    Easy AR Question.. I think

    I've shot the M4 and M16 in the army and I had an AR15 about 3 years ago, so I'm not a complete idiot on it, but never been an enthusiast or paid close attention to them. I recently built a lower for the first time with a PSA parts kit and bought an assembled upper to go with it. I haven't...

    Roundhill Group gets FFL

    I did a search on this and couldn't find anyone already posting it. My apologies if it's a repost. Roundhilll reports they got their FFL in early Jan and were supposed to have started production by now. Does anyone know if they started? https://www.wktv.com/content/news/Roundhill--573553701.html

    First AR Lower build, trigger/bolt release

    I have a PSA lower and parts group and a Rise Armament SST trigger that I have put together. I watched multiple, multiple videos until I felt i knew what was definitely supposed to happen before I started. Now that everything is put together, when the trigger is pulled and the top half of the...

    The 1k yard range kicked my butt today!

    I recently joined a 1k yard range but only got to shoot at 400 the first time I went out. It was the first I'd shot past 100 with this rifle and scope. I knew my rifle was zeroed so I dialed in for 400 yards according to my ballistics program and hit it on my first shot of the day. I didnt...

    Timney Trigger for Savage

    I like my hunting triggers to be around 4lbs. The timney advertises up to 3 lbs. Does anyone know if that's accurate or is it possible to get up closer to 3.5, 4?

    Savage 110 Extractor Question

    I bought a Savage 110 in 7mm used off of the internert. It looks to be in pretty solid condition, except that when I took it to the range, I realized it's got a few problems: 1. Cartridges won't go into full battery.. I can slide the bolt forward, but it won't go down. Seems like headspace...

    BC for Federal Fusion

    Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I've noticed that Federal lists the loaded Federal Fusion 270 Win 130 grain bullet with a BC of .4 G1, but the bullet-only 130 grain .277 Fusion bullet is listed as .367 G1. Is this because the bullets are somehow different or an error on their...

    Explanation of Remington Woes

    So we all know Remington has run into some financial problems in the past years. I'm not sure if this has been posted or discussed, but I found it very interesting. I never understood how they hit financial hardship so quickly. It's a long article, but if you'd like to get to the point, start...

    Check Headspace after switching out bolt shroud?

    On my Savage 10, I just changed the bolt shroud from the .223 (with additional metal to keep the shroud from going back all the way) shroud to a standard .308 shroud. Do I need to have the rifle headspaced? If it matters, I had the barrel replaced with a match grade 260 Rem about 5 years...

    How do you level your scope?

    I'm curious what part of the scope you use to level it. I'm not necessarily asking about the whole process you go through.. just what part of the scope do you place your level on? The top of the turret with the cap on? The top of the turret with cap off? How do you know that part is level...

    Savage Bolt Front Baffle

    I'm hoping to confirm that the front baffle that is listed as for Savage long actions will also fit the short action bolts. I have a baffle that looks like this (I don't know how to confirm it's exacly the same - also, mine is stainless) on a short action bolt that was originally chambered...

    Looking for info on old .22

    I was recently was given this old .22 and am hoping you can help me understand how old it is, etc. I understand Western Field rifles to be more of a lower end model, but is it at all rare? It shows its age (see last pic), but overall it seems to be in reasonable shape. The 4x Mossberg scope...

    Probably Replacing the 30-06

    I've been having problems with my 30-06 hunting rifle and have decided I will replace it or rebarrel it. It's been my hunting cartridge for 20 years (not that I hunted most of those years) so I'm a big 30-06 fan. I'm also a fan of shopping around to see if any other cartridge fits my needs...

    Temp differences and MV

    I've gotten into handloading and have picked up a really accurate rifle. Having the accurate rifle has raised my confidence in my shooting ability since good, consistent groups are becoming the norm. I have long suffered from inconsistent and wandering groups with my hunting rifle though. So...

    PSAK-47

    I have been checking PSA's website for quite some time but the AK-47s only show as out of stock. Have they quit making them? I read tons of good reviews and can't find anything about them not producing anymore, so I'm confused. Thanks!

    Parallax setting changed after mounting on new rifle

    I have a Vortex Diamondback HP 4-16x42 that was on my 260 Rem. It's a Savage 10 action and was mounted with standard Leupold mount and rings. Long ago I put it on a lead sled and determined that the scope was parallax free at 100 yards when the side focus knob was set at 360 yards. Fairly far...

    Check my understanding on 6.5 Grendel

    Hello, I'm hoping someone can confirm what I understand about all the 6.5 Grendel variants. I've done a lot of reading, but mostly the conversation quickly turns into emotional arguing over specs and technicalities. That's not what I'm interested in. I'm really hoping this post completely...

    I know side focus distances are normally not accurate, but

    I know side focus distances are normally not accurate, but I'm curious how far off yours are? I have a Vortex Diamondback HP (decent scope I guess) and finally took the time to figure out what number on the side focus dial would correlate with actual distances. So I got out my laser range...

    Tract Optics Review?

    Does anyone have any experience with Tract Optics yet? Online reviews seem positive overall. Vortex is my normal go-to scope brand, but if they can provide a higher quality scope for less money, I'm certainly interested. They have a lifetime warranty regardless if you are first owner or not...

    Can I still get my barrel changed?

    I have a Rem 700 ADL chambered in 30-06 and I am considering have it re-barreled, possibly to another caliber. The only catch is about 12 years ago I used JB Weld to keep the scope base and mounts from coming loose. Call it a childhood indiscretion, call it stupidity, or call it whatever you...
