    New build caliber? : 22-250Ackley or 223 Ackley

    Want a 22 caliber rifle that's capable, low recoiling with good component availability. The 22-250 AI launching an 80-90gr bullet looks really good. 223 AI also looks good and has the best component availability. These are my 2 frontrunners. 224 Valk and 22Nosler aren't truly unobtainium...

    22 Nosler in a semi auto platform. Thoughts and experience please...

    Looking at the 22Nosler for a lightweight predator hunting gun. Nosler introduced it in 2017 and it looks like there were some problems with it chewing up the brass. So bad that you couldn't reload it. On paper it looks pretty good. Only have to change barrel and magazines to use in a small...

    Freezing rifle test - Garand Thumb

    I wasn't expecting much. But I must admit the brands/ types I thought would do well did not! I found this really enlightening.

    I'm having a hard time believing this. But I cant prove its untrue; Vax-magnetism

    I'm a skeptical person. It takes a lot to convince me of something that's out of the ordinary or counter-intuitive. And this is especially true of info from the internet. And I even hesitate to post this here because inevitably there's the possibility that this is all a ruse and I fell for...

    Need a lower parts kit, AR15.

    Im doing a last minute rifle build. I've got the upper and the lower receiver and a few other parts on hand like the pistol grip. I would like a decent trigger, and ambidextrous safety. Other than that just high quality parts. Are there any Hide vendors or reputable online dealers that anyone...

    Night Vision WTS/WTT Leupold Tracker 2 thermal scanner

    I have a Leupold Tracker 2 thermal scanner that I'd like to sell or, trade for a tripod. I received it for Christmas and its like new in the box. It works fine but my eyes are getting old and require me to hold it too far away to effectively see the display. I have only used it to walk...

    Went to gun store for the first time in about a year...

    It was on the small side but well stocked and helpful staff. Everybody who was waited on at the counter bought at least 1 gun! And it was crowded with people waiting to be waited on. Guy in front of us bought 2 shotguns. My wife wanted a revolver and they had a SW 10mm. Their prices were...

    Something the Founding Fathers didn't anticipate...?

    I heard Bill O'rielly awhile back, during the Obama years, make a statement that I thought was pretty insightful. It has been brought to my mind more and more since Trump got elected. I think of it when I see how Adam Schiff lied about the Russia/Trump collusion hoax, talking to the press at...

    New rifle needs a bipod

    Which one? Rifle chassis has a full length Arca rail and will probably weigh 10 to 12 pounds when completed. I got the chassis from the PX and it had the Arca rail already installed so I'd like to take advantage of that. I figured Harris or Atlas but there are lots of other's on the market...

    Which chassis and magazine system for a 7mm SAUM ?

    I'm planning my first bolt gun build so this might be a real dumb question; It will be a 7mm R-SAUM with the Archimedes long action from American Rifle Company. I would like to use the Magpul Pro 700 chassis but this is where things get uncertain: The 7 R-SAUM case diameter is .550" with a case...

    Night Vision Which Thermal weaponsight?

    So I have decided that it's time to expand my capabilities and I think a thermal weaponsight is the way to go. I will likely be using it to scan a large field from an elevated platform for coyotes and such and could engage targets out to about 900yds. It would live on an AR 10 rifle. I figure...

    Night Vision Need recommendation for a weapon laser/light

    I need a weapon light with a visible laser for an AR15 rifle. Found a few, like the Stiener Fusion but they are mostly designed for pistols. Looking at rifle specific products like the Surefire X400 ultra and it seems to check the boxes but there are a lot of other brands that might be quality...

    Need recommendations for a custom barrel and AR-10 upper build.

    I have a Mega Machine matched upper and lower that needs a barrel in 7-08. I found West Texas Ordinance and sent them an inquiry but I thought I'd ask The Hide for reputable shops and a source for the barrel. So far I havent found anybody who sells a drop in 7-08 barrel for a large frame AR.

    Range Report App for atmosphere data I-phone/I-pod touch

    Thought I would share a method for getting atmosphere data for a ballistic calculator. I use Ballistic AE on an iPod touch. The I-pod touch can't access the NOAA feature in Ballistic AE since its not a phone. I found an app for pilots called Pilot Wiz that provides all the weather data available...

    Suppressors SAS TiArbiter or TBAC 30p-1

    The TBAC seems like its all the rage right now. Haven't seen much posted about the SAS Arbiter since about last April. I am about to pull the trigger on my first suppressor and I want to make a good choice. I think I've got it narrowed down to these 2 choices. I think I'm leaning toward the...

    Possible to set up a Redding 308 die for 7-08?

    Hi All - I've got a .308 Redding type S FL die with neck bushings. I just finished building a semi-auto rifle in 7mm-08. I was looking at having a custom die made by Forster for the 7mm-08. Or maybe do what frogman77 did and just have the neck of a standard die honed out to his specified...
