Alright, I'm building an AR15 in 6.5 Grendel for shooting 600-1000yds from a bipod (this is not to be slung tactical rifle, strictly long distance). The 600yd mark is my primary goal with all distance between there and 1000yd as gravy. I'll list my "build sheet" and all of you with experience...

I know of a guy trying to sell a rifle as described in the subject line and is advertising it as a true 1000yd bolt gun. I've shot F T/R with my own purpose built bolt gun and I have my own beliefs as to whether or not this 16" stick is capable at 1000yds. What are your thoughts on this rifle...

I've located a complete AR 9mm pistol upper and a complete AR 9mm carbine lower. Could I purchase both assemblies and possess them legally as long as I do not mate them together while I wait for my tax stamp conversion application to be processed? My FFL will be taking care of everything for...

I'm a little embarrassed as well as not really sure which forum would be appropriate for this post, but I have a question. I was offered some military surplus ammo for free if I would drive 3 hours each way to get it. The ammo is 9mm, 5.56x45, and 7.62x51. The only description concerning...

If anyone could be so kind, what would you recommend for a 9mm AR build on a budget? Also, I would like to use a standard AR15 lower to help reduce the cost, where I could just build an upper so I could swap out the upper while using the same lower. I could build a lower later on. If this is...

I've got a carbine and am going to put the Magpul MOE fixed stock on it. Will the gas block on my rifle allow for enough gas to cycle properly with a full size buffer and buffer and buffer spring or can I just stick with the carbine length buffer and spring? Would it be advantageous to change...

I have a friend wanting to buy a .308 bolt gun for his son's 15th bday next Tuesday and wants to stay under $400 if possible. He would also like it to be a combo rifle. I've found a Mossberg 4x4 at around $380 and a Remington 770 SPT for $306 on buds gun shop. Are either of these worth their...

I apologize if this has been discussed ad nauseum but was just hoping to get a little advice. I served in the USMC and got out back in 04. I'm very familiar with Colt M16A2 service rifle but little with the A4 carbines. I'm also brand new to the civy side of these rifles as well and know nothing...

I have a rifle that was built from a .270 REM700 donor action. It was built for F T/R in .308. Currently, it is a single shot with the floor of the action bonded. The stock is a McMillan A4. I was wondering if there is anyone that makes a long action magazine that is design to carry the short...

I know this isn't the proper forum but I just wanted to let you guys know that I have my F T/R rifle for sale in the firearms for sale forum. If you think you might be interested, check it out and send me a PM. My apologies if this post is out of line and I understand if any mods want to...

Sort of an odd, newb type question, but if you were going to describe new, average, and experienced shooters by MOA, what would the MOA's be. Just reading this site in the different forums, one is led to believe that if you aren't a sub-MOA shooter at every distance known to man, you should be...

Lock time is the time between the break of the trigger and the striking of the primer by the firing pin, correct? So, since this time is variable, and adjustable, would I be correct in saying that an F T/R shooter would benefit this more than a Benchrest shooter because the F T/R shooter has...

I have a REM700 BDL rechambered in .308, up from .270. I've probably shot close to 400 rounds since I picked up the rifle from the gunsmith. I don't know a lot of the technical details that I should probably know but was hoping that someone could help me figure out what is going on. I've been...

I was wondering if the experts would care to share any secret techniques that they may have for us newbs when it comes to combating the dreaded enemy, Mirage. As I'm still learning, the techniques that I use are to back off on my power until the mirage is minimal (or until I'm at the absolute...

I'm running a REM700 action with the factory trigger adjusted to 2 pounds. I like it ok, but it could definitely stand to be upgraded. I actually like two-stage triggers better. Any suggestions?

I've searched this site but haven't been able to find a direct enough answer for my question. If I take the same load (bullet, bullet seating depth, powder, powder weight, primer, primer seating depth, case dimensions all the same) but simply change only the brass itself, from Lapua to...

Anyone here familiar with the "Ironworks" gunshow in Columbus, GA? Would I be able to buy primers and powder at this show? TIA

Ok, it's time for the experts to tear me a new one. I tested 5 different loads today at the range and I think I know what I need to know, but I want to get your thoughts and explanations of what is going on here. As you can see, I used a piece of poster board that had graph lines on it. I...

Anyone have much experience with the .308 208Amax? I'm going to try working up a load for this bullet. I'm going to be using it with new Winchester brass and CCI BR2 primers. What would be a good powder to use with this and what would be a good grain to start at for that powder? Would Hogdon...

Nevermind the fact that I was the only one shooting F T/R, or even a scoped rifle for that matter (everyone else was shooting service rifle). All joking aside, I felt I did pretty good considering I was using Southwest Ammo's run-n-gun ammo (which by my research is 175smk's stuffed into LC...
