    Precision Rifle Gear The Cole Tac Koozie

    No, it’s not a catalog item, but when I realized my Cole Tac suppressor cover would make a nifty Red Bull koozie, I had them sew one up without the heat shield to fit the 8oz can dimensions. I had wanted to make a koozie for the 8oz cans since I first got addicted to these darned things years...

    Precision Rifle Gear Budget Tripod review.

    I wanted to do a quick review on a budget tripod option I’ve been playing with. I picked up this Fanue ST65 tripod for around $250 on Amazon. Of course it’s made in China. Then again so is the device you’re likely reading this on. Along with half the items in your home. This company at least...

    Solus in a KRG Whiskey 3 clearance

    Just thought I’d offer a public service announcement on a small clearance issue with a Solus action in a Whiskey 3. And I suppose other KRGs. I used a Triggertech Special in this build and went to check safety function and realized it was barely engaging. Turns out the safety arm runs into the...

    Exciting new muzzle brake.

    Browsing eBay for a specific brake today and noticed this amazing new bit of kit. Check out those ports. When your gun is shooting too soft and you need just a little bit more recoil, this little gem fills the bill. Maybe it’s a muzzle “break”.

    Optics WTB Bushnell Match Pro ED

    I’ve just built a new 6arc plonking rifle and thought I’d use one of these but all I can find in the wild are MOA scopes. If anyone has a clean Mil Match Pro ED I could use it. Cheers, LZ

    Accessories WTB 6 Dasher Go/No Go gauges

    As stated. Origin action a proof barrel going together that are likely good to go and I’ve got other ways of checking but it’s nice to have something in steel to reference. A go gauge alone would be fine. If someone out there stopped shooting Dasher and has some lying around, I can take them...

    Firearms SCAMMER alert. MOzak

    A fellow with the user name Sparky1985 is selling some dasher does and I responded on his thread. I got a response from an apparent Scammer, (user name MOzak) who had zero history and joined only weeks ago. I just thought I’d missed noticing the zero feedback for the seller so I didn’t send...

    Firearms Feinwerkbau 300s .177 Target Air Rifle

    This is the gun that started it all for me in 1986 in ROTC. I learned 3 Position shooting with this rifle in high school. Those were the days. These were an Olympic grade pellet rifle in the early 80s and will punch a single hole at 20 meters. Out of nostalgia, I purchased this one when I taught...

    6 Dasher Bushing size

    Building my first 6 dasher. I’ve been off the loading bench for 4 years and I’m out of the loop. Does anyone have any bushing size recommendations. My plan is to use Peterson Brass, (Lapua is not out of the question either though) and since I have 1000 108 Berger hybrid target lying around, and...

    Auto Trickler cover idea

    Don’t know if anyone has come up with this one or passed it on but I was looking at some spare scope caps lying on the bench while loading a few days ago and realized this Butler Creek fit my Auto Trickler perfectly. Can’t recall the size but the flip up cap is great if you’re loading over a...

    SOLD Sinclair F-Class Bipod

    I’ve got a Seb Mini now so I’m letting go of my Sinclair F-Class Bipod with Elevation Knob. This one comes with the standard setup for a sling stud as well as a Picatinny adapter. It’s in really nice condition with only a small amount of wear on the sled feet. New $289 + $55 for adapter...

    I’ve seen the light.

    For all of you who have been doing ladder tests and seating depth tests, you might be doing it all wrong. Watched a video this morning that was a revelation. I present the “spitball method” to revolutionize your reloading practices. The first 5 minutes of this video are gold.

    Hornady ELDM availability

    So all of the usual suspects are completely out of 6mm 108 ELDMs. I’ve switched to Berger 108 BT Target but I’m still working on a new load. l’ve got a match coming up and I’m a bit short on the ELDMs I’ve shot all year. Anyone know if someone who doesn’t pop up on the first pages of a Google...

    Amateur mistake with new Lapua Brass

    So I’ve mentioned here that I’m fairly new to reloading precision rifle rounds. I’m about a year into this now and while I’m settled on some best practices with the 6Creed Peterson brass I was using, I screwed up with a new batch of Lapua and want to get some opinions on just how bad this...

    New 6mm barrel time. School me.

    Alright, I’m about to hit 1000 rounds on a factory Bergara 6mm Creed premier pro. Which means it’s time to start thinking about a new barrel. I have a fresh Brux waiting in the safe. My primary use for the gun is banging plates, punching paper and shooting our friendly 600yd mid range matches...

    Athlon Warranty/exchange question.

    So I have an Athlon Argos BTR gen 2 I picked up as a knock around scope for my 22. I’ve since built a nice little 6ARC and moved it over to that platform. I got home from the range weekend and noticed an oil drop on an internal lens near the center of the reticle. Obviously it’s headed back...

    6mm ARC Short stroking

    I just built a 6mm ARC gas gun around an OdinWorks 18” barrel. It uses a rifle plus 2” gas system. This is built on an Aero Upper/Lower with Aero BCG. Carbine 3oz buffer and carbine spring. Gun is short stroking with the gas block fully open. Failure to strip a second round and failure to lock...

    Parallax / Focus Disconnect on Athlon Ares

    So first I’ll admit I have limited experience using optics with parallax adjustment. This is my first year shooting with them. I’ve also never shot with any upper tier scopes. So my experience is limited to two scopes. With that being said I have an observation and I’m wondering if it’s a...

    Bedding KRG Whiskey 3?

    As the title says, does anyone bother with bedding their Whiskey 3 chassis? I did a quick mount up today of a Bergara Premier barreled action and frankly I’d like to see a more complete mating. But I’m nit picky about this stuff. So has anyone bothered and have you seen any change in...
