    Optics Leupold Mark 4 (4.5-14x50) FFP M3 New in Factory Sealed Box!

    Leupold Mark 4 - Brand new in factory sealed Box 4.5-14x50 FFP TMR reticle M3 elevation 30mm Thought I'd throw this out there to see if anyone was interested before I open this and use it. It is in the factory sealed box, not a return or refurbished scope. I purchased two of these brand new...

    A single turn 13-16 MRAD low-profile (short) knob would be nice. Probably easier to implement a zero stop with a one-turn turret. The old S&B 4-16x42's and Leupold M3's were nice.

    Best factory ammo for 20” 308 for long range training class up to 1300yd?

    It wasn't a typo. He did a couple of videos with that ammo but honestly, I don't remember what it was. What does the school's gear list say to bring for ammo? I would only take what they recommend - and that stuff probably isn't on the list. You really don't need expensive specialty ammo for...

    Best factory ammo for 20” 308 for long range training class up to 1300yd?

    You're really overthinking this. All you need are 175gr BTHP SMK either Federal or Black Hills. It will get you out there even with an 18" barrel. Plan for at least 100 rounds a day. Those classes are designed to help you get dope on your rifle out to the max distance. The instructors will...

    Rifle Scopes 10x riflescope poll...

    Pretty sure the idea was to create a totally new product, not update an SWFA SS scope. The comparison and references being discussed about the SWFA scopes are because they're one of the only/few companies making a solid and reliable fixed power optic right now at an affordable price. So take a...

    Rifle Scopes 10x riflescope poll...

    Why does every piece of shooting gear have to be tailored for PRS these days? As ILya said, that market is oversaturated already, there are literally hundreds of other more practical scope options available for that sport. It would be a mistake to design a fixed power scope for PRS. A lot of...

    Probably would be unpopular with the PRS/Competition crowd but definitely see a niche for it with other many shooters. Features: - exposed elevation turret - YES - ZeroStop - YES - covered windage turret - YES - modern tree reticle (let's say I can sketch something reasonably inoffensive up...

    Gunsmithing Punches... Good ones?

    Admittedly a major part of the issue could be technique or lack thereof... However, I've never tried using quality punches.

    Gunsmithing Punches... Good ones?

    Lol, this is true... I was being a bit sarcastic but it's definitely a skill I need to work on. Removing factory-installed parts is what usually mangles them for me and I have always bought the cheap punches. I don't get much practice when using them only once in a while... also why I could...

    Gunsmithing Punches... Good ones?

    Thank you guys, really helpful! Those Starretts look pretty solid. Just curious where ya'll are getting the Snap-On tools? Back in the day, you could only get them from the Snap-On guy that visited your garage in the truck.

    Gunsmithing Punches... Good ones?

    Looking for some recommendations on quality punches that won't bend from regular use for things like trigger installations and AR assembly. I've tried several different brands over the years, some that claim they're steel, tried expensive brass punches and all have bent out of shape and are...

    Gap10 G2 Scope Mount ??

    They use 30mm and/or 34mm Unimounts. If I remember correctly they're custom parts and not in the Badger catalog. The 34mm model is 20MOA and the height was 1.27". Not sure about the 30mm, sorry. I'd reach out to GAP or Badger if that's the specific model you need.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    $599 is a great price for those 16.5’s. Bet you can find a 20” SPS Tactical for a bit less, they’re much more common. Don’t know too much about the other rifles you listed but finding used stocks and parts for the 700’s will be much easier if you’re sticking to the budget build plan.

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Those Remington 16.5” rifles are definitely cool and worth the $600. For a budget build it’s perfect and there’s not much else to do to it. Barrel is already short and threaded. Do a stock upgrade and scope base and you’re off and running. You don’t need to spend a ton on a fancy chassis system...

    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    No issues. I’ve done a few. 18” is nice for maneuvering and you can still reach out there without losing too much.

    AI AW mag Conversion

    Thanks, I was afraid of that. I understand the 2 and 3 lug difference feeding the double stacks but what actions are made specifically to run AW mags? They are all probably out of my budget which was why I stick with Remingtons. What reliability issues are possible?

    AI AW mag Conversion

    Considering having an R700 s/a receiver modified to accept the AIAW magazines. The ability to top load a DBM and the shorter magazines would be great. Was wondering if anybody knows if the receiver can still be used for factory BDL after being modded for AW mags? I'm comfortable top loading...
