    Getting Back Into Precision Shooting – Rifle Purchase Advice Needed

    I’m not a precision shooter like most of you here. But for a few years I played around with it and had a lot of fun. Because of life stuff I wasn’t shooting anymore so I sold my rifle to a friend 3-4 years ago. I haven’t shot since then. I was shooting a POF .308 with all sorts of goodies. It...

    Diet Help Part Dux

    Movie Theater American Hustle

    If you’re into this sort of thing go see it. Great movie. I can BELIEVE how fat Christian Bale got for this part! Holy smokes! Hunger Games chick is smoking hot as usual. I go to the theater 1-2 times a year. This was well worth it.

    Diet Help Please

    I need some help here guys. And a lot of you seem to know what you are doing. First, the back story. Way back. When I was 19yrs old I was 6’ 127lb. I’m “bird boned”. I didn’t want to be 127lb so I started going to the gym. For the most part I lifted weights until I was 26yrs old. I made...

    Going From Gas To Bolt?

    Well, I'm seriously considering selling my POF 308 and getting a 308 (or 338 if I could justify/afford it) bolt gun. I'm relatively new to precision shooting and to be frank I pretty much suck at shooting a gas gun. Bolt guns on the other hand I'm pretty good at. Every time I get behind a bolt...

    What Do You Think Of This Range Idea?

    I’m just spit ballin here. I already have a business to grow, I really don’t need another. But I get “ideas” sometimes and its fun to take them for a short test drive and see what can be done with them. So here is the situation, and I what I am really wondering is do a lot of people feel like...

    Suppressors How To Suppress And Stay Short

    Let me first start off by saying that I have nearly zero experience with suppressors. I got to play with a MP5 that had one once and the range near me had one that they let me screw on to my HK USP45 Tactical. I do know how the function though. Last October it became legal to own a suppressor...

    Rifle School Suggestions

    Wondering if you guys (and gals) can help me out here. My Dad and I are looking to meet up somewhere for a vacation (he lives in AZ, I live in MI). He was thinking something like Hawaii or Central America, which sounds great. But those kind of trips get boring to me. Just sitting on the beach...

    Rifle Scopes Can't Figure Out Good 45deg mount

    Man oh man, I’m having a hell of a time finding mount for what I want to do. I’m not even sure there is such a thing. I can’t fit a BUIS under the rear of my scope on my POF, and I can’t see a way around it aside from mounting the scope a mile off the rail which I don’t want to do at all. But...

    1913 Rail To Vice Adapter

    I have a bench/workstation that I built years back for doing suspension design/work. It is also perfectly suited to cleaning guns. One thing that would be nice to have is a quick release 1913 to “chunk or metal/nylon/etc” so I could flip my upper over, put the adapter on the rail and then clamp...

    Updated POF 308 problems

    Below is a post I had in a different thread about the issues with my new POF (20" .308). If you haven’t seen them they will bring you up to speed (also a link to the original thread). POF had my rifle less than 24hrs and already had it on the way back to me. They spec’d out the chamber, cleaned...

    62gr Green Tip Paint “Flaking” WTF???

    I have some 62gr “Green Tip” for my S&W M&P15 that I have not run very much. I think I may have put 100rds through it about a year ago. No feed issues at all. But… I was just cleaning the rifle and when I finished I cycled about 10rds through it (with the charging handle) and for some reason...

    .308 vs. 7.62

    As some of you know I had some issues with my .308 POF the first time I shot it (there is another thread on this). I think I have everything all sorted and will be leaving here in a few to go test it out. That being said someone sent me this a few minutes ago and I wanted to get the “collective...

    New POF .308 Issues Advice Needed

    So I went out to the local 100m range on Monday to run some rounds through the 20” .308 POF I just picked up last week and had all sorts of issues. It started by having feed issues which I just chalked up to it being new, tight and not run in. I had two different kinds of mag and the both acted...

    Rifle Scopes Trijicon AccuPoint FFP or not?

    I’m looking at a Trijicon AccuPoint scope and on their site it does not say if it is a FFP unit. I’m guessing if it was they would advertise it but I figured it would be better to ask. Anyone know if the AccuPoint’s are a first focal plane scope? Linky to Trijicon site Thanks Jason

    Rifle Scopes Battery-Less Reflex Sight Needed

    I’m looking for a battery-less “Reflex” sight with either 0 or 1x magnification (preferably zero magnification) that I can mount at 45deg to the scope on my semi .308. My scope will probably be a Trijicon AccuPoint 2.5-10 power (no batteries) and I want something in case I need to switch to...
