    RMR Packaging

    First post in a long time, but I’m getting into handguns and ordered an RMR to mount on a Walther PDP. It came yesterday in a sturdy looking plastic case, but when I opened it up it was as is shown in the photos below. This is my first Trijicon red dot, so I’m not familiar with their...

    Why only one dimple for gas block alignment?

    I just received a 10.5” .223 Wylde barrel from Craddock Precision along with their gas block and gas tube. Looking at it I noticed that there is only one dimple machined opposite the gas port for gas block alignment. Curious, I pulled the gas block from a PSA upper that I bought already...

    Is it worth doing an AI with the .223?

    So, I’ve got a barreled action sitting in the corner because I cannibalized the chassis, trigger and scope to put together my Vudoo about a year and a half ago. The barrel is a 26” Bartlein M24 contour in 8 twist, and it’s chambered in .223 Rem. I also have a Defiance Deviant action with both...

    Craddock Precision has 10.5” .223 Barrels in Stock

    Putting this out there as there have been recent threads regarding the scarcity of 10.5-12” .223 barrels. I emailed Craddock last week asking when they would have their 10.5” barrels in stock again, and they became available today. I grabbed one and was told they they only have 10 available...

    Pistol vs.SBR - Accidental Build Risk

    While reading another thread on building an AR pistol, comments were made about SBRs, and it got me wondering if there is the potential to inadvertently build a weapon that classifies as an SBR when a pistol was the intent. I looked it up and found information defining an SBR as being shorter...

    Quality Factory 6.5 Creedmoor Ammo

    My buddy just bought a Savage in 6.5 Creedmoor, and is looking for ammo capable of going out to 1200 yards accurately. Berger makes match ammo with a 140 grain hybrid projectile that looks very appealing. He is interested in Lapua brass for reloading, and I don’t know what brass is used for...

    I think that I want an 11.5” AR pistol

    So, I have been shooting precision rifle rigs for the last several years and feel like I want to do some simple, practical shooting to break the monotony. I have a 16” barreled upper receiver for my AR, but I think that I want something more compact and maneuverable. I have a 9” CMMG .22 lr...

    Rifle Scopes S&B on sale at Scopelist.com

    In case anyone is interested, they have a S&B PMII 5-25 with the Tremor3 reticle on sale at scopelist.com for $2,799. If I hadn’t bought one with the P4LF reticle a month ago I’d be all over this. Unfortunately, I blew my wad on that one lol. Hopefully this is something that someone here is...

    Rifle Scopes Anybody have a USO LR17 in a cantilever mount? AR application.

    I recently got a new scope for my bolt rifle which means I can move the previous scope (USO LR17) to my AR. The problem is that I’m having a tough time finding a cantilever mount that will accommodate the huge elevation/windage/parallax housing on this scope. Measuring the distance between...

    Is a scope mount engaging the handguard picatinny rail a bad idea?

    I recently got a new scope for my bolt gun, which means that I now have a USO LR17 available to mount on my AR. The USO was previously mounted to my bolt gun with Seekins rings. I wanted to find a cantilever one piece mount for the AR, but I don’t see anything with spacing wide enough to...

    Rifle Scopes Any discount codes for ARC?

    I’ve decided to go with some ARC rings for the new S&B. Just wondering if there are any promo codes for Hide members.

    Rifle Scopes Which S&B Reticle?

    Europtic has S&B PMIIs on sale at a very attractive price. I think that I’ll grab one. However, I’m not sure which of the two reticles available would suite me better. I don’t shoot PRS, although I’d like to at some point. Right now I just bang steel out to 1000. Will I someday need to...

    Which upper receiver for a precision build?

    I’m thinking about putting together a precision upper for my AR in .223, and I’m wondering which upper receiver is the better choice for the build. Right now I’m looking at the Vltor upper and the Seekins IRMT-3 upper. Is there a consensus on which is better for a precision application? I...

    Range Report Is the 6X47 Lapua Easy to Load?

    I’m interested in having a rifle built in 6X47 Lapua for shooting steel out to 1200, and possibly PRS style shooting at some point. I mentioned this intent to a buddy of mine who shoots PRS and NRL, and he commented that he’s been told that it can be finicky to load. Has anyone here loaded for...

    Rifle Scopes S&B 5-25 PMII Still a Good Choice?

    I’m in the market for a scope with a 25X top end, and am having a hard time deciding what to get. I have two USO LR17s, which I like a lot, but I am desiring a little more magnification on the top end for paper punching and load development. I don’t compete in Precision rifle, but I do enjoy...

    Chassis for CZ 455

    I have a CZ 455 that I’ve owned since about 2007. It sits in its original wood stock, which is extremely nice wood btw. However, I’d like to build a PRS style rig for my son to use. I have a Vudoo and he really digs it. I’d like to build him something that he thinks is equally as cool. I...

    Which Vudoo rail MOA will allow you to shoot targets from 25 to 300 yards? The scope being used has 20 MRADs of adjustment. Thanks in advance for the replies.

    Is it dangerous to shoot 3/8" steel plates with a 22 RF?

    I bought my wife a Walther P22 to learn how to operate a handgun for self protection in the event that I'm not home. I have an 8" plate for my 308 that is 3/8" thick AR500 steel. I was thinking about using it for practice with this handgun, but I am wondering if it could be dangerous at...

    Why not shoot cheap ammo for practice?

    I've taken my Vudoo V-22 out 3 times now to shoot targets in the desert. The first time out was to zero the scope and plink at relatively large plates at 50 yards. The last 2 times out have been with my wife to shoot at a KYL rack whose plates range in size from 2' - 1/4' in 1/4' increments...

    My V-22 is in!

    I picked up my barreled action from the FFL today, and spent my lunch installing the trigger, scope and mounting it to its chassis. Specs: Bartlein Barrel - MTU Contour @ 20", no coating Jewel Trigger XLR Element chassis with the folding tactical light stock USO LR-17 Scope w/Christmas...
