    Small recoil pad for a Pre-64 Model 70?

    I need a thin, rubber recoil pad for my Model 70. It is .243 so recoil mitigation isn't really the goal, just something a little softer than hard plastic on my collar bone would be nice. I'm thinking something 1/2" or less, and attached rather than slip-on. Extra points for USA made. Any...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 20

    Really loved my G20. I'm currently selling it but that is only because I don't expressly :need: it, and I do :need: to pay for college. I found the recoil to be very manageable. Muzzle climb isn't too far off my G19 due to the way Glocks send the recoil straight back instead of upwards. I...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Knife steels. Which do you like in a folder, fixed?

    Knife steels. Which do you like in a folder, fixed? Anything BRK&T makes. My favorite knives are in A2, 3V, 4V, and 52-100. I'd take any of those steels in any given knife. For EDC folders, steel isn't that important. You're not usually excluded from sharpening when needed. I carry a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Why you DON'T like Glock.

    The only thing I don't like about Glocks is the lack of single stack versions for all calibers.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5-10x32 vs SWFA 3-9x42

    Why do you prefer the 3.5-10 Leupold? Currently it's between the 3-9x42 SWFA and the Bushnell 3-12x44. Leaning toward the SWFA due to the 5 oz saved in weight. The other question I have about the Bushnell is how useable are the .1 mil hash marks with a 12x maximum? Seems like they'd be more...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5-10x32 vs SWFA 3-9x42

    Vortex 2.5-10x32 vs SWFA 3-9x42 I'm really liking the Bushnell 3-12x44 with the G2DMR reticle. A bit heavier but... That reticle... Where is it made? How is the glass on that Burris compared to the Bushnell and SWFA? Where is it made?

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5-10x32 vs SWFA 3-9x42

    The Vortex is made in the Philippines? I know some of their stuff is Japanese... If so that would decide it in favor of the SWFA.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex 2.5-10x32 vs SWFA 3-9x42

    I'm narrowing down my options for a hunting/500m scope for my ultralight .30-06. These two seem to be perfect for my application. Both FFP, both are a great mag range, both 18-19oz. I tend to prefer SWFA over Vortex (love my SS HD 5-20x50). But the Vortex does offer a little wider focal...

    Rifle Scopes VX-R Patrol 1.25-4x20 or SWFA 1-4x24

    Any other input? A bit torn between the VX-R 1.25-4 and SWFA 3-9x42. Still like the size/ weight of the Patrol but I'm not sure about 4x for 500m. 2.5-10 sounds good but the only scopes I'm seeing in that mag range are Nightforce NXS which are $1600+ and SFP.

    Mild Rem 700 build

    Mild Rem 700 build I may be a bit noob to ask this... What do you mean by bedding the stock action? -edit: just read up on this. It kind of looks like a pain in the ass, and my grandfather may have already done it. I'll look into it though. :) And I realized maybe I could just get a couple...

    Mild Rem 700 build

    I have a somewhat old Remington 700 in .30-06 that is a very light rifle. I want to build it into a very light weight hunting rifle that can shoot accurately to 500m when pressed. I'm still deciding on the optics - still torn between the VX-R Patrol 1.25-4x20 and the SWFA 1-6x24 (the leupold...

    Rifle Scopes VX-R Patrol 1.25-4x20 or SWFA 1-4x24

    I'm about ready to put a new scope on my lightweight Remington 700 in .30-06. I've narrowed it down to these two scopes and would like some advice on which way to go. The rifle will mostly be used for hunting big critters (elk, bear, mtn lion etc) in wooded conditions and some long range...

    Leupold Spotter Question

    I'm heavily considering a Leupold Mk4 12-40x60 with TMR reticle. Now, I've read that the HD Golden Ring version has better optics and you can have any reticle added later for $400. Is that correct? Are the optics better on the HD GR? If so, what mil-based reticles should I consider?

    Simple Ballistic Calculator for iPhone

    I'm looking for a simple, fast ballistic calculator for use on the iPhone (technically an iPod Touch, but same thing :p) I basically want something that acts like an instant-update dope card... Save my load info, then give me bullet drop after I input temp/humidity/elevation/maybe wind for a...
