    Rifle Scopes DMR Rifle Build Scope Help

    koshkin can you explain you affiliation to athlon? How did you come by that scope? I can get the Athlon ares 3-15 for 720. I am just waiting on vortex to see their military discount. The burris 2-10 is 600. I see the 34mm tube as a downside on weight. I am looking at another 5 OZ in a mount.

    Rifle Scopes DMR Rifle Build Scope Help

    ZeroMOA that is a pretty nice setup. I will put that one on the list. It is a bit heavy, but I am sure she is nice and clear. deersniper there is a snowball's chance in hell that I will put a more expensive optic on an already confused rifle. If the veracity would have some ranging...

    Rifle Scopes DMR Rifle Build Scope Help

    I am trying to make the FNAR into something useful. Goals for this scope: 1) shooting for groups at 100 - 300 yards on paper 2) ringing steel to 1000 yards (308 win) 3) rapid deployability to other rifles. 4) moderate weight (under 2 lbs with mount). FNAR is very front heavy and I would like to...

    Aftermarket Remington 700 actions

    I know how to use the internet... I am not an idiot. Heck, Al Gore is my uncle. He taught me everything I know ;) Seriously though... I already did the google thing for about two hours. I just hit a little analysis paralysis and couldn't move on. There really isn't a great place to see...

    Aftermarket Remington 700 actions

    I love the articles on 6mmbr.com. It is a great source of information, but they don't seem to publish new things anymore. This is one of my favorite articles: Custom Actions The article is great, but lawton is out of business??? and I wonder if there are other good names on the market to...

    .300 Win Mag

    At a certain price, I'd rather have two guns I wouldn't rule out a Remington 700 build. You open yourself up to great custom aftermarket actions at a really good price. A lot of auxiliaries are made for the 700. The trick with getting around the gunsmith is to put a Savage barrel on the rifle...

    Rifle Scopes High Magnification Scopes???

    Crap... I did the math wrong. 50 moa would be +/- 25. A 20 moa base would be +45/-5 which seems pretty ideal. That should be 45 ft of bullet drop at 1200 yards.

    Rifle Scopes High Magnification Scopes???

    I have a 300 Winchester magnum that I am building to be a long range rifle. The purpose of this rifle is to validate a ballistic calculator on which I am working and perform long range load development. More importantly, it is NOT intended as a hunting rifle nor as a tacticool rifle. With that...

    Suppressors Shopping for a supressor

    Re: Shopping for a supressor I am definitely am not a big fan of full auto dumps. I have a hard time throwing a quarter downrange... let alone a whole roll. If I were to get into a 3 gun type of shooting, bunch of targets in quick succession, would the suppressor hold up to say 3 magazines...

    Suppressors Shopping for a supressor

    Re: Shopping for a supressor 1) From the little research I have done over the past couple days I guess you can go down in caliber. I have a 308, building 300WM now, purchasing a 223 AR15 and possibly a 300 blackout upper (which is obviously 308 cal). I would love for one to work for all my...

    Suppressors Shopping for a supressor

    Hi everybody, I am looking for a nice suppressor for a 300 win mag. I know next to nothing about suppressors, but that they make things quieter. I want to be nice and polite at the range. I figure it would be a great thing to do for my ears and everybody around. So was wondering what the prices...

    Range Report Books on Ballistics

    Re: Books on Ballistics I would recommend the following: 1) McCoy is the master of all books. There is a reason why all other books that were written after that cite his book. The book was written after he passed and compiled by his peers which speak to his life as a person and ballistician...

    Re: Is LawtonMachine out of Business? When was Lawton Sr's passing? Its a true shame to see a good (company) name be ruined.

    Gunsmithing Is LawtonMachine out of Business?

    I have been shopping for a rifle action and came across the Lawton website. They do not have a phone number listed on their website and I have not heard back from them for 3 different e-mails.

    Range Report Windage Effects (Ballistic Calculations)

    Re: Windage Effects Yea... I think we may never know what McCoy used for the example problem 9.1. I ended up splurging on Carlucci to see if he includes more information on the 6 DOF calculations. Thanks for clearing up the confusion. Maybe Bryan may weigh in on this 'cause I am sure that he...
