    Range Report 270wsm necked to 6.5 or 7mmwsm (which is best??)

    Re: 270wsm necked to 6.5 or 7mmwsm (which is best??) It depends what you intend to do with the rifle. Having never owned a 7WSM, it does appear to be simplier, but the recoil should be considerably greater than the 6.5mm version. I hate recoil and brakes. The 6.5mmWSM should give you...

    Advanced Marksmanship Offhand at 500 yards

    Re: Offhand at 500 yards Good to see some all-around shooting. There is more to rifle shooting than shooting of a bipod. Sling up and learn something. +1 on off-hand shooting.

    Factory Barrels.

    Re: Factory Barrels. Some factory barrels shoot great, others not too well at all. For 90% of the shooting public, factory barrels are good enough. I shoot a lot of vintage military rifles and some of them will still shoot sub 1 MOA after 5-6000 rounds. My recommendation is to put a custom...

    Suppressors glock 20

    Re: glock 20 mkv, The G20 is a great handgun especially if you reload. Loaded down, the 10mm is a sweetheart in the big frame. Loaded hot, it is a handful if you shoot it much. 50 rounds of the hot stuff and I am done. I had a Kimber 1911 in 10mm. Despite a much lighter & cleaner...

    Gunsmithing The "ideal" barrel contour

    Re: The "ideal" barrel contour mdesign, I think a standard sporter-weight will do anything you would want if you are talking whitetail-sized critters assuming the barrel is put together right. In my experience, the heavy barrels are not worth the weight considering the number of shots is...

    Rifle Scopes Tacklesource Ebay- Anyone deal with him?

    Re: Tacklesource Ebay- Anyone deal with him? Respectfully, anti-liability is saying that guns are unsafe and part and parcel of the liberal agenda against weapons - thus anti-gun. But if you enjoy their koolaid ... Respectfully, anti-liability is actually saying an item or type of item does...

    Rifle Scopes Which spotting scope for competition?

    Re: Which spotting scope for competition? I have not used the newest of the Kowa, but for high power/Palma matches out to 1000yds., the Kowa are all you need. Years ago, I used a Leica (sponsored at the time) and the clarity was amazing. With that said, you do not need extreme clarity to...

    6.5x55 vs 260 Remington who should be faster ?

    Re: 6.5x55 vs 260 Remington who should be faster ? The 6.5x55 is a long action cartridge in a Remington 700, not a short action cartridge. To think otherwise is foolish unless the bullet is seated so deeply as to barely have any bearing surface in the neck of the brass. This is not...

    ANYONE IN Jacksonville NC

    Re: ANYONE IN Jacksonville NC Years ago there was a place (Durham rifle and pistol club) in Alamance Co. I think. I was with a member at the time and I think they shot out to 300y at least. You may want to check with that club. Again membership, but good luck finding something else.

    Which should I spend more on, rifle or glass?

    Re: Which should I spend more on, rifle or glass? Get exactly what you want in a scope and the action. Learn to shoot it and then worry about the rest of the rifle as the money becomes available to rebarrel, restock, etc. The scope and action are the heart of the set-up. A good marksman...

    Rifle Scopes EXPENSIVE SCOPES!!!!!

    Re: EXPENSIVE SCOPES!!!!! There are some interesting views on this thread so I will input my thinking. I play a lot of different games and have specialty equipment for many of those games. For the money, Leupold is hard to beat and in my opinion the best all-around rifle scope (whatever...

    How cheap can you safely go on spotting scopes?

    Re: How cheap can you safely go on spotting scopes My suggestion on spotting scopes in general is to only get high quality spotting scopes unless you want one that is disposable. Reasons for this view: I have purchased several inexpensive/cheap spotting scopes over the years and I have...
