    Steiner Optics T5Xi?

    I thought I was set on a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x to pair with a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 CM but I see chatter on the Steiner Optics T5Xi 5-25x which retails for a couple hundred less and has a FFP. Anyone here have experience with them? Steiner military is GTG (for double the price) but...

    CZ 550 ejector issue

    Hoping someone here might have some intuition on this problem. My CZ 550 Safari in .375 H&H stopped ejecting today. The ejector is normally pushed down by the bolt when it is closed and pops back up along a raceway at the end of the bolt in time to kick out a spent shell. But now the ejector...

    http://www.stripes.com/report-pentagon-to-destroy-1b-in-ammunition-1.280372 How is this acceptable? Even foreign countries sell outdated surplus to us, but the domestic government refuses to sell ammo stocks that we paid for back to us?

    Savage Model 12 vs GAP/Surgeon

    Looking for an honest marginal value assessment. I want to ring small pieces of steel at 600-1000 yards and my R700 5R in .308 isn't doing it. I'm thinking about a 6.5 Creedmoor. I don't reload due to other time-consuming commitments. I'll be shooting the factory loads only (probably the...

    POI change when using a sling?

    Hi, would like some feedback on this issue. I zero all my rifles rested on sandbags. Sometimes I shoot offhand with a sling and I often see a change in POI, sometimes drastic. Two examples are a AR-15 (govt profile barrel) with a Turner sling, and a Steyr Scout with a Galco safari sling. -...

    Steyr Scout or not?

    I've been looking for a lightweight hunting rifle for some time. My first outing was with a scoped K31 which was a bit of a chore. For the new rifle I'm settled on the .308 Winchester cartridge since I am heavily invested in it. I am not a large person (5'10") so I would prefer something...

    Cost to blue a pistol slide?

    I recently bought a HK P9S that has a fair amount of holster wear. I'm thinking about having the slide restored if I like how it shoots. What is the price range for that kind for work? There aren't that many gun shops around here that do metal work and I don't want to overpay.

    How many stamps?

    I've been looking at the TP-9 for some time. I would like to put a suppressor, forward grip and shoulder stock on it. Something like this: http://www.dsarms.com/BT-TP9SF-Select-Fire-Tactical-Pistol-9mm---BTTP9SFSBR/productinfo/BTTP9SFSBR/ How many tax stamps is that? I was thinking two...

    Fn slp?

    I'm thinking seriously about purchasing a FN SLP shotgun. Anyone have positive or negative feedback on that piece? The Benelli M4 is out of my price range but I'm looking for something equally reliable and soft-shooting.

    Semi-auto 7.62 recommendations?

    I'm in the market for a semi-auto 7.62 SHTF rifle, but I have only found the FN AR and the DPMS. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I read that: - FN AR is difficult to break down and maintain, requires tools - DPMS 308 are heavy and unwieldy. I'm also concerned with gas face on the DPMS. Is that...
