I think that im going to get both the 45 and 9 versions of the ti-rant. My local dealer has a group buy for 20% off and that seems to be about a cheap as they go. My questions are what are the cons to these cans? It seems that everyone either gets the osprey or the ti-rants. Is there any...

OK - new to NV and just have a PVS-14/helmet system on order (with SF-M1 for helmet-mount). For purposes of indoor/outdoor home defense, and night coyote hunting in the NE, I'll be looking for lasers and lights for a SIG556R (with ACOG 3x30), SIG556 (with EOTech XPS3-4 and 3xMag) and Glock 17...

I recently acquired a 1956 52C heavy barrel which, judging by the dusty crud in the bolt assembly, probably hasn't been used in decades. I want to get it going again and fit some aperture sights. Here's what I'm starting with: It has a marksman stock that appears aftermarket, because the...

Hey all, I'm considering getting a USO SN3 scope. I plan on shooting at distances of 100-400 yards, and then gradually expanding as my shooting improves. I have some noob questions however... Is there such a thing as too much magnification? I'm debating on either the SN3 3.2-17x or the SN3...

Ok...I've been looking. I hate the search function here. I need to know the best way to mount my base, rings, and scope. I have a 10FP, Farrell base, XTR rings, Vortex scope. Should I use loctite? I had a red dot on a shotgun which came loose. I dont want that to happen again. If you use...

Hello...I picked up my first big rifle recently. I've notice that when i chamber a round into the gun that the feed ramp seems to scratch the cases a bit.. I have put 40 rounds through it and was thinking perhaps i should have the ramp polished. I have searched and search and found no...

I searched and didnt find anything. I am wondering about some of the Desert Tactical accessories. Specifically their quality and prices. I am wondering if their cleaning kit is high quality and worth the cost. It includes a coated cleaning rod a bore guide plus more stuff. Is anyone here...

1) Who makes a 20MOA 1-piece rail for a Howa 1500/WBY Vanguard besides Roedale precision? 2) I have Leupold low PRW rings holding my scope onto a Roedale rail on my Sako 75 at the moment, the scope sits irritatingly high. What's another quality option for lower 1" rings than the low PRWs, but...
