    Scope Selection ~$600-$700 range

    All, I'm new to the long range optics world and need your help. It seems there are so many scopes to choose from I just feel lost! I'm looking for a scope in the $600-$700 range to be mounted over a Savage .308 rifle. My wish list for the scope is as follows: -Variable Power: any...

    Can someone make .45-70 dummy rounds (will pay you for your time and material)?

    Good morning and Happy New Year!!! I am in need of about 30 - 40 dummy rounds in .45-70. I'd prefer the rounds to have the spent primer still in the case if at all possible, and I'd need the rounds delivered inside of 3 weeks. I'm not terribly partial as to the weight of the bullet, just as...

    AR-15 for competition

    Evening all! I am looking at picking up an ar-15 for use in high power competition. I have narrowed my choice down to a RR National Match AR, but I do have a couple questions (first ar style rifle, so I'm in uncharted territory here). A bunch of the high power guys swear by...

    Yugo AK Underfold to fixed stock replacement?

    Evening! Is it possible to replace the folding stock of a Yugo M70 with a fixed stock? Reason I ask is that there are optic mounting rails that require an AK to have a fixed stock to which the rail mounts. I've got an underfolder and I may be interested in switching it to a fixed stock.

    Optics and AK variant Yugo M70

    All, Up until recently I've been a huge proponent of the AK rifle. Larger diameter projectile, great reliability, and (with the Yugo underfolder) ease of concealment if needed. But the problem I am coming into lately is mounting optics. I've purchased a mount which replaces the rear...

    AR sight question

    All, To this point I've pretty much been an AK guy, but I've got an itch to get an AR lately. My question is if you have an AR with a detachable handle and a front sight, do you have to remove the front sight if you wanted to remove the handle and use a red dot scope? Probably a dumb...

    Considering Springfield Trapdoor or Repro

    Afternoon all! It seems as though I have been bitten by this .45-70 bug, and my only recourse is purchasing a rifle to sooth my discomfort. :evil: At first, my only consideration was a modern repro of the Springfield Trapdoor, as the ability to shoot smokeless loads would make it easier...

    Polyfill

    Morning all! First let me say I'm a newbie to reloading. I've googled my question as well as searched the boards and haven't found much regarding polyfill. I am reloading .45LC with 6 grains of HP38. This leaves a fairly large open space in my case. I am considering using polyfill to...

    Duty to retreat...why?

    This is a piggy back from another thread going. Mods, I debated putting this in legal or general. Please move if you see fit. What would be a logical reason that someone would be in favor of duty to retreat legislation? What I am talking about is...if someone breaks in your house, you are...

    blasphemy and sacrilidge?

    Afternoon all! I've recently gotten a hankering for an 1897 Winchester, however most I've found have a barrel somewhere in the neighborhood of 28 inches! That's a big too long for my taste. I am a collector of military surplus rifles and cringe when I see a bubba'ed rifle. Would cutting...

    Most disgusting Mil-Surp you've cleaned

    Funny that there is a similar post on this topic! Before yesterday, I thought my SKS was the nastiest clean-up on a mil-surp I've done. There had to have been a gallon of cosmoline in the wood and in every nook and cranny in that rifle. However, yesterday I started cleaning up a no4 mk1...

    loading dummy cartridges without a press?

    All, Maybe a dumb question...for creating dummy cartridges (ie. spent primer left in case, no powder, bullet on top), do you have to have use a press to adequately seat the bullet, or can you simply bash the bullet in place with a mallet? Thanks!
