recommendations

I don't have a long range rifle, but I'm looking to buy. My budget is ~$2,000. I'm eying the Tikka T3x Tac A1 and the Christenson MPR. I am looking for a 6.5 creedmoor/prc. Suggestions on any others?

I realize that MIL/MIL and FFP is the hot ticket now. But, after carefully considering how I will actually use the scope, I've determined that MOA/MOA and SFP will suit me better. Much as I enjoy tactical matches, I've got too many years and surgeries behind me to run around the courses. So the...

I'm thinking either the Shooting Chrony F1 or maybe a CED M2. $200 is my limit so the M2 is right there at the limit. Anybody have a link to the place with the best price on one of the M2's by any chance? Any other recommendations? Gotta get this puppy ordered up this week. Thanks! -X

Can anybody recommend any DVD's that demonstrate the basics of rifle shooting, particularly the Marksmanship principles but including field postions ect?? I was taught to shoot "properly" a long time ago and its dawned on me that over the years I have picked a lot of bad habits and forgotten...

A group of us are traveling this week to a Gun Competition from New Jersey. We are taking I95 South. NJ to Fredericksburg Virginia Does anyone have any recommended stops on the way to Virginia? Gun Stores that have Tactical and reloading gear would be of interest. Any must see stops that are...

Does anyone have an opinion on what they consider to be the best bipod for a heavy (.375 Chey Tac class) rifle? Harris seems the most popular but if someone knows of another slick option I am all ears. Since we are talking about guns that weigh at or near 20# it would seem spending a bunch of...

Need to rebarrel AIAW .308 I need recommendations for a chamber reamer purchase. This is a rifle used in professional instruction classes, TAC matches and some F class F/TR. The 7.62 chamber kind of hard on .308 brass and want to stay away from too tight match/Palma chamber. Shooting mostly .155...

So I was drawn for my first elk hunt here in NV. Done a lot of deer hunting over the years but no elk hunting. Going to check with the BLM and G&F in my hunting area for advice as well but I was wondering if others had ran across good books on elk hunting tactics/trends/etc. Any other advice...

I am going to load for a Prairie Dog extermination trip in 3 weeks & want re-use my once fired brass, mostly Hornady, some BHA. I'm going to use 50g Vmax bullets, CCI BR4 primers ( or Fed 205M). In the past Hornady factory ammo w 50g Vmaxes has shot amazing groups from my 24" Bushmaster...

Hey guys, I am in the middle of building a new rifle and have decided to go the 6.5x47 lapua route. I have a Rem700 SA which will reside in an AICS stock. My question is what barrel manufacture do most recommend, length, twist etc.? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

I'm new to reloading and was wondering if anyone might have powder recommendations for the following calibers. In effect, i'm just trying to put together some good range / plinking rounds. I'm not trying to set any records. .223 will be fired from a semi-auto (M4). 230 gr. FMJ .45 ACP 55...

I'd like to build a 300 win mag or 300 wsm in a AICS 2.0 chasis. It will most likely see most of it's action at 600 yards but will shoot 1000 occasionally. I've built my share of gas guns but never a bolt gun. I wouldn't mind using a Rem 700 barreled action or a FN XBR barreled action. I'm open...

I am looking to purchase a chronograph to enhance my reloading. Any good experiences and or recommendations? Is it really worth it to get all of the "extras" or will a basic unit suffice? Thanks again...

I am considering a few different mid price range scopes for a new build, but am having a helluva time deciding. I am looking at the following: (and wanting to keep it under $600) Bushnell Elite4200 6-24X50 MDOT Leupold MARK2 T1 6-18X40AO MDOT Any recommendations or suggestions?

I need some recommendations for a bbl to use in my Glock 35 that has a fully supported chamber. I'm going to be running some buffalo bore 155 gold dots out of it and they are coming out at around 1300 fps, which is pretty hot. The gun is going to be a dedicated woods gun to be used while...

I am in the process of obtaining a donor rifle/action for medium game hunting first, and LR Target shooting as a secondary activity. I'm interested in building, rather than just buying off the rack. My requirements are: Man portable: 10 lbs or less complete Caliber: .284 Performance range...

I have HS precision bottom metal and two new HS precision 10 round mags that are made for 308. The rifle is a 300WSM with a Mcmillan A5. What is the prefered method of modifying the mags in order to raise the bullet higher in the mag so that the bolt will pick up the WSM cartridge? Just bending...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes anyway. A friend of mine is thinking about picking up an NV scope for hog hunting. Does anyone have any recommendations or things to stay away from? Thanks.

My friend needs some work done on a 700, muzzle break install, stock work, etc. Anyone know a good gunsmith in San Jose, CA? I live in Austin and don't want to have to worry about shipping, FFLs, etc.

I have a small compressor (4 cfm @ 90 psi) and need to grit blast a barrelled action. I want to buy a small sandblasting gun that requires a minimum amount of air flow. Can someone suggest a blasting gun for this application?
