    Gaithersburg Area LR Shooting Ranges

    Peacemaker is the closest range, but they recently more than doubled the price of a memberahip (went from $200 yearly to $480), and they long range ranges aren't open on most weekends, usually only on Wednesdays. I've let my membership lapse and at this point probably won't re-new it.

    Barrel Nut Systems for R700

    Just put a new barrel on a friend's Rem 700 action this weekend. I've done multiple Rem 700 clones, and savage actions but never an actual Rem 700. And, I'll say. How in the hell do you keep the recoil lug from slipping....! I always liked the pinned recoil lugs, but damn, it took half a dozen...

    Maggie’s Weed Eater Recommendation

    The 80v Kobalt tools have been great. I have the trimmer, pole saw, chain saw, and leaf blower. More than enough power for everything I need. Made the decision to go battery on all my small engines as the yearly maintenance was just added up to too much each year.

    Thunder Valley precision

    That's quite a stretch for my 6.5x47. But, it'd be fun to try a mile with it. Once I get my 300 RUM load nailed down, that would be an awesome place to stretch it's legs.

    50 Bmg Blow up....

    The blown up rifle video is hard to watch. Glad the guy lived to tell the story. That was an awful, rambling response from the manufacturer.... That their post action analysis is blowing up another gun to record and see how it detonates, and determine what level of pressure will cause a...

    Housing shortage.

    I agree, the quality of buyer's driving home prices right now is completely different than 12 years ago. It's not uncommon for homes over 500K in my area to be sold for 20% over list, with the buyer putting down north of 50% cash. And, multiple competitive offers with those stats on the same...

    Housing shortage.

    Rents are going through the roof in our area too. New 1800sq ft "luxury" condo's are being listed for sale for $729k less than 20 min from me. That's more than I paid for my 5BR house 18 months ago.

    Housing shortage.

    "Rural" Northern VA here. Seen homes go for 20% above asking price, dozens of offers, many significant cash down payments or even all cash. All inspection/appraisals waived. We own 3 rentals , and planned on holding them long term. But, they've appreciated something like $400K combined just in...

    MK vs LRI follower for ARC mags

    Resurrecting a bit of an old thread. But, I've run ARC mags for parts of 3 season now. Have probably 3000 rounds of mostly 6.5x47L through 3 mags. Up until 3 matches ago, I never had an issue. Ran them in practice, and in matches. In dirt, dust, mud, wind, crazy rain including the epic rainstorm...

    Seeking Havok PH2 vs Bergara HMR Pro

    What's the intended purpose? Competition, hunting, LR plinking? The PH2 excels as a long range hunting rifle. Seekins makes great quality guns, and the havak is no exception, amd it isn't super heavy. My dad has one, and I definitely want one. It's also comfortable to shoot at the range just...

    Tenacity or Nucleus

    +1 for a Nuke. My gen1 has been through some dirty matches, always functioned flawlessly. original 16lb spring in it as well. The Barloc in addition to the Nuke made installing the barrel and setting headspace the easiest of any action I've used.

    Best action and barrel system for changing yourself.

    ARC Nucleus with Barloc has been very easy to change barrels. I plan on putting barlocs on all my savage prefit actions.
