In a month or two, I will be moving to an apartment for 12-24 months while my new house is being built and I will be putting most of my 'stuff' into storage for that time period. I have about 50 lbs of powder and about 15K primers that I need to pack/store. Any advice for "do's" and "don'ts"...

What is a reasonable rifle accuracy goal to be competitive in local/regional PRS matches? I'm asking about the rifle's inherent accuracy, not the shooters ability in a match. :) Let's assume you shoot five 5 shot groups and calculate the average MOA of those 5 groups. What sort of average...

I'm going to finally get off my butt and get a suppressor (or 2). Initially I would be looking for a suppressor (or 2) to use with my 223Rem, 6 Creedmoor, 260 Rem, and 284 Win bolt rifles. All four of these rifles are threaded 5/8x24. In my ignorance, it seems like I would want a suppressor I...

My new 284 Win barrel (26", 1:8) was delivered from McGowen last week and I put the rifle together (Savage 110BA action, MDT/Oryx chassis) and shot my first 12 rounds with the rifle this weekend. My goal was to produce some fired brass that I could use to confirm that the barrel had been...

Excellent condition. One scratch on zoom ring near the 5X. Includes Aadland focus gripper I don't have the original SWFA box (I used it to ship a different SWFA scope I sold on here), but I have other scope boxes I can ship it in. $800 Paypal + Shipping.

With regard to long range precision rifles, do you favor building/buying/shooting multiple rifles in different calibers or do you favor focusing solely on a single caliber for a longer period of time? For those that prefer shooting multiple calibers, do you prefer to standardize on a...

I am looking for a sunshade for the Athlon Midas TAC 5-25x56 and I don't see one listed on the Athlon website (https://athlonoptics.com/product/rifle-scopes-midas-btr-riflescope-50mm-sunshade/). It appears the sunshade for the Ares BTR/Midas BTR work with the Midas TAC 50, but no mention of the...

Is it "Lab Radar" or "Labradar" like Labradar (speed) Retriever?

All three scopes have sold. Thanks. I have three SWFA 12X fixed mil-quad reticle scopes for sale. I am designating them #1, #2, #3. The first two that sell (and paid for!) will get SWFA boxes included. I'm not sure what happened to box #3. Scopes #2 and #3 have been bought and paid for so...

Somehow I ended up with two of these Worlds Finest Trimmers Gen 1 in .284 Win. This one has never been used. $55 - Paypal

It said stupid questions, so here goes.... Why do people mount scope caps so they flip up rather than to the right (for right handed rifle) ? I find that caps flipped vertically block more peripheral vision down range than when flipped 'right'. When I'm not looking through the scope my...

It looks like I will be relocating to the Sweetwater/Athens area in a year or 2. I was wondering if there are any long range ranges in eastern TN? I did a search and came up with nada. I know K&M is in Hooterville in west central TN, but that's about 5 hours from Sweetwater. Thanks.

I've got a Ruger PR 300 PRC coming and I'm trying to decide between the Athlon Ares ETR 4.5-30×56 APRS1 ($1199) or the Cronus BTR 4.5-29×56 APRS1 ($1399). Is the Cronus worth the extra $200? I assume it is, but would like confirmation from you smart guys. I'm normally the $300 SWFA guy. :)

I've shot about 1000 rounds over 2 years with my SWFA 5-20HD and the zoom and focus rings are still astonishingly stiff. Is there hope that they will loosen up over time or is there something I can do to assist the loosening process? Send it in for service? Thanks.

I'm planning to install AI pattern bottom metal on my 284 Win SA (Manners T5 stock). Which AI pattern SA magazines will reliably feed the longest rounds? Thanks.

Since this is the place for stupid questions.... I have found that when I place the front scope cap so it opens up it's a whole lot more distracting/annoying then when it opens towards the right side of the rifle. When the scope cap opens to the right the body of the scope blocks the view...

I just received and mounted my new SWFA SS 5-20 HD yesterday. I ordered the Butler Creek front/rear caps for it. The front cap won't fit because the front of the scope is too close to the barrel. The scope is 0.104" from the barrel. Pardon my ignorance, but what's the SOP in this...

I currently use an SWFA 12X and I am considering 'upgrading' to the SWFA 3-15X. I was wondering how the 3-15X compares to the 12X in terms of glass/image quality and eyebox? Thanks.

I recently bought a Razor HD 20-60 85mm spotting scope and I need to get a tripod for it. I want something sturdy and I'm not too concerned about the weight because it will only be used on the rifle range and will only need to be carried short distances. So, something sturdy and not too...

Hey, As the subject says, I'm looking for a rangefinder for steel target shooting. Out to 1000 yds, maybe up to 1200 yds max. Right now I'm considering option #1 = Zeiss Victory PRF 8-26 and Option #2=Leica CRF1000-R. Would either/both of those rangefinders function effectively on steel...
