All steel of the same alloy does rust the same. Most barrels are made of the same steel. They are either stainless or blued. If they are blued, they are pretty much blued the same and resist rust the same IF they are clean and are wearing a thin coat of oil which I am sure you must know you...

Give me a break, China? No! There is way too much "I heard" on these forums with very little empirical evidence to back up the "I heard" comments.

The rust issue puzzles me. I have owned rifles with barrels in the white. I have owned very old rifles with no bluing left on them and have never had a rust problem. The physics of rust or oxidation of steel are finite. Most if not all hard steels will rust at the same rate if exposed to...

With optics, you get what you pay for. I have a Nikon Monarch 5-20 on my 308 and a Weaver Grand Slam Varmint 6-24 on my AR and am happy with both. Bushnell's Elite line of scopes are high quality and a great choice. If I had the $$ I would buy a Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16. It has a hluge...

The Bushnell 6500 Elite line have 80" of adjustment. That is more than any other scope I have found yet. You are looking at close to $700 for a variable power scope with the kind of power you will need.

What would you recommend? I can move the Monarch to the AR if needs be. I have a Weaver on the AR 6-20 but it is 14.5 inches and too long for the rifle. I would appreciated your thougts.

I have read a bunch about barrel length and velocity / accuracy. A longer barrel in a .308 doesn't make much difference at all. Actually, the dillfference between 26" and 20" is about 50 or less fps. In terms of accuracy, the physics are the same and it all comes down to the shooter and...

I bought a Rem SPS 20" Tactical, w/o the threaded barrel. I started the break in with Rem. UMC white/green box 150s not expecting much. I did the usual shoot 3-4 and clean etc. At about 15 rounds things got better! I moved the target back from about 50 yards to 100 and changed to Federal 180...

I have a Ranchland 20" in .308. I have been careful breaking it in and have managed to get a couple of 1" groups on a good day. This is the question. It has a Hogue stock and is supposedly free floated. The trigger is very nice and I have a Nikon Monarch 5-20x44 on it. I think however that...

Yes, I cleaned every 5 rounds for 20 and then shot another 20. I waited for the barrel to cool between strings. I took it out again today and fired another 10 or so with 165 Horandy SSTs. I came in right at 1" MOA but could have been better. The wind was still up a bit and I was not on my...

I just bought a Howa Ranchland in .308. My first trip into the desert was less than thrilling. It was very windy which made it hard to hold on target. I shot a box of cheap Rem. Green Box FMJ's to season the barrel and to get on paper. While I was on paper, I was all over it. I shot a half a...

I have a Bushmaster with an 18" Douglas Premium Match barrel. It is a superb rifle. For the guy that said AR's are combat accurate, I am sure there are a ton of shooters that are shooting groups as good as most bolt guns with the exception of benchrest rifles. If you have good glass, good...

I hate to admit it but I shot a couple of boxes of Wolf 55gr HPs on Sunday. They were very accurate. In fact, they were more accurate than some more expensive rounds I shot the same day. Having said that, the PMC FMJ 55gr shot a .4 inch group. They are a little more expensive but I have the...

The pictures and description of the Geissel installation are incredible. They are beyond helpful. I am tempted by the Timmney and the CMC but the idea of a two stage in the 2.5 pound range for slow fire is what has me moving in that direction. The Jard is also ajustable via the different...

I am fairly new to AR's. I just bought a barely used Bushmaster w/ a stainless 18" match barrel. I mounted a Weaver grand slam varmit scope on and am good to go with the exception of the heavy stock trigger. I plan to shoot targets, and varmints by the way and the current trigger won't get it...

I just put a Silver Reserve, 20 guage, used on layaway. I sold a Winchester Model 25 in 20 guage which I loved. Times were tough and I needed the $$. I would love to hear everyones thoughts and experiences on this shot gun. It seems like a good value. Thanks, Dana

There is no rust on it. One guy suggested that I put a coat of paste wax on it to help retain whatever finish is left and to create a protective coat against moisture when I am in the field. The stock is worn and chipped bit as you would expect from a 70 year old gun. There looks to have...

I just picked up a Savage Fox Model B. Judging by the city it was made in, Utica NY, I am guessing that it was made between 40' and 46'. It is a 2 3/4 chambered gun with what I think is worn cut checkering. It locks up very tight. and while having seen a lot of use over the years, shoots like a...

Wow what huge differences in opinion. I for one shoot casual NRA competitions in a league. That is not the kind where you see Olympic class rifles with electronic triggers but just about everything under the sun. What most of the top shooters use are variations of the Ruger 10/22, bull...
