Don’t know if this is a random glitch in the matrix or what. I came home to a notification that someone quoted my post in a thread. I didn’t recognize the thread that the notification was referencing, so I assumed someone was quoting a post I made a long time ago. Anyways, I logged in a clicked...

Because I am a dad that loves his daughter, I’m asking any and all Hide members who are Instagram users to go like my daughter’s photo for an upcoming pageant….. Edit: But apparently I have seen the error of my ways. I should have known better, but had a momentary lapse in judgment.

Guys, I’ve found myself in a little bit of a pickle. My wife and I just moved into our new house we built and I was hanging a mirror she purchased for the powder bath. The mirror has those metal “keymod” looking mounting tabs on the back of it. In fact the frame for the mirror is steel and...

I'm close to wrapping up the build on my new home (only took 15 months). Getting ready to purchase a hot water heater and was looking for input from people with actual experience with the Electric Hybrid Water Heaters, specifically the Rheem units. Before any one starts typing, tankless isn't an...

Ever since I went to a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel on my rifle (2013 AI AX) I've had an issue with cratering and sometimes piercing primers. I crater nearly all and pierce probably one every 15 rounds or so. It is a simple fix, but under the clock in a match it has proven to be a pain I'd rather not...

I'm looking at buying a full-length sizing die. I would rather go with a non-bushing type die. I already have a Forster Ultra Micrometer seater, so all I need is an FL die. I've used the RCBS die before, but was wondering if there was a better one out there....Hornady, Forster, etc...

I have finally gotten into the reloading game myself, but I had a shooting buddy who has reloaded for a long time let me use his equipment and give me pointers so I didn't screw up. I had been shooting ammo with 175 SMKs. It shot well, so I wanted to stick with that bullet. I picked a powder (AR...

I'm planning on buying one of the stainless tumbling setups in the next few weeks and had a question for those who currently own one. How large is the "footprint" of the tumbler? I called myself searching online and keep coming up short. I'm trying to determine how much floor/table space it...

Guys, my father has said that he is interested in a spotting scope for Christmas. My mother has asked me to pick one out for him. I know zero about spotting scopes. In fact, the only one I ever tried to use turned me off from them because it was virtually impossible to get the eye relief...

Smart move for Washington. I just hope he (Petersen) knows what he is getting into. He probably couldn't have picked a tougher conference division this year to move to. I've always thought he was talented, but not necessarily challenged at Boise St., so it will be nice to see him coach in...

I have about 350 once-fired pieces of FC brass (.308) that I want to try and reload. I want to reload the brass I have (even if I only get 3 or 4 reloads out of it) before stepping up to better brass. The guy who is going to teach me to reload said he doesn't have a dedicated tool to take...

Gents, A few weeks ago I received my brand new AI AE MkIII. I opted for the Bartlein barrel upgrade (1:10 twist). Tomorrow I am FINALLY getting to go sight the rifle in. I decided to take a serious look down the bore since I would be firing it for the first time and noticed VERY visible...

Gents, I'm travelling to New Orleans at the end of next week for a convention for work. I know that everywhere online is pretty much sold out of powder/primers, but I've read several people talking about their local gun shop having some items in stock. Since I have a 5-6 hour drive ahead of...

I wanted to get some feedback from you guys who are much more well-versed with rifles than I am. I just put my rifle in a new McRees Precision chassis. Today was my first day shooting it....just been dry-firing the last couple of weeks. I get to the range today and check my 100 yard zero and...

I have a Remington 700 that I was intending to put in an AICS, but have also been toying around with the idea of the McCree. I've done a lot of searching on here and on the Internet and I am a little confused. There are certain websites selling the chassis and they have a lot of...

Gents, I plan on putting a 56mm Nightforce scope on my new AE Mk III. If I use one of the canted AI scope mounts (either 18 or 28 MOA), will that big 56mm objective still clear the barrel even with scope caps? If it matters, my Mk II will have a Bartlein on it (in case the contour is different...

I piggybacked this question in a previous thread of mine and it wasn't answered, so I thought I'd ask it here. If I'm getting an AI AE non-folder with a 26" barrel, how long of a cleaning rod will I need. I know I'll have to remove the cheek rest, but I was hoping someone with the same setup...

Gents, I have an AI AE rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor on order. The catch is, I originally requested a 1 in 8" twist 26" barrel, but it will take another month or month and a half to get that barrel. However, a 1 in 8" twist 24" barrel is ready to go and I can have it in a week or...

Guys, I was almost 100% sold on a custom build in 6.5 Creedmoor and found out that I can also get an AI in 6.5....which I did not know. This is another option I'd like to investigate before I amde my final decision. My question is: Does Accuracy International actually make the rifle in 6.5...

Guys, I am planning a target/comp. rifle build and have pretty much settled on 6.5 Creedmoor. It seems like a great round and since I don't yet reload, seems like it is a good choice. I'd like to ask for some assistance regarding the barrel from you guys who are well versed in this chambering...
