If you're aware of a good .308 rifle that shoots extremely well (assuming a qualified shooter) with a specific factory cartridge, please list it here. I'm not into reloading but would like a tack driver that I can get consistent results from a factory cartridge.

I thought hitting a golf ball at 550 yards was pretty good, but the same company of long range Canadian snipers hits an ISIS combatant at 3,450 METERS / 2 miles...

I saw an ad for Tracking Point rifles, and wondering if anyone here has purchased or fired one of these rifles that tracks the target. They're not inexpensive, so I'm interested in your perspective if you have one, if they're worth the price they're asking ($5-25K) and do what they advertise.

Just curious about what size 3 shot groups you guys can consistently shoot at 100 yards, What rifle you're using and what ammo.

What is the maximum possible speed of a bullet, given an ideal (trying to keep it easy): A very small projectile (near zero mass) A large amount of propellant (whatever that may be) A perfect seal between the bullet and the barrel Zero resistance between the bullet and the barrel There is no...

I got an email offer from Midway like I expect many of you did for an 80% Stoner kit. Don't have an AR, but have the tools, question is this a good quality AR and a deal? Deal is over today...

I'm working on smoothing the trigger on my Barrett .50. Nothing wrong with, 1 pull = Big Bang. But not the smoothest trigger. One suggestion was to polish the appropriate faces of the sear then plate ptfe/ teflon on it. Has anyone tried something like that?

Without my trying to put limitations and qualifications, what is "Long Range Shooting" according to your definition. If your definition is dependent upon something other than just distance, please share that with us.

Assume you were on a tight budget (your definition). You want a rifle that: Can shoot a 1/2 MOA group at 100/200 yards, Using factory ammo. Optics are not included. What would you buy and what would it cost?

I'm looking for a bright GREEN rail mounted laser that I can mount on a .50. I currently boresight with a (not that bright) Red laser but would like something on the rail that is reasonable rugged. Not interested in the $1K Steiner, but $300 is fine. Thanks in advance!

Without going custom, is anyone aware of a case I can put a 59" rifle in? I have a M107A1 and don't want to break it down for some trips. Thanks in advance.

Like the title says, what specific make, model and ammo have you shot that was truly painful. I normally shoot a Barrett .50 BMG, which does an amazing job of managing the recoil with it's mass and efficient muzzle brake. Most high power rifles don't seem to do that. For me it was a...

I have a Barrett M107 .50 cal that is a blast to shoot, but the trigger is not real smooth. It's still in warranty so I don't want to go down the 'file this / file that' trigger road yet. There's a product called KG-5, which claims to be a PTFE Trigger Lubricant, and a few others that are PTFE...

I have the name of a manager I'd like to contact at Smith and Wesson. Can anyone tell me the format for their email (i.e.; John Smith => John.smith@smith-Wesson.com or jsmith@sw.com or whatever it might be)? Thanks

It looks like I will get a pass to the SHOT Show. Only gave 1 day there. What should I expect?

In another thread Mississippi asked about reasonably priced spotting scope recommendations for 600 yards. That got me thinking, you can get a good 8" catadioptric used scope for $500-800, with a stand. Magnification is anything from 20X to over 100, but more than that the tripods are usually...

TXAZ is calling the election at 1046 PM Central: Trump, based on the Democratic challenger's inability to mathematically win based on current states electorial counts. So the question is, how do you believe, from a gun owner's perspective, 'things will change' or not? What area would you like...

I understand getting a C&R license allows you to buy Class 3 weapons that are 50 years old (circa 1966 or earlier). Seems like an easy way, ($30 for 3 years) to reduce the hassle and get a machine gun. Is this correct? Anybody have one and any pros / cons? Thanks.

The long distance record for shooting a golf ball is 551 yards, according to Wikipedia. Here are 2 of 5 golf balls shot 32 yards past that (583 yards). Each golf ball is ~ 1.68" in diameter, using an M107A1 driver, and APIT tee. Anyone else shoot golf balls?

.50 BMG reloading may be in the cards in the near future. Is there a list somewhere of *everything* that would be needed to take spent brass and turn it into high quality ammo? I know some of the kits have many components, but it seems like there is always something else missing. Thanks.
