Well I finally built up the courage to do more then just a single color paint job on a rifle. This is a 4 color desert digi I did. The video shows the process along with the exact colors used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nxRAMn0xxU

Alright after humping my 23+ lb precision rifle through over 9 miles of Alaskan terrain I decided it was finally time to invest in a hunting rifle that won't break my back. Right now I am seriously looking at the weatherby vanguard series 2 in 7mm rem mag. I should be able to get this rifle...

With all the recent mass buying primers are hard to find as I am sure you all know. Locally I can find magnum primers with no issues. Does anyone have any experience with using magnum large rifle primers in non magnum primers like .308 or 6.5 creedmoor. I had considered just starting at a min...

Just a few pictures I snaped a month or two ago for a casual photo a day challenge a friend was putting on. I figured I would share them here.

Well the form 4 on my 30P-1 was approved on the 3rd so I should be picking up my can any day now. I have been reading up on subsonic reloading for a while now and I wanted to run through the processes and see if you guys have any tips or tricks or things I may be looking at doing completely...

As I said I finally started really looking at a survival kit to carry hunting, hiking, etc while here in Alaska. This is what I have come up with so far: Gerber infantry knife Folding saw Sol emergency bivvvy Whistle Flare,smoke signal, shootable flare Lighter Flint/steel with Vaseline soaked...

I just got my first aimpoint (I used EoTech in the past) an H1 model along with it I ordered a GDI MT-OSM mount and I am quite satisfied with both. My question is if anyone has had any issues with mounting it backwards. When mounted as per the instructions it places the locking lever to the...

I often see guys saying milliradians aka mrads are not metric. I can understand wanting to say it isnt as we often use it with yards and inches however a milliradian is equal to 1/1000 of a radian. A radian is a SI derived unit and therefore part of the metric system. If my logic is...

So I am looking for a new optic for my AR-15 I have had an EoTech and wanted to try something new. I am currently looking at Aimpoint specifically either a CompM4s or the Micro T-1. From what I can tell the only major differences are in the battery life and the weight/size. I am just looking...

Just figured I would share the dope cards I put together tonight. I just used a spreadsheet and a ballistic calculator and ran it at 20 degree Fahrenheit from 30-90. The red cells are where the round goes transonic. Mainly I am just excited to get my new rifle and load all dialed in.

I am curious if anyone has seen any factory .308s with an 18" barrel and that is also threaded. I dont really want to embark on a full custom project in a .308 as I already have two great 6.5s. If nothing else I can get one of the 20" set ups threaded like a savage precision carbine but I just...

Well my barreled action finally got here from Moon at Crescent Customs and it was well worth it I have it in an AI 2.0 Chassis with atlas bipod and spigot adapter. I am waiting on a huber concepts trigger which has been ordered just hasn't arrived yet. I may end up breaking down and picking up...

My first rabbit hunt of the year going out with my Marlin .17 HMR sporting a 3-9x40 redfield revolution scope. The great thing about the Arctic Hares here is that they turn white when everything else is brown it was a little more sporting today as there are still patches of snow on the ground...

I am just looking for some first hand experience between these two chassis. The price is relatively close with the XLR coming in a few hundred cheaper by the time you upgrade it to a folding stock and get magazines and such. I am just curious if there is anything I should consider between the two.

I am curious if you have tried this tripod adapter? http://www.laruetactical.com/larue-tactical-picatinny-rail-adapter It looks great but the issue I see using it with a rifle is the head that it specifies as being the only one that it works with is only rated for 11 lbs of load and 5.5 in the...

I just wanted to share an experince I had at the range so that others could possibly learn from it. I was performing a ladder test on my AR-10 (style rifle) chambered in 6.5 creedmoor I was well below the max pressure for the round and for some reason I hand fed the cartridge most of the way...

So I saw something similar to these on a recent post they are mostly being used for 3 gun I believe but I was wondering if anyone has tried them on their precision rifles they seem like a nice idea the main issue I see using it on a work rifle is that your rifle barrel would likely be sticking...

So I have noticed that one of the factors I look at a lot before buying a scope is its total elevation adjustment range. I understand its not the only thing that goes into a good scope but it is something that is quite important to me. Usually I tend to assume that I will be lucky to get...

So I am curious what you guys prefer for a decent machete I currently want to upgrade from the walmart special. I don't expect to be out and about in the jungle but just general camping use but I would like a solid tool to carry while hunting in the event I did get into a survival situation. I...
