Here is more info: I did not fill out a form, I filled it out on their computer. You click a box and then it takes you to the next screen, so I'm sure I didn't miss a question. The problem is not that I'm not going because I'm inconvenienced, I'm leaving for a wedding in the morning and there...

So I sent my bolt action 30-06 to a gunsmith for some work, and had it shipped back to Cabela's because I needed an intermediary with an FFL license. When I went to pick up the rifle (which I have owned for 5 years) they ran a background check and made me fill out a 4473 through their computer...

I guess I thought it would be more comfortable? I don't have much experience with guns. right now the compact scope is resting on medium rings, so my head position is sort of high up. When I try and look through the scope--the reticle shifts around as my head leans from left to right. I thought...

Unfortunately there are no quality synthetic stocks out there for a ruger m77 tang safety. McMillan and Bell & Carlson only offer synthetics without cheekpieces, and I hate not having at least some form of cheekpiece. So I'm thinking about a boyds laminate stock.

If you guys were to hunt in very rugged terrain--the mountains and rainy forests of Washington state--would you use a blue rifle or a coated rifle? I'm upgrading my 30-06 to have a laminated stock to deal with the elements, but should I be coating the metal parts as well? The gunsmith...

Because it is a different model, I was just making sure. Perhaps the MK 1 and the MK II have different recoil pads, or perhaps not. If anyone knows chime in

Does anyone know what type of recoil pad this accepts? I want to replace the old one with something more absorbent but I'm not sure what size it is. Also any suggestions on recoil pads would be appreciated

I have acquired a new scope and I greatly want to install it. Problem is, around my area I should not be popping off alot of rounds because it is the middle of deer hunting season, and this is where I hunt. I have a magnetic bore sighter-- it has served me well in the past. When it read the...

There seem to be only a few good examples of straight pull actions, the most popular being the k 31 swiss. People still love the K 31 and it has a great reputation for accuracy and reliability. My question is: why doesn't remington, ruger, savage, etc. make a straight-pull action? every year...

Yeah its a 30-06 with 150 grains usually

I know that I have started threads with all sorts of scope questions, but hilariously enough I still have not bought a new scope. Nonetheless I am trying to get a new one before hunting season starts, so here the question begins. I have a regular 3-9x scope right now and it seems to work...

The vx 3 seems like a good option, but will it track as well as a nightforce? also what does the nightforce reticle look like when the illumination is off, is it dark black or is it kinda tough to see?

I have been looking desperately for a variable 1-4x or a 1.5-5x scope, and cant make a decision. I need one that can come with turrets or a custom BDC reticle, I wont be hunting at extremely long ranges but want to be able to have fun at the range. I am very interested in the sightron big...

I definitely agree with Lemmy. I own guns like all of us, but we must examine our position carefully and be self-critical when need be. Its fine to teach legal marksmanship, but we have to understand that we are teaching people how to skillfully use deadly weapons. I do not believe it is a...

Is it possible to have turrets installed into the sightron big sky 1-5x? I'd like to get some Kenton speed turrets but it doesn't seem to be something you can order standard from sightron

I mean fine for what my general shorter ranges would be.

Ok yeah you got me, its the VX 3. The duplex reticle seems fine by me

I am thinking about getting a 1.5-5x scope because I like its sleek and compact design. However I have only used scopes that max out at 9 or 10x. So what is the maximum range of this scope? how far away could you hit something with 4 or 5x zoom? I mean maybe a circle that is 12" in diameter

I have an older ruger m77 tang safety, it is the only gun I own. When I bought it, it grouped at about 2 inches. I did everything to it, had the action trued, new premium douglas floated barrel, and pillar bedded the action. The smith who did the job specialized in m77s, and he did a great job...

Around NY where I will hunt I think inside 200 yards. I first hunted on the west coast way up in the mountains of Washington, and we used to take really long shots at puddles over 500 yards away. I always was amazed by it and when ever since I've learned about ballistic compensation in scopes I...
