    Redding Neck Die .335-.338 titanium nitride

    I have been scouring all over online and everyone seems to be completely out/back ordered on these bushings... Am I looking for Unicorns, or does someone have a line on these anywhere? Any substitutions for these you guys could recommend? Using in Redding Type S Match Bushing Full Length Die Set.

    Earl, If only this had a wind reader...

    I recently stumbled across this new Earl device. It would be an amazingly easy buy if it teamed with Kestryl to provide some of their functionality... I am thinking about getting one for backpacking. Normally I steer away from technology when I am backpacking, but recently I have been going to...

    Vintage ammo?

    Is vintage ammo sought after by collectors? My neighbor just gave me all of this ammo he has had for years that he wants to sell. I told him I would help him find out if it is worth anything, aside from the obvious 'just shoot it' - is there a collector value? Here is 30% of it: Super X...

    Rifle Scopes What magnification range for 500m-800m?

    I am lost on what scope to get for my .308. I have narrowed it down to 3, I think. My main question is: Which magnification range do you think would best suit a .308 shooting 500m-800m? Currently I only have one other scoped gun, and it has a 10x on it. I would obviously like a bit more, and am...

    Avoiding the Tacticool nub.

    I am putting the finishing touches on my first precision centerfire rifle this month (*fingers crossed*) and will be attending a beginner course in about 8 weeks. It will be my first foray into long range precision shooting (aside from having a coworker that is a former marine take me shooting...

    1MOA Rifle, Mil/Mil scope.

    Anyone else find it funny that most precision shooters nowadays use Mil/Mil scopes, but we still judge rifle accuracy on the basis of MOA? I understand that it is easier to say you have a 1MOA rifle (or 1/2MOA or 1/4MOA) vs saying 0.29mil rifle (or 0.145mil or 0.0725mil). I was just thinking...

    Chassis weight?

    I am looking at getting a Chassis, but my problem is that I do a lot of backpacking and take a rifle with me. Weight is more of a concern than it should be, but while outdoors I want to shoot my rifle as I intend on shooting it on the range for the sake of practical practice. I am rather limited...

    Rifle Scopes .308 build, 30 MOA rail, Vortex PST.

    I purchased a 30MOA Seekins scope base for my 700 AAC-SD, and I am looking at getting a Vortex PST 6-24x Mil/Mil FFP scope. The scope is listed as having 19 mrad of elevation, assuming 9.5 is split evenly between the up/down, will I have enough elevation to counteract the 30MOA base at 100...

    Sniper's Hide as a fact source.

    I just want to say thank you to everyone that has filled this site with good, quality knowledge. I cannot tell you how much I have learned just reading as much as I can here. And I was raised by an anti-gun family, I wasn't even allowed an airsoft gun in my teens, so I had a lot of catching up...

    Rifle Scopes Leap in quality: Vortex PST 6-24x -> G2DMR

    I am getting my first .308 build put together and am trying to figure out if the $300ish dollar leap between a NIB Vortex PST 6-24x FFP mil/mil to a used Bushnell G2DMR will be something tangible for me. My first and only scope is a Weaver 3-10x Tactical Grand Slam mil/mil midway exclusive on a...

    Tax-Man Build, $2,500.

    So I got a refund, larger than I had anticipated, and I am putting $2,500 of it towards a new build. This will be my first long range precision build. I have everyday access to 100m ranges, monthly access to 500m, and every other month I can make the drive to 1,000yard ranges. Here are the four...

    Expected Accuracy at 100 Yards?

    What kind of accuracy do you guys with tons of experience get from your .22lr trainers? My 'trainer' is my first ever bolt gun, and there is no one in my area I have met that really shoots at 100yards or more, so I have no merit by which to gauge my success, or failure. These are the kinds of...

    .22lr trainer moving to .223, or?

    This got long, too long - didn't read version at end. First let me start off by saying thank you! This community has been a wealth of information that has guided through me not just firearm purchases, but all the accessories that go along with them and the training involved. While I...

    Heads Up: Wolf Match Target .22lr, $4.75

    "20 x 22LR WOLF Match Target, 50rd box. = $95.00" Thought I would share this deal, I have yet to find it cheaper than this. You have to buy 10 boxes to get that pricing, but with the difficulty I had in even finding any Wolf .22 in stock online, it was well worth it! J&G Sales

    Savage MKII Build, ?'s on parts, Technique

    Hey Snipershide, So I bought a Savage MKII FV-SR .22lr as a precision trainer because I am currently limited to 100 yards (closest 300 yard+ is 8 hours round trip). After feeling the plastic stock, I sought out a Boyd's wood one and found an amazing deal on a new Tacticool stock ($70 shipped)...

    Gunsmithing What Gunsmith School did you go to?

    I am just about done with High School and I have been really considering getting a degree in gunsmithing. And since there are so many quality gunsmiths on this forum, I was wondering what school(s) you went to? Are there any you would recommend? What kind of curriculum is necessary and which is...
