    anyone using the Annie annealer, what are your thoughts

    First off, I have /Giraud setup.the Annie has been through major upgrades in the last two years that have significantly improved performance, including internal water cooling, as mentioned bu Kansas above. Garret Churchill, the principal of Fluxeon, was making the Annies himself until demand...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    Anybody shooting PMags: This got lost in the departure of the Hide from Scout. Just for grins, I had designed a single shot follower that I designed after seeing other guys making them out of PVC. I wanted to see if I could offer shooters a cheap and reliable option for single shot function...

    Sig 2000 should I be scarred

    One last thing - an actual picture, taken with my iPhone, of a cedar tree (the only object in the area that would give a return..color wheels and complementary colors) at 1262.5 yards, literally at nautical noon, taken last November. Just offered as a performance comparison, discussions of beam...

    Sig 2000 should I be scarred

    And that is the game - knowing what is reflective, what's not. and making the best estimate of what the actual range of the target. Short of spending $10(???) on military or surveying rangefinders. I don't know any other way. Optical range estimation has a larger margin of error due to...

    Sig 2000 should I be scarred

    Seriously...license plate, car, drive-in movie screen - that's the nature of these units, Yeah, good points, but this has turned into a rabbit trail from the original question: the originall post that started the thread seemed to indicate his unit was not performing as well as should be...

    Lefty, I'll change me in with others steering you away from moly. Lots of bad things happen with time, but the worst is a ring of moly that forms in the throat and cannot be removed; will ruin a barrel. If you want to try a coating, check out David Tubb's boron nitride "Final Finish" system...

    Best Day Pack

    Need to replace my Go/GetHome/Bugout/Bugin/SHTF bag, I've worn it out. It's a purpose made shoulder style bag. Could replace it with the same or go to a small pack, would like to hear recommendations from others. This is intended to carry a few things to sustain me for 24 hours at most as...

    Sig 2000 should I be scarred

    My Kilo gives solid returns on trees at nautical noon as far as 1400+ yards; licence plates/traffic signs 2200 yards. Scared/scarred? No, maybe concerned. The performance of your unit seems suboptimal, so I'd recommend returning it to Sig. I'm not seeing any massive group of user complaints...

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    The 6.5 is quite the darling now, but yeah, I still like the 308/7.62. Proven, available, relatively cheap. Not a bad choice at all.

    Great. Think I'll mosey on over and check out the 6.5 Creed offerings.

    HSM Ammo

    I agree on customer service, at least in terms of responsiveness to questions. I'm going to try a case of their 300 WinMag 208 AMax. While I prefer to handload, I like to have good factory ammo available as a backup. Factory 300 Win with ELR capable bullets is scarce, and HSM is one of the...

    HSM Ammo

    Thanks, Dylan - what made the 30-06 "not good"...just accuracy? Also, anyone used any of the 300 WinMag loads, esp 208 AMaxes?

    Strategies for a stuck barrel nut...

    If it's some consolation, I wrecked the nut on my RPR trying to swap out barrels. Bitch never moved, broke off two rows of teeth. Magpul wrench undamaged. Buddy of mine works in a black gun shop, says that this is common, especially Palmetto State Armory uppers. Best guess is some type of...

    Photos .338 Lapua Magnum vs. Bus Engine!

    Hellacool vid; props for putting an expensive piece of gear in harm's way. It does raise a really good question which I thought had been answered when the .357 Magnum was introduced and purported to be able to "shoot through an engine block". These guys ("FittyTactical") did a pretty good job...
