I want to buy an LWTS from TNVC, and I have an e-mail request in to them to see if they can match the price at nightvision4less. Also, TNVC says the product is 120 days out, and nightvision4less says they have them in stock. I know that lowest price is not always the 'best' price, and like I...

I know this is a very fine point, but is there any significant advantage to one kind of finish over another when it comes to benchrest stocks with wide forends? It seems like a lot of attention is paid to the way a rifle recoils, and I wonder whether the finish would cause any sticking as the...

I'm jumping whole hog, feet first, no experience necessary, into this F-class thing. My action arrived, and my barrel is probably only a month out. So it's off to the builder soon, and he wants a dummy round for chamber dimensions. Here's the fun part - I own all the reloading gear (well...

I put a SightMark RDO on my S&W Model 22S. The RDO manual says it fits 'Standard dovetail mounts' and the Model 22S manual says it comes with a 'Weaver-Style' mount rail. Look at the pics below and tell me if it can be used in this configuration. The RDO is level, and tight, but the tilt in...

Bryon at Major Malfunction no longer sells to the public. He can ship to an SOT dealer, but pricing comes from the dealer. I bought a couple of cans from Bryon, and got good pricing and good service. I'll miss that, but I wish him and his company well.

This would complete my Mall Ninja stylings... Harris AN/PRC-117G Video is cool.

7mm SAUM @ 1000 yards with 180 VLD. My scope lists 50 MOA elevation travel. Is a 20 MOA base appropriate? Seems like I might have an issue with getting a zero at 100 yards, since I'll only be 5 MOA off the stop when the bore and the scope axes are parallel. Should I get a 15 MOA (or even 10...

I'm feeling cheezy, and pensive, as I embark on the year-long journey of assembling my first precision rifle. The road is long, with many days and nights of worry. The shooter shares his plans, his dreams, and then, like the dreams of night, they fade, waiting. A barrel one day. Action much...

Don't know if this is the right forum for this question, but here it is: I want to have a barrel chambered, crowned, and fitted to an action (7mmSAUM.) Then I want to fire 10 rounds. Then I want to send the barrel and the bolt off to have it nitrided. Only then do I want to have the barreled...

Seems all I ever see are variable magnification optics on rifles that are used for long-range shooting only. Am I seeing this wrong? Or is there some advantage to using lower mag at, say, 1000 meters? Target acquisition/FOV? Seems to me a fixed power scope is mechanically much simpler, and...

I recently had silicone impressions done for custom ear pro. The audiologist injected the stuff into my ear canal and it hardened in about three minutes. He pulled it out, and it was of course a perfect model of my ear canal. Why couldn't the same stuff be used to spec a chamber? Seems like...

First, I believe I've been bitten by the LR bug. I hit my first plates at 550 meters with my 6.5G AR-15 and really enjoyed it (never having hit anything beyond 300 before...) I know the Grendel is 'capable' of getting to 1K, but I also have a couple of options: 1. I have a Remington Model 7...

I just got back from the class, and wanted to post some feedback. The instructor suggested that I become active on Sniper's Hide, so here's my first post. I hope to learn a lot from the folks here. Positives: Caylen Wojcik (Director of Training, Precision Shooting - Magpul Dynamics) He...
