I haven't been studying rifles much the past few years so I'm way out of the loop. I'm signed up for an elk hunt next year in Montana, but I'm from the east coast. I was thinking about trying to build a 300 WM bolt gun, maybe in a chassis. I also thought about going with a 6.5 Creedmoor...

I decided to do a little experiment today with my SPS Tactical and some Tula steel case 308. Apparently it wasn't a very good idea. My buddy was on the gun. On the second round, a lot of gas blew back in his face. I opened the bolt and the case was stuck. We removed it by popping it out...

I'm thinking about a McMillan stock for my SPS Tactical. I have it narrowed down to the A3/5, A4, or A5. I would be doing a mixture of positional and bipod shooting. Any recommendations? I'm guessing the A5 is probably the best choice but I'm open to suggestions.

I have a 700 SPS Tactical in a B&C M40 style stock. All it has are standard sling studs. What's the best method for mounting up something like a Vicker's slings (VCAS) to this gun?

How would you mount a Bushnell DMR to an an LR-308 or any other AR style rifle? Being a 34mm tube seems to limit the choices. It seems like a cantilever mount of some sort is necessary to get the scope in the correct position but I can only theorize about it; right now I have an EOTech and I...

Any recommendation what would be a decent one to mount on my DPMS Recon 308? I've kind of set it up as a CQB gun with an EOTech 512. I'm not certain I will ever really need a light, but I do intend to rely on the gun for home defense (I live in a rural area). Should I just go with the...

Hi guys. I'm trying to install a Troy 308 Battlerail on my DPMS Recon. I picked up a Tapco Armorer's tool but as I figured, that was too simple, and the barrel nut is different on the LR-308 than an AR-15. I need to remove the stock barrel nut somehow and get the Troy one on (which is...

Is there a way to have a 5 round 308 Pmag at this point or is there some sort of homemade plug that people are making? I can't find anything that will do this. I'm getting ready to order some DPMS 5 round steel magazines so I can be legal to hunt here in Maine but it would be nice to have a...

This is a little bit out there, I know. If I wanted to build an M110-ish clone from a less expensive gun than the SR-25, is it possible to obtain the gas block to mate up with the suppressor system for that weapon? Or maybe you can't and would have to buy the actual SR-25? Which seems silly...

A person I know claims that there is a way to run .308's in his AR-15 "just by changing the upper." I don't see how that's possible when a .308 round won't even fit through the mag well of his AR-15 lower, and I tried to tell him this, but he is insistent. If this were the case I'm not sure...

Is there such a thing as the LR-308 Pmags in a color other than black?

Hi Guys, I just picked one of these up yesterday on a bit of an impulse. I have a Bushnell TRS-25 on it for now. I'd like to use it for home defense as well as for deer hunting "in the woods," which is mostly how the hunting is around my area. Not a lot of wide open space here. The P-mag...

If I wanted to put my Remington 700 SPS Tactical into one of these chassis, what would I need besides the chassis itself? Right now I have a pretty basic set-up with a Bushnell Elite Tactical 5-15X with Weaver 6 hole "tactical style" rings. No base Any idea how heavy that combination would be?

I don't have a chronograph but I thought I would check to see if any of you guys have tested this combination before? I figure that would be closer for inputting to a ballistics program than what is on the box, which I think is 2650? Thanks.

Not sure if this is the right section or not. What is an acceptable size for a target (steel plate) for a beginner to work on shooting at longer ranges, say 500 to 800 yds? I don't want it to be too big to make it overly easy, but it would be a nice confidence booster to actually hit it... My...

I just put a B & C Medalist A2 stock on my SPS Tactical. Everything seems to be great with it. The only thing that I notice is with the wide, flat foreend my Harris Bipod can slide around on it a bit since the Bipod is shaped to hold on to a rounded foreend. Is this a common problem?

Hi, I downloaded Gunsim onto my Blackberry as a way to get started with long distance shooting. I was messing around with different calibers and comparing Gunsim to the ballistics calcluator at gseven.com. I'm a little puzzled by why Gunsim thinks for instance the 22-250 is such a beast at...

What is the general opinion of this stock? I was looking at the B & C M40 but those seem to be really hard to find in stock anywhere. This stock appears to be available in a few different finishes. I'm mostly looking for something that will ensure the barrel is free-floated on the bipod...

Nothing special yet. An SPS Tactical in .308, Harris Bipod, 15 MOA EGW base, and a Bushnell Elite Tactical 5-15X. Haven't fired it yet, will soon. I see what everyone means about the stock touching when it rests on the bipod. Might not touch on mine but it's very close. A stock upgrade will...

Just received my scope today. I'm new at this game and I know this is a budget scope so bear with me. I assume this is a second focal plane scope and if so is there a particular power I need to be at to use the Mil Dots? The focus adjustment doesn't line up very well with its marks...is there...
