I'll pipe in as an aspiring student of the NRA high power mid range prone game. If you've ever had to remove a chambered round and had it come apart and spill powder in your action (don't ask me how I know) you might be less enamored of "jamming". I still hear competitors talk about jamming but...

Here's a pull quote from an accurate shooter article on the primer shortage. It suggests that Remington ammo production lines are ramping back up under new management, whether that includes my dwindling stash of Remington 7 1/2 match primers remains to be seen: There is some good news however —...

I agree 100% with the purchase of this FX12i. It had the largest impact on my group size as I pursued accuracy in the precision rifle game. I have the exact same setup with the scale and trickler but not the auto dispenser. I use a lee dipper to throw a slightly underweight charge then tweeser...

I had to send my blackhawk 45 Colt with the convertible 45 ACP cylinder back to Ruger, both cylinders were similarly out of spec. They took care of it promptly at no charge. I did buy the pistol new but I don't remember them asking for proof of purchase. Try contacting customer support, it's...

Another recommendation for Ducot shooting glasses. I ordered them in bifocal and was really unhappy. I called and they did them over at no charge. Sterling customer service in this day and age. Additionally, the ability to raise the glasses higher on the face off the adjustable nose pad thing is...

My funnest firearm is my CZ 527 in 7.62x39. The set trigger will spoil you and its so cheap to shoot. I never regret taking it to the range for some plinking fun. I worked up a 1moa handload with RL7 and Hornady 123gr SST's. Fun gun!

Hands down the worst factor trigger was on a Henry Single Shot in 308 I bought over the summer. There were some threads over on castboolits website on how to swap out the springs but I started getting light primer strikes (Winchester Primers) and never anywhere near a decent trigger. I would up...

I remember reading this from the April 24th White Oak Armaments newsletter I received via email regarding twist rate for 224 Valkyrie. Interesting and pertinent to the thread so I thought I'd add it. It might be worth waiting for a 1 in 6.5 twist barrel from White Oak if you want to shoot heavy...

JBM Ballistics is my go to calculator: http://jbmballistics.com/ballistics/calculators/calculators.shtml

Another CZ527 owner. Fitted it with Skinner rear peep, fantastic rifle and sight combo. The most fun per pound in my safe!

I am a Florida resident traveling to Atlanta for thanksgiving to see my daughter and shiny new son and law. I would like to look at a new long gun to add to the collection and wondered if you could recommend a gun store that might be running Black Friday deals. I'll be in Decatur but wouldn't...

Second on the Tikka, that's the route I went in 308 for a dedicated F-class rifle. I put mine in a Manners stock with AICS mag compatability and rebarreled with a heavy Bartlein at 28" If your looking for best barrel life 308 is going to fit that bill as well as wider availability of components...

Having bought two chinese inexpensive red dot sight's I've decided to take the plunge and pick up an Aimpoint. What do you think my chances are of getting a better deal on an Aimpoint T2 if I wait for a Black Friday holiday sale and where should I be scouting; Palmetto State Armory, SWFA, Amazon...?

You might want to look at a Sig P938 and the SAS version specifically. You'll need to train with the 1911 style safety.

My CZ 527 7.62x39 also went back to the factory. Right out of the box the bolt would not close with any of the three factory brands of Ammo I tried. They fixed it in a week. It now works fine but feeds brass cased ammo much more smoothly as one might expect. I invested in 100 Lapua cases from...
