I was at the local funstore today, and they had 3 of these in stock, a 7mm RM, a 300 WM, and a 30-06. This rifle has the Bell and Carlson stock, and a 26 inch heavy barrel. The stock had kind of a weird feel to it (texture) - sort of like a very stiff version of Styrofoam. Ergs were OK...

Greetings. A couple of years back, I bought a XCR Compact Tactical (.308) out of the classifieds here. I discovered that I really liked the platform (short and handy, yet solid and steady). A short time after that I got a smokin hot deal on an LRT in .223. This rifle I topped with a Vx-III LR...

Hey, I'll admit it, I've not given much thought to the idea of the usefulness of a suppressor for a hunting situation. I'm mainly interested for coyote hunting. There's been a few situations where I've had multiple dogs come in and at the first shot they scatter in every direction. Would a...

If anyone has a picture of their builds utilizing a McMillan Marksman stock, I'd be interested in seeing it. Especially if you've a short, fat tube on the end of the action.... The Kaiser

A short while ago, I picked up an M700 XCR compact tactical .308 out of the classifieds here. To quote the McD's commercials - I'm lovin it. I'd actually like to get another, but rather than getting a .223 (the other cartridge option), I'd like one in .260 remington (possibly my favorite...

I have half an interest in swapping one of my AR's over to the 6.8 SPC cartridge, and in doing some research, note that there are three different chamber specs for this round (according to Wikipedia) - 6.8 SPC, 6.8 SPC II, and 6.8x43(DMR-C). I have heard of the SPC II, but not the third...

I recently added a scope to my 40x .22, in hopes of improving accuracy over the opens (my eyes are getting old). At the range today, the temps were -9 degrees, and I think I was getting irregular ignition because of it. My first shot (Federal 36gr hps) hit about a foot low. Had to use nearly...

The topic on Flush Cups got me thinking - my new rifle has flushcups on the left side, and only one stud up front for the bipod - Can you recommend a good quality sling that will keep The Beast on my shoulder - she's a bit heavy.....and I need to be able to open the ends to put on the FC...

I took my new 6x47L ( http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1515930#Post1515930)to the range today - well, technically it's not a range, yet. My brother built us a shooting bench out on the family farm, where we can shoot out to about 650yds. These would be the...

I hope this isn't against the TOS here, but I know some of you value the early M700's for your build-ups. I was looking on the Auction Arms site, and someone has a M700 put-together with a four digit serial #. First year of production, serial # is under 2000. Buy it now price is $550. FYI -...

Here are a few pics of my first full custom, built by Jon Beanland. Please excuse the quality of these photos - Jon is a much better gunsmith than I am a photographer. Almost all the parts were purchased out of the classifieds of the various shooting/hunting boards that I am a member, except...

What are you guys running in this cartridge for primers? In discussing with the smith, he'd stated he'd seen a bit of cratering when test firing my rifle, and that I should be careful to select primers with a harder cup, due to the high pressure nature of this cartridge. (At that point I asked...

A while back I started the accumulation process by picking up a McMillan HTG with the wheel adjustable comb on another board (M700 inlet, sniper fill, woodland Camo). On Saturday, My Nightforce 8x32x56 BR scope showed up in the mail. Today, I finally took possession of my Pierce Engineering...

I've a new-to-me Nightforce 8x36x56 scope for a rifle project, and need to know what height of 30mm rings I'll need to purchase. I'll be using a 20 MOA base in conjunction, if that impacts stuff. As you can probably surmise, I'm new to this long range game.... Also, looking for...

I've an older CMP 40x (with the 722 style handle)- I'm thinking it has the light contour barrel. Can someone tell what diameter it should be compared to the heavy contour? It came with the redfield sight, which are a real hoot, though I may put a scope on it to see just how accurate it really...

I'm looking into upgrading optics for a rifle build, and am looking at getting into this as cheaply as possible (limited funds at this point). I've seen a few Nightforce scopes for sale on some of the target boards in the $1000-1500 range (used). What are the major differences between the NXS...
