    Skull Monkey Gear Ammo Pouch & Molly Stix Review

    I like my Skull Monkey Gear shooting mat a lot, and while browsing their Facebook page images, I noticed an ammo carrier that I thought would be perfect for my needs. To date, I’ve carried my ammo in one of those 50 round green plastic boxes with the snap lid. I can’t stand the rattling of the...

    Skull Monkey Gear Shooting Mat Review

    As I delve into the world of precision shooting, I thought I might do a couple of reviews on some of the items that I pick up along the way. This is the first one. Being a relatively new precision shooter, I was in the market for a shooting mat to replace USGI foam pad I had been using. I was...

    Savage SAV-1 Trigger Set-Up

    I have a Stevens rifle with the SAV-1 trigger installed. There is next to no pre-travel on this trigger, or at least how I have it set up. Is this OK, or will I suffer any inaccuracies as a result? I like it, but every shot is a surprise at a trigger pull of about 2 lbs. I'm used to grittier...

    Question about trimming new brass

    I'm brand new to reloading, so please bear with me. After resizing (mainly to round out the necks), my new Winchester 7-08 brass measures anywhere from 2.025" to 2.033" in length. Most cases fall into the 2.027" to 2.030" range. My rifle's chamber can handle case length up to 2.062". Should...

    Gunsmithing Nail polish in trigger screws

    As I understand it, this is the best way to prevent screw movement after adjustment. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. It does seem that blue loctite would begin to set before all the adjustments were made. Do you just place nail polish on the visible screw threads immediately before...

    Mounting XLR Cheek rest

    I'd like to mount an XLR cheek rest on my B&C A2 Medalist. Try as I might, I do not seem to be able to find any instructions to do so using commercially available hardware. I am sure I can cobb something together, but enough folks have them mounted where surely someone has figured it all out...

    Gunsmithing Stevens 200 and B&C Medalist Fit

    Hi - long time lurker here. Tons of great info on this site. Finally getting around to building what I hope will be a great precision rifle. I started with a Stevens 200. I was excited today as my B&C Medalist stock arrived, and I got to change out the stock. Looking down the barrel...
