    Long Rifles Inc communication "must read"

    I had an action barreled by them and a buddy did as well. Both back in under a week and both are hammers. Chad is a no nonsense kind of guy and sometimes gets some heat for speaking his mind. I'd have no problems recommending LRI to anyone.

    Hunting & Fishing How do you get gobblers in ?

    I'm a big fan of hunting without decoys. They've hurt me more than they've helped over the years. I've had my best success when you place the shooter 30 or 40 yards ahea of the guy doing the calling. I killed a big coyote last week in that set up. He was circling, trying to get down wind of...

    6.5x47L vs 6.5 Creedmoor

    I sent them a fired and sized case. I can't remember the exact turnaround time but it wasn't long at all. Really nice folks at Lee.

    6.5x47L vs 6.5 Creedmoor

    I have a Lee collet die for my 47. If you call Lee they will make one for you.

    6.5x47L vs 6.5 Creedmoor

    I have both. The x47 seems to be more efficient in my two examples. I can get the same speed out of my x47 with a full grain less of powder.

    Rifle Scopes Quigley Q520 ffp

    Can you imagine the fun we'd have if we still had the shout box? I miss that feature of the Hide. I'd log in just to catch up with guys in the shout box.

    Vector or impact. Opinion for 2 gun builds.

    I think you'll be pleased with it. I too enjoy variety and decided to give it a try based on all the positive praise it received here on the Hide. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting. In the end I liked my Deviants more and sold it and purchased another Deviant. That's the great thing...

    Photos My first bolt action - left hand .308 T3x Tikka with Athlon Ares ETR

    I would invest in some better rings. Vertical split rings are known to have issues. Lots of info on this site about it. Otherwise it's a nice setup.

    Area 419-Whats going on

    They were at the NRA show. They were also having issues with their website crashing because of increased traffic which prompted hundreds of emails being sent their way.

    Suppressors First suppressor

    For your first suppressor that is going to see dual use on a bolt gun and a gas gun I'd get a SiCo Omega. I'm saying this as someone who DOES NOT own one. I went with a Dead Air Sandman. My buddy bought the Omega. We both use them on our 6.5 CM and AR's and 300BLK. There is no noticeable...

    Vector or impact. Opinion for 2 gun builds.

    I guess I'm the odd man out. I didn't like my Impact as much as my Deviants. It's not nearly as smooth as my two nitrided Deviants. Reliability was a wash between the two. It does have two anti bind rails instead of one. I wouldn't fault anyone for getting one as long as they realize it's...

    Foundation Stocks

    That's one of the nicest ones i've seen. Did you specify what you wanted or was it luck of the draw?

    Rifle Scopes New high power Nightforce NX8?

    If the resolution is anywhere closed to the 7-35, I will own many of the 4-32's. My guess is at the price point vs features, they had to compromise somewhere and the glass is a likely place to start.

    If you look beyond the 1000 yard targets you can see Tom's box blind. He's killed some big deer on that property. I'm envious.

    Hunting & Fishing Best unscented deodorant, soap?

    The alternative is to wash your clothes in commercial detergent that is harsh on merino wool and most times has brighteners. Even if it's unscented. There's no fooling an animals nose. I think we all understand that. But I've invested thousands in hunting clothes and I wash them often. I...

    Defiance DLC bolt lugs

    DLC flakes off. Completely normal. Also the reason I buy nitrided actions instead of DLC. Before anyone even starts I realize that Nitriding can alter the heat treatment of the metal. I buy my nitrided actions from the manufacturer. I don't have them done aftermarket.

    Movie Theater Frontier on Netflix

    It wouldn't be half bad if Jason Mamoa wasn't in it. He's a terrible actor....at best.

    Masterpiece Arms- Atrocious QC, Poor Customer Service. (Vids and Pic)

    The problem with this hobby is that companies and products are held in a cult-like regard that anything that is said that isn't positive gets attacked by members here. I too had a very bad experience with at builder and designer of the most popular action being produced right now. I didn't...

    Rifle Scopes NF 5-25 and 7-35 glass

    I own both. If I could sell the 5-25 and not take a big hit I would and use the money to get another 7-35.
