    Help with proChrono digital

    Okay, so this was my first time using a chrono, and I figured it seemed simple enough, in so far as my observations at the range would be sufficient instruction. So, I didn't read instructions and I set the thing up right in front of my bench, which is how I had seen it done. I was getting...

    Rifle Scopes Rimfire scopes from the late 80s for nylon 66

    I was digging through the gun closet at my parents house and came across the Remington nylon 66 that my grandfather gave me for my 10th birthday in 1987. As a kid, I remember always wishing the gun had a scope on it, so I wanted to see it done before I pass the gun to my son. And yes, I am...

    Rifle Scopes Thermal scope with IR aiming laser-will it work?

    I am just curious if IR aiming lasers are limited to being used only with regular night vision (e.g., Gen I, II , III), or if they will also work with thermal night vision.

    Gunsmithing machining a giant scope ring for my spotting scope

    I have two pieces of equipment that I'd like to use together: 1) a 70mm Leica Televid spottings cope; and 2) a Laser Genetics ND 3x50 light. No need to explain the function of the spotting scope. The light is basically like a "poor man's" night vision, which casts a focusable diffused laser...

    Rifle Scopes Using reticle to range from elevated position

    I'll preface by noting that when it comes to scope ranging, I'm a newb with little experience, and pretty much everything I've learned came from this site or the intruction manual for my scope. This past weekend I was scouting my new West Texas deer lease, where I was ranging potential shots...

    Rifle Scopes Weight difference Leupold vx6 3-18x50 vs 3-18x44

    Optics Planet says they begin taking delivery of these before the end of next month. Thus, I've got my hopes up to have one before deer season. I am trying to decide between the 44mm and the 50mm. I often hunt in heavily wooded, low-light conditions, therefore, the 50mm is preferable in this...

    Rifle Scopes 300 blk (AAC blackou) Laser diode?

    I'm about to complete my 300 blk build and I will soon be sighting it in. I love my acu-sight bore sighter, but I doubt I have the propper diode. Since they don't make one expressly for 300blk, does anyone have any idea what diode would work?

    Max range for 300 BLK Super Sonic in 16" vs 18"

    My question is--what is the max effective range of super sonic 300 BLK when fired from 18" barrel vs. when fired from a 16"? NOTE: I'm aware that that the 300BLk was designed primarily for sub sonic use, and the popular view with respect to barrel length is shorter=better. However, the primary...

    300 AAC BLackout 18" vs. 16" barrel

    I'm considering a new 300 Blackout barrell that I will use for hunting. Accordingly,I'm considering an 18" barrel (over a 16") for added range, and I have a few questions: 1. Will I have any significant increases in accuracy with an 18" barrel over a 16" (and if so, to what extent)? 2. Can I...

    Will any laser diode modules fit 6.5 Grendel?

    My favorite tool for sighting in a scope is the Aipoint diodes. Problem is, they dont make one for odd-ball cartridges like 6.5 Grendel. Is there are another standard size that would work for this purpose?

    Learning the ropes

    I'm about to start reloading ammo for the first time, and I want to make sure I don't kill myself. Okay, so I've read several books on the subject and watched countless YouTube videos on how to use the various equipment; however, I've never actually seen someone reload ammo or walk me through...

    Hunting & Fishing Deer hunting with suppressors

    It seems like more states are allowing the use of suppressors when hunting. It seems like this is a good idea since hunters are not likely wearing hearing protectio and, therefore, subject to ear-damaging noise levels. My question is, why hasn't Texas (which tends to be a "hunter-friendly"...

    Stuck Cartridges

    I have a White Oaks Armament upper (223), and I was doing some plinking with Wolf poly coats, when I experienced a stuck cartridge. It was stuck to the extent I had to use penetrating oil and a barrel rod/rubber mallet to get it out. I super-cleaned the gun barrel chamber etc. Then, the very...
