    Actions that accept DIY barrel changes (Savage, Rem-age, etc)? and question about Tikka barrel swap

    I dipped my toe into precision rifles with a Savage since I liked the ability to change calibers/barrels in my workshop. Put a McGowan barrel on and rented some go/no go gauges and I had a shooter in 6.5cm (before Savage was even offering that caliber, I think.) Pretty neat. But we know Savage...

    Hi, This is my first time reloading for precision. I'm reloading once fired (in my rifle) 6.5 Creedmoor brass in a Lee single stage press, RCBS shell holder and Hornady Custom Grade dies (full length). I set the die up according to Hornady's instructions, which is to raise ram to highest...

    Rifle Scopes Did I get lucky and not need to bed this mount, or should I do it anyway?

    I've got a Savage 110 and am mounting an EGW 20 MOA base. I placed it on the receiver, and pressed on the front. Tapped on the base. It's not raised and appears to be making solid contact. I snugged the front two screws down, and tapped and otherwise prodded the rear. No discernible gap at...

    Rifle Scopes Best Scope Value when factoring in Law Enforcement Discount (question for the LEOs here.)

    Hi, This is a slight twist on the typical "What riflescope should I buy" question. I'm fortunate that some optic companies offer discounts to law enforcement officers making private purchases. I know Vortex, Leopold, and I think Burris offer discounts. There may be others. (If you know...

    Vortex Diamondback 20-60x60 Spotting Scope - Any feedback

    Vortex Diamondback 20-60x60mm spotting scope is out now but I haven't been able to find any good reviews. Does anyone have any experience with it? I have a lead on a good deal for one but I have a few questions. Is it worth the premium over the discontinued but still available Vortex...
