    Weatherby 307 Builders Action

    Glad to see some folks with this action. How does it feel running it? I doubt this would happen but would be nice to see how it feels when running compared to: Origin, Mack Bros, Solus, and the Remington Alpha One.

    Suppressors Reasons not to buy Silencerco Omega 300?

    A few people have mentioned that there are "better/newer" cans out there - @Xferbuckeye and others - besdies the Enticer and TBAC magnus, suggestions? Also, when you all are suggesting that a suppressor is "better" are the 2 main factors sound suppression and weight that drive that opinion? thanks

    Suppressors Reasons not to buy Silencerco Omega 300?

    $1K for the can. I picked the omega 30 for a few reasons: I've shot a rifle a few times using one, so I've heard it - liked it. I was going to buy their Scythe, but I watched a few videos on the Scythe and I didn't like the tone and it seemed louder. I also have the same strategy as I did when...

    Suppressors Reasons not to buy Silencerco Omega 300?

    I'm not running a semi. I do not own one nor do I want one. I'm just running bolt guns. I don't doubt that "one and done" is a fair tale, but that is the way I am approaching it for now.

    Suppressors Reasons not to buy Silencerco Omega 300?

    Edit: changed title to Omega 300 not the Omega 30. Based on their website the Omega 300 is the only one available. I am in motion to buy a “one and done” 30 cal can. I know better than to ask what is the “best” can because that is subjective that comes with 20K different choices. It will be...

    Stag Pursuit-named appropriately

    Ran across the rifle online yesterday. Looks to be a great factory option for a hunting rifle. Anyone put hands on one yet?

    So my daughter is heading off to college...

    I appreciate all the input in true Sniper's Hide fashion how this thread zigged and zagged along the way. Thank you for your input: some of it was helpful, some of it was funny, and some of it gave me worry in form of wtf. (the next person that mentions condoms or pills gets punched in the...

    So my daughter is heading off to college...

    Fair enough - jumper cables yes, change a flat tire yes. I will review all things with her before she leaves in August.

    So my daughter is heading off to college...

    @hlee and @748rpilot - jumper cables have been in the car since she started driving. That was just a "given" to me thinking that each vehicle should have cables. Like any car things can break, but it's a Honda Accord. I don't expect things to go sideways for her, but if anything ever does I...

    So my daughter is heading off to college...

    Looking for thoughts/opinions/experiences on what I need to compile for her in an emergency kit to keep in her car. The drive will be 2 hours, and a great deal of it will be through the countryside. Cell service is good the entire way. She will never be too far away for me to drop what I'm...

    What's in your EDC Kit?

    Do you have an EDC kit? Something portable - maybe a tool burrito, or an admin/tool pouch that you keep on you, or in a pack, vehicle, office, worksite, etc. If so, what do you have? What items are always in the kit? Thanks for playing.

    Gunsmithing Anyone familiar with Ruger m77 1980’s era need some help

    I think the bolt is a conversion by a smith. Compare how far the ejector slot is from the firing pin hole in both pics. Post 3 and 7

    Gunsmithing Anyone familiar with Ruger m77 1980’s era need some help

    Tang safety Ruger’s did not come with manual ejectors; as stated above it should have a plunger ejector. They changed over to plunger ejector with the MK II. I have had a few of each, and still have a tang safety m77 in 270. Maybe a smith tried to convert it? Post a pic of the bolt face...
