    My new Benelli SuperNova

    So I just bought a Benelli Super Nova. It was actually kind of a quasi emergency/impulse buy. Anyways, the stock is okay for me but it's far to long for my wife to hold it properly and to cycle a shell. Ive also been shooting an M4 regularly for the entirety of my 4 years as an infantry rifleman...

    Oil finish or high gloss lacquer?

    Well this is a lot to take in, I'm leaning for the oils but as I can tell there is a Lot more into it than I originally thought. Seeing as though I'm going for a Sako 85 deluxe when I get back from deployment, what steps would I take upon purchase to preserve the stock? Does it come finished to...

    Oil finish or high gloss lacquer?

    Aside from looks what are the differences? Are either more protective? More or less durable? Which last longer? Whatever knowledge y'all have on the goods and bass of the two. Be mindful it will be on a rifle that gets used.

    Adjustable vs. Single set trigger.

    Are there any major differences between the two besides the obvious? If I knew I was going to maintain 2.5 lbs on a trigger are there any positives or negatives to a single set aside from not being able to adjust?

    Sako 85 Deluxe 6.5x55 Swede

    Where can I find a place that sells the Sako 85 Deluxe chambered in 6.5? I've been looking all over and can't find anything. Is it just something that isn't carried and has to be special ordered.

    Is an ACOG worth it?

    Double naught spy, I challenge you to carry out and start smacking it against trees and rocks, running/jumping, knocking against walls etc. and see how well it holds a bzo after a couple of weeks.

    Is an ACOG worth it?

    Honestly, if you want some extremely accurate, durable, and low cost sights get some nice irons and learn how to use them well. If your eyes permit they're some of the best sights out there in my eyes

    Putting a Price on a "Priceless" M1917?

    You should absolutely try to get some pictures of this up. It sounds like something we would all be interested in seeing. I think the serial removal could be a bit of an issue.

    Is an ACOG worth it?

    I've had a few issue with the optic itself coming loose but some loctite helped with that, mine site on a rail adapter, the base model was designed for a carry handle. Many people I know and myself have had issues holding and actual adjusted zero. I can hit the Echo targets at 500 no problem but...

    Is an ACOG worth it?

    I've been using the ACOG on my M16a4 and my current M4 for about 3 years now and I would say I easily have at least a couple thousand hours of use out of them. When they sart getting a lot of use they no longer hold they're zero after a small amount of rough use. They're not meant to make firing...

    Winchester, Remington, Savage, Weatherby, Sako, or CZ bolt actions?

    I'm going to try my absolute hardest to do that tundra. I'm just mostly researching for a purchase within the next year. I'm going to focus on restoring my Mosin Nagant, when I get back from my deployment in Afghanistan I intend to make y final decision and purchase.

    Mannlicher stocks? Opinions and pictures?

    That's a really good looking rifle Mitch. Very nice. How do you like it?

    Winchester, Remington, Savage, Weatherby, Sako, or CZ bolt actions?

    Well I think I have a really good deal locked on for a nice scope. But it's certainly not 100%
