    Nightforce scope issue with 50 bmg

    I just mounted my new Nightforce Scope with the Eratac 20 moa mount on my Barret M82A1 50 bmg. The scope is a Nightforce nx8 4-32 x 50 with a zero stop. The issue I am having is at 250 yards…. With the elevation turret turned DOWN all the way I am shooting about 30 inches high. I am at lost of...

    Barrett 107 50 BMG won’t cycle....

    I had posted a while back about how I was considering purchasing a used Barrett 107. Well.... I wanted to test shoot it over Christmas to make sure I wanted it before purchasing. It’s a good thing I did because it won’t cycle through. I am unable to shoot more than one round without manually...

    Might purchase a Barrett M107 50 BMG. Advice please!

    I have always wanted a semi auto Barrett 50 BMG (M107 or 82a1) ever since I went to the gun show at Knob Creek many years ago. I could just never bring myself to spend $8,000 plus on a gun. I have recently come upon an opportunity where I can purchase one (M107) from a person who owes me favors...

    Just inherited my grandpa's 1861 Colt revolver… need help!

    Hey guys, I did a search on this forum and looked at the Colt serial number sticky on this forum and am still stumped. My uncle came by the other day to give me my grandpa's pistol. It was given to my grandpa by his grandmother. I am told by my uncle that it is a 1861 model. I went to the...

    What shell plate holder for 50 Beowulf???

    I googled and also used the search function and cannot find a shell plate holder for my 50 beowulf. I am assuming that since the 50 Beowulf is rimmed for a 7x39 that a shell plate holder for a 7x39 is what I need for my 50 Beowulf???? Can anyone confirm this? Thanks in advance!!!

    Bullet puller vs RCBS Bullet Puller with collet

    One of the very last things that I have yet to order is a bullet puller. As always I was doing research on the different bullet pullers and while the normal hammer style bullet puller seems to work alright.... it seems very neanderthal and oftentimes takes many attempts. It seems as if the...

    Confused about deburring!

    Hey guys I just ordered my press, trimmer along with a slew of reloading stuff!!! I have not ordered a deburring tool as I am confused about that. When I googled deburring tool all I see is a bit which looks like something that you put in a drill or inside your trimmer. What do I need to get...

    Help me decide on a carry pistol!!!

    I was set on the Springfield Armory EMP for a carry pistol, but am rethinking my choice. When I do carry I typically carry my Glock 23, but my use for this other carry pistol that I am going to buy next is not to actually carry. It would be for other circumstances such as carrying with me in my...

    Need a ultra cool gun to add to my collection!!!

    Long story shot..... I was set on a Wilson Combat 1911 and I was going to custom order one (especially since I am left handed) and was told it was a 24 month waiting list so I have decided against that. I have looked for a solid 3 months on gunbroker for the one that I wanted with the exact...

    Need suggestions for Ultra compact 1911 for carry use.

    I have 5 handguns and my smallest one is a Glock 23 and the biggest one being a S&W 500 mag lol. Although my Glock 23 is technically a compact, it is too big for me to fit into my hunting pack when I go hunting so I am looking for a ultra compact. I could not bring myself to buy a cheap gun so...

    Help me decide which 1911 to get!!!

    There are two decisions that I need to make. One being which 1911 to get and two being if I should go with the famous .45 ACP or the interesting .38 super. I have narrowed my choice to 3 manufacturers being Ed Brown, Wilson Combat, and Fusion. I handled a few Nighthawk 1911 and did not care...

    Question about scope rings/mount...

    For my other rifles which have pretty stout recoil such as my 300 Ultra Mag, 50 Beowulf, etc I have invested pretty good $$$ into the scope rings and mount. This is in regards to my new CZ 455 Varmint chambered in the .17 HMR which needless to say that the recoil is negligible. I was...

    Why are some .17 hmr rifles neglected?

    I am looking into getting a .17 HMR rifle and need some great suggestions. Trust me I have done a lot of research and have mostly come up with 3 good options. I am considering the CZ since it has an excellent build quality, Savage since it has a good build quality along with the accutrigger...

    What to choose for my "donor" gun?

    I am building a rifle for under $1,000 including the glass. After much research and advice.... I have been looking extensively at the Savage Stevens 200 in the .243 cartridge. I plan on maybe changing out the barrel, perhaps a fiberglass stock, and maybe a trigger job. The only thing that I do...

    Trigger jobs and fiberglass stocks..... fluff or real stuff?!?!

    As some of you might know I am building a budget benchrest rifle to participate in a friendly contest with one of my friends. I have to keep the entire build under $1,000 so I plan on spending $500 on the gun and then the rest on the glass. Here is my question since many of you are...

    Hey, please help out a newbie here!

    I have finally gotten my outdoor building done and am ready for my first ever reloading experience to begin. Now..... PLEASE understand that even though this is my first purchase in the reloading department that I am NOT looking for entry level or anything that is borderline junk. I want a...

    The friendly contest between my friend and I...help me win!

    So here goes...... We are allowed to spend a maximum of $1000 on the rifle and $1000 on the optic. We will shoot 5 rounds at 100 yards, 200 yards, and then 300 yards. The best of the 3 wins. I wanted to spend more on the rifle because I really love the CZ 750 Sniper, but retailing at...

    What is the purpose of a quick release scope mount especially on an AR platform??

    My 50 Beowulf from Alexander Arms is on the way! I have ordered me a Trijicon ACOG to go on top of it and am confused as to what mount to purchase for it. Everyone says that the quick release mount from LaRue is the way to go. I have no problem spending $150 on a mount since it plays a major...
