    Rifle Competition Events NYC-Area LR Comps

    Finally have a usable long range weapon system. Will be spending this winter building DOPE and getting some much needed time behind the rifle. Really want to get my feet wet competing next year. What options are there in and around the greater NYC area? And by "around", let's consider it a...

    Backpack Bolt Gun: Pics

    Since short-barrel AR-pistols with folding stocks that can fit comfortably in a back-pack is all the rage nowadays; it has me pining for a compact bolt-action that could fit in a largish pack. There's a thread around here with shortish-barreled guns (bunch of 16s and 18s), but has anyone gone...

    Will I make it to 1000?

    .308 FGMM 175 SMKs 22" Barrel. Will I make it out to a grand before it goes transonic? I was going to be working with a custom ammo company to work up a load with 185 jugs which would have easily gotten me out to a grand, but with all the component shortages, that plan fell through. I know...

    First time out with new TacOps X-Ray 51

    I just got this thing last week and couldn't get to the range due to work and family commitments until today. Didn't prepare well and was in too much of a rush. Didn't bring my tool kit out with me so I couldn't set the zero on my turrets. Was 5 minutes from the range (which is over an hour...

    Anschutz rail to Picatinny Adapter

    My TacOps X-Ray 51 came in yesterday. I will get out the camera equipment to get proper of photos of this thing, it deserves that. Anyway, it's got a full-length Anschutz rail nicely integrated under the fore-end, but I'm having a tough time finding a pic-rail to mount on it so I can use my...

    A story

    Someone that works for me recently picked up a cool rifle and was telling us about it. I had to have it. I got to use it the day after it arrived and I wanted to write a cool review. As I started to type, it turned into a story that I thought some of you may enjoy. I sent it to the company...

    What do I do now?

    This won't be short, I apologize for that now. July 2019: I plan and commission a no-expense-spared build. Work out details with extremely well-known and respected builder who offers 1/2 MOA guarantee. Manners PRS-1 (my choice) Impact 737R (my choice) Bartlein 20" Heavy Palma in .308 (length...

    Rifle Issue - Update Thread

    The issue has already been posted, but the thread title was misleading (it started as a stripped Spuhr screw). It's still not resolved (despite me thinking recently that it was). Anyone wanting to read through the original thread can do so here: Cluster Fudge . But that's 3 full pages...

    Rifle Scopes Stripped Spuhr Screw

    Stripped a Spuhr screw, on the base, not the rings. Icing on top of an already shitty day. Go to Spuhr's website, they got plenty of 'em in stock. Go to checkout, US of A isn't an option. Find a note that for us Yankees, we've got to go to Mile High Shooting. Headed on over there, they've...

    MagnetoSpeed Sporter Quality

    Was trying to chrono my son's .223 this past weekend along with a different load I was trying on my .308. This is only the second time I tried my MagnetoSpeed Sporter. The first time was a few months ago, and once I got it tightly affixed to my .308, I got my readings. No issues, got some...

    Bulk match .308

    I've tried the Georgia-Arms G308M (168gr BTHP match, they don't specify what bullet it is). I've got a single 0.34 MOA group with that ammo at 200 yards, but 10-round groups routinely measure around 0.8 MOA which is not what this rifle is capable of (S.A.C. built 20" .308). So I want to try...

    KRG Bravo / Howa / MDT .223 Issues

    Hello fine gents, So the barreled action for my son's build came in tonight (the last piece of the puzzle). I wasted no time in putting her together and was dismayed to find out that the MDT 10-round .223 mags I purchased aren't remotely close to working. They are so far out (and identical...

    Howa 1500 Barreled Actions in .223 Discontinued

    My kids don't find shooting fun anymore. Living in the greater NYC area, I have to drive a little over an hour to get to our outdoor range and the rules and target options mean my kids can either punch paper slowly, or we can bust up some clays at the shotgun range which one of them likes but...

    Rear Bag

    Very unexciting to most, but as my first ever sewing project beyond basic clothing repair for my family, I built a rear bag tonight and am quite proud of it. Filled it up with a bunch of blue aquarium gravel I had in the house. It isn't much, but it came out far better than I ever expected it...

    Picatinny Rail that works with 10-32 ButtonHead Screws

    Have a new SAC-built .308 that I took delivery of last week (pics once she's all kitted out). She sits in a Manners PRS1 and the Atlas I ordered was for picatinny rail (studs always looked/felt flimsy to me). Anyway, I ordered a BCM 5.5" rail and two sets of Atlas' rail mounting fasteners...

    New Rifle: What Spuhr mount height?

    Hello gents. SAC just shipped out my new .308 yesterday and I expect to pick it up tomorrow or Friday. I've already got a Leupold Mark 5 HD at home patiently waiting, but need to order up my Spuhr mount. As this is my first Spuhr, I've got nothing to reference off of. The Mark 5 HD has a...
