    New Rem 700 XCR! Custom guns? Why bother!

    Ok, I know that title will cause some heartburn with some; but let me start by saying I've owned plenty of custom guns. I've owned GAP, Wilson Combat, Ed Brown, Nighhawk and more. Over time however I sold all my high end guns because funds were tight and other projects needed to get funded...

    Hunting & Fishing Need GPS Help!!

    GAP Zero versus Weight of Bullet Question

    I posted this in ballistics too, but I know more folks are in this area and I'm looking for info... I shoot a GAP 308 with a Bartlein with 5R rifling. Both 168 and 175 grain SMKBTHP hit at the exact same spot at 100 when zeroing. I picked up a box of 150 grain and I'm curious if you think they...

    Range Report Zero with Different Grain Question

    I shoot a GAP 308 with a Bartlein with 5R rifling. Both 168 and 175 grain SMKBTHP hit at the exact same spot at 100 when zeroing. I picked up a box of 150 grain and I'm curious if you think they will also hit the same spot at 100. I will get to the range to confirm at some point, but I'm sure...

    The GAP hath arrived!

    Well after a few weeks of waiting for the transaction to be complete, I finally have my new GAP custom in hand and we made a range trip! All I have to say is WOW! By far, the most accurate, most amazing rifle I have ever fired! I broke down and traded my 5R and Leupold scope for a Nightforce...

    BiPod Question

    I've seen many photos of a bipod mounted on the swivel closest to the barrel and then I've seen some mounted on the more inner swivel. Are there any pros or cons to either of these?

    Newbie Questions

    I've been to a few long range shooting sites and I'm really enjoying this one. The only issue I'm having is that I can't find a section of "stickys" or faqs with all the good basic info, such as, ballistic charts, best retailers, gun reviews, etc. Does something like that exist on this site...

    Barrel length question

    I am picking up a Remington R5 Milspec soon and have an option between a 20" that's threaded or a 24" that's not. Not sure I'll ever do the whole suppressor thing, but who knows. Any major difference in accuracy or performance between the two? Thanks!
