    Night Vision Where to find replacement battery cassette for Flir thermal scope?

    I've done some looking on the google without much luck. One of the little clips that holds 2x CR123 batteries for my thermal scope fell out of my pocket and broke when it hit the wood floor. Any ideas on where to find a replacement or two? It fits the Thermosight PRO PTS233 and Zeus that I...

    Will 1/4" AR plate hold up as targets?

    I've got a chance to get some AR plate drops locally for a pretty good price. Will 1/4" hold up as pistol (.40, .45, .38 spl) targets at pistol ranges and for .223 and .308 for longer range? I'm thinking 400-1000 yds for the .308, or will it need to be doubled up? I'm not sure what grade of...

    Range Report Dope not matching up???

    I did some shooting this morning, and came away a little bit puzzled. I am shooting a Rem 700 SPS Tactical, 20" 1/12 barrel. The scope is a 6.5-20x44 Vortex Viper, with 1/4 MOA adjustments. I was shooting my reloads with Hornady 168 gr. HPBT Match and 175 gr. SMK's. I had one target set at...

    Confusing .308 reload results...solved!

    I just got back from the range and I'm not really sure what to think of the results. Maybe someone here has an idea for me. I'm shooting a Rem 700 SPS Tactical .308...1/12, 20" barrel. It's got an EGW 20 MOA base, Burris XTR 30mm rings, and a 6.5-20x44 Vortex Viper scope. I bought it a...

    First time out with new SPS Tac .308

    I've been waiting on the SPS Tactical .308 to go on sale at one of the shops around here for a while now. I figured it would be a relatively cheap way to get into the LR shooting hobby. I got a card in the mail from Cabelas a couple of weeks ago to get a $150 gift card activated if you spend...

    Gunsmithing Pictures of welded bolt handle

    What is involved in TIG welding a Rem 700 bolt handle to the bolt body? Does anyone have a picture of where people are welding them? I can TIG pretty well and have access to the best machine Miller makes, so I'm thinking it's something I can do myself. But, I may be missing something...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA Super Sniper Rings?

    Did SWFA stop selling their Super Sniper rings? I was looking at the 30mm set to use for my Vortex Viper but they've disappeared from the website it seems.

    Rifle Scopes Options for Ruger bolt action angled scope mount

    So what are the options for getting a 20 or 25 MOA angle for a Ruger with the scope mounts machined into the receiver? Are there rings with the angle built in? Or is it better to just get a 20 moa base and straight rings?

    Gunsmithing Seekonk torque wrench question

    I was looking on Ebay this morning for a decent in/lb adjustable torque wrench and saw an auction for a Seekonk TSF-175 with no bids and 15 minutes left. So, I ended up with a used Seekonk 0-175 ft/lb torque gauge w/ case for $23 shipped. Now, I know it's used so calibration is suspect, but...
