    Wierd thing happened at the range Saturday

    In the 90's, right after I got out of the Marine Corps, (I was in comms in artillery, but we all had to qualify), I was shooting at a well-used national forest spot near Boulder. Some guys with their new guns came out and swept me and my sister with a loaded mac 10 or tec 9 or something. I went...

    Photos 'Snipers' in Aleppo, Syria.

    The CIA has a training program going on, and it's been ongoing since mid last year. Not sure what they cover, but I assume real sniping is not the main thing. I would guess they are teaching basic small unit/fireteam tactics and insurgency tactics but I have no real info about that. As for...

    Photos 'Snipers' in Aleppo, Syria.

    I was with a group of guys firing out of fighting holes in a concrete room. One of the rifles had a muzzle brake, and every time that guy fired the guy next to him got his bell rung. They stopped the action and left because of it. I was DYING laughing, despite the seriousness of what was...

    Member Link Up Southern CA below Camp Pendleton?

    Well, I move out there on friday, and I am available daytimes once or twice a week, and on weekends. I don't mind going to a range that's 300, but I'd prefer to be shooting out past 500. I'm up for starting next week. I'm in Encinitas, but can travel up to two hours or so for a day at the range...

    But as far as the muzzle brake goes, no problem?

    Moving to Southern California, double-checking law

    Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this, but I didn't see a section that seemed a better fit. I'm moving to North County San Diego this friday. I have a .223 Rem 700 Tactical with 20" threaded barrel and SAS muzzle brake. I Just want to make sure I am within the law having the...

    Custom rifle business

    I have had this same experience, I have owned a few businesses in my day. I really don't like to combine hobby and work. But once I had a business that provided me with a living without working I was free to move into pursuing my passion 'full time' (photography). But the key is that while I...

    Accuracy Question, 700 Tactical .223 with M223

    Yeah, I was thinking of just going til this barrel burns out, then getting it trued when I get a new barrel. Not really gonna have the money for a full custom for a while... I HAVE been shooting from the prone and bench... I learned to shoot in the Marines with a sling, I think I'll try to...

    Advanced Marksmanship Practical Tactical Practice - Avoiding Group Shots

    I shot the dot drill today. The 10 ring is 1". 100 Yards. Remington 700 .223 Varmint 1:12 with B&C Adjustable stock, Millett 4-16x50. Shot with Hornady Varmint Express 55grain vmax. Average is .44" from POA. The 'flyers' are when I let the rifle get hot, I think. When I let it cool down it's...

    Accuracy Question, 700 Tactical .223 with M223

    Yes, action screws tightened to spec. As for cleaning, it depends on what 'a lot' is. I have found that after I clean it it groups pretty well, but after 40-50 rounds I get groups like this: and this: I notice it gets powder fouled very quickly, like after 10 rounds, and shows a lot of carbon...

    Accuracy Question, 700 Tactical .223 with M223

    OK, I have been shooting this gun a lot. I have probably 1000 rounds through it by now. I had an issue with dinging the crown, so my groups have opened up significantly. I have it up at Mile High Shooting to get it recrowned/threaded, Timney Trigger (the stupid xmark pro won't adjust down lower...

    Dinged Crown and Accuracy - Zero Issue

    So I took the rifle up to Mile High Shooting Accessories and they are gonna recrown it. I also put a flat base on it, hopefully that fixes these issues. They were very helpful up there

    Dinged Crown and Accuracy - Zero Issue

    So when I bought my 20" Rem 700 Tactical .223, the muzzle face had marks on it, but the crown was intact. Now I notice this big ding on the crown and I also notice that my accuracy has gone down. I went from shooting .5-.75 MOA (probably averaging .65-.7MOA) to now struggling to shoot under...
