    Flattest Trajectory?

    I would also throw in my vote for the .260. They have the flattest trajectories of any of the non-magnum long range precision rounds. Tactical precision rifle competitions are being won pretty regularly with the 6.5mm bullets.

    Have you ever done something that you wish you had NOT

    I loaned my brother my Remington M700 VS .223 varmint rifle a number of years back. When I loaned it to him, it shot 3/8 MOA. When I got it back about 5 1/2 months later after completing Army Basic and AIT (OSUT), I had a rifle with rust pitting the exterior that was shooting 1 MOA groups. No...

    Real of fake Aimpoint?

    That's how it's supposed to mount on a LaRue LT659 mount. And the CompM4 can be purchased from Aimpoint WITHOUT the QRP2 mount. I bought my M4S without and slapped on a LT659. For cryin' out loud.... You are aware that there are two models of the CompM4, right? That Aimpoint is marked as a...

    KAC rail question...

    Since most people hold a rifle handguard on the bottom, it's advantageous to have a heatguard on the bottom rail to keep temps down for the comfort of the shooter's hand. A lot of the heat generated from ARs comes from the top, because you the hot gas going into the gas block and back through...

    Reloading a rifle with the shooting hand

    If you have a proper sling, you should have no reason to be losing control of the front of the weapon by taking your hand off of it. It helps to tuck the stock under your armpit, tilt the muzzle upward and forward at a 45 degree angle, and rotate the rifle to the left anywhere from 45-90...

    "Best Defense", poor footwork.

    I think that it's splitting hairs. It's a minor issue that really can be read any way you want to. I'm more annoyed by the constant overuse of this "balance of speed and precision" drill by Rob Pincus on that TV show. It's like they have to do it EVERY episode. Stop already!! We get it-...

    magpul open sights

    The MBUS loses precision due to the small aperture hole being slightly larger. Standard A2 small apertures range from .060"-.065" (manufacturer dependent). MBUS small apertures are .070" (so are Troys, for that matter). When talking about precision, hundredths and thousandths can make a...

    Remington 700 SPS Tactical vs 700 Police

    First off, are we talking about the 700P with the 26" barrel, or the 700P LTR with the 20" barrel? If money is tight, I would recommend going with the SPS and build it as you go along and money becomes available. The start-up costs are lower, but you will get a rifle with sufficient capability...

    Red dot temptation?

    I use Aimpoint Micros or M4S sights specifically because of the long battery life and the die-hard reliability that I have experienced from Aimpoint. I find the red dot to be extremely fast, yet simple to use. The advantage that I get from an RDS is worth every cent of the cost of the sight...

    EOTech vs Aimpoint

    This is a topic that has already been debated to death on every forum on the internet, including this one. But I'll give you Cliff's Notes. Aimpoint: single dot and ultra long battery life EOTech: 65moa/1moa circle dot reticle but with very short battery life Conclusion: Ford vs Chevy...

    Long-Range Scope for .300 Weatherby Mag

    The .300 Weatherby will have a pretty flat trajectory, and you can get a scope with a BDC reticle that will allow you got get out pretty far. However, if you want to get there using elevation adjustment, you would do well to get a tactical scope with at least a 30mm tube. For Nikon, the only...

    magpul open sights

    To my knowledge, they're on the same plane. It's not really a huge issue though, as Magpul sights generally don't make great permanent sights for extended use. They get you in the ball park and are "minute of man" at best. They're called backup sights for a reason. Just throwing that out there.

    GAP optic??

    What Zeiss were you looking at? There is a big difference between a Conquest and a Hensoldt. If it's for a GAP rifle, talk to GAP about the new Bushnell HDMR 3.5-21x50 with their own design GAP reticle. If you have a choice between several optics, I would encourage you to look for...

    Nee help spotting scope

    20-60x is pushing it a little bit for a field scope when you're moving around on foot a lot. Most people who do a lot of movement on foot when hunting opt for a good set of binoculars, and then a compact spotting scope in the 30x-45x range for the top end. If you want a scope that goes up to...

    Laping scope rings??

    Lapping involves putting a special tube or cylinder through the scope rings with some polishing compound and essentially sanding/polishing the insides of the rings to ensure that the insides are perfectly aligned with each other. This prevents putting any stress on the scope tube, which can...

    AR15 buffer Q?

    As stated above, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. You should only be changing components if you are trying to remedy a problem. However, you can replace your buffer with various others to change the feel of the rifle. Spikes Tactical uses HDTP in their buffers, and they have multiple weights-...

    M1 Garand vs M1A Super match

    If your goal is to get a bolt action rifle, I would have to ask what kind of rifle you are aiming towards. The M1A Super Match is essentially an open sight target rifle. If you want to do competitive CMP or Service Rifle competition, this is the rifle to keep. However, if you want magnified...
