    What kind of accuracy could I expect from Steyr ?

    I am looking at a Steyr SSG 08 in .308. Is this is good, accurate rifle, or just an expensive one? Assuming I do my part, anyway.

    I have a question about Emeralds. Any Jewelers ?

    My GF and I have been talking about rings. Nothing specific per se. But in the gist of the conversation, the "hinted" that she would love an Emerald gem in a Platinum setting. After searching the internet, I am at a loss on this stone. This is the only forum I am a member of that I don't...

    Movie Theater Sunshine (2007)

    "A team of astronauts are sent to re-ignite the dying sun 50 years into the future" I find it a little ironic that the Human Torch (Chris Evans) freezes to death on a spaceship while hurtling toward the sun. Not a bad movie if you like Sci-Fi.

    Maggie’s Will I live to be 80?

    I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?' He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine...

    Case for AICS 2.0?

    Does anyone make a case (Pelican style) precut for an AICS 2.0 folded? My problem is my Tacoma has a fairly small back seat. Full length hard case will not fit. Hence the reason I bought the 2.0. Soft cases work, but I would really like a hard lockable case. I suppose I could just get one...

    Gunsmithing Re-Bedding a stock ? Can it be easily done?

    I dropped the hammer on a AICS 2.0 from Alex at Euro Optics. This is for my Remington 700 SS 5r in .308. The stock has been bedded even though it has the aluminum bedding block in it. My question is this. Can the bedding material be removed? I was thinking of selling the HS Precision...

    Movie Theater Question about "Shooter"

    I watched this movie yet again last night. I have a question. All throughout the action scenes in the movie, Mark Wahlberg is using a pair of binoculars. They have a ranging reticle in them. They have a gold cursive letter R on the front where the adjustment ring would be. Anyone have any...

    Suppressors ATF and Suppressors question

    This is a hypothetical question. I have no suppressors as of yet, but I am planning on starting the paperwork on a couple soon. Let's say I went the route of the Revocable Living Trust. Everything is ok, checked out by a lawyer, etc. (Used Quicken Willmaker or something similar) ATF...

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt and Bender Zero Stop adjustment question

    I finally have the 5-25X56 MTC CCW .1 milrad scope. (Thanks Alex euroOptics!!!) The zero stop instructions are for the clockwise single turn turret. I cannot find the information on my CCW turret in the manuals. I also don't speak or read German, so I can't say for certain it is not there in...

    Rifle Scopes Badger Ring question

    I ordered and recieved a set of 34mm Max50 rings. It looks to me like the top of the ring is smaller than the bottom, if that makes any sense. If you look through the rings, as if a scope was in them, then the top ring looks like it would be in contact with the top of the scope before the...

    Stock weight ?

    Remington 700 SS 5R HS Precision stock from factory. Been bedded and painted, Harris Bi-Pod, otherwise, just like it came from the fun store. Just seems like the barrel is so much heavier than the rest of the rifle. Sitting on the bipod, no scope or anything, you have to grab it about 1 hands...

    Which Anschutz 22 l/r should I be looking for?

    After My S&B 5-25X56 scope gets here for my Rem 700 5r 308, I will be looking at building a 22 l/r precision trainer/lunch getter. Anschutz is the best? Or should I be looking at something else? Thanks Patrick

    Rifle Scopes My common sense might have left the building.

    Keep in mind that I am completely new to long distance shooting. I ordered a 20 MOA base for my Rem 700 from Larue. It arrived yesterday, along with the usual swag from Mark. I had assumed that the front would be higher than the rear (you know to gain 20moa of elevation) However, the base I...

    Suppressors Db reduction with factory ammo?

    On average, what would a .308 sound like without using sub-sonic loads? I am planning on a .223 suppressor after I get the current rifle finished and recover from the sticker shock. My Rem700 SS .308 project is up over 4k already and that doesn't count the scope mount or rings. S&B 5-25X56...
