    Safes: Amsec, Sturdy

    Yeah there are definite downsides to the garage, but not a lot of indoor options, certainly not for a safe that size. I have been looking for used TL15 safes, but the moving logistics are tough and finding one big enough is even tougher. The right one is a unicorn, it seems. Sturdy makes a big...

    Safes: Amsec, Sturdy

    It's going in the garage unfortunately, so room is less of a problem than budget. Even the 6636 is more than I should really be considering with a kiddo on the way. I'm very tempted to get the Fatboy and just try to live with a subpar container.

    Safes: Amsec, Sturdy

    Hello! I'm in the market for a safe, and have had a tough time sorting through the confusing world of RSC's. TheSafeGuy has made me rethink a lot about the security of thicker steel (I was already sold on the fire protection of Amsec) and I'm thinking of stretching my budget even further and...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell AR optics 1-4x24 experience?

    Posted this in a couple of spots without any help. My apologies if this has been reviewed before, the search function and Google didn't pull up much specific information . Does anyone have experience with this optic? Are they worth a damn for casual use, out to 500 yards? My aimpoints...

    Should I change my current build from 6.5cm to 260?

    I'm going to rebarrel my 700 soon to one of these calibers. I'm having trouble nailing down the answer to one question. Is it safe to say that, for the reloader, components are more available and plentiful for the 260 vs the 6.5 cm? I dont care which round I end up with so long as I don't end up...

    Criterion Barrel & Remage Barrel Nut Setup in 6.5 Creedmoor - Worked great for me!

    Very cool, been thinking of doing the same for a while now. Still torn on 260 vs 6.5cm though. :) Thanks for the pics and post

    Bending plastic: Kydex M&P Shield IWB holster

    Thanks much. If you're even debating giving it a try, I definitely recommend pulling the trigger. It's fun, cheap, and relatively straightforward. Only a few pitfalls take finesse. I got most all of my supplies from knifekits.Com. They have a good selection of kydex and rivets and such. Get...

    Bending plastic: Kydex M&P Shield IWB holster

    I've been without a decent holster for my Shield for too long, so this afternoon I grabbed a beer, turned on some Dropkick Murphys, and preheated my toaster oven. I have previously made several knife sheaths, but this was my first attempt at a holster. Since I like my CTACs quite a bit, I...

    Remage barrel conversion

    Two stupid questions... 1) does the action wrench I got for my Savage barrel changes work, or is there a remington specific one? I imagine there is but is worth a check. 2) Is there some down side I'm missing to doing the remage thing? What's not to like about saving hundreds in install fees?

    savage barrel swap question

    I just did a barrel swap a couple of weeks ago for the first time. It's ridiculously simple. Takes about an hour your first time, much less thereafter. Now I shoot one-hole groups.

    Not-so-budget Stevens 200 project

    Ended up going with 1/9. I don't have access to enough distance to make use of heavies, and I have my 308 for that. Also wanted to be able to use lighter rounds according to shortages. Yeah that is where I found the Stevens! Also, do you do training?? I'll be sending a pm shortly if so.

    Not-so-budget Stevens 200 project

    Thanks guys! Got it out to the range today despite a downpour. When it drizzled instead of poured, I shot. Reloads were 23 gr of IMR 4064 pushing Hornady 69gr hpbt. I had about 30 rounds with 52gr hpbt as well. Overall, I freaking love this rifle. Smooth to operate with this bolt handle, no...

    Not-so-budget Stevens 200 project

    I love to fiddle and tinker, so I couldn't resist building a Stevens 200 precision gun. I've also always wanted a 223 precision rifle. I ended up scouting out what I believe to be the last Stevens in KY! With help from a few people (notably Jim from Northland Shooters Supply, awesome people &...

    Brainstorming a GF gun, on the cheap-ish

    Oh, id also add, as these folks have, that 223 probably makes the most sense. Common, not too expensive, cheap to reload (should that come to pass).

    Brainstorming a GF gun, on the cheap-ish

    The Savage would probably be most flexible, since if she does get bitten by the bug you can always upgrade the barrel or caliber yourself. Also more aftermarket support than something like the mossberg. Remington is a stable choice but not always the cheapest route, especially regarding barrel...

    Yet another semi budget SPS Tactical build

    Looks like a good rifle to use hard. Good job on the camo, I do a similar style krylon.

    Maggie’s Good 'budget' Scotch?

    Christ! I could start a glock vs 1911 thread with fewer replies, hahaha. Seriously though thanks for all the tips. I have a lot to try! I'm still learning, but I like a slightly dry, smokey it seems. Just not too much of it. A mild sweetness or toffee flavor is nice too, however.

    Maggie’s Good 'budget' Scotch?

    About a year ago I tried my first scotch, it was a scotch whiskey mix. I detested it and moved on. Later I tried a single malt, and really enjoyed it. Can't actually remember what it was now. I enjoy the Trader Joe's single malt (surprisingly good for the price). Dewars is so so, Lismore is...
