    Got an Atlas monopod in a package deal, can I use it on my Manners T3?

    I haven't seen too many Monopods on relatively traditional stocks before. Wondering if that's even done, or if it's a good idea. The Monopod is the rail-mount type. I assume a little length of rail would be mounted underneath the butt stock??? There is a sling stud at the very rear/bottom...

    Range Report Bullet Flight Program Questions

    What is "%RH" in the Bullet Flight program's 'modify' page? Also, do I understand correctly that if I am downloading local weather that the Pressure is adjusted for sea level and so I DO enter altitude info? THNX

    300 Win Mag barrel length, what am I losing at 24"? Did I blow it?

    I attended a 1000 yard match today as an observer, and the guys there were telling me my new Krieger barrel should be at least 26" to avoid losing the benefit of the 300 win mag round. At least for the foreseeable future, I intend to run 190SMK factory ammo. I just ordered the 5R stainless...

    New Krieger 300 win mag, what to tell Krieger about the chamber?

    I am having a 300 Win mag built on an SPS. The new rifle will go to Krieger for barreling. At this point, I am not loading my own yet. My intention is for this to be a long range rifle, say 700 to 1200 yards. Given that I will be using factory match ammo for the time being, what load and what...

    The lowdown on 700 action clones

    I have about every damn thing I want in my safe but a bolt gun. So my mission this year is to build (with a local expert's help) a precision bolt gun that can wreak havoc to 1K. Probably 308, but my AR-10 has so exceeded my expectations, that I am going to need a hella bolt gun to outrun it by...

    Have a chance to buy an old M1A . . .

    Serial #0427xx, walnut, GI model, like new condition, possibly unfired. (It's been in a safe for the past 18 years) What should I expect to pay? I think I can get it for 1,100, maybe 1k.

    Building a middy. . . . Which BCM barrel?

    I am ordering a mid length 16" or 14.5" upper from BCM. Are their BFH barrels significantly better than their standard barrels? They seem to be about a third more money bought separately. Also, any reason not to use the Yankee Hill 12" hand guard on a build like this? Thanks

    Rifle Scopes Difficulty w/Focus vs Parallax on the NF F1

    I had a bit of difficulty adjusting the focus on my Nightforce F1 today. The adjustment is so fine that, except for the at the extreme ends of the adjustment, it seemed pretty much in focus. And, it take quite a few turns of the eyepiece before anything seems to change at all. But, after first...
