It's been some time since the 7 PRC was released, and I get that although a lot of guys who are into getting the newest thing have tried it, I've never seen one in the wild. I don't see very many factory options for it, and many handloading component manufacturers haven't published data for it...

I've found a LGS (note: in Europe) that has a few used Weatherby Mk V rifles in stock. They go for about 450-500 usd. I'm not keen on the weird calibers, the light barrel profiles or the scratched, glossy, crooked stocks, but the receivers should be good to go for a custom build, right? I've...

I'm a novice when it comes to modern semi auto rifles. Please bear with me. I've an old m1a that I use for hog hunting at night. It's kind of a handful to access the buttons on the digital nv scope while standing up on my feet. I imagine a modern layout with a pistol grip, a shorter overall...

Has anybody tried to max out the precision performance of a Ruger pcc? Is it comparable to a 10/22 with the right ammo?

I figured this is the right place to appreciate the ballistics of the standard German rifle cartridge of ww2. It had a G1 bc substantially higher than the much younger .308 180 gr Nosler ballistic tip. The below is quoted from the wiki article. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.92%C3%9757mm_Mauser

Lapua recently discontinued the 155 gr Scenar in favour of a Scenar L bullet with the same mass. From reading online and confirming with Lapua I learned that these two bullets are supposed to be exactly the same except the L version has tighter tolerances. Well my Strelok app, which I believe...

So I'm trying annealing for the first time. I'm using a European brand of brass that is rumoured to have good consistency but rather stiff necks. After about 3 times reloading these cases I put them in a hex socket mounted to a handheld drill and held the shoulder of the case in front of a...

A couple of days after getting back from the range last time I noticed that my scope objective lens had a lot of dirt and muck on it. I had covered it up with the flip up before sticking it in the bag. By the time I opened the lens cover again it had dried. Last range trip involved some prone...

So I dropped my Samsung on the stone floor again this morning, this time the screen died. I can't unlock it. I got a new phone by lunchtime but I miss my Strelok dope. Is there a way to get it out of the Samsung?

Hello there, I've been putting off a bullet shopping chore for too long. I need to get a precision bullet for my .308 rifles. Local shops usually keep Hornady and Lapua in stock. I need the bullet to be cheap, availible and decent. I don't need extreme BC, just decent. I also do not need to try...

While handling my rifle at home the other day, I noticed that the scope is slid all the way forward so that the turret is contacting the front ring of the mount. I have had no accuracy issues at all, and the scope appears to sit tight. It won't budge or rotate. The mount is a Spuhr mount and the...

Hello, I'm not a new shooter but I'm slowly progressing into the style of shooting that is discussed here on the Hide. I'm looking at getting a Kestrel, and I see that the most popular version seems to be the 5700, that contains trajectory data and calculates your firing solution. My gut...

My father got me some nice optics and I'd like to return the favour. Well, partially at least. He's not the kind of gun owner who stacks up on high magnification scopes and he does not own a spotting scope. I'm figuring a nice spotting scope would really help out on his range trips... The main...

I just screwed my first muzzle brake (no name but seems to work alright, three large side vents and three small holes drilled on top) on my Tikka CTR with a 20" barrel. On top of the rifle is a K624i with a large, beautiful objective. I've heard some gun shop chatter and seen some forum...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Yesterday I tried my new general purpose hunting load at 100,200 and 300 meters. It's the Barnes TTSX 150 gr launched at 2790 feet per second from a .308 Winchester case. Scope height is 2.2" Zeroing at roughly 200 yards ( to get point blank range as far as possible with...

Hello, So I'm putting together my first rifle with a target/tactical style scope and heavy barrel. It's a T3x CTR with a K624i on top. I'm not sure what bipod to get, and I'm also (unfortunately) not in the US. Where I live, the magpul and the Harris with the swivel function and the notched...

A dealer who messed up is offering me a free ERA TAC scope mount as compensation, to be shipped together with my k624 scope. I don't know what rifle I'm putting the scope on (leaning towards a tikka), which makes it difficult to pick the mount. I think I'm going for a 2 piece QD mount. These...
