    Velocity spread

    Is it normal to get extreme spreads of 100 fps when hand loading. Or is this a little high?

    New Surgeon Rifle

    I'm lucky enough to have a wife that allows me to own guns. I don't hunt, but I grew up in Texas and have always owned and shot guns. With the current politcal climate, my wife asked if I should purchase another rifle. I already have an AR, so I asked if I could go ahead on another rifle...

    Range Report Temperature of ammo

    I live in the Pacific Northwest. I still try to shoot thru the winter months (when it's not raining). But the typical temperature is 30 to 40 degrees. What do you do with he ammo at the range? Do you keep the ammo warm somehow or just shoot cold ammo? I purchased a new rifle (300 Norma mag)...

    Rifle Scopes IOR or SWFA SS

    I have purchased a surgeon rifle and need a scope. I spent all my money on the rifle so I can't fork out a lot on a scope. I was looking at the SWFA SS HD 5-20 and the IOR 6-24x56. Does anyone have experience with these two and if so, could you give me your assessment of the optics and...

    Rifle Scopes I have narrowed my choices

    Ok, I appreciate everyone's earlier comments on my high end choices. I have decided to stick with 6.5 Creemoor for my rifle build and my two scope choices are (in no particular order): 1. Premier Heritage Tactical 5-25x56 Illuminated Gen 2 Mildot, FFP, Mil/rad turrets, double turn, CW rotation...

    308 or 6.5CM

    I'm having second thoughts on my caliber choice. I originally wanted a rifle built in 6.5CM. Now I'm second guessing that decision. The shooting range I belong to only goes to 600 yards. I don't reload. I'm thinking I might have trouble getting good 6.5 ammo as only a few companies make it...

    Suppressors How to purchase a suppressor

    Hello, I planning on getting a rifle built in 2012 and would like to get a suppressor. Most likely a TBAC. Do you purchase the suppressor first or do the federal paperwork first? Do you have to have the brand, model and serial of the suppressor on the federal forms? Thanks for the info. Tim

    Rifle Scopes high end scopes

    I have done some research here and on other sites and it seems there is a lot of talk about S&B, USO, Premier, but not as much about Hensoldt. Does Hensoldt compare well with this group? Any wekanesses, strengths that anyone may have experience with? Thank You Tim

    GAP M40A3 or Crusader

    I'm looking at the above mentioned models. I have a few questions that ya'll will surely be able to answer. I did not want to bother George since he is at shot this week. 1. The m40 series uses a 1:12 twist where as the crusader uses 1:11. Why does the military use 1:12 but most other...
