    Gunsmithing Quick question on headspace gauges

    Got a 6.5 creedmoor coming in and this is my first venture away from the .308 realm. I am also a savage and Rem-age guy (no throwing rocks :) cause I understand that barrels are like tires and get worn out, but in like changing my own. Now I have a set of go no-go gauges for 308, I know...

    Gunsmithing Hide sponsor who can cut and thread some barrels

    I have two barrels that I am going to need chopped and threaded in the very near future. Having not had this done previously who on the hide does it and has good turn around times (the threading would need to be indexed off the bore axis versus the barrel axis as it would be for a can). I live...

    Budget Shooting Comms

    So I have been reading the threads on the nicer UHF/Ham setup with peltor headsets. Pretty nice but I dont think that we want to venture in the radio world of ham frequencies and similar. We were thinking maybe a cheaper radio, but keeping a higher quality headset would work for us. We...

    Rifle Scopes Is the PST 4-16 glass really that bad?

    Well, as my other post said the SWFA SS 3-15 is backordered with no idea when it will be back, looking at other options is the Vortex PST, but the 4-16 is the range I want. I have never looked through one however. Are they really that bad? or is it just internet repeating one person's...

    New model skid plate

    So the new version has the bungie attachments for ar and similar platforms. Do think it will affect accuracy or "barrel harmonics" on a bolt gun if the bungies are attached over the barrel, or should you just stick ( hee hee ) with the Velcro?

    So, I have a Remmy 700 AAC SD that I cannot get to shoot better than 1MOA no matter what I do. So I plan on pulling off the barrel and I always wanted a lightweight 6.5x47, so I was going to use this action with a Rem/age barrel nut conversion. Now I will have this .308 barrel that I...

    MD-Tac 21 Chassis Question

    Anyone run one with the Remage barrel nut? Is there clearance for this? Supposedly it will allow barrels as wide as the action, I can't personally think why this wouldn't work, anyone know for sure?

    So, anyone know the current turnaround time for a reticle change on a nightforce these days. Prices, according to their sheet is 300-400 buck which has gone up since about 1 1/2 years ago! I'm also looking at the velocity 1000, any benefits over a horus or temor? Anyone used it?

    Rifle Scopes So how does this Leupold compare?

    Well, I have been looking for new glass. Was planning on the Bushnell Elite tactical with the G2DMR reticle or the SS 5-20. Well through some dealing at the gunshow I ended up with a Leupold 8.5-25x50 Mark 4 LR/T with the M5 turrets. I am not as familiar with the leupold line. How does this...
