    Rifle Scopes Scope Dilemma

    Sounds like you have some rifle A.D.D going on. Quite common, and the cure is a project. I would keep the Razor on the RPR. Then depending on the barrel profile of the 308, lighten her up as a practical rifle of sorts, for hunting or just some shoot and scoot under 300Y. You can fling any ammo...

Right now I am hitting the gym quite heavy and riding both cross country, mountain and paved to drop weight and have fun (I currently have a CAADX cross and F5 Mountain bikes) My goal is to get back the endurance I had and cycling is a great way to do this. I want to...

I really like the cross bike because I can used it on trails, gravel and road. Once I get down to the low 180's Im gonna get me a used road bike, plenty of nice places...

    question for the cyclists

    So after 20+ years I am getting back into cycling. I used to mountain bike all over Colorado and Japan. I will be 50 this year and I vowed to be in shape by that date in Aug. I was 220 and now down to 195 with a goal of 185 with a reasonable BMI. So to the question. I count my calories and know...

    Bluetooth headphones

    I used to be a bit of a headphone freak, i use Grado SR325's at home. But for working out and cycling I have a cheapo pair of iFogz from best buy. They last all day long and I like the little magnet clip. I can roll the cords around and stow it in my pocket or clip it to my collar...

    Rifle Scopes Should I Cerakote my scope?

    I would not do it, Kryptek is cool but not sure if its 10 years cool. If you want camo, then look at some "gun skins" at least you can rip them off if you dont like it. EDIT: Point im making is Kryptek is cool, however it may not be cool down the line. You can always swap stocks or paint over...

    ear protection for 300 wm

    get a brake that ports the gas a bit forward, or get a heavy stock/chassis. Bruised shoulders will heal, your hearing will not.

    Rifle Scopes Hunting scope suggestion

    You say you have a T3x lite, I suggest you keep it "lite". Some good suggestions here, but if your primary function is hunting, then the Razor LH is a good choice. Another in the price range is the Leupold LRP 4-14, it is ffp mil mil and only weighs 20.3 oz. another is the Zeiss HD5 with Z800...

    Never reloaded before

    Not sure where you are located but there are some big box stores (Sportsmans Warehouse) in CO and WY that offer reloading intro classes. As far as kits, most RCBS kits are pretty nice, they have all you need to get started. Just read about different types of dies and then buy those last based on...

    Rifle Scopes Talley Bases

    I like the Talley removables. They are much more expensive but you can use multiple scopes on the same rifle and they lock up solid with very little to no poi shift.

    Rifle Scopes What Can I Clean Lenses With

    You can still find Ziess wipes on amazon. I keep those in my range bag. I also have a SB cleaning kit at my bench and it comes with a tiny lens pen as well. They are $20 but one came with my SB scope from Eurooptic . https://www.eurooptic.com/schmidt-bender-lens-cleaning-kit.aspx

    Remington model 700 SPS varmint

    Accuracy issues are best handled by removing variables. Here is how I would handle it. Take the rifle apart and put it back together ensuring the action screws are secured to proper torque. Remove the scope and re-install and again properly torque to spec. Go to the range with a few boxes...
