Seriously considering getting a Sako S20 Hunter in .308 as my next rifle purchase. Will be used for hunting in the lower 48 up to and including Elk. I don't recall reading a bad review on these for the gun rags, but wondering if anyone here has any first-hand experience with one and what your...

I have a friend who lives in Montana and I have an open invitation to come hunting (Whitetail, Mule Deer, Elk, etc.). I live in north central TX so my hunting is limited to mostly feral hogs and whitetail where my 30-30, 6.5 Grendel, and 6.5 Creedmoor are more than enough to get the job done. I...

I picked up an 18” 6.5 Grendel upper from PSA. Read a lot of great reviews for both quality and accuracy. Quality is great, hope I get the accuracy as well. I plan to load for this so curious if any of you load 6.5G and what load you’ve found to be good. I don’t have every powder to try but do...

While this is embarrassing to admit, I figure it may help someone or at least bring some awareness. I went to the range today with my Dad to enjoy some shooting, sight in a couple of optics, and get some trigger time with some new/as yet to be fired guns. Now, I am not a novice and have been...

Wanted to take a minute to get some feedback/opinions/thoughts on the title subject. I've done a bit of research on this myself and already own a CZ Scorpion Evo 3 in 9mm and it's a great little PCC, but quite expensive... I also had to spend some money on a trigger spring kit, better paddle...

Recently acquired a "collectible" firearm that has increased in value since it stopped being produced. Rifle does not appear to have ever been fired other than proof loads at the factory. My question is, would it seriously devalue the rifle by firing a few rounds to function check it? Do...

Are these decent rifles? What would the value of one be in perfect as-new condition? Have a potential trade for one, but don't know if the value he places on it is accurate.

Well after nearly 4.5 months, my Eform 1 was approved today! PTR 91 12" barrel. Added a HK heavy buffer, picatinny rail and foregrip, and vortex spitfire 1x prism scope with red/green illumination. Stock is surplus HK. Also added upgraded trigger group which brought trigger pull down to 4.5 lbs...

Looks like Ruger is finally jumping on the band wagon and offering a factory long range/tactical style rifle. This looks to be a very good platform for the money! A new mag well design that allows the use of a wide range of mag types. I wouldn't mind trying one in 6.5 Creed, just wish the...

I added a picatinny rail to the hand guard of my PTR 91. Mine has the wide hand guard, but similiar process would be followed for the standard hand guard. Install Time: 15 Minutes Items needed: Tape (Masking Tape, painters tape, or similar) Drill 7/16 Drill Bit 3/16 Drill Bit Automatic Center...

Finally got my "new" Savage out to the range. Weather was a comfortable 82 degrees with 0 wind. Only ranges close to me have a max distance of 100 yds. Shot 3 shots at 25yds, then headed over to the 100yd line. Setup: Savage 12 Long Range Precision 6.5 Creedmoor Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50...

Thinking of picking up a 12" barreled PTR 91/K3P PDW pistol and converting to an SBR (with proper stamp and paperwork of course)... Anyone have one of these, either as a pistol, SBR, or carbine/rifle configuration? How do you like it? How sensitive is it on ammo it likes? How does it shoot with...

"Unicorn": That one gun you have wanted since it came out but either didn't have the money or couldn't find one when you did have the money. Well, the stars aligned and I found this on a local forum and immediately messaged the seller that I wanted it. Brand New in box with EGW 20moa base...

Local private range (A little over an hour from my house) held a "Hunters Rifle Challenge" this past Saturday. The match had been planned for months and I had been paid up just as long. First, let me say I had a BLAST (no pun intended)!!! This match was set up to simulate different hunting...

Some of you may remember me mentioning I got my 11yo son a Mossberg MVP Patrol in .223 to use for deer season. He shot a little with open sights, then I picked up a Leupold VX1 2-7x33 for it. Today we went to the range and sighted it in and got him some trigger time/marksmanship practice. I...

Anyone load 7.62x39 using Varget, or is it too slow-burning? I like to load with powders that can be used across multiple calibers, but can't find any load data using Varget. Sure would be nice if it can be used with acceptable results... What say the braintrust of TFL?

Talking with my Dad and cousin over the weekend and my cousin posed a question of which AR mfg to look at if he wanted to buy one. The conversation turned into a discussion of all the new AR manufacturers that sprung up seemingly overnight to cash in on the buying craze due to the scare of a...

Just bought a Mossberg MVP Patrol rifle in .223. What is the max bullet weight that will reliably stabilize with a 1/9 twist barrel? What is a good powder for multiple bullet weights? Thanks!

My 11yo son has taken an interest in shooting and hunting, which I'm excited about. Means I have another "reason" to buy more guns!:D With deer season around the corner, I want to get him his own rifle. I hunt with a .308 Tikka T3 which is a little too stout on recoil for him. He is 4'11" or so...

I recently purchased a couple new pistols. Looking to stock up on some brass for 2 new calibers and one that I've owned for years but never reloaded for, until now. What are your thoughts on Starline brass? How is the quality? How many reloads can I expect from them with mid level pressures...
