    Vltor Modpod anyone using one?

    I would like to add a bipod to my rifle. My original thought process was a Harris HBRMS with a QD mount. But the bipod would mount up on my 9" rail right were I have my Magpul AFG. Thats the point on my rail my hand feels natural to hold when I'm shooting. So one of my concerns is distrubting...

    Rifle Scopes My first scope need help making the right choice

    6 months back I completed my first rifle build. Until that point I have never owned a rifle and had very little experience. I spent roughly 6 months picking apart forums,threads, articles and reviews. I concluded I wanted to build my lower myself, which I did and selected an upper based on my...
