    Having questionable optics or build issues, advice needed

    Hey everyone, this is my very first post here and I’ve debated asking for help because I’m probably going to come across as an idiot. I need some help and don’t have any friends or family to go to. This is a long post, but please read. I have a Savage Axis Precision 2 chambered in 6.5...

    M40A1/M40A3 Desert Tribute

    I've decided that my first rifle build will be a tribute to my all time favorite rifle the M40 platform. I first encountered the rifle back when I was a kid and I watched it appear in the film Sniper (1993) Tom Berenger, the TV show NCIS (2003) Mark Harmon, the film Jarhead (2005) Jake...

    New guy from the north east

    Hey all, Brand new here and figured I'd introduce myself. After toying with the idea of getting into long range shooting for over a decade a new buddy pushed me over the edge and I decided to dip my toe into this crazy world. After some feedback on solid beginner equipment and a few weeks of...

    Hello all, I'm a guy looking to get into the nitty gritty of precision rifle sports. A longtime lurker reading and learning quite a bit off the site. A 1911 was my first firearm(in 9mm) sorry, not sorry. It's fun to shoot. But now that I got an entry level M700 set up to my liking I want to...

    Expensive mistake?

    FNG here. Purchased my first firearm (AR-15) recently. After the first range trip I decided to learn how to clean my weapon. Did a fair amount of research and video watching but apparently attention to detail is something you can't always teach as I took a chamber brush and ran it through the...
