(PICS @ BOTTOM OF POST) Ok so I've been playing with it around the neighborhood and took it to the range and here are my impressions: The plastic body feels durable. It is either a very tough rubber or a slightly soft plastic. The metal clip can be positioned at 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 9...

Could someone please suggest to me a good solid tripod for a spotting scope? Will be using from a bench, and possibly from prone. The scope is a straight body type, so I'm thinking it should be on the small side fully collapsed (prone) and not much larger than medium sized fully extended...

My philosophy has always been that if you have a good enough rifle scope, you eliminate the need for a spotting scope. My problem is basically, you don't point your rifle at anything you don't intend to shoot, so I can't look at people, cars (or use your imagination) in the distance without...

I found this photo in another forum while looking at various 22 semi automatics. Link: http://www.zombiehunters.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=64227 I can't make out the markings on the side, otherwise I'd try to google it myself.

does it change with how far away it is viewed from? For example. A red dot on a carbine. Take it off, and put it on a pistol. It went from maybe 6 inches away to now something closer to 20 inches. Is it going to stay the same size or get smaller because its farther away? I'm looking at the...

I'm going sorting through my old casings to sell and I heard that you can't reload military cases. I don't know if it meant berdan primed only, but I don't even know what type of primer the M118LR uses. It looks like boxer on the bottom, and looking down inside it looks to have a normal single...

The more I read, the more it seems that you can't go wrong with either, but I had 3 things that I wanted to ask. 1) Optics mounting - which is better? Right now pictures seem to push me more in the direction of the Buckmark as the rails on some models look integral... but I have no clue if...

Is it worth the price? I have a Harris, it works well. Does the extra price on this really give you anything more? Construction looks nothing like what I've seen before... Lets assume law of diminishing returns applies here... its not going to hold your rifle twice as sturdy, so what realistic...

I'm shooting a Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter with a 2.5-8x Nikon Encore scope. The scope has 40MOA total adjustment, so 20 up and 20 down. I am completely maxed out in the "up" direction by the time I reach 25 yards, so besides using the ballistic reticle, I can't zero it out any farther. I...

I picked up two from the local shop (the only two they had that were in the manuals I had). Right now I am using Blue Dot, and Accurate No. 7. The Blue Dot burns filthy and accuracy is decent. The No. 7 is pretty good in all respects so far. It meters very well, it burns fairly clean, and it is...

So I'm a student majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I was told I have to take this new course as a co-requisite to one of my classes. I didn't know anything about it at first. Today was the first day. They want us to get acquainted with the use of several types of machinery and safety...

I'd like to get one with a fiber optic insert. The super blackhawk right now has one with a dull orange insert and it has a spring loaded pin on the muzzle that you press to remove the sight. Does anyone know of any aftermarket fiber optic sights for this gun? Also, rear fiber optics would be...

I've finally decided to finish what I started. I have most of the equipment already on a bench that I've never used. I had planned on it but never really got around to it. Can someone recommend to me a good manual or two? I am going to be reloading 45 colt (long) for a Ruger Super Blackhawk. I...

can anyone tell me about the trigger? I've done some googling and alot of sites are saying that it uses the LC6 trigger, but on gunblast.com the review specifically says http://www.gunblast.com/Ruger-Hawkeye308.htm also if anyone has any experience, accuracy reports would be nice as well.

pretty much what it says, I will post pictures later just getting it up here for the time being. It has between 100 and 200 rounds down the pipe, mostly wolf. It has a black stock instead of the factory green. It is the same exact stock but it was taken from an SPS varmint after I goofed up the...

Its a sweet shooter. I am very happy with the accuracy so far and I think I can do better. I had a lot to do and was slightly rushed (more towards the end, you probably know how that goes). Here's the basic rundown. I have a Ruger 77/22 and a Browning T-Bolt, and my friend has a Savage MK II...

Look at these photos. All of the 22 magnum and 17hmr ammo I've seen in person appears to have bullets of much higher quality. They appear to be smooth and less "dinged" up. They almost appear to have copper jackets (whereas a 22lr would have copper plating). The reason I use the word "inherent"...

I've read that there are two classes: Hunting rifles, and almost any rifle. The hunting rifles describes pretty much a stock hunting rifle (with a sporter contour barrel) with a trigger of at least 2 pounds and weighing under 8 and a half pounds I think. Another description I've read said...

my Remington 700 has chirping squeek sound whenever you latch the bolt down after the forward stroke. It is a minor nuisance, and doesn't effect the way it shoots. I have tried disassembling the bolt assembly, cleaning it out, lubing it up with no luck. It is a VTR in .308. An interesting thing...
