    16" Krieger Barrel for Springfield M1A SOCOM 16

    Hey guys, so I have been over at M14forum.com and spread the word there but I figured this was a good place to get some feedback. I have been in the process of building myself a short, handy semi-precision rig out of my Springfield Socom 16 and spoke with Krieger barrels. They seem willing to...

    300 win mag barrel conundrum.

    I definitely agree that you only have one set of ears and you should do everything you can to preserve them. I honestly haven't messed with any of the new electronic protection for hunting as this is just the way I grew up learning to hunt with my dad. I definitely am interested in looking into...

    300 win mag barrel conundrum.

    Rob, I can appreciate the fact that shooting without hearing protection is indeed never a good idea when it can be avoided. But I have to agree with him, where I hunt I certainly can not have ear pro in all the time if I want to hear whats going on around me. And usually when the buck pops out I...

    24" or 26" 300 win mag out to a mile?

    So I know the 26" will give me best velocity however I was wondering what you all thought if I went with a 24" barrel. I am sure it will get out there but in all of your experience, does 2" of barrel make a big difference when you are out that far? I am leaning towards the 24" for my next build...

    Well she is finally done!

    Re: Well she is finally done! Love the 20" barrel, shoots great, it's handy and still can take me to 1000 yards. Plus the brake threads off by hand when I finally get around to picking up a suppressor.

    Rem 700 Varmint @ Dicks for $350 on Black Friday

    Re: Rem 700 Varmint @ Dicks for $350 on Black Friday I think I am missing something on that. If the rifle is $350 and you bringing yours in for the lower price how will it be $300? The price of the rifle is actually $450 before the mail in rebate. Does the lower price include the rebate?

    Gunsmithing 338 Lapua in Remington 700 Action?

    Just curious as to if it is a good idea or not to use a long action 700 action for a 338 lapua. I have read things about wall thickness, etc. but would a magnum action be different from say a 7mm mag or 300 win mag? I know they make the Remington 700 MLR in 338 lapua but I am not sure if they...

    Can a 70 MOA scope and 20 MOA base get me to 1000?

    I have a Remington 7005r being cut to either a 20" or 22" barrel that I will be putting a leupold mark 4 ER/T 6.5-20x50mm M5 on. It has 70 MOA of adjustment and in a perfect world which is usually not true I would have 35 up and 35 down. So lets say even with a few MOAs of wiggle room I zero and...

    Re: My head is spinning....Leupold M1 or M5?? Vinson, I recently learned about the mil holds with the FFP being true at any magnification setting and quickly realized how useful that is. However I never thought about moving targets working the same way with mil holds. This would probably be...
