Maybe someone here can answer this question. I have a Steyr SSG69 with the double-set triggers bedded in a McMillan stock. Turns out it is a long reach from the grip to the front trigger, and this causes a less than optimum hand position when gripping the stock. Does anyone know if it is...

Hey Guys, What is the general recommended ring height for a 34mm scope with a 56mm objective? This optic setup will be for load testing for a number of bolt actions, not gas guns. Thanks, B

Picked up a 6.5 Grendel barrel for a build. What 5 & 10 round mags do you guys like best? Thanks, B

Thinking of building a 7mm-08 AI on a Rem SA I have kicking around. While researching twist rates, I read that the AI needs a longer action. Is this true? Suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks, B

I'm putting a picatinny scope rail on a Steyr .308 Win with a 26" barrel. The only two options are 0 MOA and 20 MOA. I'm going to take this rifle regularly to 600 yards, maybe even 1000. Scope hasn't been chosen yet. Likely to be a Vortex. Which MOA rail do you recommend?

100 new 6.5x284 Norma brass for sale. Winchester brand. $95 shipped.

I see a lot of these used stocks for sale. If you had one, why did you sell it? Any reasons not to use one of these for a hunting rifle build? Thanks, B

What is the recommended Rem 700 action length to build a 6.5 PRC on? Thanks, B

I have a SIG 716 in .308. I was thinking it might be fun to experiment with a DI upper in 6.5 CM with perhaps a 18-20 inch barrel. Looking for some feedback. Would you build or buy one? If recommending to build, what might the expected cost be for a decent build? If recommending to buy...

Late summer I picked up a limited selection of several grades of the most favored brands of match ammo discussed in the mega T1X thread. This was in anticipation of testing a new rifle. For various reasons I didn't get the rig assembled until mid-November. Of course quality .22 LR has pretty...

Bought some pre-primed brass. Anyone know which brand of primers are embossed with a very small off-center "B".

I'm going to re-barrel a Savage Model 12 LRP to 7mm-08 AI for hunting. I have a couple questions. What twist rate is recommended for 140 to 165 grain bullets? I'm also thinking the LRP barrel contour is a bit long and heavy for toting around though I've been doing it for several years. What...

Has anyone tried running a JP Enterprises Captured Spring System (CSS) in SIG 716 Patrol yet? If so, let me know how it works for you. I have been running two of these in a pair of AR-15s with 20" HBAR barrels and Gen 1 UBR stocks without any issues. One CSS has about 14,000-15,000 rounds...

I need to order some specific AR small parts in odd numbers (some for builds, some for spares.) Buying complete small parts kits will result in a lot of leftover, unused parts. Any recommendations for an economical place to order from? I'm thinking places like Brownells might not be the most...

Can someone recommend who makes a good quality .22 LR dedicated upper for AR-15s? By quality I mean with an accurate barrel, as well as functionally reliable, and without pot-metal or plastic receiver parts. A reliable quality mag would also be important. I've read up on the CMMGs and...

As far as I know these parts were made by Springfield Armory (the original one?) Is that correct? Were they the only provider of "NM" parts, or have there been other "knock-off" parts made/sold? (My DCM, now CMP Garand came with an NM op rod, and 30 years ago I bought some very nice NM...

I'm looking for recommendations and / or opinions on the following spotters: Bushnell Legend 20-60x80 Ultra HD w ED Prime glass, BaK4 prisms, Rainguard coating ~$470 Vortex Viper 20-60x80 w XD glass, XR & Armortek coatings (also HD???) now ~$500 (up till recently ~$750) Or is it worth...

Who makes the lowest Picatinny rail mount for a Rem 700 long action, preferably a quality mount with a recoil lug? (Tried mounting a Steiner 4-16x50 Military (34mm tube) on a 700 long action with an EGW 20 MOA mount and NightForce Ultralight Medium rings. This setup ended up being too high.)...

I'm about to mount a 33.6 oz Steiner Military scope w NF Ultralight rings onto a Rem 700 7mm Mag. The mount currently on the rifle is an $40 EGW 20 MOA Tactical picatinny rail mount (aluminum & no recoil lug.) The mount isn't bedded, thought there is blue Loctite on the screws. Its a hunting...

Howdy, There is tons of great info in this forum, but personally the more I read, the more confusing it gets since I don’t have the hands-on experience on which to base the decisions, or the ability to check out the hardware before buying… so here goes… Up till now all my 45+ years of hunting...
