    WOW Scott McRee And His Barrel Kit Just Made My day.....Maybe My Year!

    Very nice shooting. I too have Ben contemplating going with one of his barrels for my 700.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Small handy EDC fixed blades, what do you........?

    I carry a Shaerk Little Mook. It's about perfect for my needs. I like that it fits in my pocket and is easier to draw and use than a regular pocket knife and it's oh so sharp!

    Tikka T3 CTR?

    I just seen this rifle in a Palmetto State Armory store today. I believe the price was 1599.00. The one I looked at was the .308. It's a smooth operating and good looking gun. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Question about long range bolt gun

    Just a quick question for all of the guru's on here. Why is the .30-06 not used for long range shooting. I know Carlos Hathcock used it in his service as a sniper and I was just wondering why it sort of fell by the way side? Thanks for any insight you can give. Travis

    Mossberg MVP

    I have one and I love it. It loves the hornady 55 grn bullets. I shot it last weekend out to 500 yards and I had three shots within four inches. I wasn't complaining since it was my first time shooting that far. Very nice rifles and I like the ar mags, it makes for easy unloading after hunting.

    Best varmint rifle from factory?

    I have the MVP and mine was shooting good but not what I thought it could do. Then I found a deal on a Jard 36oz trigger and now it shoots great. It will easily shoot sub moa if I do my part. The only thing I dont like is the way the rounds jump out of the mag. And I haven't noticed a big...

    Need your input with 6.5x55

    Thanks guys for your input. I really like this gun and it seems to shoot pretty good so far. If I do my part it will usually put three shots in 3/4" at 100 yds.

    Need your input with 6.5x55

    I have a swedish m96 mauser in 6.5x55. It has a 24" barrel and I was thinking of cutting it down to about 17 ". Would there be any performance lost if I do this? Would I still be able to shoot out to 500 yds? Thanks guys for any input you can give me. Travis
