    Gunsmithing Colorado Gunsmiths

    Dave Sullivan in Erie has always done good work for me. He’s an active High Master High Power shooter too (not that most shooters do that but he shoots what he builds too.)

    Need opinion/suggestion on a budget AR10 build

    Same as Landon4 but I only bought enough to get cases for handloading. The Hornady works for what I do (tempted to get Lapua cases but I have my 6.5x47 rifle for serious stuff) I hardly ever shoot factory except to get brass and break in a barrel. Target Sport USA has deals on case lots. If...

    Need opinion/suggestion on a budget AR10 build

    Just another thought, are you fixed on a 308? You can buy/build a 6.5 CM for the same money and have a better shooting rifle that is capable of 1,000 yards. Ammo cost is similar if you shop around. Or buy an additional upper and use the same lower. 2 guns in one (unfortunately 2 scopes...

    Need opinion/suggestion on a budget AR10 build

    Why not just get a Palmetto State Armory rifle, or one of their uppers and a DIY lower? Or one of their lowers if you want to mix and match. Mine shot right around a minute right out of the box with factory ammo. Under $700 and you don't need to buy all the tools to build it properly or worry...

    Our Paparock?

    Man, I have spent way too much time on this thread but such entertainment is so hard to find. Now I have to go back and look for the other legendary melt downs that I missed. Thanks Strykervet......:( I'm going to do some searching but if someone has a link to bring me (and a few others I'm...

    Our Paparock?

    OK, Some how I was off the forum when all this happened but holy Sh*t, this is some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen here or on any other forum. I don't post much but have followed for a few years. You guys are masters. I'll make sure I don't take off that much time again. PS I'm...

    Tactical/business casual pants

    I like the look and comfort of the regular Vertex pants. They don't scream tacticool but I was disappointed with the durability. My wallet wore a whole in the back pocket within 6 months. My regular jeans and 5.11 tac-lites last better than that. Otherwise I prefer them over the 5.11. They...

    Best case trimmer

    I've used my Giraud for years and it still keeps plugging away. Fast, easy on the hands (you will get cramped thumbs if you don't take a break once in a while.) I only use it a few times a year but I do a couple thousand cases at a time when I do it. That gets me through the competition...

    G7 & Kestrel 2500 vs Kestrel 4500 Applied Ballistics BT & Leica 1600B?

    I haven't run a G7 so I can't compare but I have been shooting with the Kestrel 4500 AB BT and it has been spot on at every distance so far. I like being able to create multiple load profiles on my computer and then transferring them as needed to the Kestrel so I don't have to scroll through...

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    I just wanted to give a quick review on my first run with the Kestrel 4500 AB. I used it for a match with varied distances from 200 to 800 yards (most over 600) with light winds. I uploaded the ammo profile using 100 yard chrono data (308, 168 Amax @2606 fps). This was also the first time I...

    Does anyone still have Terrapins in stock?

    Mile High has two Green ones left as of this afternoon. Apparently this thread resulted in a little run on them.

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Turret Question

    Back from the range. Set the scope to 41 clicks, loosed the 2 screws 1/2 turn, turned the dial to zero and tightened the screws. Good to go. Just like my Nightforce (duh!) It does feel like the reticle is moving (resistance) but it's not. Also, the directions talk about pulling up on the...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Turret Question

    I think I got it figured put. It was different from how it felt with the Nightforce. Thanks. Other than that lovin the scope.

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Turret Question

    It looks that way. I might have to go back to the range to see if it is actually the case. Dumb me waiting to get back in a warm place to try it. I had it in a gun vice focused on a spot on the wall so I could see if the reticle moved but it was close enough that maybe I couldn't see it well...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Turret Question

    I just got a new Steiner 5x25 with the MSR reticle. Shot it this morning to get it zero'd in and like the scope a lot. I really like the MSR set up and the way the turret jumps up to show a new scale on the second revolution. My 168 Amax handload ended up with zero windage out of the box and...

    First time use of Hornady O.A.L. Gauge Questions??

    One issue I identified with the Hornady tool is that the internal rod can move when you tighten the brass knob (lightly.) I was getting a small indentation in the middle of the groove that affected measurements. I have to buff it smooth once in a while. I also do the measure like someone else...

    Official (DTA) SRS, HTI, Covert, Hunter Thread

    Quick question for Gen 1 SRS users. I have Gen 1 with a 308, 338 Lapua and 6.5 Creemoor barrel. the 308 and 6.5 shoot within 2 or 3 clicks of each other at 100 yards. I haven't shot the 338 in a while and my early notes had it shooting 9 clicks low. The last time it wasn't even on paper...

    cross fit $$$$$$$$$$$$

    I've been at it for about 6 months. I get a firefighter discount (most boxes offer military, fire and police discounts) so it is $95/month (regular fee is $110/mth here). I go 4 times a week. Is it worth it? Depends on the individual. I've joined non-coached gyms for years and went through...

    what are your thoughts on boots?

    I've had good luck with the Sportiva Glacier WLF. Heavy duty but not a heavy boot. Great support for rough terrain and heavy loads. I wear them all summer for firefighting (fairly abusive environment) and they hold up pretty well. I used to try and wear Whites. Nick's etc. but my feet and...
