    MSA Supreme Pro Earmuff Modifications?

    I have a set of the MSA Supreme pro earmuffs and realize the NRR is low but I had a little brainstorm. From my car audio days mass loading thin panels seemed to help the sound quality. What do yall think about adding a thin layer of sound deadening material to the insides of the earmuffs? I...

    Muzzle Brake Options

    Im thinking about adding a muzzle brake to my .308 rem 700 and had a specific "feature" i was looking for. What i want is a brake that has the barrel face exposed. I see the RAD Rapid Brake looks like it does what i want and gets good reviews. I need to check with Hateca to see if they are...

    Gun Cases

    What Are you using for a gun case for your precision rifles? I have somewhat swayed to soft discreet type bags for my other rifles and have thought about one for my bolt gun. I currently use one of the Starlight hard cases that Sams sold back in the day for cheap. The starlight case is big and...

    Casing shape

    I was wondering something when i read about the 300 BLK and wanted some help understanding it if any of you know. I load for .308 and .223 so being able to use the .308 projectile in a .223 case would be an easy transition supply wise. My question comes from why they didnt use the 7.62x39...

    Shoulder Position?

    I am having some issues getting a consistant cheek weld on my rifle in prone and from the bench. My rifle is a Rem 700 5R Special with the HS Precision stock. As for my specs just think 6' tall and lanky. I think my main issue is i cant find the right spot to put the butt of the rifle. I can...

    Gunsmithing Mercury Recoil Reducers

    I found one other thread on this and the OP didnt get much feedback on the mercury reducers. I have some steel shot i could add but i thought the mercury deal could be more beneficial. I really hate to add weight to the stock but i would like to reduce the recoil without threading the barrel...

    Iron Sight Trainer

    Ive scanned through the other posts and dont see much on iron sight rifles. What are someones options for an accurate iron/peep sighted rifle? I keep seeing the savage mk ii mentioned. It would be great if i could find something sub $200 that i could work with to optimise. I cant afford a...

    Steel target shapes

    I finally am a member of a range where i can use steel targets. So what shape targets do you findto be the most fun or beneficial to shoot at? I would like something i can shoot an AR at with just a red dot or irons. It would also be nice to be able to shoot my .308 bolt gun at but that may be...

    Gunsmithing Cheek Piece ideas

    I am looking for some ideas for a new cheek piece. I currently have the eagle stock pack and feel it pushes my head too far away from the center of the rifle. I have to tilt my head over in order to get inline with the scope. Do any of you have any ideas for something thin i could use to...

    Rifle Scopes Optical and mechanical center of scope

    Do any of you have any methods to optically center a scopes reticle? I have a couple scopes i would like to set back to center but cant remember how. I know mechanically i can just count off the clicks but some of them dont have a solid end point (read cheap). I would also accomplish what i...

    Gunsmithing Crowning Tool

    I want to recrown a rifle but thought about trying one of those "do it yourself" deals. The rifle in question is a AK-47 so i doubt it can get worse but who knows. So to those of you who have used them whats the story? Am i better off just forgetting about it or should i give it a try since...
