    OLD CCI BR-2 Primers Versus NEW CCI BR-2 primers

    I have 1,000 of the old BR-2 Primers still ready to go. They are in the white and light blue boxes with the picture of the target with the dark square at the top and an imprinted rifle outline in the middle as opposed to the new primers that are shipped in the dark blue boxes. Is there any...

    Remington X-Mark Pro Trigger - Old versus New?

    My first Remington SPS had the adjustable X-Mark Pro trigger that required the removal of the nail polish from the set screws before any adjustments could be made. This is the trigger I read about being less than repeatable if the trigger weight is set too low. My second Remington SPS has this...

    New versus old....

    I brought my M38 Nagant to the range yesterday just to put it on paper. Shooting a match with it this coming weekend and wanted to see where it was at. I need to find a pusher to move the front site over but that is a whole other issue. Just for kicks I put 5 rounds through the 700 just to foul...

    Gunsmithing .233 ammunition versus 5.56 pressure problems

    I built a couple of AR-15 uppers for some clients and when test firing each upper I could not get the bolt to latch back on the last shot. After changing gas blocks, BCGs, etc, I finally tried some 5.56 ammo and it worked fine. The ammo I was originally using was .223 PPU 69grn. Has anyone...

    Rifle Scopes S& B Info...Glass comparison versus USO Leupold ET

    Folks, I am contemplating the purchase of a new S&B 5 x 25 PMII. I have a USO SN3 and several Leupold MK 4's. I will say that the USO does edge out the MK 4's in clarity but neither just are not as clear as I want. I really want to try one of the S&B's but just cant seem to bring myself to...

    Surgeon SA versus Lawton 7000

    Quite a price difference I know, but I'd like to get some opinions on why I should consider going one way and not the other. Obviously the Surgeon's integrated recoil lug and rail are very nice options, but is that the crux of what the extra expense gets me? Or is there more to it? What about...

    30'06 versus .308

    I know the Military replaced the 30'06 in the fifties with the .308. Question, if you had two new GAP Crusader rifles with the same barrel length, one in .308 the other in 30'06 would there be a huge difference in accuracy in the two rifles out to a 1000 yards? I am guessing it boils down to the...

    I have been shooting a remington factory 338 lapua. I just recieved my custom 338 lapua with broughten barrel. I thought I would try and use the same load for both rifles but the completed rounds I have been using in my factory rifle won't fit in my custom rifle. Will full length resizing...

    The National Poetry Contest had come down to two semi-finalists, a Yale graduate and a redneck from Arkansas. They were given a word, then allowed two minutes to study the word a come up with a poem that contained the word. The word they were given was "Timbuktu." First to recite his poem was...

    What reticle would be best for this kind of shooting in your guys opinions. Rifle will be an AIA M10 B1 .308 (Modernized Lee Enfield). Sought of would not mind trying the FC2 and reckon it would work really well on pigs etc.

    Is HS Precision's STR $2000 better than Remington's LTR? Thanks.

    AIAW versus PGW Coyote-

    I posted this on another forum, but I know that many here have extensive expirience with the AW, and maybe could shed some opinions. I am looking at picking up one of the two within the coming months. Anybody have expirience with both? Any opinions? I like the durability, folding stock and...

    Range Report Q3131A POI versus any other 5.56 military ammo

    is there a point of impact shift on Q3131A versus say m193 out to 400 yards? or would it be relatively the same as in center mass hits to that distance?

    BRASS-O-MATIC versus BC 1000 annealing machine

    The advantages of automating the annealing process seem obvious to me so for some time I've been thinking about getting one of these annealing macines. The Ken Light machine was the first one I became aware of and after lots of contemplation I was close to plunking my money down for one...

    Advanced Marksmanship Differences shooting gas versus bolt guns?

    For those with a good bit of experience behind both, do you change anything when shooting the gas guns? I would consider myself an "experienced" shooter with my bolt gun at this point. I've been shooting AR15/M16 style rifles for almost 20 years now but very little of that was spent working on...
