So I just placed an order for a Tikka T3X UPR in 6.5 manbun. I was using a Savage 110 carbon tactical to fill this rifle's role. However, after owning another T3X rifle I have become quite fond of them. Anyone else have one of these rifles? If so, how do you like it? The carbon reinforced...

So after much research for something outside my wheelhouse of cartridges, I have determined I need a .280 AI. I have spent a decade shooting 6.5mm, .308" cartridges and .224" cartridges. I wanted something with more energy than my Creedmoor, and less recoil than my 30-06. Also wanted something...

Recently traded a Glock 43x for a S&W 686 plus. Now that I have had the opportunity to shoot it, I am impressed. I almost feel bad for the guy I traded the Glock to. The revolver is way nicer. Anyway, who makes the best sights for these guns? Not a huge fan of the factory installed sights. I...

Ordered a Savage 110 Carbon tactical this week, 6.5 manbun of course. I am going to be in the market for a lightweight chassis or carbon fiber stock. I want something close to or less than the factory accufit stock, (good luck, I know). Needs to have adjustable comb height, and vertical grip...

SO, I am working on an AR 10 build. I do not need help with that. However, I am having trouble deciding what direction to go for optics. Generally speaking, for my AR style rifles I prefer to keep low magnification or no magnification optics on board. The idea is that if I ever have to shoot and...

Converting a Savage 110 SA, .243 Win, to a detachable magazine, it is currently a blind magazine. When these were produced all of them were standard long actions, even the short action cartridges. I am looking for a compatible 110 long action, side bolt release, detachable magazine, black...

Testing a new bullet for 9mm defensive ammunition this past weekend. Loaded some 125 grain Sierra V-Crown to test in all my 9mm guns. I have put well over a thousand rounds through this Glock, and a couple thousand through my other Glock 43x. To my surprise, I had my first failure to feed ever...

So, I am getting ready to buy a couple thousand hollow points to load for 9mm defensive ammunition. I know I don't need that many, but I practice often with my carry ammo, and with the current market, I cannot afford to buy defensive ammunition in the quantities I would like to shoot it. I can...

Picked up a Winchester model 94 in 30-30 this morning. Manufactured in 1955. Been trying to get my hands on one of these guns for awhile now. The metal needs to be refinished. It appears as though someone tried to refinish it in the past and goofed it up. Would really like to keep it original...

Picked up a Hellcat Pro by Springfield this morning. Knew I needed it as soon as I picked it up. Will post some photos when I get around to it. Like my XDM Elite, I love the sight picture. This gun came with a tritium front sight instead of fiber though. Roughly the same size as my Glock 43x...

While searching for a hunting rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor that is lighter than my Browning Max Long Range, I found a Tikka T3X Lite. Pretty sweet rifle for the money if we're being honest. Topped it with a Leupold VX5HD. Now I just need to go shoot the dang thing.

I have used the 9mm plated bullets version 2 from Everglades ammo for quite some time, but only in 9mm Luger. Velocities range from 1050-1250 fps. I have never had anything but good results with them. I am considering buying the same bullets in .400" for my 10mm. Velocity is what concerns me...

In the market for a pistol caliber carbine. What are some of your favorites? What is it that makes that rifle stick out for you? Looking to spend less than $1,000 for gun only. Optics will be addressed at a later time.

Bought a M&P 2.0 pro series in 40 S&W. Headed to the range today. I will report back later. At first feel I like the gun a lot. The suppressor height sights are actually pretty easy to line up which surprised me a little.

Contemplating a new Varmint rifle to also shoot 100 and 300 yard Benchrest league at my local range. I am thinking 6.5 Grendel or 6mm ARC. The trouble I am having is deciding what action to build it on. I have considered buying a Savage 110 tactical with the appropriate bolt face and then using...

Anyone have any good places to look for aftermarket XDm Elite parts? I am looking for a slide release that sits higher than the stock one. I have modified my thumbs forward grip to avoid the slide release, but now the palm of my hand hits the slide release under recoil, just enough to lock the...

Ordered a Walther PDP and it finally arrived at the LGS. Gonna pick it up this weekend. Super stoked about this gun. Now to decide what optic to install on it. Optics on pistols is a new concept for me. What are your favorite micro optics for semi-auto pistols? I had a Vortex Venom dot that I...

Picked up a Springfield XDm Elite OSP in 10mm auto today. I like the aesthetics and dimensions of the gun, and the trigger was a nice surprise too. I think I will love this gun when I can get reasonably priced range ammo. The Hex Dragonfly red dot sight seems nice enough. For the overall price...

So, for a long time, I have seen the slight bulge left near the base of a bullet when I load 9mm Luger ammunition. They have never failed to fire or chamber so I never gave it a great deal of thought. Well, I sat down to load some defensive ammo the other night with new cases and Hornady XTP...
