I got my t-bolt in today (varmint stainless laminated). I believe it is a recently discontinued model. The only stainless model they offer now (on the Browning website) is laminated stock with a thumbhole. Anyway I put my bases on and this is what I see: You can tell that it isn't perfectly...

I was holding my scopes today, and I put one to each eye. I was trying to compare the crosshair thickness. One had a 4 inch eye relief and the other had a 3 inch eye relief. Besides going cross-eyed, I noticed that the sight picture in one was substantially larger than the other. I generally...

Thought I'd share a closer look at my new scope: The overall feel is solid but rough around the edges, mostly because of the heavy knurling on the mag ring, AO, and adjustment caps. Definitely affords you some good traction but perhaps a bit too much for bare hands. The matte finish feels...

I am watching the military channel and the show is called "Modern Sniper" and what they're basically saying is that they're (Army) using a new formula to accurately take shots without revealing the snipers position. They are not revealing the formula. Part of the technique involves the sniper...

Theyre made by S&K and they call them "Kontour Rings" and they go on "Skulptured Bases". The idea behind them is they are very light and clean looking. The ring is a solid band that goes all the way around the top of the scope and joins together in the base at the bottom. Other than the photos...

I've got a 22 inch stainless bull barrel on a 22lr rifle that I'd like to cut down to 16inches and have fluted. Can anyone give me any idea as to how much this might cost? Or at least how much work is involved? The barrel is from the factory so it doesn't need to be chambered or anything. Do...

Take a Browning BAR (the sporter rifle, not the WWII machine gun) and put the magazine well from a FNAR on it so that you can use detachable magazines (the BAR uses a hinged magazine). They appear to share the same synthetic fore-end dimensions. It looks like the FNAR has 3 pins/bolts above...

I have an aftermarket trigger installed. I was wondering if I should replace the factory trigger before sending it in. My concerns are, will they return my trigger along with the rifle (don't know if parts will be serviced/swapped out/etc).

So I was handling a number of scopes the other day and the gunshop owner noticed I was looking through all of them with my left eye. He said if I was left eye dominant I should shoot left handed. I read up a little bit and tried a little test where you point at a distant object with both eyes...

so I'm looking at the sightron II big sky http://www.sightron.com/index.php?action=view_document&did=1201816362&cat_id=15&id=30 and it is advertised as having 80 moa then I was looking at the Meopta 4-16 x 44 AO and it is advertised as having 42moa of windage/elevation...

I was looking at pics and I could swear they all looked like the same darn scope. Here's a pic of the Nikon Laser IRT and of the Burris Eliminator look at the brand name placement, the little button on the side (presumably to activate rangefinding), and the magnification ring. All look the...

Anyone have any experience with these? The product page says 9" with telescoping legs, but I'm wondering if the telescoping legs is a more general description for all stoney point models and not this particular model (it does not say 6-9" for example). But besides that can anyone comment on the...

Edit: scroll down for range report. New Ruger 77/22. I can't stop fondling it. I love the lines, love the stainless. I put a cheapo simmons 22mag on top of it. Its made in china but I think for the money the optics are good and its got adjustable objective which is what sold me on it. I will...

I will be fondling a new 77/22 in stainless (the all weather version) by next Sunday (gotta wait 10 days in cali). It has a 20 inch barrel and I'm considering having the local smith shorten it to 16.5". I've read this is the optimal length for the 22LR. What do you guys think? Yea or nay? I...

I went to a couple gun stores last weekend and was looking at 22LR revolvers, mostly the ruger single sixes and bearcats. Some where used on consignment, and others were NIB. They even had that new hunter model with the scope mount and 7.5inch barrel. Then I started looking at some models on...

A survival scenario. Comparing revolvers in 22LR (for taking small game) which would you prefer? My main concern is the assumption that parts and repair are not readily available. I am familiar with operating both types of guns but don't know much about the internal mechanisms of both...

So 4 years ago, I found a stray pup in an apartment stairwell and I took him in. I didn't know anything about dogs, but he had some pretty big paws, and someone told me they grew into their paws. I always wanted a dog to take with me camping and hiking and possibly even hunting, but the problem...

anyone ever hear of people converting these things to a different caliber? say... 45 long or even 454? is that even possible? of course the question with the 454 is always can it take the pressure, but what about dimensions? Magazine modification? new barrel? is the action long enough? I'm very...

I don't know if torqueing is even a word or if I mispelled that so sorry in advance. I have a remington 700 (BDL) that I installed a detatchable magazine trigger gaurd assembly onto and I'm running into a small problem. The trigger gaurd screw in the front now goes up through the reciever and...

It looks like they've released the equivalent to the FNP-9 with the updated ergos found in the FNP-45 (see overall grip, magazine release, decocker lever, full length accessory rail). It is called the FNX-9. I'm really liking it...
