    Rifle Scopes Nighttime Hog Rig

    Finally. It only took me about 5 years to get my night vision rig set up for some hog hunting or night varmint dispatching. It started with an ITT PVS-14 night vision tube. Then came an EOTech 552 NV-compatible holographic sight. The last pieces were from LaRue Tactical, an LT110 and LT133...

    Just a Tool Tip

    I've been processing a lot of new and once-fired brass lately and I thought I'd pass along a tip that has saved me lots of time and lots of pain (and helped me do a better job). Several of the things we do to brass involve grabbing the case with our fingers and squeezing it while one tool or...

    Giraud-Bench Source Annealing Temps

    Just got my new Giraud annealing machine (Sweet!) and have a question for those who use it or other annealers. What temperature do you shoot for on the neck? The instructions for the Bench Source machine say to go for 650 and the Giraud instructions say to go for 750. THIS oft-cited...

    Breaking In a Trigger?

    In the last month or so, I've got two new LaRue OBRs - one in .308 and one in .223. They both came with the Geissele SSA combat trigger (2 stage). The trigger in the .223 is great, but in the bigger gun it has a bad creep that is driving me crazy. I'm thinking of having the trigger worked on...

    Stripper Clip 'Spoon' for .7.62 ??

    There are several options for loading .223 mags from stripper clips, from the old USGI spoons to the Maglula offerings. But has anyone seen a spoon or mag feeder built for 7.62? With the growing popularity of the AR10-style guns, you'd think somebody would be making this simple part. The only...

    Lapua Scenars - Any Issues?

    I just got a box each of Lapua Scenar 155gr and 167gr to try loading for my .308. I've never used them before. Do these have any special likes or dislikes in your experience? Are they anything like the Berger VLDs where distance to the lands is an issue? Thanks.

    Range Report - New GAP .308

    First let me say I am not even in the same class as most guys on this forum when it comes to skill and experience with rifles. I shot competitive shotguns for years and shot varmints and hunted deer for decades in West Texas where long shots are common, but I never did any match shooting and...

    First Precision Rifle, GAP Crusader (pics)

    Yesterday I picked up my first-ever precision rifle, a Crusader from GA Precision in .308. The first thing I realized is that I'll have to hit the weight room if I want to do any offhand shooting with this bad boy. For years I've tried to get the best I could from stock guns with minor mods...
