  3. Anchor Zero Six

    Serious discussion about gun control that would actually work.

    Been an heated few days in the Bear Pit. Read posts the last few days ranging from brilliant to moronic, I may have been guilty of one or the other or both depending on point of view. Would like to suggest we keep things civil and apply detached logic to a conversation of what if anything...

    Rifle slings for tripod use gimmick or legit?

    As I experiment more with tripods for shooting I see many people advocating tying into the sling most commonly with a sling attached to a caribiner to a riggers belt. So outside of the world of YouTube how many people are running this type of sling? 2nd question do any of these slings such as...

    Rifle Scopes RANT This is HARD!!

    When I got into precision rifles around 12 yrs ago life was simple and choosing an optic was too as the field was very small. Loopy, USO,NF, SB that was it! Sure there were these unicorns called Hensdolt but by the time you found a dealer they were no longer a dealer and nobody could afford them...

    Rifle Scopes Gen 2 PST vs Gen 1 Razor HD

    Are there enough G2 PST's in the wild to make a fair and direct comparison between the two. Looking at 20x and 25x models specificly for 6.5 cm use. Price isnt a factor in this case. Reticles, Tracking, Eybox, Knobs etc are what Im primarily looking for info on. I could be wrong but I...

    6.5 Long Action options?

    What are the available options for standard bolt face long action 6.5? All I really found was 6.5-06 which seems simple to form from 30-06. Wondering if there are others preferably with factory brass available. Have an old model 70 I was considering building into something.

    Unertl Scope Base Chart

    Found this gem of info on an old laptop of mine I was cleaning up before tossing. Figured it might be useful info in this section. All it is is a copy of the base chart from Unertl that specifies what base is used for rifles of the period.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite Tactical line glass ranking?

    Looking at the Bushnell Elite Tactical line. Is there a stack ranking of glass quality or are they all about the same? Reading old threads the XRS seems to be a bit better than DMR but it was an old post and the scope didnt look like current 4-30. Not sure if that info is still current or not...

    Tripod hack (Improve stiffness)

    So I had a theory and decided to give it a try and I'm happy to say I think I'm onto something. long story short I knew I was giving up some stability by moving from a Feisol 3472 to the 3342 but I wanted a less bulky tripod. I know the flex is due to the small leg diameter on the lower...

    Anybody on here who is NOT an AARP member take up the snowbird life?

    Financially and logistically there is really no reason why I cant quit my job buy an RV and travel with the wife and kids (3yr old and 9 mo old) for 2-3 years until the boys are at an age where they need more social interactions. I'm 42 and retired military so there would be money coming in...

    What are you guys running for Atlas feet?

    Been looking at the various accessory feet for my Atlas PSR bipod. Significant amount of choices out there now. Wondering what you guys are using and pros/cons. Mostly shoot prone in desert terrain so kind of a mix of loose sand rocks and hardpack. I think the ones that caught my eye were...

    Today's dumb question brought to you by A06 (Steel plates and fire)

    Escaping this shithole state for a few weeks and going to visit family and friends in WA. Was really excited to go back to my dads property in central WA (high desert) and shoot steel out to 1K. He said we probably cant because of the fire hazard in Aug. FWIW his property also serves as the...

    USPS lost stock in trade what next?

    In 10+ years buying, selling and trading here on the Hide my luck ran out. Traded stocks with another member here and USPS I think lost the package that I sent. Was supposed to be delivered on the 20th and as of the 24th still not delivered or any tracking updates. I did insure it so thats a...

    Stock weight vs barrel profile (Manners)

    Picked up a new barreled action, 24" heavy palma in 6.5 creed on a tempest action. Pretty much my dream build but not sure about the stock choices. I am only looking at Manners stocks with mini chassis and realize it will be a while till the stock is made but not sure how to spec it out. My...

    Rifle Scopes Question out of plain curiosity...who currently has the USMC SSDS contract.

    Just getting back into shooting again but as I was listening to the Precision Rifle Media podcast episode with Tangent Theta it raised the question in my mind. With Premier no longer around who is supplying the Marines or did they get a sufficient quantity of SB and Premier scopes that its...

    Trusted smiths for Pre 64 Model 70?

    Some nice builds on here who are you guys using for your Model 70 work?

Planning on a McM Winchester Marksman or HTG, Medium Palma or Sendero barrel...
