With my money from graduating high school and money left over from expected tuition, I was toying with the idea of selling most my Remington 700 (I'd keep the scope, bipod, and sling) and between those three sources, buy a DTA SRS A1. I talked it over with my dad and he mentioned how recent it...

For shits and giggles, I decided to go to my local Dunhams today and noticed that they have two boxes of 308 on the shelves. The one on the right has been there since about January/February. I'm amazed that they haven't lowered their prices. This stuff isn't even match ammo. The one on the...

I'm planning on getting a suppressor, but unfortunately, they don't stock ones from TBAC. I'm going to ask them if they can special order, but if they don't/can't they do stock Surefire, Gemtech, AAC, and Silencerco suppressors. I'm looking for best repeatability, least amount of POI shift, and...

I've been running a Mcree's precision chassis and 5 round mag for a couple of months now and have noticed that with a full magazine, it's very hard to load the first round from the magazine. For comparison, I've noticed that in YouTube videos it looks really easy to cycle the bolt on a full...

How well do the Nightforce bikini's fit on the SWFA SS 5-20? I'm currently running a pair of BC flip caps, but after breaking two pairs that were on another scope, I don't really trust them.

I didn't fee like starting up two threads side by side, so I'm just going to make one thread on both of them. First is why are some guys running just the front flip cover on their scope. I've seen the guys on Art of the Precision Rifle and Lowlight running that setup in the online training...

Anyone know how long these have been back ordered? I placed an order on one on Feb 26 and it's just been waiting. The product page didn't say anything about it being back ordered. It'd be nice to get it in since it's almost impossible to turn the magnification ring with winter gloves on.

After reading through the hearing loss with electronic muffs thread, I'm considering getting a can for my gun sooner rather than later. While I'd really like to get a TBAC 30P-1, with my meager wage of $20 a week (I'm a high school student, so I can only work part time), I won't be able to get...

Whenever I shoot my rifle from the prone, it always hops to the left and opens my groups up to 1.5MOA. I'm not really sure why. I'm guessing that part of the reason is that I can't really load the bipod. Whenever I try to, the stock feet on my Atlas just skid forward. So I guess what I'm...

I'm newish to centerfire rifle shooting (160 rounds down the tube) and have been shooting a Remington 700 AAC-SD on a Mcree's Precision chassis with an SWFA SS HD 5-20 on top. What accuracy should I be expecting with SW Ammo 175's SMKs or FGMM 168 SMKs? I've been shooting about 1-1.5 MOA...

One thing I've noticed is that the Savage Mk II doesn't have many stock options. There's a Manners, Boyd's, and a couple of other stocks. Most, if not all (except the Manners) are made of wood. The Boyd's Tacticool stock is made of a really soft wood. I'm considering making a full aluminum...

I thought I'd share a project I've been working on at our Career Technical Center. I've been running our Haas Mini Mill for a while now and decided to make a new forend for my Mcree's Precision Chassis. I was trying to go for weight savings while maintaining strength and try to program it...

I recently found out the one of my friends has reloading equipment and said that all I need are the dies (and obviously the bullets themselves). I checked Midway and see a multitude of dies there. I'm mainly looking towards RCBS for their quality I've heard about. Which one would you guys...

I just got my SS in today and am really liking it over my BSA. One thing I'm concerned about is that I guess you can unscrew the front objective bell. I noticed this when I was trying to remove the front butler creek cap I was twisting while pulling and noticed that the objective bell was...

I'm currently running a BSA "Cool Guy" scope. The $250 one from Midway with FFP and mil knobs with a mil reticle and says "TACTICAL" sixteen times on the box (I counted and it actually does). While it's tracking fine and holding zero on my 308, I've been looking at the SWFA fixed 10x mil...

I got Triad Tactical's shooting mat in today and really like it. One thing that bugged me was the straps flopping around with the mat rolled up. This is a really simple mod that you can do in about 5 minutes and results in not having any loose straps when the mat's rolled up. Sorry about the...

With the recent addition of my Remington 700, I'm running out of space in my small gun "cabinet" where I store both my guns and ammo. For those that store them separately, where do you usually keep it? Also, where do you keep range stuff like ear pro, rear bags, etc.?

What would be the best ammo for the price? I'm going to be shooting my rifle out to 500+ yards paper punching and steel ringing. Southwest Ammo seems to be backlogged quite a bit at the moment and I get paid about $30-$35 a week (I'm a high school student working part time). Also, the local...

I know that this has been talked about ad nauseam and I apologize for my ignorance but I'm getting my first centerfire rifle, a Remington 700 AAC-SD and am not sure if I should break in the barrel or not. My Savage Mk II I didn't break in the barrel and it's able to shoot half inch groups at 50...

I got my Mcree stock in and I'm really liking it. I got it with the FDE cerakote and a 5 round mag. The remington should come in later this week. I noticed that when inserting the magazine, there's a lot more resistance than I thought. I guess the good thing about it is that it won't wobble...
