Much to my detriment, I've been the sort of guy who has really dicked around with different types of rifles without being serious about any of them since getting into firearms several years ago. It took me a while to pull my head out of my ass, but now I'm committing to taking my marksmanship...

Guys, I've just about got my 20" AR-15 finished (to be used for for classes, target shooting, coyote hunting, and possible precision comps way down the road), but I am essentially optic-less at the moment (not counting the ancient Tasco I've sitting in a drawer). I've my eyes set on the...

Putting together the final odds and ends for my first high-ish quality precision AR-15, but am kind of stumped about the bolt and bolt carrier. From what I've read, having a matching bolt to your barrel doesn't ultimately have all that much of an effect on things, compared to a quality barrel...

All, I'm putting together the pieces on a precision build around a .223 Wylde White Oak 20" DMR barrel. Will be using this primarily to predator/varmint hunt and improve my marksmanship (in addition to teaching myself how to shoot with milrads via a FFP mil/mil optic I'll pick up - likely the...

Guys, I'm dipping my toe into handloading and precision shooting for the first time and could use some advice for my first set of component purchases. This is for an AR-15 with this 18" 1:8 twist 410 stainless barrel from BCM. <span style="font-weight: bold">Bullets</span> Given the 1:8...

I recently completed my first AR-15, and am now pinching my pennies for a decent scope. Uses will be a mix of 75% target shooting and 25% coyote/varmint hunting. I'm a damn near complete newcomer, but eventually want to learn to take the rifle/cartridge out too 700 yards, and want a scope that...

Hey all, I'm in the process of building out my first AR-15 and am focusing on a precision rifle (my first) to improve my marksmanship with. Can I pick your brains about bipods? I initially was planning on the VLTOR Modpod (I liked its low center of gravity, wide footprint, and how it folded...

Hello all, As the preeminent place for precision shooting, I've been lurking around Sniper's Hide, trying to soak up knowledge while I finalize the part list for my first AR-15. I'm a might bit stumped regarding my barrel and bolt choice. I am putting together a 20" SDM-R/A4/SPR-inspired...
