    Unimpressed with new stuff at the range

    So with hunting season around the corner I reached into the safe and pulled out my pre-39 model 70 that belonged to my grandfather and wandered to the range. Simple rig, original walnut stock, steel butt plate, original dog bone barrel with original irons and front sight hood, bedded, 6X scope...

    6.5 upper for DPMS

    I'm mulling over getting an upper in 6.5 Creedmore for a DPMS (yes, AR-10 style, not trying to hang it on a 15). Recommendations for an upper that works well?

    Goodbye to a suck ass year

    Here's to the end of a shitstorm of a year. A little good but mostly bad. A few thoughts I've mulled over. 1. To my last long time friend who passed. Life ain't the same buddy.

Well, there is another consideration, will the company be around ten or twenty years from now (which is about as far...

    Recommend an adjustable gas block for a 16" DPMS .308

    New Hornady .416 match 450 gr bullet...

    and since I have a .416 Rigby gathering dust most the time I was wondering if anyone had gotten ahold of any yet and if so what would make for a decent load. Might have to invest in a load brake for that particular rifle though, already bad enough with 400 gr bullets.

    Looking for a precision gunsmith within a half days drive or less or so from Bay City (70 miles SW of Houston). Has to be willing to work with me on barrel/component choice. I happen to like Lothar-Walther barrels and I've had one nationally known benchrest smith refuse to chamber one. Don't...

    Looking for ranges around Bay City (SW of Houston)

    It looks as if I'll be spending a LOT of time out around Bay City, Texas this year and having weekends off pretty much. So any 500+ yard ranges within 150 miles? Any 1,000 yard ranges in the area?
