    F T/R Competition Good Time With F Class Guys

    I went shooting with some F Class guys yesterday morning. I really felt like a dork showing up with my Rem 700 XCR Tactical 308 compared to their ridiculously cool customs. I couldn't believe how friendly they all were. They gave me tons of tips and were just generally happy to see me excited...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold MK4 Opinion

    I know a lot of you guys prefer USO and Nightforce over Leupold Mk4's. But in your opinion, since USO and Nightforce are around $2,000 (which is way out of my price range), is the Mk4 pretty much the best scope you can get for about $1,000? I'm looking for a scope that can handle some rough...

    Flash Hider / Muzzle Brake

    So, I know they are for re-directing exiting gasses for recoil reduction and sometimes for barrel control on full auto. They also minimize the muzzle flash that can sometimes be seen from a long distance. My question is, does a Flash Hider or a Muzzle Brake effect the bullet itself? Do they...

    308 Shorter Barrel?

    I see a bunch of you guys have 20" 308 bolt rifles. Is there a reason for that length of barrel? I do want a shorter rifle later on and was wondering what the best length seems to be? Does the 18" minimum length law still stand with bolt guns? Thanks!

    Gunsmithing Free Floating Test...

    I have a Remington 700 Tactical XCR Long Range 308 that comes with a Bell and Carlson stock that I think is touching the barrel too much. I ran a sheet of paper between the barrel and stock and it slipped by until I got half way down the barrel and then it got continuously harder to move. I...

    Hey guys, I purchased the "Bushnell Banner Scope 6-18x50mm Adjustable Objective Multi-X Reticle" about a year ago and put it on my Remington 700 XCR. It's my first bolt gun, so the scope worked great for me until now. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=128054 I went to the...

    Gunsmithing Gotta Drill The R-700 XCR LR B&C Stock !!!

    I just ordered a Karsten Cheek Rest so I will have to drill my stock soon. This is my first bolt gun and I don't know what I need to watch out for.

    6.8 W/ AK-47 type gas piston

    Hey guys, I'm an AK guy but I wanna get an M4 and need a little advice. I know the 6.8SPC is probably one of the best rounds you can have for a CQB - Mid-Distance rifle and I definitely want one with the AK type gas piston system. I don't really know what I should be looking at and reading up...

    Gunsmithing Chewed Bolt

    I went shooting the other day and noticed the bolt is a little chewed up where the handle connects to it. The rifle is a Remington 700 XCR in .308 and it's my first bolt gun so I don't have a clue about what's goin on. I've attached a picture and hope you guys can make it out (cell pic). I...

    Rifle Scopes Should I lap?

    Do you guys suggest lapping scope rings? I dropped my rifle off ate the gunsmiths to have the scope mounted and I asked him if I should have the rings lapped. He said he wouldn't mind doing it but it's pretty rare that someone asks for it. I was pretty surprised. Isn't that a important thing...
