    10th Mountain Div Sniper folley

    Re: 10th Mountain Div Sniper folley IMHO, as wars wind down, our military forgets everything it learned in the war just fought and in all earlier wars as well. Deepest thanks to all who have served our country. Cheers, FH, 2Lt, USAFR (ret)

    Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle * The biggest problem might occur should y'all call him an as**ole...you might face a class action suit by a lot of as**oles for putting him in their class. Here's hoping you guys see your rifles or your money. FH

    Got the Funds, Now to Get the Rifle

    Re: Got the Funds, Now to Get the Rifle Actually, I've got a Rem 700 SPS-V in .308 Win, 26" barrel that I put in a B&C A5 stock and had it glass bedded. I'm using a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 scope in Leupy STD rings and bases now that I had on another Rem 700. Once I get a feel for what I want to...

    Got the Funds, Now to Get the Rifle

    Re: Got the Funds, Now to Get the Rifle I had read in one thread here that they were out of the .260s but it's worth checking. I have handled the 20" in .308...wonderful rifles. Thanks, FH

    Got the Funds, Now to Get the Rifle

    Re: Got the Funds, Now to Get the Rifle Guys, thanks for the replies. First, the $3,300 is the dough I got from stuff I don't use...I'd say the budget for the rifle is $3,500. As to glass, I've got a nice Leupy VX3 3.5-10x40 that I use on my M1A when I want optics that I can use for a...

    Got the Funds, Now to Get the Rifle

    Between the sale of a little used SOCOM16 and today's sale of a couple of long-unused musical instruments, I've converted $3,300 worth of stuff into usable funds for the next rifle. I've been contemplating: . a Tikka T3 Sporter in 6.5x55 or .260 Rem . a FNH SPR A5M in .308 . a Sako TRG-22 in...

    Thoughts in re 6.5x55 SE vs. .260 Rem

    I'm seriously considering getting a Tikka T3 Sporter in either 6.5x55 SE or .260 Rem. I have some experience with the 6.5x 55 Swedish in a Ruger No. 1A that is one of my two favorite deer rifles. I realize that they are near ballistic twins and that I can load the Swede as hot as the .260 given...

    Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle * If suit is to be filed in UT (likely) local counsel is easy to find and get for counsel in various plaintiff's (and plaintiffs') states. Sounds like this clown (George Liechty), did interstate business via interstate wire (i.e., the...

    Re: I'm Thinking Sako TRG 22, FNH SPR A5 or... Thanks for the comments guys. You're right, of course, it's only a 3-shot group and it's only one, although this rifle has been a consistent 0.67 MOA rifle to date out to 200 yards. You're also correct that I don't know and haven't tried rain...

    I'm Thinking Sako TRG 22, FNH SPR A5 or...

    and I go to the range yesterday to practice with my .30-06 Sprg hunting rifles. I decided to start with my Savage 116 FHSAK and my standard .30-06 match load of 47.0 gr of IMR 4895, CCI BR2 primers, SMK 168 gr and, in this case, R-P 2x fired brass. The target below from 100 yards at the local...

    Re: *Announcing the 2009 Sniper's Hide Build Rifle * Aztek Arms is/was uninvolved as it did not exist at the times of the original group build transactions. Indeed, since it has been stated that G. Liechty had no valid business license at the time of the transactions, it would seem that he...

    My Rem700 .308 build plan. Any input welcome

    Re: My Rem700 .308 build plan. Any input welcome This sounds like a good plan. I'm following a similar course. I picked up the SPS Varmint in .308 and mounted a Zeiss Conquest that I took off another rifle on Leupy STD rings & bases. I added the B&C medalist A5 stock and had a gunsmith friend...

    Which Remington 700 in 308?

    Re: Which Remington 700 in 308? I bought the SPS-V last year and put a Bell & Carlson A5 stock on it and glass-bedded it. At the moment, it is a consistent 0.5"-0.6" shooter at 100 yards. There's a 1,000 yard range I belong to about an hour from where I live...for when the snow melts. By...
