Thanks for all the input guys, gave it some thought and all, and I'm gunna go the AR-15 and 700 way. Going with an Armalite M-15 with a lighterish weight set up with 1-4 scope and a .308 700 SPS Varmint (glass and pillar bedded of course!) along with a 4-14 scope. If I ever get around to it I'll...

Hey fellow high roaders, Been a while since I've been on, so I'll just skip the boring crap and get straight to the good stuff. Here recently I got a job at a local gun shop and get an awesome discount (COST!!!) on anything in the store. Now I've been around long enough that I've got a...

Hi there, I know I'm probably not the first to ask this, but just figured I'd give it a shot. I'm starting to get a small fund set up to get a good pistol both for CC and general shooting, and as of now my favorite has been the 1911 format of pistol. The thing is that if I do plan to carry it...

Well, all I have/ probably ever will shoot is just going to be in the 55-70gr range anyhow so I shouldn't haved to worry about the round frag.ing on me.

Wow, thanks to all for replying, definately going with the rifle length gas now, after all the weakest that I'm gunna be shooting out of it is some American Eagle 55gr 5.56 stuff which I don't believe is too under powered. As far as the twist ratio, I wasn't too certain on whether or not the...

Hello all, I'm new to THR and sorta new to the whole Ar building thing as well, only tinkering and such with mine up until now. Here recently I have been seriously looking around at what parts to get for my first build, and one of the biggest things that I've been thinking about with it is were...
