    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    So......I sold my custom Accurate Ordnance rifle and thinking about picking up something along these lines. RPR vs Tikka Tac? Is the extra money for the Tikka worth it? Say I went with the RPR.....Should one go with 6.5 creed or buy the cheap closeout 6 creed and rebarrel to whatever? More...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Best "CHEAP" 1911?

    Well got the Citadel. Took it apart.....wow! What a PITA compared to a Glock!! Loaded it up and shot 42 rounds and only had 1 FTF. I was shooting reloads so that coulda had a part in that. I love the gun. I got $450 in it and wish I had bought two at the same price. Granted it needs more...

    Rifle Scopes best scope for around 600

    Lots of folks rave about them.....Just what I have seen. I mean were talking a $300 dollar scope. For those that have shot through Walmart Bushnells and Tascos they prolly are clean as a bell. You cant look through S&B stuff and expect a 3 bill scope to be anything close to it. I have never...

    Rifle Scopes best scope for around 600

    Man from what I have read the 10x or 12x SWFA scopes for $300 are HARD TO BEAT!! I have the upper end SWFA SS 5-20x50 and plan to outfit at least one if not two SPS Tacticals for the rest of the family and these will be my choice. Two scopes for $600....that are proven time and time again.

    Cutting down SPS Tactical stock for youth??

    Hey guys figured yall would know. Looking to get my g/f's son into some LR shooting. Figured the SPS Tactical .223 would be perfect for him. Has anyone cut down one of the factory SPS Tactical stocks for shorter LOP? OR is there a stock that would suit him better?

    First batch Questions?

    Yeah thats what I did....but the one I make a t 2.800 is fine. Then the next one is way over or under. The way you put it I thought there was some kinda measurement that should add up to make 2.800 on the seater die.
