Hello all, I’m in the market for an LVPO, but I’m noticing across the board that a ton of scopes come out of china. I’m trying to avoid their products, so what recommendations do you have? Edit; I dont really have a budget. Anywhere up to $2k is fine for a quality lvpo. I prefer best bang for...

Hey all, i'm looking to do a trip with my father to shoot prairie dogs. I've settled on WY as the best place to go that is within a reasonable driving distance. Are there any outfitters you'd recommend? If not, any recommendations on places to go and stay to hunt?

With the price gap narrowing between the two, i was wondering which is better? Im not expecting amazing accuracy. 2 moa is completely fine.

Hey all, i need some help deciding on a finish. From reading on the web, birdsong and robar both come in at the highest for abrasion, chemical, salt, ect resistance of any finish i've looked at. I'm now looking to refinish the parts on one of my milled AK's, and i want a tough as nails coating...

Hey all, its nearing winter and UT is the pits in winter. I did alot of snowboarding last season, and snowmobiling, so my car didnt cut it. I've finally come down to getting a truck, but I'm having a absolute hell of a time picking between a Nissan Frontier, and a Toyota Tacoma. They both fit...

hey all, my unit recently contracted a training group to conduct our advanced weapons and tactics training. However, I'm curious of those of you who've had to contract training groups, who is the best?

Hey all, im finally deciding to change oil in my Aprilia Shiver... However, i've come across a bit of a conundrum. My manual says use AGIP 15w-50. I understand the 15w, comes from the flow properties in colder temperatures (winter start-up), and the 50 refers to the flow properties at standard...

Hey all, last time I went home on leave, I borrowed my fathers S&W model 28 (highway patrolman), to practice shooting with a wheel gun (im rusty as all hell) Anyway, the pistol is in alright shape (he says its his throw-away). The blueing is worn, and I think it could use a restoration. (I know...

Well, i picked up a very gently babied new toy, and I've been out farting around on it. Its a Aprilia Shiver. Those of you who do ride; How's your summer riding been so far?

Well, i bought a MK III 22/45 threaded, and de-lawyered the gun. Its fun, and eats anything, but its actually fairly loud with a can attached. I've tried several different brands of subsonic, match and generic ammo, and they dont really seem quieter. I was using a GSG-1911, and compared to the...

Hey all, my unit is looking to get a pack made to meet our needs. So far i've contacted Tactical Tailor, and Eberlestock. Tac-Tailor seems like they can do it, but they are going to be backlogged for a minute. We go FOC in Oct, so we have a decent window of manufacturing time for our supplier...

Howdy folks. I'm at a bit of a impasse. I'm planning on replacing my GSG-1911 very soon. I've worn the slide and started peening the frame a bit (25K rounds +) Anyway, I'm looking to replace it with something that will last *FOREVER* shooting suppressed. When I say forever, I mean the gun is...

Hey all, I'm looking for any dog towns in SW Wyoming. I'm coming from utah, so I'm only willing to hurt my ass in a car seat for a couple hours at a time. About as far in as I'm willing to go is Green River. So are there any dog towns around Evanston, or on the way to Green River?

Hey all, I'm starting to make some semi-serious progress on my 77/22 Tac project. However, I'm stuck at the barrel. I'm trying to decide between Shilen, Lilja, Volquartzen, and a Clark - Lothar Walther. I've heard good reviews for all, but I'm not sure which would deliver the benchrest...

Hey all, I'm looking for a rifle that has a flat top receiver. I need to get a picatinny rail that is flat on the base. Pretty much ruled out alot of actions. I'm doing a 77/22 project, and I plan to drill/tap the receiver and put a picatinny base on it, but I'm having hell finding a action...

Well, I wanted to mount my Silencerco sparrow on my Ruger 77/22. So i talked to the local gun plumber back home while on leave, and sure enough he came up with a creative way to mount it. Silencerco has a unique feature that makes it a little different. 1 being the internal oring just...

Hey all, I was wondering how, or if, any of y'all figured out a way to add elevation to your 77/22's with optics. I was looking to Wiegand for a picatinny mount, however the mount has 0moa on it. I really have been wanting a mount with 20moa or so added to it to when i try to stretch 22lr's...

Hey all, I've got a quick question. Whats the smallest precision platform availiable. By smallest, i mean small in dimensions. Ability to stick in a backpack, or large briefcase. I'm just expanding my knowledge, but I havent found what i'm looking for. The best fit I've found is the WA2000...

While i was perusing random threads here on the Hide, i stumbled upon a question from the centerfire big brothers. With a suppressed centerfire rifle, the velocity of the round increases a little, and the accuracy doesnt degrade at all (infact, it quite often gets a little better) However...
