I bought a PSA AR-9 16" upper and put it on a Spikes lower (Colt mags) with a generic milspec LPK/FCG. Will skip some drama but the bolt was faulty, big hole drilled around the firing pin allowing primers to blow out into the bolt face. PSA replaced bolt. New bolt would not run, had to open...

We had a school shooting in Noblesville IN, just 20 miles from where I work and 30 from where my kids were in school. Apparently the kid opened fire in a science classroom and the teacher, a former college defensive back, took action and tackled him while knocking the gun away - but took 3...

I recently shot my first F-Class match (600yd) with my hunting rifle (243AI). Very different than hunting but had a blast and learned a lot and did alright given my setup. Now I'm contemplating a dedicated build. I'm curious as to comments on my plans. - McMillan F-Class stock with 3-way...

Unbelievable. Always out for the payday. I'm curious how much blood she thinks she can get out of a (former) grocery store manager. IndyChannel

I am new to the AR platform and am waiting for my .223 dies and brass to arrive to begin reloading. I plan to use 50gr Vmax for coyotes but I am looking for an economical option for plinking bullets. I shoot iron sights only, so I am not looking for that last .1 MOA in accuracy. I would...

The end of last month some friendly bantering escalated into a friend betting me that I could not run more miles in December than he and another buddy combined. They set goals of 150 and 250 miles for them, which meant 400 miles for me. While I've run 100 miles per week for extended periods of...

http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/12/28/florida.flight.baggage/index.html?hpt=Sbin I would think it against better judgement to try and check a bag full of primers, but nonetheless I am surprised they went off. That must have been some rough bag handling.

What mag issues (blind/box) am I going to encounter converting a 308 family Savage/Stevens short action into a 300WSM? Will I have to alter the feed lips somehow for the wider cartridge?

I've always heard that the 300 WSM cannot perform to its potential with 200gr bullets in a short action because either a) seated to mag length, the longer bullet will eat too much case capacity, and/or b) most of them are not throated long enough to seat the 200gr bullet out enough to preserve...

Anyone installed a Kepplinger in a Rem700? The detail on Brownell's makes it sound like I have to disassemble the trigger assembly, and insert just the trigger but retain the rest of the mechanism. If anyone does this, tips to keep me from learning the hard way are important. I've ordered...

I own 15+ acres out in open farm country. There are houses on 2 acre lots to the north from my house, nothing but a field and freeway to the south, and over a mile of open field before hitting a woods then a few houses to the east. My gun range faces east, away from the close houses, and goes...

I recently agreed to purchase a pistol online. As payment was in transit to the seller I identified a local FFL and called them. I notified them I'd bought a pistol and would need to have it shipped in soon, AND that I had never been through this process before so what did I need to do. The...

I'm working up a load for the 87gr V-Max in a standard 243Win (Savage Model 11) using H414 and CCI400 primers. While it was too dark for my chrono to work right I did run a series of loads to test for pressure, 43.5gr to 45.1gr in .2gr increments. While the chrono was throwing errors I did get a...

I believe my Sendero came with an HS Precision stock and it runs fine without any modification. However I have an HS Precision Varmint stock on order for a Savage build and was curious what the thoughts are on bedding stocks with aluminum bedding blocks. It would seem you should still gain...

"Must have's": -variable power, 3-5 on the low end -side focus -target knobs -decent eye relief (more than .308 recoil anticipated) -30mm tube preferred but not an absolute "Nice-to-have's": -illuminate reticle (really not important) I don't want to put too much restriction on price, let's say...

I just bought a Savage Model 11 with the intention of turning it into a muzzleloader. However, it's a .243 and I've always wanted one of those too. I've understood that you can swap barrels back on a Savage action; the question is, does it completely disrupt the setup? How hard is it to...

Ever since we moved in, we've had some issues with the trashy neighbors letting their dalmations run. Soon after we moved in 2 years ago someone called animal control on them (they blamed us ever since, but we didn't do it) and they've more or less kept them tied up but every once in awhile...

I'd appreciate any tips on where I could get firm legal documentation to carry proving that Michigan and Indiana have a reciprocity agreement which makes the Indiana CCW valid for carry in Michigan. While there are numerous online maps showing that it exists, I come up empty searching for...

If I build a 243AI around the 115gr DTAC is it likely I can also get good accuracy out of the 87 V-Max or will I be spinning them too fast? I want to optimize around the DTAC for the long range performance and antelope but it'll be a necessity to use the V-Max for coyotes.

Just to make sure I'm reading their website right I wanted to check with those that have been there, done that. I'm looking at an A3 or A5 stock with adjustable cheekpiece, light fill. I'd have them inlet it for a Seekins BM and be using a TAC30 action. I would not have them do the bedding...
