    .223 vs .308

    Re: .223 vs .308 I really liked my decision to build a fast twist .223 Remington. It has been a good training rifle and it is easy to shoot over 100 rounds during a practice session. Recoil is negligible and barrel heat is nothing compared to larger rounds. I have shot 30 round strings on...

    Gun for the Mrs.

    Re: Gun for the Mrs. My little lady, 5" tall, has a Remington M600 chambered in .260 Remington with a Lilja 'Sendero' taper barrel & muzzlebrake. She has no problem shooting 80+ rounds a day including positional shooting. Depending on how small a shooter is, stock fit can be a difficult...

    Custom Mauser Value

    Re: Custom Mauser Value By definition, it is worth what someone is willing to pay. Mausers like this do not have much of a market anymore. To me, a .220 Swift built on an FN action with an unknown number of rounds through it is a $300 gun at best. If you want the maximum cash from the...

    Parma, Idaho -Winter LRTR-JAN 8, 2011

    Re: Parma, Idaho -Winter LRTR-JAN 8, 2011 It would be easy for the Parma club to have a monthly shoot since there is so many steel targets available. I would certainly be up for more matches in the area.

    Service rifle competition suggestions

    Re: Service rifle competition suggestions Respectfully, I feel your money would be best spent on ammunition for practice and better quality bullets rather than a top quality upper. Learn the basics through practice and matches with burning up your first barrel. After this point, start...

    Rifle Scopes SN-3 3.2-17X or S&B 3-12X50 PMII Military

    Re: SN-3 3.2-17X or S&B 3-12X50 PMII Military The reticle options, tube diameter, turret options, and customer service opinions swayed me to go with USO. Any difference in glass quality there might be between USO and S&B was quickly outweighed by the above factors for me. Really look at...

    AR-15 Questions

    Re: AR-15 Questions Good choice, 243V. It is the first shot that counts with a hunting rifle. You do not need a heavy barreled AR for a coyote rifle where you will only get a shot or two, plus a lighter weight is easier to hold in more awkward field positions, e.g. target showed up exactly...

    Hunting & Fishing All around caliber

    Hunting & Fishing 223 for Whitetail

    Re: 223 for Whitetail My .223 was used to kill a NC whitetail with one shot of a 80gr. Hornady AMAX at 2700fps muzzle velocity. It hit a rib upon entry and passed through both lungs to take out a rib on the far side. After seeing that, I would not question the effectiveness of the .223 on...
