    WAPO AR Article

    I make a point to never click on a WAPO link. I hate to support their propaganda. I decided to click on this one to humor myself. If you aren't averse to opening their links, read this and give a somewhat scholarly response to it if you don't mind...

    Red Dot For Ruger PC Carbine

    Give me some recommendations for a good red dot for a Ruger PC Carbine. I don't want to spend over $300. Heck I have a $70 TruGlo that I can't find fault with, but I'd like to take a step up in quality. I don't think there's any way to avoid Chinese, but if there is, that is bonus. The...

    Converting Remington 700 6.5 Creed to 22-250

    I am really so ignorant on this subject that I don't know where to start, so let me kinda lay everything out there for you. I have a Remington 700 6.5 Creed. It is of somewhat recent manufacture. It has the Black B&C stock with gray splatter and stainless mountain profile barrel...

    I'd like to interrupt the idle chat in this sub-forum to have a serious discussion. What in the hell are toenails for?

    What About Low Light Performance

    I understand the insistence that a scope be able to track well and hold zero. That's a given. I'd be interested in how the scopes perform and the adequacy of the reticles in low light situations. I am talking about under the canopy of trees at 29 minutes after sunset on a cloudy day kind of...

    Scope My Remington 5R 223

    I am getting ready to put a new scope on my Remington HS Precision 5R 223. I will use the rifle primarily for fun (not competition) target shooting, perhaps out to 500 yards. I want to piddle with dialing for the first time in my life, though I don't need exposed turrets. I don't care whether...

    Four retired military guys who have lived in the Southeast most of our lives are looking an affordable western hunting experience. We have settled on wanting to do a guided cow elk hunt in New Mexico (for logistical reasons) for fall of 2022. Wanted to see who some of you can recommend from...

    Erector Assembies

    Nightforce and SWFA have earned a reputation for being tough and tracking precisely and reliably. Leupold has a reputation for being unreliable in that regard. Have any of you torn into the erector assemblies to see what the differences are? If those two companies are putting out a product...

    Why Match/Target Bullets For Hunting

    This is going to be a barrage of questions. It will help to view me as a skeptic relative to the matter at hand. I am going to do some load development for my new 6mm Creed. I live in the southeast where shots are rarely taken at more than 100 yards. But, I fancy that I will take a trip out...

    Disappointed in Nosler

    In another thread I mentioned that I bought a new Nosler Liberty that had to go back to the factory. There were 3 issues. The bolt was extraordinarily hard to close on Nosler factory 105 grain ammo. The best 3 shot group I could muster at 100 yards was about 5 inches. The bullets showed...

    Cristensen Arms Mes 6.5 PRC Failure To Eject

    I bought a CA Mesa at the beginning of the year. I finally had a chance to get it to the range last weekend. It will partially extract the brass, but won't always eject it. It was very accurate with 147 ELD ammo. That's a 1 inch dot. I called CA. They told me that they had a bad...

    Optics and Ammo LLC Warning

    Folks, be careful who you do business with. This company has some very bad BBB reviews and quite a few people on other forums have said that they have had bad dealings with the company. Do research before you order from an unknown entity...

    My New Years Eve/Day Getaway

    Laurie joined me at Camp Serenity for a nice little escape from the concrete jungle. As usual, no animals died in the making of this adventure, but a good time was had by all. Shadow was so excited to get in her pool, when she got out she had the zoomies like she was a pup all over again. She...

    New Mexico Recommendations

    I have been wanting to treat myself to a guided antelope hunt for several years. Next year is looking pretty good at this point. I pass through NE New Mexico every year and see a lot of animals, some of which are sporting some impressive headgear. I think that part of the country is...

    FNG From Louisiana

    I am a bit of a forum junky. Content from this one has popped up a number of times in some google searches I have been doing. Thought I'd join the 'hood.
