    May AZ LRPRS monthly match

    Thanks Matt for letting an old benchrest shooter handout and learn. It was a fun experience and I've already contacted my gunsmith about getting a custom rifle project online - quickly. Until then, I'll be happy to rub shoulders with some excellent shooters and take a few photos…

    May AZ LRPRS monthly match

    I've been shooting short range benchrest competitions for many years and I'm looking for a change of pace from shooting a 6PPC from a bench. I'm wondering if you folks would mind my showing up this Saturday to observe, ask dumb questions, and take a few photos.

    Hunting & Fishing 25-06 vs 257 Weatherby Mag

    I recently helped a friend on his mule deer hunt here in AZ. His rifle of choice was a 257 Weatherby Magnum and he eventually took a very respectable typical 4x4 that green scored 183. I've never hunted or shot 25 calibers before and was definitely impressed with how lethal his 257 was on that...

    Rifle Scopes Fixed Power Scope Recommendations

    I'm looking for a fixed power (6.0) scope for a hunting rifle I'm putting together. I've been considering the Leupold FX-3 6x42; however, I don't want to make a purchase decision until I've evaluated other options. Any recommendations or comments are sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

    Gunsmithing Rebarreling Howa 1500

    I've heard a few folks say that removing the stock barrel on a Howa is a serious pain. I've got an opportunity to pick-up a very clean 1500 for a good price. I'm most interested in using it as a foundation for a humble custom build. First item would be a new barrel chambered in 223 AI. I'm very...

    Manners MCS-DBM Mini Chassis & Howa 1500

    I'm planning all the parts and pieces for a 223 predator hunting rifle. Thinking about using a Howa 1500 with a Manners MCS-T stock. Does the new Manners MCS-DBM mini chassis work with the Howa 1500? Thanks.

    .223 for newbie

    Re: .223 for newbie I'm currently saving my shells for a couple of 223's for my son and I. In the mean time, we've been shooting my dad's old S&W 223. This elderly stick shoots very accurately. I've found out that the S&W action was made by Howa. In fact, we have been so impressed with the...

    AR Phobias from a Bolt Action Guy

    My name is Jeff and I am an AR-Phobe. I've never owned or even shot an AR type weapon. I think they look very sexy in an industrial/technical sort of way - kind of like a hot chick in leather. I also know they can be made to shoot very accurately. That being said, I've always had one major...

    Remington 700 XCR Tactical vs. Cooper The Phoenix

    I'm looking to get my son a quality 223 for his college graduation. I want something that has good accuracy out of the box, quality trigger/action/barrel/stock, and would serve as a good foundation for a future 223AI custom build. Both these rifles seem like good candidates. What say ye? Pro &...

    Hunting & Fishing My First E-Caller

    Well, I just pulled the trigger (no pun intended) on my first e-caller. It is a FoxPro Fury. I've been researching different e-callers for several months and finally made a decision. While I don't think any brand of e-caller is perfect for every situation, I do think the Fury will fill the bill...

    RL15 vs Win 748 in 5.56

    Re: RL15 vs Win 748 in 5.56 Similar performance with RL15 being cleaner; however, 748 measures like a dream. You can really throw consistent charges with a ball powder like 748.
