I've been a business owner most of my life now, am sort of semi-retired and am wondering about the custom rifle business. I imagine I would have the funds to purchase what equipment I don't have so that's not a concern. I keep hearing about insane wait times and am wondering if there is some...

I'm, not sure which forum this should go in... I'm wondering if anyone here would chime in on stockpiling issues. A neighbor and I are thinking of going in on a progressive loader for the purposes of stockpiling a few thousand rounds of 223 or whatever may come up, including doing some for...

It looks like I'll be able to get a FAL, but I have no experience with the caliber. Am wondering if a DM/Battle Rifle gun like this for SHTF and hog hunting inside 400 yards, what are the pros/cons of the different bullet weights, 140-180. Would I want to spec it out (twist/free bore) for...

Sometimes when you get the right question you find the answer you're looking for. Hopefully this is one of those times. The 180 gr Berger in 7mm seems to be really outstanding, and I see more and more people on the Hide shooting it for real. I have been looking at this for some time as the...

Do you do it? In the spirit of doomsday prep/zombie stuff, does anybody actually take a several thousand dollar LR precision rig + other gun gear and stick it in the ground ala Bob Lee Swagger? I've looked online and there are people actually selling caching containers plus amenities. Anybody...

I'm right handed but shoot left handed on purpose quite a bit. When I took my first LR precision class we were taught to shoot both ways. It feels funny at first but you essentially will shoot just as tight as you do regular hand, that includes CQB etc. It's just mental. Or at least that was...

Guys, I am looking to start a political website and forum, basically a blog on my part with a forum coupled up with it. Believe me, I am in no way going to compete with the Hide here, read my posts, I am a perfectly average level shooter, nobody would follow me. I have a "following" of people...

WW types, looks like I'll need to hit the gun shows locally trawling for gear, haven't been to one in ages so am not sure what is going on. If you know of any gun shows if you wouldn't mind listing. Would consider driving to Yakima if there is anything good out there. Thanks.

Guys, long story short, I have access to lots of free wood, and am interested in making stocks. Have some woodworking experience, so with the right instructions I think I could do it. Problem is my google bone must've come out of the socket, am having bad luck finding any good instructional...

I have never even looked through a chevron reticle but I imagine that I wouldn't like it. I have to get a new ACOG and the one I want does not have regular old crosshairs. What is the deal with the Chevron? What does it do for you? Should I change my attitude? What am I missing?

I am in the lower half of shooters here in terms of accomplishment, have been shooting LR for about a year, 30-06 modified Savage, saving up for the tactical rig. I have been to training, so was able to short circuit some "learn the hard way stuff", but discovered something a couple of months...

Sorry for the proliferation here, but I'm trying to get to the bottom of something. Whenever I have been in an FAL discussion, the M1/M14 people come out of the woodwork and claim that their gun can shoot 1 moa without much problem. In other discussions (such as the EBR/sniper thread), the AR...

I own 3 ARs, 2 M4 style, 1 "Varmint" style, and I have a problem with the inline buffer style stock. I have a large head and no matter when kind of optic I'm using I have to really crank my head down to get to it in any non-prone position, unless I put the point of the butt way up on my...

I recently realized that the EBR/M14 might be the best battle rifle out there, and as a result would that mean the mini 14 could possibly be the best 5.56 semi-auto carbine out there. I have loads of civilian AR experience, but none with either the M14 or the mini 14. The EBR is quite an...

Ok, the EBR/m14 is looking like the gun that will do what I need. I have been moving away from the AR platform for a while for a number of reasons, but haven't been real excited about the alternatives. I would go with an FN FAL right now but everyone complains about the accuracy. It seems...

This is a random shotgun I came across and do not recognize the stock.

I'm still a fairly new shooter, but am interested in hearing what people like in a benchrest, the woodblocks at the range are starting to feel limiting. I know about stuff carried by midwayusa, cabelas, etc, but would be interested in cool little custom companies out there and anything unique...

I think this can be discussed without getting political, but all in all a disgusting piece. The writer highlights the Christian ethics of this sniper and the "grisly" nature of sniping, one shot one kill. As if chucking a grenade in a safehouse full of jihadis is somehow more humane. I've...

300wsm, 7mmsm, a number of short magnums out there. They all seem to have pretty good ballistics, very good even. What is the point of a short magnum? What is it they do/were designed for?
