    Carbon Wrapped Barrel Pecking Order?

    If one was looking to buy a carbon wrapped barrel, is there some sort of tier/cost pecking order I should be considering when I start looking at a new build. My wife and I drive a Toyota and an Accord if that gives you an idea of what tier products I typically look for. Even if I had the cash...

    Best Powders: Short Barrel 270+280AI

    I am the proud owner of two rifles I assembled that have 20" barrels. One is a 270 (cheap to shoot and plenty for deer) and a 280AI (exotic project). Normally, I would look at reloading manuals and start with the temperature stable powders with the best velocities. But, I suspect the best...

    Coyote Hunting Fur

    First of all, I have no qualms about shooting the noxious beasts. I just don't have the opportunity to hunt them. Question: when I read about coyote hunters, I often read that they want to preserve the pelt. Why? I have never seen any product sold as having coyote fur.

    Longest Sniper Shot Record Broken?

    [please avoid politics. This is about the shooter, the rifle and the cartridge] Even with an insane rifle and cartridge, I am skeptical that anyone could get 2 out of 3 hits on a man sized target at 3,800 meter shots. Information about the Rifle and Cartridge Link...

    Computer Passwords & Cartridges

    My company's IT security Nazi's require us to have somewhat complicated (Upper/Lower, Numbers, special characters, length). I could easily memorize some crazy random password "Xf@$y39suT" if they didn't force us to change our main password and passwords to other systems so often. At some...

    280 AI Match Chamber Dies?

    I thought that I ordered a Saami chamber 280 AI barrel; however, I was actually provided a "280 Ackley Imp Match" chamber with a print from PTG. I d not think it was my fault, but the receipt I got back is a little vague. I am working with the seller to resolve the issue, but it might not work...

    Monopod Head/clamp

    Because I am into photography, I have a really nice , carbon fiber monopod which might come in handy for an upcoming hunt. I do not, however, have any kind of hunting suitable head for it. Are any of the inexpensive "V" heads worth using? Maybe an inexpensive clamp? Because I normally use...

    East Texas Hunting Help

    Because there is very little public land in Texas, I have have always hunted private land since my return to Texas. To my surprise, I drew a chance to hunt in the Trinity River NWR for deer and hogs. Unfortunately, my family means I will have no opportunity to scout the unit I drew...

    WTS Unfired 6mm CM Brass

    I bought a box of 6 mm Creedmoor Lapua brass (small rifle primers) for a gun that I decided did not fit me well. That gun was sent down the road before I ever loaded these cases up. You WILL NOT receive the brass in the green storage box pictured below. The brass fits nicely in a USPS Small...

    Basic M700 Trigger Recommendation

    I was given an old (1980's) M700 that I plan to keep solely to hand down to my children when they are old enough to take care of a blued gun with a wood stock. I really doubt it will get shot much in the coming decades. The only thing I am definitely changing is the old Walker trigger. Since...

    Dillon Caliber Conv Help

    I bought a Dillon 750 to load higher volume cartridges; however, I want to set up a tool head (or tool heads) for decapping and sizing my 6.5CM, 270 and 280AI brass. Since they all use the same base plate, I figure that I can buy the caliber conversion kit for 6.5 CM (which I might occasional...

    Fitment: try before you buy events?

    Simply put, my Fred Flinstone build makes finding anything "off the rack" that fits right difficult. Thus, I am skeptical about spending a large amount of money for a good pack unless I can try it on first. I certainly don't want to carry a heavy load a long way with an uncomfortable pack...

    M5 Inletting with Hand Tools?

    With the exception of a cheap drill press, I am going to try to inlet a plastic BDL stock to fit a M5 bottom metal. My plan is to use a Dremel to get me close with hand sanding the rest of the way. 1) I couldn't find any videos that didn't use an end mill. Any guidance towards one would be...

    Snake Boots!

    I am not in a position where I have ever needed Snake Boots, but I am working on changing that. The problem I have is I am a freak of nature who worked out a lot in my younger days. - Short Legs, - Giant calves, and - wide feet with high arch. How high do the snake boots need to go to make...

    Convert BDL to DBM?

    I did a build on an Origin action that I am generally very happy with. 1) I decided it needed a lighter scope so I swapped out the original scope for something lighter. No problem. 2) I have concluded that I don't love the BDL setup and would like to switch over to a a DBM without having to...

    Gun Trusts Recommendation

    I am going to Form 1 a SBR and would like to set up a gun trust for it. All my other trusts are "One Shot" trusts set up through Silencer Shop. As an attorney I know these trusts are simply forms that need to be filled out. I can do that if I have the right forms.
