    Does this m14 load sound alright to you guys?

    About to cook up my first batch ever for the m14. (norinco 18.5") I hear the 4895's are good but I have a 4 lb of IMR-4064 and I want to finish that before I buy more. Hodgdon's 4th edition has a load that Im thinking about- Ill start off loading 100 rounds of this and when my rifle...

    My scope is 1" and rings are 30mm, options?

    Im taking the rear sight off for clearance and putting a pair of EGW aluminum rings on. Seems wrong to remove the sights from a battle rifle.

    Shotguns- 14" vs 18"

    What are the merits of each? I am currently rocking a 14" fabarm as it is the perfect wilderness defense weapon in my mind for yogi( with the right slugs-brenneke) Quick to point, quicker follow up shots, light and easy to carry. What am I giving up with this 14" barrel is the question...

    light 1" rings for picatinny rail

    So Im trying to mount a 1" scope on a picatinny rail. The minimum distance between the rail and the bottom of the scope is o.305". Can anyone suggest a lightweight ring that can handle a bit of recoil from an m14 Jordon

    My scope is 1" and rings are 30mm, options?

    thanks boys. I resist the milpitary scope thing- mainly for weight. Its an m14 with an 18" barrel so I dont expect it to reach out to 1,000 though I do plan on accurizing it over time/reloading so I do expect it to be capable of reaching out. So talley lightweights are the best option then...

    My scope is 1" and rings are 30mm, options?

    The rings I want to use with this scope are the nightforce ultralite. Mainly because they're light, second theyre supposed to be strong. I hear there are reducers available to fit a 1" scope in 30mm rings- are these a good option? Also- do they add weight? Wonder if Im better off just getting...

    which shotgun sights for close engagements/slugs?

    heheh well good for you guys that have ghost rings...but you fail at reading comprehension :) Yeah Im wondering about the bead because Im shooting slugs- not shot. Its essentially a rifle this thing. Can I put rounds on a moving target(bears head) with just a bead is the question...not sure if...

    which shotgun sights for close engagements/slugs?

    This is my bear/zombie paranoia gun- a fabarm 14" barrel(Yup- Canadian) Im looking for the best sights for close up quick shots- not sure if that would be a bead because I have trouble snap shooting things at 30 ish yards and even closer with a bead. I just have trouble aiming at all with it-...

    Who makes a great 2-7x scope for 500 ish

    Im fixing to put one of these on my m1a zombie/deer rifle. Close enough for the zombies and enough range for deer- should be great as I'm into practicing offhand and wont be doing much long range stuff. Im a scope newb so no clue here...opinions welcome!

    Whats a good ultralight scope/rings?

    Im scoping my m1a and its a heavy beast! Looking to cut a bit of weight on her so I dont get any more exercise than I need to :) I hear the m1a recoil is pretty intense for most scopes so 1- are light scopes wimpy? 2- are light rings/scopes worth it or will I experience wandering zero issues...

    Duracoat, armacoat, KG cote, whatcoat?

    Interesting variety of responses. any of these will likely work for me as it isnt going into intense military duty just some hunting + the odd exposure to Canadian cold. Since Im new about this how about receiver painting? I can imagine the aperture sight and receiver parts not taking well to...

    Shotgun guys- 3 or 3.5 inch guns?

    Im considering a supernova tactical for a "bear safety" gun and figured you competitive folks would know the best. Should I go for a shotgun that I love less that is 3 only or... get the benelli supernova that I like that is 3.5. Do you worry about the extra pull length as far as short...

    Duracoat, armacoat, KG cote, whatcoat?

    Overwhelming amount of products out there right now. Im looking to do an m1a receiver in matte black, stock in sage. Which of these do yall suggest and how to apply- I have a shop compressor and dont wanna spend 200 on a fancy air gun

    Which scope for my m1a?

    I am building up a rig for all around fun- deer hunting, target shooting, zombie defense. It's an 18" bbl with arms 18 scope mount. I definitely dont want to go crazy big as I will be shooting out to 300 ish(which is far for me at my current skill level) and usually much less(100 yards)...
