    What am I doing wrong?

    Gathering data on my 18" AR. 223 wylde, Leupold 3.5-10, Frontier 75gr. ammunition. Everything's great at 100, 200, 300, and 400. Even turned in a 2.5 inch 3 shot group at 400. However, at 500, the wheels fall off. The group opens up to 7 or 8 inches and is offset about 1.5moa to the...

    What mount / rings?

    What mounts are you all using on large frames? Is anyone using just rings? Seems like all the photos I see are using a mount and not rings. Specifically looking for options that are not cantilevered. God bless America

    155's in a 308 gas gun

    I ran across some rounds I'd loaded with IMR 4895 and Lapua scenar 155's and they shot incredibly flat - like 8 mils to 900 yards flat out of an 18" bbl AR. Has anyone else done this? Did this wear your barrel out faster than the standard 168/175 loaded like factory? I did not see any...

    Replacement bolt and firing pin for LaRue large frame

    Gents, I'd lie to replace my large frame OBR bolt with a HP bolt and reduced diameter firing pin. LaRue offers this, but you have to buy their spare parts kit for 350 ish and change and I'd really just like a new bolt and firing pin. Reading on JP's website I don't think theirs will work with...

    Recommend a good book to learn chess

    All, I've got two kids who love this game. Please recommend a book that covers the basics and some basic strategies. White belt level chess is the aim, for now. If not a book, then a link. Obviously I can google basic chess, but the hide has never steered me wrong so I am asking the...

    One Stop shop

    Gents, I asked a similar question a few years back. Back then BA and Rainier were still loved by all of us, and Rainier is along the lines of what I'm seeking which is a one stop shop for all (most) things AR related. Is there a place that'll sell you an awesome BCG, well-fitted receiver set...

    Large Frame class

    Gents, I'm considering a 6.5 CM build after looking at Big Jake's creations. I've looked here for the pros and cons of the DPMS vs. Armalite patterns and come up short. I'd go off the shelf, but I'm picky. I currently shoot an 18" OBR, but I don't like the hand guard, the integral 20 moa...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Warranty Service

    Has anyone ever needed Bushnell warranty support? I have an LRHSi that the mag ring won't spin. I called Bushnell and they advised a return label would be waiting in my e-mail. No dice. Going through the warranty links on the website generates another warranty e-mail with a link to somewhere...

    Rifle Scopes Replacement for the Bushnell 3-12 LSRTi

    Gents, Who makes something comparable to the scope in the title, since Bushnell no longer does? Gotta be illuminated with a tree reticle and can't be made in China. God bless America

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 48: who's carrying with an RMRcc?

    All, I've come across a smoking deal on a Glock 48. And an equally smoking deal on the RMR cc. Anyone on here running this combo or a 43x with RMRcc? Hard? How are the subcompacts holding up over reps like the 19's, etc? Any issues mounting? Seems like @E.Bryant had some advice WRT...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns RMR or SRO for duty sidearm?

    Duty = deputy sheriff. Which one do you like and why? Holster is a Safariland ALS. On a question not related to the poll, have you preferred to mill an existing slide specifically for your RDS or to purchase one already milled and use an adapter plate? Who do you recommend in either case...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns OWB holster recos

    Gents, Looking for your recommendations for two holsters. 1) OWB for 5" M and P with an SRO. MUST ride close to the body. Worn between 230 and 330. Concealability a bonus but not important. Retention a bonus but not a deal breaker. Currently looking at the T1C Mora. 2) OWB for duty...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Red Dot Questions

    All, Two questions: 1. I am in the process of transitioning (no jokes) and what I've been doing for drills so far is one shot from the low ready from 20 yards. I've set a 1.5 second par time. I've got about 150 rounds down the pipe of my new PC M and P this way. What other drills are you...

    M & P 2.0. Yes or no

    Had an opportunity to try the M & P 2.0 last week. Really liked the ergonomics and the trigger. Well, the reset seemed a little weak, but 15 rounds is hardly an informed opinion. I thought I'd ask this group what you all have experienced on this model and if any of you carry this on duty or...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Go to bullet for self defense

    Looking for suggestions for self defense bullets. I load for 9mm, 40 SW, and .357 magnum. Something along the lines of gold dots or what Hornady loads in critical duty. Only interested in the projectile, not loaded ammunition. Recommended powders would be nice, too, especially for the .357...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Bullet trap / target backstop

    I would like to build a bullet trap used primarily for 22LR, 9mm, and cast bullets from a .357 mag. Has anyone done this, and what's the minimum thickness of steel for handguns? 7.62 X 39 or 30-30 type rifles? .223? Expecting to need AR-500 steel for this. I've read a thread that I can't...

    Trimming when loading on a Dillon 550

    Gents, All of my previous reloading - 308, 30-06, 300WM, and .357 has been done on a single stage. I've recently taken the plunge on a 550 thanks to the advice on this site and others, and was wondering where in the process those of you who load 223 on a 550 are trimming your brass. Do you...

    Thermal for poors

    Gents, I'm looking at a pulsar thermion (the 3-13 X model) and the pulsar core thermal scopes. There's about a $400 difference between the two and my question is for those who have handled both, is the thermion that much better? Gut says yes, but I've done well to ask the obvious on this...

    Considerations on a new build

    Gents, Thanks in advance for your replies. Currently shooting a RRA 3 gun model that I picked up in 2014. Great, but heavy rifle. It holds a minute and a half out to 700 with Frontier 75 gr and Freedom munitions 77gr. Currently running a leupold Mk4 LRT in 3.5 to 10 with a TS 32 MOA...
