    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...

    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...

    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 &...

    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...

    Savage shooters for sale area?

    Howdy folks Sorry for a question about another forum, but I can't think of a good place to ask this. Is anyone a member of Savage shooters that can tell me how active their classifieds are? I don't feeling like buying a membership to see it if it's got new stuff once a week. Hunting for...

    Stevens 200 dried up?

    I'm trying to drum up a local Stevens 200 223 for a cheapskate build, but have had no success. Locally, we have a Dicks, Sportsman's Warehouse, and Buds Gunshop. Not to mention several smaller shops. But nary a one! So am I late to the party and these have already dried up? Not sure what's next...

    Range Report First trip with Viper skins, dot torture, and the bottom of the food chain

    I had a less than enjoyable first trip with my aics. The lop was a bit short, and the thumb hole did not agree with my wrists. I picked up an extension kit and some Viper skins from Mile High shooting (extremely helpful and smooth business, by the way) and took it out again today. The skins...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 10x HD or vortex PST 4-16?

    I have not been overly impressed with my vortex. I I can't seem to find a setup that has really good clarity, and it just seems fatiguing to stay behind for very long. My baseline is low so this may be shooter error. My swfa 10x is surprisingly good for the money though, and seems more clear...

    Which AICS 2.0 spacer kit?

    Called mile high shooting today to see which spacer kit would ever best for me, using an aics 2.0. Spoke to a very friendly and helpful fellow who directed me towards the part #4124. Accuracy International Accessories Once I saw the description I noticed the 'spike' nomenclature. I've...

    AICS and wrist pain?

    I mounted my new (to me) aics 2.0 this weekend and took it for a spin yesterday. I put 110 rounds through it (308 Remington). I I was prone for 85% of it. Today the wrist on my strong hand is killing me. I have haven't used a stock with a thumb hole before this. I was making conscious effort to...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 10x vs Vortex PST 4-16x50 image color /clarity?

    I'm already own both of these scopes, the SWFA sits on my. 22 trainer and the Vortex on my main 308. After my last couple of range outings, however, I began wondering if my SWFA isn't the clearer and crisper of the two. Am I crazy, or has anyone else found this to be the case? I'm strongly...

    XLR or AICS users near Lexington, KY?

    I'm going insane insane trying to decide between the XLR element and the AICS 2.0. Is there any chance some kind soul near Lexington KY has one? I'm a member at BGSL and would certainly supply the ammo. (otherwise always open to thoughts between the two).

    Range Report Good day at the range (new reloads, better fundamentals)

    The weather was great today, and I was able to sneak away from the house for a couple of hours to get to the range. Just this last week I started reloading, so today was the fateful day to see if the work was worth it. Turns out reloading is completely tits, once the bullets start flying. My...

    Yet another 'beginner reloading setup' question: this list sufficient?

    I'm trying to get setup for reloading for my .308. Not a unique situation. But I think reloading is daunting enough, and then you sprinkle the word 'precision' on it and your head explodes! It's a lot to figure out from scratch, especially without the tools in front of you to give you some...

    Demoralizing day at the range

    I'm not at all new to shooting (which means exactly squat) but I'm new to real precision shooting. I went shooting today at 100 and 200 yards with my my savage 22 and 700 in 308. Man, I am garbage behind a rifle. I've shot idpa, had a couple of carbine courses, but I just can't keep a decent...

    Thinking of trying a Chassis

    Howdy folks- I searched around but didn't find answers to all my questions on the subject. I am strongly considering getting a chassis as I work harder to become a precision shooter. I'm currently running with a Rem700 .308 AAC SD in a B&C medalist. It is not bedded. I am not setup for...

    Fieldcraft Ghillie 'cloak' ?

    I have been considering making a ghillie for stalking when hunting. I don't know that I'm ready to invest the time for a standard type ghillie suit. So I've wondered why making a cloak style ghillie is never done? I imagine using netting as the cloak base, then adding fibers as needed, would...

    Gunsmithing Good local smith to bed action?

    Howdy folks- I'm not pleased with the level of accuracy I'm getting from my 700. I'm upgrading to a Timney, and would also like to have the action bedded. I'm hoping someone here knows a reputable smith in central KY (Lexington, specifically) who can take care of this. Any help is greatly...
