All, I'm new to the long range optics world and need your help. It seems there are so many scopes to choose from I just feel lost! I'm looking for a scope in the $600-$700 range to be mounted over a Savage .308 rifle. My wish list for the scope is as follows: -Variable Power: any...

Good morning and Happy New Year!!! I am in need of about 30 - 40 dummy rounds in .45-70. I'd prefer the rounds to have the spent primer still in the case if at all possible, and I'd need the rounds delivered inside of 3 weeks. I'm not terribly partial as to the weight of the bullet, just as...

Taliv, I am seriously considering the SAFS in Camp Perry this summer. Do you know if there is any sort of shuttle that runs from the Cleveland airport to the base? I'd be flying in so flight + rental car = too much $$$ to justify spending with the wife. Thanks all for your responses. So...

Evening all! I am looking at picking up an ar-15 for use in high power competition. I have narrowed my choice down to a RR National Match AR, but I do have a couple questions (first ar style rifle, so I'm in uncharted territory here). A bunch of the high power guys swear by...

I took my 20" barrel 16ga '97 Winchester (made in 1907) to shoot trap not too long ago. I showed up in shorts and a t-shirt with a 103 year-old short barreled shotgun (and received the "is this guy serious" look from the other shooters) and shot 14/25 against guys wearing those fancy hats with...

Why you gotta make me tear up at work!?

Evening! Is it possible to replace the folding stock of a Yugo M70 with a fixed stock? Reason I ask is that there are optic mounting rails that require an AK to have a fixed stock to which the rail mounts. I've got an underfolder and I may be interested in switching it to a fixed stock.

RATS!!! I just read that this mount will not work for an underfolder AK. :( Any other suggestions from the board?

All, Up until recently I've been a huge proponent of the AK rifle. Larger diameter projectile, great reliability, and (with the Yugo underfolder) ease of concealment if needed. But the problem I am coming into lately is mounting optics. I've purchased a mount which replaces the rear...

Thanks guys!! Exactly what I was looking for (bonus points for pictures)!!!

All, To this point I've pretty much been an AK guy, but I've got an itch to get an AR lately. My question is if you have an AR with a detachable handle and a front sight, do you have to remove the front sight if you wanted to remove the handle and use a red dot scope? Probably a dumb...

Afternoon all! It seems as though I have been bitten by this .45-70 bug, and my only recourse is purchasing a rifle to sooth my discomfort. :evil: At first, my only consideration was a modern repro of the Springfield Trapdoor, as the ability to shoot smokeless loads would make it easier...

I have a love hate relationship with my Mosin...so I'd go Enfield. My Mosin is pretty much as accurate as any other milsurp I own (except the K31) and it's cheap and fun to shoot. However, it's mechanical issues (read sticky bold) put me in last place at my most recent Military Vintage Rifle...

thanks! all i needed to know!

Can the same dies be used for 9mm and .380acp?
