    Which 308 AR

    Re: Which 308 AR The ones which were in stock are now GONE, but if you can wait a little, Colt should be worth a look.

    Best 7.62mm Semi Automatic Sniper Rifle

    Re: Best 7.62mm Semi Automatic Sniper Rifle Ugh, a lot of wading through this one. I don't think anyone mentioned the new Colt SP901, which I am waiting to see how it performs. For $2,000 that may be a real deal, especially compared to LMT. If the Colt has a bad release, I'll go back to...

    KAC SR25, LMT 308 MWS SS, or GAP 10

    Re: KAC SR25, LMT 308 MWS SS, or GAP 10 GAP certainly sounds like a winner, but at this point I'm waiting to see about Colt's new 308.

    Emails from DROIDS

    Re: Emails from DROIDS O.K. I opened Outlook-Tools, and my email is already set up as pop/smtp. Is this different from what you have recommended? Do I need to change something, or reset it?

    Emails from DROIDS

    Re: Emails from DROIDS Thanks so much for thinking this through with me. I only have one computer and no smart phones. I think I get email from most gmail senders just fine. Emails don't make it from gmail to Outlook coming from one person's Verizon, maybe others...I wonder if there's a...

    Emails from DROIDS

    Re: Emails from DROIDS I don't have a droid phone; my problem is other people's emails--from THEIR droids to my gmail, which don't download to my outlook. Will that tip still do the trick?

    Emails from DROIDS

    Hoping someone can offer a solution: I have my gmail set up to download emails to Outlook, but more and more I've noticed emails sent to me via DROID Verizon Wireless don't make it to Outlook. I find them when people say, "Yes, I sent that," and I search and find it on gmail, but not on Outlook...

    Dick's Sporting Goods - Rem. 700-V: Range Report

    Re: Dick's Sporting Goods - Rem. 700-V I had no trouble adjusting the standard x-mark on my Dicks varmint 308 ADL. I actually prefer it, since the screw doesn't protrude out near the trigger. Of course if I had a lot of money, I'd replace it, but for me the main concerns were upgrading the...

    Remington 700 bottom metal alternative

    Re: Remington 700 bottom metal *new pics* That chassis looks good. On the DBM, it would be great if someone with experience in group buys could arrange that direct to the company. I'll bet it wouldn't be too hard to get 100 buyers, if the price is right. Please be sure to post a review of...

    Gunsmithing Rem700 brl Fluting and or Length reducing? (Long)

    Re: Rem700 brl Fluting and or Length reducing? (Long) If you are at all local to Randall (CAPRC), and he is offering to help, IMHO you should heed that. I have been learning from him online for years. I had Lawson of Tucson cut and crown my 700 to 22" for $35 and am thrilled with the results.

    What purpose/advantage is a palm swelled stock?

    Re: What purpose/advantage is a palm swelled stock? I have smaller hands, so I know what you mean. But palm swells are great, and there's no way I'd go back. The 700P's swell is just a little too big for me, so if I had one, I'd probably sand it down a little. With my ADL synthetic, I used...

    Gunsmithing What release agent for bedding do you use?

    Re: What release agent for bedding do you use? Kiwi works. So does carnauba car wax. Whichever is closest when I'm ready to go.

    Boots

    Re: Boots My Scarpas are great boots, but I don't know if I'll ever break them in for my particular foot shape. If I could do it again, I'd probably get Lowas.

    What would you get?

    Re: What would you get? Go shop around at BCM Bravo Company's website. They make great stuff, and carry lots of other brands as well. I am very fond of both BCM and Noveske. Simply based on what I think is interesting, I would probably get a monolithic upper next time. And Magpul stocks...

    20", 24", or 26"

    Re: 20", 24", or 26" Again, this site proves to garner thoughtful and timely info... At only $35, there's little reason for me NOT to cut again, from 22" to 19". ETA: I just found Winchester.com has a very easy to use ballistics calculator, with "statistics chart" to show fps at each...

    Re: 20", 24", or 26" <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Ridgerunner665</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> My understanding of how that works is that the pressure released when the bullet exits the muzzle is lower on longer barrels, which results in...

    Which way to go: 700 SPS Tac or 700 SPS Varmint

    Re: Which way to go: 700 SPS Tac or 700 SPS Varmint For $450 that's a great buy, Charlie. I did the same thing. Ditch that scope ASAP, and the rings, too. They are junk, maybe O.K. on your 22. Warne makes great rings for $35. Best deal on a cheap scope is Pentax Pioneer: same as Burris...
