Looking at getting a VX-R patrol to try out on an AR for a possible 3 gun platform. Was interested to hear what mounts are being used. Have a few Larue mounts, but don't think I want to spend 50% of the scope price on a mount unless there weren't other good options. Trying to keep it light...

Had tried to shoot subsonic loads through a rifle that wasn't built for it, and was never able to get it to do what I wanted it to do. I could get the subsonic part right, but the 1-11.5" twist just couldn't stabilize a suitable projectile at those slow speeds. Had major instability and...

Jeff at CDI is great to work with. Here are some shots of the DBM on a 6.5x47 FN SPR. Function is absolutely flawless, works fine with AI 308 mags, and I can seat the bullets way out there (2.70 COAL was no problem)...to far out there I found out, I stuck a bullet in the lands and spilled...

I have read the multiple threads with people mentioning RC cars, garage door openers and someone in the Advanced Marksmanship section posting a Youtube video of a very nice RC mover system, but that was two years ago and they have not put up the specs/plans. I have an idea, and need some help...

I finished assembling my first AR from a stripped lower last week. Took it out today and was very happy with the results. It fires and feeds reliably, no failures, but it will NOT lock open on an empty mag. Is that an indication that the gas block is not properly aligned? If that is the...

I broke the freaking screw on a cheap tripod I use for a chrony tripod off in a buddy's chrony. I think we can get the broken off threaded portion out of the chrony, but I can't find where to get a plastic head thumbscrew of the correct threadpitch (1/4-20) and length in any quantities less...

Question, I have a m1a that has about 350-500 rounds through it. Every time I clean it (100-200 rounds), the rifling in the barrel will peel coating off the dewy rod in little strips. I would think after this number of rounds it would be smoothed out (at least i thought it would). Would...

I got my Atlas V8 last week and like it alot, however one leg seems to be different from the other. One leg is snug and smooth when I move the leg through the range of 180 degrees of rotation. The other leg gets REALLY tight when I move it clockwise, so much so that I can't get it to 90...

Just so others don't have to discover this on their own, the LT171 mount with the new VFZ connector will not work well on the Atlas Bipod. I got one in today and the LT171 bolts easily onto the Atlas and is rock solid, however the new VFZ locking system uses a bolt instead of a QD lever. The...

I had ordered a 18" SPR 5.56mm upper from them and it came in in about 3 days. Fast shipping. Not the story. Anyway, after throwing it on another Noveske lower I had, and playing around with it, I decided I should have bought a full rifle instead of having an orphan upper. I called them, and...

Thought I would post to see if some of us could get some help from the talented smiths here. This is the post that I am refering to: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1903931#Post1903931 Basically a few of us with L.E.Wilson trimmers and chamfer tools have...

Well, I guess I found out that my chamber is over spec in my 338 Lapua Magnum. I neck sized once fired Lapua brass (fired in the same rifle) and after priming and charging the case put it in my Forster micrometer seater. The case is now STUCK in the seater. It is a live round. When I moved...

I have searched through a bunch of threads here using the google search for sniper's hide. A bunch of results about individual scopes, but as an overall post I haven't seen this asked. I wear eyeglasses while shooting. I have used some cheap spotters as well as a Kowa. All of these have had...

Got my bolt handle, oversize knob and CNC shroud today from Hinterland Shooting Supplies in Australia. Let me start by saying I have ZERO connection with this company. They are in Australia and I am in South Carolina, so don't think I am trying to be a shill for them. I ordered these through...

Ok, I just got an Atlas bipod for my 338LM. It is in a McMillan A5. I am definitely not a smith, but I would like to add a short length of pic rail to the fore end of the stock. It has a sling stud there, and I purchased the Acushot 3.35" 1913 rail kit that fits over the existing stud as well...

I wouldn't be so pissed if they weren't ~$1.50 each. I got a new LE Wilson VLD head for the case trimmer, and it works beautifully. Too beautifully. I did about 10 cases with gorgeous 30 degree chamfers, then I did a case and when tapping it out of the holder, the case mouth deformed. I...

Ok, I have searched (with the google search for Snipershide forums posted frequently here) and gone through about 50 threads, I also read the 338-50cal thread in the Depot in this forum. I see TONS of people posting their pet loads, but I have not seen a good description of min/max loads listed...

Well, I got a smoking deal on a Dewalt refurbished 1.8 HP compressor, and thought why not get some duracoat to redo an older M1A scout with a black fiberglass stock. I did a little research online and came up with a small spray booth made out of 3/4" PVC and a 9-12' disposable .25mil dropcloth...

OK, so I took the plunge and purchased a .338LM through a friend. It is a surgeon built rifle that was initially set up with a Thunderbeast 338P-1 supressor, and hopefully the person selling the rifle will part with it (he hasn't decided). I should recieve the rifle within the next few weeks...

Ok, I have been reloading for a while, mostly .223 and .308 and some handgun calibers. I recently have gotten into longer range shooting and of course am trying to get my group sizes down. I got a forester neck turner recently and turned the necks on a batch of .308 lapua brass, and like I had...
