Hey guys I have a 223 win 70 with a 26" heavy stainless steel krieger barrel. I believe it is close to 1.3" at reciever, but it slims down to .75" for palma sights. I plan to shoot this thing to death and then get a new barrel. But that got me thinking, why throw out the old one? I also have a...

Re: Gun upgrades vs new gun thanks for all the replies! At this point I can't really see a big disadvantage with getting the fcp over the ftr. Two more questions. 1) F-class guns have to shoot 20 rounds and should stay sub-MOA. How much do you think the fcp's accuracy would deteriorate with a...

Re: Gun upgrades vs new gun Thanks for all the answers! so you guys are pretty much split 50/50. The only reason I am not sold on the ftr is that it is basically a paperweight when its not at f-class and I am not sure that I will do f-class for the rest of my life. Update: I started liking...

Re: Gun upgrades vs new gun what is the difference between target and standard action? Thanks

Re: Gun upgrades vs new gun Oh, I didn't know that. So would the savage f/tr be your recommendation? btw I just found another one that is similar (same trigger, both have match barrels, same actions, etc.) and I don't understand why one would be better for f-class than the other...

Re: Gun upgrades vs new gun That makes sense. I mostly hunt from a deerstand, so a couple extra pounds wouldn't kill me, but I can see how that would change if I started stalking more. Do you have any guns off hand that you would recommend over the savage for shooting long range competitions...

Hey guys! I have a bit of a dilemma. I have a remmy 700 sps dm factory in .308 and I am interested in deer hunting, f-class, and i hope to do prairie dogs soon. I have been doing F-class on my friends gun, and now i am convinced I need one for next year The guys at the range think i should...

Re: Paint Webbing Nice work! do you think a karsten cheek rest would work on the bottom one? I have that stock and I think it could be weird because of the built in cheek rest, but Im not sure.

Re: cold bore confusion Thats why I don't do my laundry anymore either Thanks for the info guys! Nate

Re: Noob questions about barrels Perfect that is exactly what I wanted to know thats 600 bucks I can redirect to ammo and part of a scope! Thanks for taking the time to respond! Nate

Re: Thinking of a new shooting mat I went to it and if you do a 4 question survey and like it on fb you get $3 and 10% off of the 47$ item. thats like half price of the regular deal. great find! thanks

Re: Noob questions about barrels I will probably shoot 600 yards. It is a 24" barrel and I think it is a 10" twist. What twist rate is ideal for a 150 or 168 grain .308 bullet? How thick do you want a barrel? Thanks!

Hey guys, I am new to long range shooting and I want to start shooting f-class. I have a Rem 700 in .308, and all the other stuff I need to shoot, but I am curious if a remington 700 factory barrel can handle shooting that many rounds so quickly. I assume accuracy decreases as it heats up and...

Re: cold bore confusion oh, ok. makes sense. Shooting is a lot more fun than cleaning anyways. Thanks for your help guys!

Re: cold bore confusion what makes for a skilled cleaner?

Re: cold bore confusion Wow! good to know. I would have never guessed. I always thought that that more cleaning = more accuracy but I guess you learn something everyday! Thank you! Nate

Re: cold bore confusion Thanks for the quick replies! How much would you suggest cleaning your guns? Do you only clean out the carbon as he suggests? Thanks again!

Hey guys! I'm pretty new here and I am not sure if this is in the right topic area, but I came across a video today about cold bore shots (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiDoddUL4rI&feature=related) and I am curious what you guys think. I don't know if he is right or not and I would greatly...

Re: 53 yr Old (takes fight on 1hr notice) vs 21 yr MMA Im under 22 and that made me smile

Re: Lighter hunting set up - Questions What price range? What ranges would you be shooting? I would go with a 308 for the versatility. I use a .308 Remington 700 SPS DM. The SPS series is very reasonable but the DM (detachable magazine) model doesn't have replacement stocks so if you don't...
