    AR10 Question

    So finally got my Stag AR10 in 6.5cm. Gun shoots amazingly well, like I didn't think a factory AR10 would ever shoot that well. The thing seems to be hard on brass. Any spent brass has a big scratch down the side of it. Also if i eject the shell with out firing it, the scratch goes down the...

    Rifle Scopes Why most of us have MIL scopes but accuracy is expressed in MOA?

    hahahhahaha, this is funny. cause I argue this exact point to everyone i see with a mil scope. I understand mils but for me MOA is easier. So I give people shit about having a mil scope and ask how accurate their rifle is. then I ask how accurate it is in mils and laugh at the puzzle look on...

    Ruger Long Range Target Rifle

    I'm betting the accuracy on these is really good. I purchased a ruger hawkeye 6.5cm a few months ago. It is a light weight barrel but the thing is a tack driver. Was very surprised how accurate it shot for a factory hunting rifle. I'm a very big fan of the M77 action as i have several, and Ruger...

    Rangefinders in the Cold

    I tested the 2200 out again this morning. The unit sat in my house all night to make sure it was warm. Open my pickup window and try to range cattle. It was bright and sunny out and about 20 degrees this morning. I couldn't range cows past 500 yards. Very disappointing as if i can't range a cow...

    Lefty beginner help...Remington Varmint vs Tikka T3x Varmint Stainless

    I'm right handed and shoot left handed as well. I always shot right hand rifles, and while you get by with them a left handed gun is much better. Now i try and only buy left hand guns. Does Tikka even offer a stainless left hand gun? if so i would be interested, but in all my searching the only...

    Rangefinders in the Cold

    Anyone know or test the Vortex Fury's out in cold weather? I was looking at getting range finding bino's, and these seemed real attractive. I thought for pure range-finding ability the kilo2200 would be better. If the vortex fury's work in the cold then I'm likely to go that route.

    Rangefinders in the Cold

    I was thinking the 2200 and the 2400 were essentially the same lazer but the 2400 simply had the ballistics program in it... Guess i'm wrong from the reports here. Seems the 2400 works for hunting but both the 2000/2200 are for warm weather only.. that is very disappointing to hear, considering...

    Rangefinders in the Cold

    Does cold weather make for difficult conditions on a rangefinder? Reason i ask is I had a sig kilo 2000, and could never get it to range very far in the cold. However in warm weather it did great. Got a kilo2200 and same thing, can't range animals out very far in the cold. I tried keeping the...

    Ruger M77 Barrel Nut?

    Thought i would post an update for anyone interested. First off I would highly recommend McGowen Barrel to anyone looking for a new barrel, especially one for a M77. I called numerous places looking for a barrel and they were the only one interested or cared enough to help me. I talked with Dan...

    Rangefinder Binos, which ones?

    I have started looking around at getting a set of rangefinder binos since I lost my sig kilo 2000, and I need a better set of binoculars. I was looking at the Nikon Laserforce and the Vortex Fury. Has anyone compared these two? Price is similar, wondering how the ranging ability would be on...

    Rifle Scopes Ares BTR vs Helos BTR

    No the Ares has a zero stop you can set, which is a really nice solid stop. They are sending shims with the Argos scopes to install under the turret cap for a cheap zero stop.

    Rifle Scopes Ares BTR vs Helos BTR

    A little update. I was playing with the Argos more tonight, and figured out the sloppiness of the turrets and why they looked half a tick off. When I took the top off i must have put it on half a click off and didn't tighten it all the way. Once I installed the cap correctly the tick marks...

    Rifle Scopes Ares BTR vs Helos BTR

    i was actually out testing between the Athlon Argos, Helos, and Ares earlier today. I was in the same boat and wanted to see which would be best for me, so I ordered all 3. I'd like to state that this is my opinion and I think scopes are more of a personal preference. If i have to look back and...

    6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5 PRC in Long Action?

    I have thought about the 6.5x284 or the 6.5-06 however i like the fact that 6.5prc will have factory ammo offered by Hornady, that is affordable. the 6.5-284 I have never seen under $2/round. Also the 6.5-06 dies were hard to find last time I looked. What would the muzzle velocity be of the...

    6.5 Creedmoor or 6.5 PRC in Long Action?

    I currently have a 30-06 that I love and has been my go to hunting rifle, but the barrel is about shot out and accuracy has decreased. I have been thinking about putting a 6.5cm barrel on, but am unsure how well this will work since it is a long action. My big question is will running 6.5cm in...

    Left Hand Remingotn 700 Long Action Stocks?

    I have a Remington 700 long action that is left handed. I am looking into putting a barrel on it, along with a good stock to make this my long range target/hunting rifle. However, I am having problems finding stocks that will work. Was looking for fiberglass with aluminum block to keep cost...

    6.5 prc

    Would there be an issue with feeding this 6.5 PRC from a factory Remington 700 long action magazine? I have a long action magnum that needs a barrel, and was thinking about trying this 6.5 PRC. But i'm not sure if this short action magnum cartridge would work very well with long action magazine...

    Buffer and Spring Recommendations For .308 AR

    Has anyone used these adjustable gas tubes? seems like a really good idea if you want to keep your gas block under your rail. Im wondering how the durability and functionality is compared to a adjustable gas block.

    AR-10 Questions

    That is a very good and informative video. I will mostly use the gun for long range shooting and hunting. If i end up going with a silence capture spring i will most likely try out the heavy version, and tune the gas system accordingly as this seems like it would benefit more and allow me to...

    AR-10 Questions

    I finally pulled the trigger on a Stag AR-10 6.5cm lefty with 24" barrel. I was wondering what a few things I could do to get the most accuracy. I plan on installing an adjustable gas block since I will be running suppressed. I see a lot of people recommend the Tubbs flat wire buffer spring...
