    I don't have a long range rifle, but I'm looking to buy. My budget is ~$2,000. I'm eying the Tikka T3x Tac A1 and the Christenson MPR. I am looking for a 6.5 creedmoor/prc. Suggestions on any others?

    Rifle Scopes MOA/MOA and SFP: Recommendations?

    I realize that MIL/MIL and FFP is the hot ticket now. But, after carefully considering how I will actually use the scope, I've determined that MOA/MOA and SFP will suit me better. Much as I enjoy tactical matches, I've got too many years and surgeries behind me to run around the courses. So the...

    Bipod recommendations

    Does anyone have an opinion on what they consider to be the best bipod for a heavy (.375 Chey Tac class) rifle? Harris seems the most popular but if someone knows of another slick option I am all ears. Since we are talking about guns that weigh at or near 20# it would seem spending a bunch of...

    Need some recommendations on building a 300 wm?

    I'd like to build a 300 win mag or 300 wsm in a AICS 2.0 chasis. It will most likely see most of it's action at 600 yards but will shoot 1000 occasionally.
