    Firearms Custom Sako M995 TRG-S; Manners, Bartlein, 7mm Rem Mag

    Time has come to sell this rifle. I built it as my 1K yd rifle several years ago but just have zero time or place to use it. A lot of research, care and attention to detail went into the building of this rifle with the best components available at the time. The build consists of the following...

    Ammo storage and humidity levels

    I just moved into a new house with a basement and was considering using the utility room for my ammo storage. I have a dehumidifier in the room and was wondering what is considered a safe humidity level for ammo storage. Most ammo is relatively well packed in corrigated cardboard boxes and some...

    Rifle Scopes SS 5-20HD elevation knob index lines

    I think one of the most common complaints, if you can call it that, about the new SS 5-50 scope is that the index lines on the elevation knob don't line up. There is a reason for this and I'd like to explain. There are 60 splines on the shaft the knob is attached to. There are 100 lines on the...

    Rifle Scopes SS 5-20 HD question...

    Got mine and so far so good. Love the solid feel, love the reticle and glass is awesome. I'll try to get some pics up later, but I have one issue. Is anyone else having trouble with very sharp edges on the illumination and side focus dials? Between the stiffness of the dials and the sharp...

    Rifle Scopes Sako Optilok rings and bases

    Anyone have any experience with these for something full sized like the new SS 5x20 on a 7mag? Thinking of this as an option over having a custom picatinny rail built and individual rings. Rifle is a TRG-S/M995 TIA

    AR barrel twist Q...

    I know as a rule the faster twist barrels are for the longer bullets, so this is a more specific question...will a 7 twist 16" AR stabalize a 50g BTHP? If so, for how far? Ammo is Federal .223 50g JHP. TIA

    I have about 100# of pork to process and I'm looking at buying n electric meat grinder. I;ve been on EBay, and if I know EBay, almost everything I'm seeing is probably Chinese crap.

    Gunsmithing Headspace gauges

    Are there better-than-worse head space gauges on the market? Can someone offer a link to properly checking head space? This will be on a precision 7mm RM build, and a 7-08. Thanks in advance. ETA: Check that...I found the info on checking head space. Still interested in some decent gauges...

    Gunsmithing 7mm RM test fire. Questions...

    Test fired my new 7mm RM at the gunsmith today. After digesting what he told me, I'm a little unclear as to how to interpret the results. I'll go back and ask him to help me understand, but I thought I'd also ask here. He said that the 7mm RM head spaces off the belt, and that he has the head...

    7-08 / AR10

    Any thoughts? Commercially available ammo, excellent balistics in the .284 bullets, uses the .308 case so feed and mag issues should be non existent, decent to above average performance in handloads...beats the heck out of a .308.

    Gunsmithing lug truing question

    I'm working on a Sako M995 action, and was wondering about doing some basic reworking, like truing the lugs. I used black magic marker on the bolt lug faces, then pushed the bolt in and while pulling back on it with the bolt handle, wiggled it as much as it will move...enough to show that only...
