    Is it possible to blow up a remington 700 with a varmint contour barrel?

    I'm with the OP on this one too. All these theoretical recipes... Can you blow up a Remington 700 action with a proper bullet and no barrel obstruction? Clearly serious damage can be done and ruin a rifle this way, but I have yet to see a pic of an action completely failed due only to load...

    Savage 110 FCP stock question

    Sold the HS precision off my .338 brand new never fired for $350. I did not sell it with the bottom metal or mag. Posted it on a certain four letter/number web address site and it sold in 24 hours. I couldn't believe how fast given the limited fit opportunities, made me think I could have asked...

    An FYI on Bruno's Shooter Supply

    They suck you in with some prices, or other hard to find items at an affordable price (.338 Lapua brass by the piece) but shipping HURTS and if they don't have something in stock that hasn't been updated you don't find out til you open your box and find that's been removed from the invoice. Not...

    Suppressors Form 3 Wait Times Now 117 Days

    So happy I live 10 minutes from Silencer Shop, I can avoid Form 3s altogether. Still have those pesky Form 4s though, one of which I'm dreading sending off here soon. Guy picking his up the other day as I was leaving said 8 months...

    So whats the characteristics of a ranch gun? like a one "do it all" rifle show pics please

    Different strokes not just for different folks but different occasions as well. If I'm walking it's a 16" AR, if it's less on my feet 18" FAL. I am in the process of getting a suppressor for those as well as I agree a suppressor is a useful addition where weight is slightly less of a concern...

    Suppressors M9 Suppressed

    I have a TiRant 9 on my M9 and love it. I check it every so often when shooting for tightness, sometimes it's a little loose sometimes it's rock solid. Not really a big deal, just check every once in a while. Just make sure it's not right after firing more than a couple shots unless you're...

    Range Report Why only 100yds?

    With the quote in your sig line I would have guessed you would be more tolerant of new people learning your art, but I guess copying and pasting wise sayings doesn't translate to attitude. This isn't "Snipers Hide: Only Professional Marksmen Allowed." Many of us, myself included, are here...

    Range Report Why only 100yds?

    Those arguments are mutually exclusive in my book, the stabilization argument (bunk, as far as I can tell) says groups IMPROVE past 100. And as the poster above said, a guaranteed 1/2 minute rifle at 100 is gonna be close to that at least at 200, if it isn't then I would look elsewhere than the...

    First .338LM Build

    I am doing the same thing and nearing completion, and would also be interested in people's opinions on the stock EGW rail. As far as the stock, I wondered the same thing so threw mine up on ARFcom (no minimum post limit there) for $350 which I figured was a decent price because as the stock is...

    Remington 798

    Re: Remington 798 I have one as my hunting rifle and love it, but would probably look elsewhere for a precision build unless you're just going for the unique "just cuz" factor. The factory trigger is fully adjustable, and is actually pretty sweet. You'll have to google that because Remington...

    Make your own magazines.

    Re: Make your own magazines. I will await real results, but I find it hard to believe that printed poly mags will be anywhere near as tough as injection molded poly mags. It may not matter for an AICS, but I don't yet see this technology as a viable solution for AR mags that might get abused...

    Suppressors ALERT: Fingerprint / photo reqs for trusts/corps!

    Re: ALERT: Fingerprint / photo reqs for trusts/corps! I'm fine with closing the loophole. Will not enjoy having to do/collect fingerprints and photo of the people on my trust every time one of us wants to purchase. If it was a one time deal that would be ideal. If only they would do that...

    Gunsmithing Bullet stuck in Barrel

    Re: Bullet stuck in Barrel Just had a primer only .308 that I missed powdering. Couldn't hear any sound other than the click when I pulled the trigger, and the bullet wasn't lodged more than a millimeter into the rifling. If the OP heard a fizzle and the bullet traveled down the barrel I...

    Suppressors Starter .30 cal can?

    Re: Starter .30 cal can? I actually do get what the OP is asking, somewhat. I'm looking for my next can and I am looking for a sort of "starter" can as well. Though in my case beater can would be a better word. I have come to learn that TBAC is top notch when it comes to precision rifle...

    Suppressors Suppressor sound reduction by caliber/rifle

    Re: Suppressor sound reduction by caliber/rifle The amount of variables are just too great to get a useful meaningful tool out such a list without both a tool that analyzes statistical data AND getting hundreds if not thousands of data points. I don't see how actual metered amounts on just...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns HK45 pistol question...

    Re: HK45 pistol question... Love my HK45. It may look goofy at first next to the meanness that is the USP, but hold and shoot one and I guarantee all notions of goofy will disappear. I prefer how a USP looks in all honesty, but the HK45 is just so much nicer to hold/use.

    Suppressors To remove restrictions from NFA....

    Re: To remove restrictions from NFA.... That is a fantastically elegant solution to my long winded problem. I like it. Like how my CHL allows me to bypass the background check when buying a firearm here. Not a license to buy the item per se, but a license to get them quicker. I'll happily...

    Suppressors To remove restrictions from NFA....

    Re: To remove restrictions from NFA.... I agree with the above post, and I have something else to add. We all hate that these things that are perfectly legal to own are so annoying to get, but that so annoying to get factor also plays to our advantage. Only legitimate shooting enthusiasts are...

    Big flaw on the SRS?

    Re: Big flaw on the SRS? If you compare the SRS to a standard rifle you'll notice an important difference. The bolt on the SRS is BELOW your cheek, while on a non adjusting standard McMillan or comparable your cheek weld is even with or below the bolt. This is so you can remove the bolt...

    Suppressors QD vs Thread On

    Re: QD vs Thread On How much value do you guys put on the ability of a brake-attached suppressor's brake to absorb the brunt of the blast vs the blast baffle of a thread on suppressor? I know it could take a lot of shots to wear down this blast baffle, but a suppressor is an expensive and...
