I decided to jump on this bandwagon because I'm weak-willed. I put together an upper (bought it complete from BCM), added a criterion 1-6.5 22" barrel, torqued it to the upper per instructions, and added the necessary bits (rifle-length gas tube, low profile gas block. Barrel came pre-dimpled...

Well, since Buddha hates me or whatever if looks like our .308 duty ammo (168gr AMAX) is now being replaced with the 168 gr ELD-M bullet from Hornady. I get that the AMAX was made to be a match bullet (it's in the name) but it also appeared to perform very well in ballistic gel. Now that the...

A friend was trying to offload a Rem 700 VTR in .308. He said it was a great shooter - that is always relative. I looked at it as maybe a hunting rifle that when I got the money together, I could cabbage the action and make into something more interesting. Well - off to the range. Strapped...

I'm not a big deer hunter. I've shot a few in the past, and got over it (I don't like cold or early). If I'm up early in the cold, I'd rather be shooting ducks. But my father in law leases land to deer hunt, and wanted to take my son deer hunting this year. Cool - maybe he'll get into it...

I am teaching an upcoming sniper school, and have one of our newer members on the team (been on about 1.5 years, good shooter, former Marine Infantry, squared away) attending the class. All of our rifles are Rem 700Ps and are all right-handed. Well, this kid is a lefty. He's one of our better...

I put my son together an F-class AR from an old AR that I had lingering in the safe. 26" .223 wylde. Seems to like 77 and 80 gr bullets about the same - about 3/4 MOA. The local matches are just 600 yard prone matches, and that's all we plan on using this thing for. It wears a Nikon...

My 15-year old has started getting interested in shooting more lately. I recently started shooting the occasional f-class match with my work rifle just for trigger time. The boy asked if he could come along, and maybe shoot. So, digging through the safe, I come up with this older AR that...

I have a "no-dash" Model 66 that I've had for around 10 years I'd guess. It's been the "nightstand gun". It's been to a couple of revolver-specific shooting schools, but other than that, hasn't exactly seen hard use. When I got it, it wasn't new by any stretch. Now - I don't like shiny...

I've been considering a small RDS in an offset mount for a bolt gun for unexpected close encounters. Want to tuck it in on the right side of the primary optic where it can be used at close range by just rolling the rifle inboard (as little as possible). Here's the rifle: Don't want to...

We have some cerakote at work that we used for a couple of rifles last year and didn't use up. I just had a rifle rebarrelled by Southern Precision Rifles with a stainless steel barrel. I was wondering if there is an advantage to cerakoting the stainless barrel or should I save it for CM...

OK - you have $2000 absolute max to spend on a riflescope for a Larue OBR 18" .308. This will be a work rifle. You will be using it as a tac team sniper, and most of your deployments are within 100 yards. A good FOV at close range is more important than long-range work, but you want it to be...

Does anyone make a thick rubber butt pad for the AR15 A2 stock? Not a grind to fit or anything like that, but a pre-made rubber butt plate that replaces the checkered A2 butt plate? I don't care about the trap door storage deal anyway. Something that is easier on the shoulder when kids or the...

I just bedded a Rem 700P that I had trued by Newman Precision (got the stock after). I like the stock, and it is shooting better after I bedded it. I had planned to convert is to a DBM. But I now have an opportunity to drop it into a McCree stock that will be given to me for nothing. It...

I was looking at the Creedmoore website and saw THIS listed. Says it's a pretty close to drop-in. I have a rifle that I want to convert to DBM (personal rifle), but hate that: A) the freaking DBM systems cost so fucking much (a good AR lower is 1/3 the cost, is the same material, and has...

"Don't I have to sign some paperwork before you're allowed to hold me against my will?" -guy who had cut his wrists. Right up there with the guy who told me we should put up signs saying you have to stop at red lights.

Where can I find a printable one? I've tried all sorts of searches.

Where do you put your comeup cheat sheet when your eyes start to go for close stuff? I can't read the cheat sheet that's inside my ocular scope cap anymore (fucking old age). Any ideas? Not wanting to replace my log book, but I always liked having a cheet sheet for when I was in a hurry.

I put this another site and thought I'd put it here also for the opinions (to see if they differ). It was long overdue. My PD has given me some money to pimp out all of our tac team's precision rifles to something a little more user-friendly. We have 6 Rem 700Ps in .308. The first thing I...

My department's part-time tac team recently did something that I never expected - they went multi-jurisdictional. We have three agencies within our city limits, one of them being a fairly large college campus PD, and the other our county's sherrif's office. Both are about half the size of our...

I finally talked our firearms guru into getting some 155gr TAP to try out (just 1K) in our precision rifles. We still have a crap ton of 168 grain match, but after reading lots of reports and looking at the terminal ballistics thread on M4 carbine on sniper ammo, I was able to convince them to...
