    .338 Lapua side folder vs bull pup options?

    So I have been wanting a 338 Lapua for quite a while now since shooting a few different setups. I like bullpup setups but a side folder would be acceptable as well. The problem is it appears the price of entry for either is more than my Barrett 50 BMG which is more than I feel is appropriate! =)...

    Hardcore Copper Solvents vs. your aluminum upper?

    I have a Remmy R-25 (DPMS LR-308) that likes to copper foul. I have found that Barnes CR-10 works awesome at removing it. The issue is you cant leave it in over 15 minutes and I hear that ammonia based solvents are bad for aluminum (upper receiver). So the question is, how do you avoid getting...

    So I found a cartridge my gun is in love with! 100 yards, from the bi-pod, 168 grain Federal Gold Metal Match BTHP, 3 round groups. With a quarter instead of tape: So is grouping measured from the outside edge of the two farthest spread, or center to center of the widest spread, or...

    Ruger 10/22 Hammer forged

    Anyone here have one of these? Im interested in whether or not the barrel is worth the extra cost? My next build will be a practice plinker that will double as a SHTF back up (food) rifle. Something I can stock up massive amounts of ammo on the cheap and will be capable of getting me food...
