    barrel life…remington 700

    i probably do shoot 4-5K rounds per year, but i dont shoot it all out of one gun... its between about 10 guns... sometimes i'll go to the pistol range, sometimes the rifle range, and sometimes skeet with the shotguns... so it was more theoretically speaking, that if i was shooting everything out...

    Remington 700 recall...

    I checked their website and found there was a recall for the Remington 700... I guess they used some sort of adhesive or glue in the trigger system that goes bad and causes the gun to be fired without anyone pulling the trigger.. There are two options to remedy this.. 1.

I guess what I'm really trying to decide is if (for a beginning precision shooter like myself) its worth the money to practice with expensive match loads or to get all my fundementals down with...

    New from Sacramento..

    Neil, I've never competed in any sort of gun competition for fun. I'm, just a weekend warrior that sometimes doesn't even make it out every weekend. I may come to watch to try and get a feel of things. But IO've never reached out past 300 yards before. But that IS my goal, is to learn as much...

    cheap factory ammo vs match grade factory ammo...???

    okay, but please define "huge difference". for example, lets just say with PERFECT match grade ammo I can hit 1/4" grouping at 300 yards...what should I expect with cheap factory ammo? Like a cheap white box of brass federal for example.. should i expect 1/2" groupings? 1"? 3"? how MUCH worse...

    yes, I'm aware...a horrible state to live in when it comes to gun rights (and plenty of other things).. anyway, I'm in the Sacramento area. I've been in the AR world for a while, been shooting handguns occasionally just for practice and I enjoy skeet shooting every now and then... but...

    cheap factory ammo vs match grade factory ammo...???

    Hey ya'll...I'm brand new here and this is my first post ;) I've been into skeet shooting, handguns, and the AR world for a while but my most recent interest has been precision shooting... My question is, how bad can cheap factory ammo be? (Compared to match grade factory ammo) For...
