    Taming a 16" 308 flame

    I put a JP Compensator - Large Profile on 16" 308 Winchester barrel for the main purpose of helping muzzle rise. It helps a lot with recoil, but flames up and blocks the scope. Is it the JP Compensator along with the shorter barrel causing this? Would different ammo make a difference...

    AR-10 style caliber and bullet recomendation

    I'm looking to get an AR-10 style semi-auto. I'm interested in external ballistics, just punching paper and ringing steel so terminal ballistics are not a priority. Which caliber and bullet will keep its velocity and buck the wind the most and still fit in the mag? (I'm considering 243, 260...

    AR-10 style lower that takes Pre-Ban mags

    I know Armlite AR-10s will take modified M14 mags. Will other lowers take pre-ban mags? Ideally I would like to get a GAP-10 in 260 and have it accept pre-ban mags (as I'm stuck in a Mass-hole ban state.) Or should I just go with a M1A? What would I be the trade offs in terms of function...

    New to Spotters

    I need a spotter to qualify at my range to use the longer range. I've never used a spotter before, since 20x at 100yards was plenty from my scope. I have many questions. I'll be shooting steal at longer yards not paper. Am I actually going to get a lot of use out of a new spotter? New or Used or...

    7mm Bullet for 280 Remington with 1-10 twist

    Looking for some suggestion for my first long range class. I got my first Remington 700 in 280 Remington after some good advise from people here.

    Bipod placement

    If I have my bipod mounted all the way out on my fore-rail, I can't reach the bipod while behind the the rifle in prone. I have since moved the bipod back so I can make adjustments to it while staying behind the rifle. I'm not a good enough shooter yet to notice a difference in bipod placement...

    I have a 2-10x40 scope, with a one piece mount on my 20" AR15. I want to use this on my Remington 700 and switch this scope between the two. Should I get scope base with 20 MOA for my 700 if my AR doesn't have any MOA to it? Do I have other options?

    Rifle Scopes Having trouble finding a scope.

    I'm looking for a scope for my cz452 in 22lr. I know what I want but I'm having trouble finding a scope that fits my needs. I love the SWFA SS 10x42HD. But I think the 10x is too high for a 22lr. I would love it if it was a 3-9x42. Here's what I'm looking for: 2-10 power (doesn't have to be...
