    Night Vision Flir breach

    I already have a mean thermal scope on my gun . I was thinking it would be good to get a monocular to quickly clear an area without having to keep the rifle optic turned on all the time. I got an opportunity to buy a slightly used one for 2500. Is this good or should I go with something else ?

    Trg22a1 vs AX

    I've been offered a trg22a1 in 308 for 3.5k. Is it worth it ? I want something that's 100% reliable to hold zero like my awsm. It's just that the trg action is only held into the chassis with screws not bonded in like AI. Should I save and just get an AX or go ahead with this trg ?

    Rifle Scopes SIG BDX, range finder combo scope opinions

    After a recent hunting trip my friend is raving on about these. If they are so good then why aren't any militaries using them. I couldnt find negative reviews on them , but I need honest opinions on these and the pitfalls compared to using a traditional scope with log book for accurate long...

    AR10 or M1A ?

    Just wondering whether to plunge into an Aero precision AR10 or upgrade my M1A with a Vltor rail, just so that I can mount a thermal optic in front of the day scope. I just love the ruggedness and wood/steel of the M1A, I'm not sure if an AR10 can be as durable in the woods

    cleaning barrel during long range session

    The other day I was shooting at 1230m with 338 lapua AWSM. Shots were consistent, but then after about the 8th shot ( unsupressed ), 2 shots started going like 1 mil down and 0.5 mil left. I looked down the barrel and it was pretty dark, so I took a pull through ( OTIS cable with correct bronze...

    Rifle Scopes Optic selection help.

    So I have this nice 308 which is good to 1000, 24 inch barrel. I've been using a Leupold 30mm 4.5-14 x 40 with target turrets and its good. However I'm not happy about the 1/4 moa clicks and multi turn turret as its easy to get "lost" in them. I'm sure I can sell this for decent coin...

    Fieldcraft what is the best tripod system

    I'm convinced about the HOG saddle, but the Manfrotto tripod seems a bit flimsy for field conditions. What is the best option out there that can take a 338 rifle ?

    M14 any good at 800 ?

    have an opportunity to get a USGI M14 with fibre stock. Is it capable of getting 1moa at 800m ? Can it handle hi pressure reloads ? What is the best scope mounting options ? Am I better off with an AR10 ? No NFA flames please. This deal is all legit.

    which barrel twist for 338 lapua

    I have an AI AWSM 338 with the non CIP length mag ( 3.625"), that I want to get rebarreled as the barrel is quite eroded. Which is the best twist to get for this system ? Stick with 1:11 , or go for 1:10 or 1:9.375 ? I'm intending to stick with the 250 grain bullets due to lack of seating...

    Rebarrelling an AWSM 338 to 1:9.375 twist

    My AWSM has 1:11 twist and shoots well with 300 grain scenar. I wanted to get another barrel for it ( as a spare and then to use when the current one dies) Is it a good idea to get a match barrel made up in 1:9.375 with the standard AWSM chamber of 91.50 mm (3.602 in) as opposed to the...

    AX rifle

    I already have an AW 338 rifle and absolutely love it ! I've only taken it to 1000m though but it shoots amazingly with both 250 and 300 grain projectiles. Now this sick mind of mine is debating whether to get an AX rifle. Just have this sniggering feeling that I can get even better...

    awsm with 1:11 twist 300 grain scenar

    I really want to push my AW to use the 300 grain pills. I've loaded with retumbo 93gn and loaded the round to mag length getting 2800 fps. Had good results at 300 and 700m At 100m it shoots a 1 inch group ( not as accurate as the 250 gr scenars). Should I try to push it more towards the...
