Local person has a NIB Remington XCR 338 Lapua mag that caught my eye. He is willing to trade so we talked today and discussed some particulars of what I had to put on the table. This is an expensive rifle and even more expensive to shoot. I have a Remington 308 5r that is my...

Let me make this very clear from the start...this is not an ego trip. In fact, the exact opposite would be true. If you choose to do the legwork, you can review my posts and find what brand of rifle I prefer. I have had this brand and style since my first deer rifle at age 13. As time progressed...

Here is a link to the senate roll call regarding the Inhofe amendment 139 to support the 2nd amendment and not participate in the U.N. arms trade treaty. http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=113&session=1&vote=00091 Both of my senators voted...

As the title asks, I am hoping for specific information regarding powder(s) suitable for shooting 40 grain vmax bullets out of my 22-250. Most of the powders I have read about seem to be more suited towards the 55 grain range. IMR 3031 has been recommended as a potential propellant. Also H414...

Central Kansas was no different than much of the country this past summer. We suffered through a miserable drought and scorching temperatures. This obviously put quite a strain on the food supply for our abundant coyote population which in turn made them take risks I have never before seen them...

I missed a dandy one of these on a local classifieds website a few weeks ago. Twiddle my thumbs too long trying to make up my mind. Of course now that I want it, its gone to a new home. Looks like there is a decent handful of them on gunbroker. I don't want a new one though. I want one that is...

We always discuss how accurate this rifle is vs that rifle. How well these bullets perform at this twist rate or that velocity. We often see pictures of targets with nothing but bug-hole sized cloverleaf patterns. What I am asking is how accurate are - you - with your rifle. I see a lot of guys...

I don't know why but I like the idea of this gun. If there was one in stock anywhere local I'd probably buy it after getting to fondle it. But there's none to be found around here. I think it would be a lot of fun as the lil 22 is my favorite plinking round. I grew up shooting my old man's s&w...

A few weeks ago I made a post about the hornady overall length gauge. I bought it along with a handful of modified cases and the necessary bullet comparators. Finally had time this afternoon to use the new tools and the o.a.l. gauge is very easy to use and the comparators work nicely as designed...

I spent some time last evening reading reviews of different overall length gauges on sites such as midway etc. I looked at the hornady gauge quite a bit but the reviews made it sound somewhat fragile. Is this the case and if so would you still recommend it? If not, please recommend a better...

There has been a lot of conversations on here about what PSA lacks on the service side. With that in mind I felt something good should be acknowledged. I ordered two stripped lowers during their Christmas sale. A disclaimer on their website said no lowers would ship until 1/15/12. Surprise...

I ordered a couple palmetto state stripped lowers as my Christmas present to myself. Don't know how i'll configure them right now but I'm really liking some of the offerings from rock river so I expect to use several of their pieces in the puzzle. I do like the stuff DPMS has on their website...

I think I'll buy another AR-15. This is going to be a coyote hunting rifle because as my abilities at calling have improved I've seen more doubles come running and I'm bringing them closer. A lot closer. Last time out I brought two with twenty feet of me as they ran by trying to find me. I...

I came across this rifle a while back and actually like it quite a bit. This thread isn't about DPMS quality or any of that. I've owned two of them and they are suitable for what I ask of them. However, I have questions about this rifle. First of all, I prefer lighter bullets for my coyote...

I spoke w/ a leupold rep the other day regarding scope options. I have a 4-12x40 ao vx-ii that I have been very pleased with. The only time I've noticed a shortcoming with it was late last winter calling coyotes at about 1 am under a bright full moon. However, it got the job done & I dropped one...

When I was younger money was a lot harder to come by. I still work a full time job with a very modest salary that pays my bills. However, I also have two businesses I've started on the side. (No I'm not selling amway garbage out of my car) I started one five years ago and I am seeing some...

I know its a vanilla topic but i can't sleep so indulge me as I wait on the sleep fairy to get here. As for the rifle, I don't mean some one-off millionaire's rifle. Also it has to be one you own or owned in the past. Doesn't have to be special...just different. My favorite is my old skeleton...

A neighbor of mine has a very nice remington 700 bdl 25-06 w/ a redfield 3-9x40 scope. He asked me to zero the scope for him last year & I was happy to oblige him. It is an older combo that I would guess to be mid 80's to early 90's production. When i began shooting, I quickly found out this...

I do not have a semi auto in my line up currently & am leaning towards one of these two. I had two ar's and have decided to go a different way. This will be a short range rifle outfitted with a red dot only. Whichever I choose, I will be laying in a few cases of ammo for it as well as spare...

This is a question I wrestle with on occasion. I have many rifles; some in redundant calibers albeit in different configurations. There are three or four that I have considered sending out the door because I never shoot them. Make no mistake, they are good rifles but they hold zero sentimental...
