1 in 9 is a good all-around twist for an AR, and is probably the way to go for your application. You should do fine with bullets in the 45-69gr range and maybe a bit beyond(on either end). If you are going to shoot only light, screaming-fast varmint bullets like 40gr Blitz Kings you might want...

The Konus is a great deal for the money, especially through jarheadtop.com. Jim Owens will buy it back for $100 and donate it to a junior team if you ever decide to upgrade down the road. For the use you describe it should do you just fine. Keep in mind that there will be days(foggy, rainy...

True enough, true enough.;) Good luck, Erud

Check out a local NRA highpower match and you might change your mind entirely about mounting a scope. It is a very satisfying feeling to hit targets out to 600 yds with open sights using only a sling and your self for support. You might be very surprised at the kind of accuracy that is...

I realize that this topic has just about run it's course, but I just wanted to add my $.02, and possibly brag just a little. 1MOA is definitely attainable, as is 1/2MOA - just a little harder. I have had several rifles that would shoot sub-MOA regularly. I don't tend to keep rifles for very...

You'd have to call Creedmoor to get a firm price, but if I recal correctly, you can expect to shell out $4-6K for a new one.... By most accounts they are worth it - particularly if you are into Hi-Power shooting. Good luck, Erud

Joe Larson at LTM Refinishing does great work - especially if you are going for a "tactical" look. Here's his web page: http://www.larsontactical.com/ He just did an AICS 1.5 for me, should have it back this week.... Erud

As far as the battery life goes..... I really don't ever turn it on unless someone wants to look at it. All of my shooting is done at an outdoor range in the daytime so the illumination is really not needed for me. It's a regular etched-reticle scope so you don't need to turn it on unless...

It is a good scope. Kind of the best of both worlds between an Aimpoint and a ACOG. Pretty fast acquisition at 1x with both eyes open but you can still get pretty precise at longer distances on 3x. It is very rugged/solid. Also quite heavy for it's size. Some complain about the relatively...

You are right, they are both top of the line. If you were unhappy with either, I would suspect that you were suffering from a psychological condition. That being said, I try to support American companies whenever possible and would opt for a USO SN3 3.8-22. Also by all reports, USO's customer...

Had the same problem on 2 of mine and both were fixed with loctite. Since that didn't work on yours, you could maybe try something like JB Weld or a bedding compound. Good luck! Erud

I was asking the same question about a month ago while looking to re-stock my 700P. I was not able to test either stock and I decided on the AICS 1.5 based on reviews and other info I found online. Price was also a factor, and the money saved on gunsmithing to bed the action and install a DBM...

I wouldn't automatically assume sarcasm. I have known plenty of gun owners/enthusiasts who think there should be all kinds of restrictions on gun ownership - limits on caliber, limits on # of guns you can own, 1 gun per month, etc. These all sound reasonable to some gun-owning folks - mostly...

Better re-read the first 2 sentences of his post... Erud

I don't mean to take the thread off topic here, but Eightball, you really need to spend some time thinking about how our country was founded. The 2nd Amendment was written into the Bill of Rights to ensure that we the people would always have the means to resist and if necessary, overthrow our...

HS Precision makes a good detachable mag setup for the Rem 700 that uses 4 or 10 round mags. I had one on my 700P and it worked great - fed better than the factory internal mag. The AICS/Badger system is nicer but way more expensive and requires gunsmithing to install. The HS was $210 from...

You could certainly do worse, as it is a light and handy weapon, but finding any ammo once yours runs out will likely be a problem. I would personally prefer something chambered in 5.56mm, 7.62 x 51mm or 7.62 x 39mm due to likely availability of ammo... Good luck, Erud

The SA58 is an excellent weapon - wish I still had mine. I have recently been thinking the same way you are - maybe I should get another one while I still can. I don't have any #'s on velocities, but in my opinion the 21" barrel balances better, recoils much less and is quite a bit quieter...

I'll take a stab at this. Cleaning the way the manual describes is a good way to go, but you certainly don't need to do that every day. In your situation, I would get the $12 boresnake from Wal-Mart and run it through the barrel(with oil on the "brush" parts) 3 times or so at the end of the...

Check out this site: http://www.quarterbore.com/library/articles/rem700trigger.html Very detailed instructions on adjusting the factory Remington trigger. It's pretty simple if you follow the instructions carefully. If you are inexperienced with this type of thing, I would suggest...
