    Question about a better 700 trigger

    There are more than a few out there now. For a bullet proof target trigger for a 700, what would be a good choice? FWIW I am still using a factory 700 trigger(tuned by GAP to 2.5 lbs), but I have been shooting a lot of .22lr lately and would really like a lighter/smoother trigger. The .22's are...

    Suppressors Suppressor question...

    I feel dumb asking this but I need to know... If I were to buy a suppressor for a Savage 112bvss 25-06, would it also work for a heavy barrel ar-15? I know the threads would have to the same on both barrels but would the bullet size difference cause trouble? And would one being a bolt gun and...

    basic reloading question

    If a bullet is reloaded .007" into the lands will that create more pressure or less. (will it even be significant). Also, the people which push the bullets up that far, do they have trued actions and barrels in order to get away from the "jump" of the round going off? Thankyou all in advanced

    I have used my A2 upper for years, even mounted an eotech to one, but I am being told that I am outdated, no one uses A2 uppers anymore. I actually like the A2 front site and carry handle rear sight set-up. Am I a freaking dinosaur or what? Besides an obvious flat top, what would i be missing...

    Question about a light palma barrel.

    How hot does a light palma barrel need to get before it gets unpreditable? The reason why I am asking this question is, for the first 25 rounds everything was great. 100yards to 1000yards, it shot on the nose. Then all of a sudden, I start shooting high and right. This was all the way from...
