    PrimaryArms 2.5-10x GLX - Are they durable?

    I've got a PrimaryArms GLX 2.5-10x optic, and I want to be more confident about it's durability. It's in a quality mount, installed properly but this is my first non-LPVO optic. It's a bit bigger, which means more likely to bump against things. Does anyone know of, or have firsthand experience...

    Rifle Scopes Delta Stryker 1-6x24 LPVO Durability?

    Hi all, this is my first post here! I'm looking for an LPVO to put on a 16" .223 Wylde AR, and from everything I've seen and read, the Delta Stryker LPVO seems fantastic. Clear glass, true 1x, easy to get behind, repeatable turrets, etc. Koshkin's and C_Does' videos really impressed me and have...

    30mm, M40A1 Unertl style base/rings?

    Are there any places that can custom build a high quality M40A1 Unertl style welded one piece base/rings in 30mm? I am budget building an A1 clone using an SWFA 10x MIL/MOA which uses a 30mm tube. I am currently using a Badger steel 20moa base and steel Max-50 rings because I like durability...

    Rifle Scopes Most durable base and rings for Remington 700?

    I am putting together a Remington 700 in .308win as a hunting/all purpose/semi-long range rifle with a little bit of an M40A1 style to it.

    Savage 110E build durability?

    Would like some input on the durability of my older Savage 110E action currently chambered in 30-06 with blind mag. I am curious if this is a rifle that can be a good, durable "all purpose" rifle. I plan to swap to a bull barrel in same caliber with a M40 B&C stock. It will be used for anything...

    Gunsmithing Black stock refinishing (cerakote) durability

    how well does cerakote hold up on a rifle stock after it has been refinished? Has anyone ever had it actually begin to rub off? Looking to refinish my HTG stock in OD green cerakote since black isn't the greatest camouflage.

    Durability

    Reading old posts it seems like the AI AW is hands down the most durable rifle out there (modern 308). How do the runners-up compare? Sako TRG-22? What parts tend to be the weak links, and what can be done about replacement or repair? Scott
