I just bought a Bighorn TL2 long action that I am going to build a 7mm Rem Mag on. It did not come with a scope rail so after talking to Bighorn Arms, all they have available is a 30MOA scope rail. I am going to put a nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 Mil/Mil scope on it, but I'm worried that the 30MOA...

I also have this posted in "bolt action rifles" page. I have a Remington 700 that was trued/chambered by a smith who is no longer in business. It sits in a manners t2a with gen 2 mini chassis. It is a rock creek m24 contour, 1-11.25 twist chambered in 308. No matter what ammo I shoot, factory...

It is a rock creek m24 contour, 1-11.25 twist chambered in 308. No matter what ammo I shoot, factory gold medal match or my reloads, my first 5 shot group on...

I recently acquired a 2.5x japanese sniper scope. I found it in a box of military rifle parts that an old gunsmith had. I have only recently started researching it. The makers mark is a star with a circle and dot inside it. It says 2.5x10 on the eyepiece. It does not have the eyecup. It has...

Im looking for suggestions on what chamber to get for my 40XB build. This rifle will be used as a trainer, but my main concern is accuracy for my local steel silouhette shoots. I have read that certain chambers are tight and hard on certain types of ammo. I will most likely be shooting Eley...

I just ordered my barrel from Rock Creek last week. Its going on my 40xb. Remington varmint contour. Apparently they are putting 5r cut rifling in these. Last time i had heard they were using 4 groove medford rifling. Does anyone here have one of the 5r's? How does it shoot and what ammo does it...

Just picked up a Winchester M1917 in 30-06. I love these old service rifles. If anyone knows anything about this rifle let me know. Im just beginning to learn about them. It has a "W" marked rear sight and bolt. The barrel is an Eddystone i believe. It is stamped "E" 9-18. It has a very good...

Been thinking about threading my muzzle for a brake. My 308 doesnt recoil much but i like the look of a brake and less recoil is always a plus. I have no experience with muzzle brakes but like the way these two look. I have also heard good things about both. Anyone here used both? Which one was...

I know its not technically a "vintage sniper rifle" but its definitely vintage. Just bought a 1884 springfield trapdoor 45/70. Not real familiar with these and just beginning my research. Its serial 111058 and no cartouches on the stock. Any info about my new rifle would be awesome. Anybody here...

I have tried the search engine but it doesnt seem to work with the new website. Anyways, Im looking to buy myself a good, quality knife. I have been using cheap knives forever, the best of which was my KA-BAR, and im ready to take the leap and buy something that will last me forever. I really...

I am rebarreling my remington 40xb and im looking for barrel recomendations. I have experience with rock creek barrels and they are at the top of my list. I am building this to be a tactical trainer and also shoot buffalo rimfire competitions locally. Talked to Brian Voelker today and he is...

I finally got a chance to play with the 40x that i bought about a month ago. I still havent shot it but i have noticed something that is a little troubling. It is a 1968 remington 40xb in 22lr that i bought for a trainer. I dropped it into my manners t2 that i have on my 308(i bought the 40x for...

Im just beginning to get into reloading and know just enough to be dangerous. I want to take advantage of the Redding group buy but dont want to buy items that I will later on regret. I am currently planning to reload for my 308 Win and 25-06 Rem. When I look at Reddings catalog there are about...

Hey guys been really looking into this tent. Really like the easy setup, very light weight for a four season tent. Been reading a lot of reviews and think I might bite the bullet but wanna get some opinions from the hide first. Ive been using a Eureka Zeus for a few years and really like it but...

After a while of searching I finally found a 40x. My intent is to eventually put it in either a manners or mcmillan stock but for now im just going to shoot it with the origiinal wood stock. Now for my questions. I have been looking for a picatinny rail of some sort that would go into the...

I recently bought a box of Ultramax 168 HPBT in 308 and have to say this stuff really impressed me. My rifle shot sub 1/2 MOA all day. I payed $15 a box. Anyone else had good luck with this ammo? Im curious does anyone know what type of powder ultramax uses? Im going to handload some with the...

Anyone have one of these Kimber model 82 government model rifles? I have seen some on gunbroker and they are drawing my interest as a trainer rifle. They have the iron sights and a big benchrest stock, but does anyone make aftermarket stocks for them? How do they compare to a Winchester 52 or a 40X?

Hey guys, I finally have the funds and the time to build my first AR and have been looking at the Yankee Hill and Palmetto State Armory upper/lower recievers. What were your experiences with these two companies. Was the fit and finish up to your standards? Both seem to be quality made here in...
