    ESS eye pro

    I bought a set of ESS Suppressor shooting glasses and wore them on the range all last week. My ears and head are definately thanking me! If you wear muffs on the range definately check these out. The ear pieces are extra thin to fit under muffs without pressing them into your head and ears...

    Mcree chassis, Folder or No?

    After weeks of debate on which chassis I wanted, I finally decided on the Mcree. But now I can't decide to get the folder or not. I have never had a folding stock on a rifle and can't really think of a time that I wished I had one. But I can think of a couple reasons to have one (shorter...

    Badger EFR on a Rem 700 LTR?

    Has anybody installed a Badger EFR on a Rem 700 LTR? The top of the forend of the stock looks a little thin (about 1.5 inches nearest I can tell). The stock is a little fatter downward from the top but I'm not sure there is enough meat in the stock to put one in.
