    Poor-arue .223: Yall ever buy parts that turn into rifles?

    This will be the running story of an attempt at building a budget ~600 meter .223 on beer-influenced "sale" prices. Why does a rifle come into this world from one part? I'm new to trying to build for "precision." As I get older I realize I'm not as spry as I used to be on close range rifle...

    Precision Rifle Gear Arken 4-16 for lightweight .308?

    Sometimes budget parts agree!

    This is more of an “I got lucky” post rather than a “follow my lead” post as I believe spending money on quality gear the first time has the greatest chance of achieving your goals (all else equal). Anyway, I kinda built an extra rifle around a barrel I got for a good price. Said barrel is an...

    Cheap Spotting Scope, Under 300yds

    What's the Cheapest spotting scope I can get away with seeing 223 sized holes at 300yds. About 95% of my shooting is done under 300yds with a stretch out to 500yds every so often when I can make it out to that range. I'm looking at Celestron, Konus, and Redfield right now. Not finding much...
