    Colt AR15 question

    I have a Colt 6920 AR15 that has the .169" trigger and hammer pins and has the stock Mil-Spec trigger assembly. This rifle has been setting in my safe for years and is new and unfired. I was getting it cleaned up and ready to use today and I noticed that the hammer pin rotates when moving the...

    Is it a bad idea to use an aluminum pic rail with steel rings

    I was doing so research and I read that using a aluminum rail with steel rings is a bad idea, as the thermo expansion of the rail and rings will be at a different rate.

    Vortex Viper PST II

    Anybody have any experience with a Vortex Viper PST II 5-25x50 FFP? Most specifically has anyone had issues with the elevation turret breaking? Also how is the tracking and return to zero with this scope?

    F T/R Competition Vortex Golden Eagle

    Just like some feedback from any users of this scope. I am currently shooting a Savage 10 FCP-K in .308 with a SS 10-40 scope. I shoot mostly between 300 to 600 yards. I have a chance to pick up a Golden Eagle at a good price. How desirable are these Golden Eagle scopes in F class ?

    F T/R Competition Starting out in F T/R

    Wow what a great wealth of advice and knowledge! At this point it looks like the store where the 168 SMK's were purchased is willing to exchange them for 175 SMK's. Also I have to agree that until my skills are to the point that my equipment becomes the factor that limits my progress. I will be...

    Is 1 in 10 twist rate good for 175 SMK's ?

    Yeah the first thing I will upgrade would be the scope. Oh and i forgot to mention that I have a EGW 20moa one piece scope base on my rifle.

    F T/R Competition Starting out in F T/R

    I am looking to start out in mid range F T/R this summer. I currently have a Savage 10FCP-K in .308 which has a 24" barrel and a 1 in 10 twist rate. On my 10FCP-K I have SWFA SS 10x mil-dot scope. For the bi-pod I have a Harris. Most of my shooting will be at mid ranges as most matches around...

    Has anybody purchased a scope from Big Supply Shop? Their price on the Sightron scope I am looking at is $130.00 less than SWFA !

    F T/R Competition Good Glass For FT/R

    I have been looking at the Sightron scopes. What I am seeing is it seems that the scopes with the 1/8 moa clicks are the more desirable, but not sure if the fine cross-hair or 1/8 moa target dot reticles are best for FT/R.

    F T/R Competition Good Glass For FT/R

    Need some recommendations for a good scope for shooting .308 FT/R class. My max budget is $600.00 I currently have a 10x mildot SS scope. Most of the shooting I will be doing is mid range stuff (300 to 600 yrds) as we have no 1000 yrd ranges in my area.

    F T/R Competition F-TR Mid Range Matches

    Just need a little info. Do most F-TR mid range matches include COF at 200 and 400 yards along with the 600 COF?
