    PVA Solus .223 Wylde Barreled Action (Barrel question)

    So while I originally was ready to move with a Tikka, (thanks again to all who offered advice) I stumbled across this deal yesterday. I planned on dropping it into a KRG and finding a good scope. It's going to be a little over my budget but it will slowly come together. I read about the...

    Advice on .223 Tikka T3X and a KRG Bravo

    Ok members, been sniffing around for info on these items and many threads are close but way off....I have mucho .223 components and was leaning towards the Tikka (Lite JRTXE312) and the Bravo stock. This is not a PRS rifle, (I looked at build parts and that is not in the financial folder 😞)...

    Smokeless Powder Life/Viability Question IMR 4895

    So while at a match this morning a fellow shooter had a few items for sale. I was stunned to see an unopened can of IMR 48985. It was an 8lb. can. I have never seen that before. I knew they used to make the small 1 lb. can, but this is a very large can. My concern is the age. He said it is...

    East Coast Night Shoot 2023

    I attended last year by myself, but I got my daughter to tag along this time. Lots of shooting and more vendors as well. I must admit that much of the eqpt for sale and display is beyond my user ability. Highly specific and geared for the folks who know how to use that stuff to build or...

    What's missing...?

    :unsure: Many years ago (well before I started reloading) I was working out with some factory ammo. It was sold in a 20 round (box) sleeve.....some may recall this sleek looking packaging...anywho...I had a dud....Hmmmm....I put the round aside after waiting the obligatory (not to be confused...

    This primer caught my attention

    Looks like they put extra Loctite in there.... :unsure: ....I set it off to the side and finished the last few. I have never seen anything quite like that before. Stuck out like turd in a punchbowl (classic movie reference..:giggle:) Any thoughts from the goon squad..?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns A classic find....

    Whilst sniffing around Pigeon Forge last week we wandered into a gift shop and the first thing I see on the wall is a metal sign. So I look around to see if it's in a rack or on the shelf. Nope. I asked the proprietor if there were more. Nope, but she'll pull that down for me if I like...

    Advice Needed for Outdoor Security Camera(s)

    Last October my father in law passed away suddenly. His house which is out in a rural farming area -as in flat wide open, his farm -is now being maintained by all of us. All has been well until a family friend who was plowing snow from the driveway noticed the license plates on his truck are...

    Unique Challenge Coin From SOG-MACV

    A coworker shows this to me today and said it was handed to him by George himself. It seems the coworker knew George through a friend (George was the FIL to coworker's friend) when he was much younger. Hadn't seen George in many years and was floored to run into him. I don't know the...

    Suppressors Fixed Barrel Spacer question...

    Found them for an outrageous price. Also found a few videos on do it yourself. Anyone make such a spacer here for their own use, what material did you use, and does it work? I'll be using it on an Osprey 45 mounted to an MP5 clone with the 8" bbl. Thanks!

    GoFund Me for a tragic loss

    I know Kevyn personally. He attended grade school with my daughter. I knew they were expecting (their 2nd) and then I found out the horrific news from my daughter as they have kept in touch over the years. The fundraiser is in place thanks to a close family friend out in Montana where he is...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Glass (VX-3HD) made in...?

    A quick call and the tech was professional and courteous but was unable to name exactly where the glass is made for this series other than who ever gets the contract. He went on to name several countries, including china, and Scotland! I pressed a little bit but his response was well practiced...

    Coach Gun Advice (12 Gauge)

    So as I consider what I need to round out the collection, the historical SXS coach gun continues to pop up. I have always wanted to add one to the safe but atypically dragged my feet.....😖....I know that now is probably the worst time to try and sniff out such a shotgun, but I figured some...

    Accessories WTB-QD Sling Swivel

    Sniffing around and they seem to be so popular that the better quality swivels (IMO) are out of stock. Really only need 1 but if a member has 2 I reckon we could try to put something together. Will be used on pic rail from Atlas when bipod is off and I need to sling up. Kind of a long shot...

    Advice on bipod feature (pan)

    Looks like it will be an Atlas but not sure about the pan feature. Looks like the CAL is solid but gives up the pan ability as compared to (some of the) other models. Not planning on any PRS matches, not jumping fences or kicking down doors. Mostly stationary shooting for accuracy from prone...

    Atlas Bipod on 700P stock query...

    So....before the haters hate on my rifle, (it's a .308, double hate:rolleyes:) was wondering what kind of fasteners others have used. Just spoke with the CS at Accu-Shot and they were extremely helpful. Was advised that I can use 1 of the existing studs for the sling (ya'all know what a sling is...
