    .338 lapua info

    I had looked into a bit and then realized that it's more expensive to buy loaded .338LM ammo than it is to buy .50BMG. Crazy.

    Noob Benchrest Shooting

    couple questions: Do you reload already? What rifles in what calibers do you have already? How long is your longest local range that you'll be shooting at? How often or how much do you plan on shooting? Are you recoil sensitive? What's your budget?

    Rem 600 bolt removal

    I don't know about a 600, but if that was a type-o and you meant 700, there's a little silver button in the trigger guard, in front of the trigger in the "ceiling" of the trigger guard. push it up and pull the bolt out.

    Ar Questions and price check. many pictures

    Like you said, it's hard to put a definite price on these fine rifles. However, speaking for me and only me, I can rate them in order of desirability. #1 for me would be the 16" HBAR with the M4A1 stock. I would pay up to $900 for this gun depending on vintage and manufacturer. #2 for me...

    Precision long-range shooting popularity surge?

    I think the recent surge in interest has a lot to do with the availability of affordable rifles capable of long range precision right out of the box. Nowadays, for less than, oh say, $1,200, you can have a rig capable of ringing the 1,000 yard gong with relative ease. The availability of...

    M24 sniper rifle retails for $7K - why is this?

    meh. I assembled a rifle using the same action that shoots better than the mil spec requirement for the M24 for less than $1,500. I get just under 1/3 MOA from a Remmy 700 SPS Varmint in a cheapy Choate stock with a $500 Millett scope. Some people just dig having the same stuff as our...

    iPhone / Android apps for the range?

    Same here! I love 'em both. Makes my cousin who I shoot with jealous with his Blackberry. :D I also agree that Andriod will eventually kill a good portion of the iPhone market. I've played with both extensively and Android wins hands down. Bobby

    And therein lies the flaw in your logic.

    Business owner surprises me!

    you're nicer than me. i'd oblige, and carry at work but only on the condition that she buy a gun, take a safety class and go to the range with you to learn to shoot it and carry it herself in her own business. i'm all for helping those who help themselves, but i'm not going to play armed...

    Best Caliber That Never Took-off

    i'd have to pick .400 Cor Bon and .257 Weatherby Magnum. the .257 is outstandingly flat shooting and effective on most North American game out to 500 yards. it's really too bad that ammo is so expensive and rifles chambered for it are so rare and expensive. throw a 139 grain Lapua Scenar in...

    .308 is $.37 a round @ AIM surplus

    ok, thanks for the clarification. i'll add that to the brain data base. sorry to have misled.

    New Marlin 981T .22 Bolt Action

    Very nice! I have the same gun and it's probably my favorite plinker. Great shooting gun. I have a cheapy Bushnell 3-9 on it and it shoots Ritz crackers at 50-100 yards all day long. I love the high capacity, the fact that it can take S,L&LR and it's big enough that it feels like a real rifle...

    problems with new rem x-pro trigger

    I had the X-Mark Pro on my rifle too and experienced the same thing. very inconsistent. i tried cleaning and lubing, and that helped, but it still wasn't the same pull each time. I eventually replaced it with a Tinmey. My local smith said there wasn't much he could do. They're just not very...

    Settled on a Super Sniper but what power?

    i'm a fan of magnification. if i were shooting 500 yards, i wouldn't go less than 24x. i have a 6-25x one my long range gun and i have only been able to shoot out to 300 yards so far. sometimes, i wish i had more, but 25x is enough to hit a man sized target out to 1,000 yards and beyond...

    Cop asks to see your CCW gun......what do you do?

    unless he has reasonable suspicion or probable cause, both of which are extremely unlikely for your average legal gun carrier, then i'd politely say that it's my policy that the gun doesn't leave the holster unless it's going to be used as it was designed to be used, ie: at the range, self...

    Let's see your tackdriver!

    i'll play too. mine's a budget build. it came to just at $1,600. rifle: Remington 700 SPS Varmint in .308 26" varmint contour barrel (same barreled action as the 700P) Choate Ultimate Varmint Stock with aluminum bedding block Millett LRS-1 6-25x56mm with illuminated mil-dot/bar reticle...

    What is this? $189,999.99 gun

    while i appreciate the talent it takes to make such a rifle, i think this guy is sitting on a $25-$40k rifle at best. especially in this economy. it has no significant historical value but it darn pretty. i have a feeling that if he quartered his asking price, it might sell. Bobby

    Gun Snobs lighten up!

    amen. price of the gun, nor the brand name determines how well it shoots. i use a $329 Verona semi-auto to shoot clays with and i consistently shoot in the high 80's to low 90's. and i'm not going to be heart broken if i drop it and scratch it. I'm all for spending as much as your heart...
