    DTA Covert and S&B 3-20

    Military, can't up and move. I'm using an ARD because I got it for free, and it provides a little protection. Light transmission isn't too much of an issue where and when I shoot.

    I wish it was that easy, unfortunately, California would rather I didn't.

    DTA Covert and S&B 3-20

    I've been looking into getting a 308 covert conversion kit for my DTA for a while now, my concern is that my 3-20 S&B will hang in front of the muzzle and possibly be damaged by the muzzle blast. Does anybody have any experience with this? I also have a honeycomb on the scope, do you think it...

    Rifle Scopes Usmc scope

    The reticle in the M8541's (Schmidt and bender 3-12x50) is an etched glass, generation 2 Mil-dot duplex reticle on the 1st focal plain. It's a premier reticle in an S&B scope, which is why it's not available on the civilian market. The new M8541A's are premier reticles in a premier scope.

    Minimum loads seem to have a lot of empty space, safety/accuracy concerns?

    I just finished up my first batch of 300 win mag. I'm pushing 230 gr bergers with H4831SC. I started at the minimum and went up in .5 gr increments for 5 separate loads. I plan to use these for my first experimental range day and load some of the hotter ones later and compare groups. The loaded...

    Fieldcraft When spotting for someone with a spotting scope

    I'm going to hop on the 20x bandwagon. I usually don't go any higher that that. at 1000 yrds I may dial it up to 25x or so. More important than magnification, however, is where you put the target in your scope. I prefer to put the target in the lower right quadrant of the mil-scale, focus out...

    Loading 300 winmag "jammed'

    Just starting to reload, is it generally considered safe to load rounds "jammed" into the lands? I'm starting at the lowest suggested load and working my way up in .5 grain increments. Is this a good plan? How do I know if a manufacturer's maximum published load will fire safely jammed? Any...

    Suppressors Michigan, how did you do it?

    Recently (2011?) Michigan became the 38th state to legalize the use of sound suppressors. I'm curious to see how this got passed. We hear so much about gun legislation getting stricter, but we never hear enough about people fighting for our 2nd amendment rights. I'm extremely interested in the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 19 stippling

    I've noticed that my gen 3 Glock 19 gets pretty slick during extended range sessions and it's time I do something about it. I've stippled pmags before and I have a pretty good idea about the surfaces on my Glock that need a little more traction. My question is this: Is there anything I need to...

    Help a first-time loader with gear selection

    Hey everybody, I'm new to the hide, but a pretty experienced shooter. I'd like to get a complete list of every single item you would buy to reload 300 Win. Mag. I'm aware that a lot of folks "buy twice", especially with reloading equipment. Break it down as much as you can for me. Thanks!
