    SOLD

    Why does this stuff ALWAYS come up less than 24 hours after I pull the trigger on something else? GLWS!! For real, this is a smoking deal.

    Rifle Scopes UPDATE Bought some optics: Pistol shooter, new to LR need multi-use scope

    I'm also doing that with mounts and other gear- I've purchased 2 different Sitka jackets here, and another off of another forum, that were all indistinguishable from new. There are relatively few things that cost more than several hundred bucks that I don't normally at least attempt to find...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Chronus 4.5-29 on 6.5CM 20" AR10 do I need 20 moa or 0?

    First, I have gone through the stickies, and have done a ton of searches here on the hide for this, but cannot find info that applies directly. Apologies in advance if I'm asking to go over well trodden ground. I just got an Athlon Chronus 4.5-29 (paid $650 w/NF ultralight rings and vortex...

    I just spewed some water across my dogs and wife: that was my EXACT first thought, too!

    Converting once fired 7.62x39 to 6.5 Grendel: Anneal before or after sizing?

    This brass is about 30% ppu, 20% hornady, and 50% win... really only using it to get to know the process and whether to proceed with this caliber. I may buy lapua eventually, but I'm only using this out to about 5-600 yards... don't care too much about sub-moa at these ranges: I'm mostly...

    Converting once fired 7.62x39 to 6.5 Grendel: Anneal before or after sizing?

    Well... for me, in this particular situation, it looks like I should NOT anneal first... Annealed 20, liberally lubed them inside and out, and had 5 push the necks in. Lubed and sized the next 200 or so and didn't have a single neck or shoulder deform.

    Converting once fired 7.62x39 to 6.5 Grendel: Anneal before or after sizing?

    Pretty much exactly what the title says: Should I anneal once fired 7.62x39 before, or after sizing down to 6.5 grendel? For that matter, would anyone suggest I anneal before AND after for some reason? This is my first time necking brass down. I've done about 20 so far. Wet tumbled, dried...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR ii 3-15 x 50mm or Athlon Midas Tac 4-16x44?

    Wow. I'm honestly surprised: even after all the good reviews of the Athlon in general and Ares specifically, I really thought more -or some- would really prefer the Burris. Ordered an Ares today. Thanks, guys!

    Rifle vise for cleaning and general smithing?

    And how do you like the Bondhus Thandles? Are they pretty durable? I have a bad history of destroying allen wrenches.

    Rifle vise for cleaning and general smithing?

    WOW! in your 3rd pic it looks like the Elk? in on the wall is turning it's head and HOWLING!! in desperation-or anger- at the rust on your vice! (Very nice setup and bench, btw)

    Feel Good Story of the Day... why capitalism works!!!

    It's crazy how horrible people seem to gravitate to bureaucratic institutions...and psychopaths are exceptionally well equipped to exploit systems therein and ascend in the power structures... Examples, catholic church, EVERY govt org, many militaries, etc... It's also crazy how good some of...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR ii 3-15 x 50mm or Athlon Midas Tac 4-16x44?

    That's the 1 thing I keep going back to: I've read several posts where people were comparing the XTR to much higher dollar scopes, and saying the XTR was clearer... and then there are just about as many saying the Athlon is clearer... it's just that the cheap part of me (I've only ever...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR ii 3-15 x 50mm or Athlon Midas Tac 4-16x44?

    I am trying to decide between the following 2 scopes: Burris XTR ii 3-15 x 50mm or Athlon Midas Tac 4-16x44? The Burris is used, and the Athlon is new... They're the same price. This will most likely go on a 6.5 Grendel Ar w/a 22" barrel. Currently shooting it intermediate ranges with a...
