I am looking for a good 3day+ pack, that supports the load well, but also works well with a separate battle belt. I would like to be able to drop the pack, but still have pistol, mags for rifle and pistol and a few other things. Rifle carry would be a plus also.

My wife has fallen in love with the Savage Model 11 Lady Hunter. They have designed a stock for a woman's body. We will probably get it in .308 (available in .223, .243, .270, .308, 6.5 Creedmore, .30-06, and 7mm-08). They are 20 inch barrel with a fairly thin (for weight) barrel...

Now that Surgeon is selling actions, I got to thinking that I would REALLY like a .300 WinMag. So the question is, doa build ona Surgeon action (or other) or just buy a TRG-42 in .300 WinMag. I am currently shooting a Rem 700 PS-1 that has been modded as follows: Manners T-4A with mini...

Got my trust done and getting a suppressor. Primary use will be my .308 bolt gun. Secondarily it will be used on a couple of ARs (.300 BLK and 5.56). So I was looking at something with a quick mount. Was going to get the 30BA, but saw on the TB page, teh 30BA has been discontinued and...

Was the M73 scope ever used on the M1D Sniper rifles? I have read about issues with the repro M84s. CMP has repro M82s that are supposed to be good. Leatherwood/Hilux makes an M73 repro that seems to be pretty good. Gibbs Rifles is using this on their repro 03A4s. I would love a...

I joined the CMP forum, can log in, it saves which threads I have read, but I can't seem to post. I sent two messages via Contact Us, but no response. Was wondering if anyone here knows anyone, or could post a question on access there for me. Same user name as here. Thanks.

I just picked up a law enforcement trade in 6921. My plan was to convert it to a match rifle. Once I got into pricing things, I found I could get a complete upper for similar price or not much more. So which way to go? Build upper from existing gun - $850 in parts and $50 in tools needed...

School me on the available repro M82 and M84 scopes. I just purchased a Garand M1D from CMP. I have a GI mount on the way from eBay. I have heard that the M82 repros are pretty decent. But that the M84s are not so good. Any details? Any good M84 repros? I can't swing a real M84...

I am confused (not abnormal :) ). I read this - http://www.zediker.com/downloads/14_loading.pdf According to it and other sources, one should not use powders slower than IMR 4064 for the M1A/M14 due to concerns about gas port pressure. OK, that is easy. But, I thought that BL(C)2 and...

What are people running for an accuracy load? And how accurate is it? I am looking to load this combo for a Colt HBAR for CMP type use. Thanks.

I have been enjoying my repro Mosin sniper and thinking about getting some others. I will probably end up with a Gibbs 1903A4 at some point. But I was looking at CMP and they have M1D rifles at an almost reasonable price. And Sarco and others have repro scopes and mounts and cheek pieces...

I am looking at my next rifle being a custom from the ground up. I was thinking Stiller action, but the Kelblys Atlas action was recommended to me. Any input? Anybody know them? Use them? Thanks.

I earlier had SAC do a bolt knob install on my 700. Very nice job and fast turn around. So when I had a Schuler muzzle brake to install, I went back to SAC. So I shipped the rifle off, it was delivered on Thursday. And was DONE on Friday. Cut back, re-crown, thread, time brake...

What spotting scopes are available with reticles? I know the Vortex Razor, Leupold Tactical.

I have a repro Mosin sniper rifle (from Cabelas in PA). I have spent some time at the range (and online learning about how things work) getting it somewhat dialed in. Also working the trigger from over 8 pounds with a LOT of creep, down to just under 4 pounds with a small amount of creep...

H4895, H335, IMR 4064 and MORE. GO

Just getting a bushing die. With the availability of different size bushings, why would you use an expander? Would you not pick the right size bushing to just size the neck to the proper size?

Anybody know of anyone having a redding .334 bushing for sale or to borrow? I have 500 pieces of LC brass to beck size, and cannot find a .334 in stock.

I have a bunch of LC LR primed brass bought from here on the Hide. Do I have to remove the tar from the neck? The necks measure to have about 2/1000 neck tension, so they don't need to be sized.

I picked up a Mosin sniper version. It is not an original sniper, but a made up with a modern repo PU scope. One clue is, that reticle stays centered as you adjust the scope. As I understand it, once zeroed, you should be able to loosen the two screws on each turret and move them without...
