    Looking for a good first aid/trauma bag

    Wasn't really sure where to put this so, Mod's feel free to move it if necessary. I'm looking for a complete first aid bag for my truck. I have a Ram 2500 with the in-floor storage and would like it to fit down in one of those compartments. Looking for something along the lines of a U. S. Army...

    Firearms WTB - Glock 19, Gen4, full FDE

    Specifically looking for the factory stock, Gen 4, full FDE (frame & slide), G19 in new or near new condition. I can do F2F in the DFW area or you would need to be willing to ship to my FFL. Shoot me a message if you can hook a brother up. Bob

    Gunsmithing Getting factory barrel off Tikka T3x lite

    Probably have a few more weeks to wait on my X-caliber barrel but, I really want to get the factory barrel off the action while I have some spare time. I tried making some blocks out of oak and clamping with rosin in both my bench vise and in my shop press and putting a 31mm wrench on the...

    Gunsmithing Can I use my shop press for a barrel vise?

    Getting ready to do my first barrel swap on a brand new Tikka. I'd like to keep the factory barrel in pristine condition so I can offer it up in the exchange. I have a big shop full of equipment (but no barrel vise) and I was thinking that I could pair a couple aluminum blocks in the mill and...

    Selecting the right 6mm creedmoor barrel

    My Tikka T3x donor rifle has come in and I'm ready to order a barrel. X-Caliber is having a sale so, given that they seem to get good reviews, I think I'm going to order from them. This will be my first 6creed so I'm looking for some advice on barrel selection. The range where I will do most of...

    Accessories WTT My Tikka T3x single stage trigger for your 2-stage

    Hey, TAC A1 guys! Like it says in the title, my single stage for your 2-stage. I'd even be willing to kick in $50. My trigger is a brand new take off and yours should be in good condition. We each cover shipping. ETA- ...or I would be willing to buy your 2-stage outright! Bob

    Best 6mm Creedmoor option for around $1500

    I've been kicking around the idea of trying out a 6mm Creedmoor. Really for no other reason than, I don't have one. I want to get the best out of it for the money and I'd prefer to stay around $1500. The option that appeals to me most is finding a Tikka T3x donor and putting a prefit on it. I...

    Rifle Scopes Quick look at the new Athlon Midas TAC 5-25x56 APRS3 MIL FFP HD

    I have to admit, it was difficult for me to buy a Athlon. While I am far from being a high end optics snob, I have been hanging out in the Bushnell Elite comfort zone for more than a decade. Truth is, I haven't been shooting for a few years and I'm just getting back into it. I kinda told this...

    Rifle Scopes Any reason not to use the Warne Skyline mount?

    Anyone have experience with these? They look decent and at a good price. Seeing them down around $170. Warne Skyline Scope Mount Bob

    Anyone have any experience with the Savage MSR10 chambered in 6mm Creedmoor??

    Lots of info on the 6.5cm (Hunter mostly) but, doesn't look like anybody has reviewed the 6mm creedmoor. I'm looking at either the "Long Range" or the "Precision" model. Bob

    Rifle Scopes Illuminated reticle for PRS style matches?

    I've been away from any kind of precision shooting for several years and have just been getting some time to start back up over the last couple months. I have a Tikka CTR in 6.5CM that is a good shooter and I'm thinking about signing up for a league at my local range. Currently I'm shooting with...

    Recommend a bag for carrying my Labradar that doesn't say "steal me" on it.

    I'm sure the Labradar bag is great but, my trust in mankind being what it is, I would prefer a bag without the giant flashing sign saying what it is. I'm sure others have gone before me in this so, what did you settle on for carrying your labradar and accessories? It would be nice if you could...

    Rifle Scopes Share your experience with the Trijicon 5-50x56 AccuPower

    I am seriously thinking about picking one of these up for my Tikka CTR in 6.5CM. I would go with the mil version for the center dot and the .05 mil adjustments. I know the scope is SFP and though, I have always insisted on FFP, I'm not sure SFP would be a problem for me. I almost always shoot by...

    Getting the pulse out of your trigger finger?

    So, I can shoot pretty well. No problem holding 1/2moa if the rifle can do it. That said, I want to shoot better and the biggest thing I feel is holding me back is the pulse in my trigger finger. I become very aware of it as I watch the reticle dance left to right over my target. Obviously...

    Kestrel D3 with Hornady 4Dof??

    Anyone use a Kestrel Drop D3 with the Hornady 4Dof phone app? I'm looking for a quick, accurate way of filling in the environmental data on the app. I don't need a full service meter so thinking this looks like a decent option. Just looking for feedback on how well it works. Bob

    Feasibility- Remington 700 .300WM to remage barreled 6.5PRC

    I've had a lot of ideas floating around in my head lately. A few years ago I wasted a fair bit of money building a .300WM LR target rifle based on a Remington 700SPS. The whole experience sucked. The rifle looked cool but, it shot like crap (big surprise) and at the end of a day of shooting I...

    Ruger RPR vs Hawkeye Long Range Target (6.5PRC)

    I asked for opinions on budget 6.5 Creedmoor rifle choices yesterday and it was suggested that I take a look at the Ruger RPR in 6.5PRC. So after reading up on the 6.5PRC, I think I "might" be interested in going that direction. Here's the thing though; I'm not really a chassis guy. My Remington...

    Feeling the need for a 6.5 Creed...moor. Recommendations please.

    I've been away from the Hide for a long time. All that life stuff getting in the way. Now I am back to see what is new in 2019. Here's the deal. I've always been a Remington bolt gun guy; probably because of the M24. I currently have a .308 and .300wm both built from the 700SPS platform. The...

    Where to get OD green scope caps?

    I have seen what appear to be Butler Creek flip up scope caps made in OD on several rifles here on the Hide. Done several searches with no luck. Can anyone point me to the source for these things? Bob

    Gunsmithing Made and installed my first tactical bolt knob

    This is my first personal centerfire bolt gun. SPS Varmint in .308. Got the rifle in about a week ago and swapped the barreled action into the B&C stock. Haven't had it to the range yet. Did the knob today. Designed it to look like the turrets on the Bushnell scope. I also pulled scope base off...
