    Sidearms & Scatterguns Saw a guy open carrying

    Has it really reached the point that open carry and physical appearance require the approval from someone on the Hide to be permissible? So who is the Lord of Carry, the Fashion Police Chief, and Physical Fitness Coach that we need to submit our requests to and obtain approvals from?

    mitutoyo digital caliper- Are they really worth it?

    The difference between a quality precision tool and a cheap "Harbor Freight" type tool is like night and day. A quality precision tool is delivered with a certification of accuracy while you won't have a clue as to what you have in accuracy with a cheap tool. There is no way you can assess a...

    Hard to spot bullet holes at 300 yards

    Bad idea as most drones only have a battery life ranging between 8 and 20 minutes. I realize that what I'm about to offer is out of most people's lanes but you will find it effective and fairly inexpensive. As I've been working with drones, video surveillance, and shooting for a long time...

    K-Bars Ultralight self defense blade for female runner

    If the assailant is close enough for you to need a knife it's much too late to be making a call. I'm a believer in the Karambit. A slashing swing does considerable damage and the weapon is difficult to dislodge from your hand. If you really learn to use one they are deadly. They are really...

    This this vintage caliper set acceptable for measuring case dimensions?

    Precision tools require precision calibration and certification to be deemed accurate. Any old set of calipers or mic's that have not been professionally calibrated and certificated cannot be trusted for accuracy. They might be close but not dead nuts accurate. When working with stuff that...

    Best precision rifle available on a budget

    If you currently have nothing and can afford only a little my suggestion is to look at common brand production rifles in your price range with a proven history of accuracy. Some brands that come to mind are Savage, Ruger, and Howa. All three of them are relatively inexpensive with models noted...

    Why the hate for leupold ?

    My guess has Leupold getting the grumbles because they don't cater to a very small market of precision shooters. Probably 90% of hunters will take their game at distances that could be handled with open sights so they buy reasonably priced scopes that will get the job done mounted on reasonably...

    New Savage 12 LRP blowing primers

    Missed the comparator part:( I've had a few get pretty tight with a "wet" chamber, which is prolly what you experienced. Didn't blow the primers on those but the bolt was pretty tight after sending it. Let us know how things work out after the dry day shoot. Got 16" of snow last night here...

    New Savage 12 LRP blowing primers

    Your cartridge measurements are worrisome. I just opened a brand new box of Hornady 140gr 6.5CR A-Max because after reading your post alarms went off all over the place. The 6.5CR 140gr A-Max should measure close to 2.81", which is within .0005" of what I just measured. That's also what is...

    Howa 1500 Short action.

    Howa makes extremely good rifles at a price point well below what they are worth. Some get a little irritated about buying Japanese either because of being foreign or because the Japanese deny their citizens firearms. The people complaining have no problem buying an A.I. though, and their...

    Giving Snipers a Bad Reputation

    Thinking the press is concerned with accuracy in reporting is like believing in the tooth fairy. The word "snipers" has a far greater impact for readership draw in a headline than the words malicious or irresponsible shooters. As for the brass, for a moment let's say it was 7.62x39. If it was...

    Need a Good Place to buy Foam for Homemade Gun Case

    Thanks big time for that link!! I've been all over the web looking for replacement foam for a couple of cases and just about everywhere wants big $$ for just a little bit of foam. Kudos to you.

    My Manners ordeal at stocky's stocks: UPDATED WITH MESSAGE FROM STOCKY'S

    I've been considering an after market stock for a Savage with an Accustock. Stocky's is where I was contemplating making the purchase. With the possibility that fitting an after market stock to a newer Savage with a BDM can run into problems this thread has convinced me that Stocky's is not...

    Savage 10 bolt problem, ejector stuck

    Check your scales? Powders are not the same batch to batch so adjustments have to be made. Regardless of what your scale is telling you the truth and facts are found at the end of the case, not at the scale. If you are blowing, flattening, piercing primers the loads are too hot. Same applies...

    Savage guys??? Which savage to buy??

    Not meaning to derail the thread, but how hot does the round have to be to break the extractor? Will hot enough to cause the bolt to stick, flattening out the primer when fired qualify? The point is that some of anything breaks eventually on everything. I've done the above because that's...

    Catastrophic Failure

    You short changed him. But for England we would not have a Bill of Rights or the Constitution at all. Repressive government was largely the reason for the separation of this country from English rule, and that separation required a forward path that prevented the government from becoming one...
