    Longest Shooting Surplus Rifle

    The non altering option is what sold it, they also make a muzzle break that does not alter the weapon, which is pretty amazing. I see your point of "fairness" towards well used rifles and corrosive ammo, but that doesn't mean much for the guy who wants it for more than a collector piece. I...

    Longest Shooting Surplus Rifle

    Having had some limited experience with most of the rifles mentioned in the "tops" of most of your lists, I'll add my 2 cent. I believe the most precise surplus rifle is the K31 swiss. The only thing holding it back is the iron sights, they are "usable". I found some off-set mount on brownells...

    K 31 swiss optics options availibility

    Yeah I am not going with mojo....But I am interested in the diopter, and I also saw some snap-on sights made by the swiss they called an upgrade. The availability is the problem, no one has them in stock anywhere for the last month or more

    Shooting through only means that your round is not imparting all of it's energy into the target.

    K 31 swiss optics options availibility

    Recently purchased and I am elated with it! It is extremely accurate and lots of fun at the range. I found an off-set mount through brownells so I can put a scope on it if I ever decide to hunt with it. What I was hard pressed to find, however, was any kind of rear sight upgrade, or diopter...

    Hunting & Fishing .308 for midsize game????

    I personally hunt with 150g barnes ttsx pills, that said, Any .308 ammo will kill a deer or hog if placed in a vital area. I personally know someone who regularly kills large pigs and deer with "inadequate" .223 ammo and have seen him drop a 280lbs hog at 200+ yards...regardless what you hear, a...

    Hunting & Fishing Animal Internals Diagrams

    I don't know a vertebrate than can take a shot behind the ear or in the upper neck and run away, after lots of "traditional" shots on deer and especially wild hogs, I have decided taking the DRT high neck shot is better than walking 150 yards through head high briars....

    I went out today with my father-in-law to show him some long range shooting, which he has never tried before. I have a HOWA .308 20 inch that can reach out there pretty good, so I told him to bring a rifle and we would set them up and have a good time shooting out at 500-1000 yards. We hit the...
