My Kestrel sat for months with the batteries in. I went to use it and some of the buttons won't work. I popped out the batteries and found corrosion inside. This is specifically not covered by warranty. I'm not sure why it happened or what to do about it but I guess this is a word of...

I've been looking into a Kestrel and have a few questions. Most of my shooting is informal. Steel plates at 100 to 850 yards. I am also planning to drive down to PASA Park and shoot F Class at least a few times this summer and possibly make the trip to one of the Big Piney Sportsman's Club...

Had a friendly debate with a buddy of mine. I give him shit all the time for calling magazines "clips" then the other day I refered to a revolver as being a pistol. He quickly corrected me saying that only autoloaders are pistols and calling a revolver a pistol was akin to the mag/clip issue...

Does anyone know if IOR honors their warranty for the second owner or is it restricted to the original purchaser?

My ejector is stuck and I need to know if I can remove the retaining pin, spring and ejector witout removing the bolt head. Thanks

I recently loaded a few rounds too hot. Primers were knocked loose from the case and there were heavy ejector marks on the head but no bright ring near the head of the case. This is twice fired RP brass 308win Should I junk the cases that were exposed to overpressure or are they safe to...

Has anyone else had the anvil and "interior" cup of the primers in FGMM come out while leaving the main primer cup behind? This is once fired FGMM brass with factory primers. I can't explain whats happening better than it seems that the primers are made of an inner and outer cup and the...

Does anyone make a seating die that seats from the ogive? My Hornady New Dimension die seats from a spot on the give but near the tip. I would think that slight differences in bullet shape would cause varying oal from the head to the ogive causing a different setback from the lands. By seating...

I haven't had any exposure to higher end optics until a friend recently bought a Mark 4 6.5-20x50. My Savage wears the Leupold Rifleman 4-12x40 that was on it when I bought it. It has done just fine getting me some short range experience but it has friction style elevation and windage...

I'm trying to develop my first load and decided to use Audette's ladder test. The problem is that the last 11 of 20 rounds went into one ragged 1" hole. What, if anything can I deduce from this? Here's the details: Savage model 10 chambered in .308 26" 1 in 10 factory barrel Remington...

I recently bought a used Hornady LNL Classic press off Gunbroker and it is missing the catch tray for spent primers and the priming arm the fits in the ram. Will I miss these or will I find using a hand priming tool more convenient anyway?

Unfortunatley, I have no good sources nearby to get my reloading off the ground and I have a hard time buying tools that I cant see first hand. I will be in the Des Moines area in a few weeks and need pointed in the direction of a good supply store. I'm looking for components and equipment...

Due to the lack of available quality ammo nearby and the cost of mail order match grade ammo I've decided to reload for my 308. I have never reloaded a metallic cartridge but decided I'll never get out shooting enough if I don't so I have bought the following used equipment Lyman 49th edition...

I recently became interested in long range shooting. My experience with centerfire rifles is limited to about 30 rounds fired from a lever action Winchester, a semi-auto Browning and a bolt action Savage. I do have a Ruger 10/22 that I've shot thousands of rounds from over the last 15 years...

Was wondering about these scopes in general and if there is any demand for them in the resale/used market.

Hello, new to the forum. I am looking to get into long range target shooting and i found a heavy barreled Howa 1500 in .308, blued, factory synthetic stock, and a Springfied Armory Government Model 6x4 scope mounted on leupold rings and mounts. The rifle is about 6 years old and has had about...
