    Night Vision New NV Bracket

    Hi All, I've been trying to utilize relatively inexpensive NV monoculars as sighting equipment for several months now and have come up with a pretty good system for those (which includes me) on a budget. It is what it looks like...3Gray.jpg[/IMG]</a>[/img] The beauty of the thing besides...

    Anybody use a company called "Trigger Action"?

    I'm reluctant to give credit card info to any company I'm not familiar with. With the name "Trigger Action", you pull up everything but information on their company when Googling it. No where in their site do they even show a physical address or location. They may be legit, but because of this...

    Rifle Scopes Mil Ranging

    With cheaper range finders available, not too much seems to be written about ranging with mil dot scopes. After finally figuring out how to do it, I find it fascinating and easy using distance cards that you can download free, laminate and have stuck between your stock and extra cartridge loops...

    Cheap, cheap truck rifle

    Well I said I would never own anything again that was not in my standard calibers of .308 or .223. But when Academy Sports offered new Stevens Model 200s in 7mm08 for $199.00 the other day, I plunked down the cash without a 2nd thought. These things are Plain Jane Savages with ugly, but...

    Gunsmithing 722 action vs the 700 short action

    How similar dimensionally is the 722 action to the newer 700 short actions? I'm contemplating using a 700 SPS Tactical take-off barrel, trigger and stock on a 722 action. Any major problems here? Thanks, Sherlok

    Blue Print Companies

    I'm looking for a factory replacement 700 bolt in .223. Are there some companies who throw these things away when blueprinting actions. I know some sell pull off virtually brand new barrels. I realize that it will have to be fitted, but I can just imagine what Remington will charge me for a...

    Do I send it back to Remington?

    No fool like an old fool! I've been reloading safely for over 40 years, but it finally happened. In developing loads for my .223 Remington SPS Tactical using 24 grains of H4895 behind a 69 grain SMK, I grabbed a can of 4198 by mistake and stuffed it full. (Damn all of these four number names.)...

    wide extreme spread

    I have extreme spreads (ES) exceeding 70 fps on my loads, yet they group consistently less than moa out to 300 yards (my current range limit) in my 700 SPS Tacticals in .308 and .223. The loads are: .308 168gr Nosler CC over 42.0 IMR4895 LC prepped Brass. .223 69gr Nosler CC over 24.0 H4895...

    Nosler 2nds

    Anybody try the Nosler Custom Competition factory 2nds in 168 grain from Shooters Pro Shop? They're not that much cheaper really, but are available. Custom Competitions seem to shoot as well as SMKs in my 700 SPS Tactical. Thanks, Sherlok

    Replacement Barrel

    I have a nice 722 Remington Sporter in .222 converted long ago to .223 that could use a new barrel. I really don't want to dump a ton of money in it and I could sell it. But the action on this old girl is so smooooth compared to the new stuff. I was wondering what you guys thought might be the...

    75 grain A-Max in 9" twist

    I have an opportunity to acquire a quantity of 75 grain A-max bullets. Do you think they will stabilize in my 9" twist Remington? The charts I've seen indicate that they might be borderline. Thanks, Sherlok

    Gallery Loads

    I've been quite happy with squib loads for my indoor shooting range with .30-06 and .308 using very small charges (like about 2.0 grains) of Bulls Eye with 100 grain cast bullets. But has anyone developed one for the .45 acp? Thought I would ask before re-inventing the wheel. Noise is an issue...

    Please identify Parker Hale Model

    My highest praise for all service personnel past and present on this Memorial weekend - Thank You. Any Parker Hale experts out there? I cannot find any information on the web about model numbers for Parker Hales. There was a similar one on gun broker that was supposedly a model 82, but...

    Help on AR's

    I'm not too familiar with AR's being a bolt guy, but I'm looking for one now. I want a full rifle, heavy barrel with at least 1 moa accuracy. There's a new Colt HBAR nearby, but it does not look like a flat top with removable grip which I the specs on Colt's site said they had. Can you mount a...
