    Gunsmithing Replacement stock for Stevens 200

    Re: Replacement stock for Stevens 200 You can get a Boyds laminated wood stock for much less than $200. It'd be a much better choice for bedding later on. Stockys carried them last time I checked.

    Bolt action VS AR receiver investment question?

    Re: Bolt action VS AR receiver investment question? Surgeon actions, hell no. Not even close. AR-10 receivers, absolutely not, a few companies are starting to make cheaper alternatives to the $400 DPMS ones and the ridiculously priced "customs". AR15 receivers, yes, but only short term...

    Rifle Scopes Upgrade to NF? If you were me type question.

    Re: Upgrade to NF? If you were me type question. Now having said that, my argument is with regards to the Mk4 line. The jury is still out on Leupolds newest attempts to blitz the ultra-premier segment of the market with their Mark 6 and Mark 8 scopes, which are of course priced way above the...

    Rifle Scopes Upgrade to NF? If you were me type question.

    Re: Upgrade to NF? If you were me type question. Looks like I'll be the first dissenting opinion here. I've also had several of each brand, and I'm a big Leupold fan. I've had over a dozen Leupolds and while everyone keeps saying that you're getting a slightly better product, the only...

    Truvelo 20x110mm Sniper Rifle

    Re: Truvelo 20x110mm Sniper Rifle Dumb idea, no one cares. Retardedly large system, poor caliber choice (hasn't Crane already passed over 20x110 HS?), intended market of what, 20 units? Over caliber anti-material rifles are already outdated to modern propelled munitions.

    Ammo shoot all over the place

    Re: Ammo shoot all over the place There's a lot more to a loaded cartridge than just the projectile design. What's the factory stated muzzle velocity of each load? Is the second target rotated from shooting or is the group horizontally skewed?

    Rifle of the future

    Re: Rifle of the future That trigger thing makes me wonder. No way to cancel the shot after the "set the trigger tracking point lock magical sillyness" is pulled but shot isn't lined up? Risky idea to make the gun fire itself whenever the scope "thinks" it's aligned. That's a lawsuit...

    Rifle Scopes Inverted reticles in Spotting Scopes??

    Re: Inverted reticles in Spotting Scopes?? Exactly, it's supposed to be used upside down. Useful for when the spotter is behind cover/concealment and doesn't want his head exposed above the scope body/objective lens. Stems from the design being based on typical non-combative use spotting...

    Gun Camera: GoPro or Midland XTC?

    Re: Gun Camera: GoPro or Midland XTC? I had one of the Burris gun cameras. While the video quality wasn't anywhere near as good as new stuff, the thing was the size of a large gun-mounted flashlight. No stupid straps or random jerry-rigged setups to your hat, the thing cinched to a...

    Re: Colt New Agent 1911 in .45 ACP Nice, I personally tried and didn't like the lack of sights. I would get a 3" Colt, but the Defender only comes in bright indiscreet LOOK AT ME stainless except for a limited Talo New Agent model which I can't find reasonably. So I'm stuck with a 3.5"...

    Gunsmithing Front Cocking Serrations on a Glock

    Re: Front Cocking Serrations on a Glock Changing weight does very much so affect cycling. Everyone gave the correct answer of tuning spring rates. Having said that, adding optics/top rails/slide mounted compensators/slide rackers/etc will mess with weight a lot more than lightening cuts and...
