I contacted Kasey at B&T, who offered to swap out the mounting method to the LW17 mount, but it just...

    Hunting & Fishing I lost a mentor yesterday

    His name was Hugh, but everyone knew him as "Buddy". He was Mr. Buddy to me. He was a friend, coworker and mentor to my Uncle, whose father (my grandfather) had been killed early on. He helped steer my Uncle in a path that lead him to great professional and personal success. When they both...

    LA Precision Rifles .260 Remington

    About a year ago, I started down the path of having a new rifle built for my son. I had purchased one of the last bare Rem 700 actions that Brownell's carried and put it in the safe for future development. I had only shot factory rifles to this point and wanted to send this action off to be...

    Supply dried up again?

    Has the 208 Amax hoarding caused supply to run out again? Can't seem to locate any on the interwebs. My local Cabelas and Bass Pro have none.

    Gunsmithing Rust: At what point...

    ... Do you just have to say it's too much? I inherited an OLD double barrel shotgun. The metal parts looks like something that was dug up from a Civil War relic site. At what point does rust on a firearm push it past the "fixable" point? Anyone get an old shooter back into fighting form from...

    Steel Spinner Target

    During my last visit to NTRP, one of the targets featured on the range was a steel spinner target. Shooting it was a pleasant diversion and a challenge to engage, as opposed to just hitting a stationary steel plate. I decided to try to replicate the target and came up with the following as a...
