    Did I just screw up?

    I have a RRA TacOp2 (I didn't come up with the name, I just shoot the darn thing). I've never had a failure even when going three thousand rounds between cleaning. My barrel still shoots sub MOA with bulk M193. I have a buddy who has a Bushmaster Varminter. It came with a large burr in the...

    So proud...

    Speaking of protection...I remember the first time we went hunting, he was sitting about 4 feet to the left of the end of my muzzle. I was shooting an AR with a pretty mean muzzle brake. When we sat down I asked him if he wanted some plugs, we declined. I only let out one shot, but every time...

    So proud...

    Met this friend over a year ago. He was a total fudd who only owned guns for hunting. Now he's one of my best shooting buddies. Just doing my part in spreading the disease. :evil:

    For God's sakes, why flathead screws?

    I remember when I was helping a buddy set up the Mec-Loader that his grandfather sent him, he saw a flathead screw and said "Holy <deleted>, this thing's ancient!"

    .300 wsm

    I have a friend who has a .300 WSM in a rechambered Rem700 that I steal whenever I can. He put a simple generic Remington recoil pad on it and personally I think it is an absolute joy to shoot. I can shoot it all day. Once he hit a deer broadside and it pulled all the innards out the exit...

    Help. My 30-06 is beating me to death

    I'd suggest a recoil pad. A friend of mine has a 300 WSM with just a generic Remington recoil pad; I'm 6', 185lbs and I will shoot that thing all day. He loads his rounds hot too, it feels like getting hit in the shoulder with a sledgehammer made of marshmallows. I absolutely love it. As far as...

    General use Rifle

    I know you said no plastic, but I really feels like you're asking for an AR to me. My AR is my main deer rifle, more than enough power, but very lightweight and easy/fun to shoot. With the adjustable stock, low recoil, and countless ambidextrous options, it is ideal for a small framed lefty such...

    Would it be practical?

    Is the trigger going to suck?

    [Titans Workshop of Horrors] The Quadpod Setup

    You really only need three points of contact (two legs on the bipod and the shooter) for a stable shooting platform. If you use good shooting technique the other two legs are redundant at the very least. Physically two of the legs wouldn't even touch the ground if you have an elevation change...

    Random Sierra GameKing keyhole

    Agreed. Let's just both hope that our events were caused by sun rays hitting swamp gas at a certain angle while the planets were aligned in a certain way causing our bullets to do strange things.

    Random Sierra GameKing keyhole

    Thanks for the word of caution, I will keep that in mind. My keyhole was exactly in the shape of the bullet, through the target and all the way through the wood.

    Stainless steel media?

    I've had identical results as BoKnows. SS media is awesome stuff.
