    WTS S&B 3-12x42 Klassik with P3L illuminated mil dot reticle, capped elevation

    S&B 3-12x42 Klassik with P3L illuminated reticle. Capped elevation. This is an outstanding low light scope for anyone who does not need to dial. It has been on a few hunts, surface marks as pictured. I really like this scope, but my shooting has been improving and I need a scope with an...

    Maven RS 1.2 2.5-15x44 vs S&B Klassik 3-12x42

    I need to put a scope on my Tikka 308, it has a 16.5 inch barrel and the plan is to load 178 gr ELD-X, estimate is MV of about 2400 fps, this will drop below 1800 fps at about 430 yards and needs 3.1 mils of elevation. It will be holding above 1600 fps until 590 yards and needs 5.2 mils of...

    Permanent mirage shield: wrapping a barrel like a suppressor?

    Seeing suppressor covers for mirage; if the barrel channel is wide enough, anyone thought about wrapping a barrel in a single layer of high temp silicone tape and coflex as a mirage shield? The silicone should avoid moister trapping, the coflex might get dirty, but so long as the action is not...

    Does brass matter?

    So, does brass and headstamp matter? If it does, then why: -Internal volume? -Brass alloy? -Neck tension? -Consistency? I have 4 headstamps in 223 available to me. 1. Starline, purchased as new brass, loaded and shot twice before. 2. Sig that came to me as loaded ammo (purchased a few months...

    Centerfire rifle drop testing: Tikka/SWFA

    Edit: Post #65, repeated and passed, and I shoot better now. Keep in mind, I suck at shooting. I got a Tikka 223 recently, had some work done. First zero was over the hood of my truck and a "close enough" type thing not at a range. Since I've hunted with it some. Finally got around to...

If you have a credit card with no foreign transaction fees, it is cheaper to...

    Help me not be dumb, 77 TMK, H4895

    So, my Tikka is off getting cut and having its action Cerakoted, my reloading stuff has all arrived, and I'm home sick with the flu. I have Starline 5.56 brass Federal 205 primers 77 gr TMKs H4895 and N135 I'm tempted to try loading a few, but I should probably wait until I get the action back...

    MKC Jackstone

    Well, I have been looking for a Magnacut fixed blade with thin blade stock and a blade shape I like, and available. Was able to pick up a Montana Knife Company Jackstone today. Looking forward to it, I really like the design. Anyone else grab one, or have an opinion on it? I find many blades...

    Sold Kimber Montana 30-06

    $750 shipped to your FFL, $700 if you live in AK and can pick it up. If you want a pretty rifle, the stock needs some TLC on the paint. Everything works, but you will need a new firing pin spring from Kimber for reliability (will light strike about 5 times out of 100, spring is under 14 dollars...

    Twist rate and penetration: also factors effecting penetration and wound channels in general

    So, obviously too slow of a twist will decrease penetration and increase deflection. But, will over stabilizing a quality, heavy for caliber, expanding bullet decrease deflection on bone? That is the question, and feel free to answer without reading more. I'm interested in data/science more...

    Telling someone you have 'ignored' them = name calling?

    Well, I should have drank more coffee before posting. The original post is in the spoiler tab below without edits. For anyone just coming in. Is telling someone you are ignoring them a form of lashing out, or is it good manners to let someone know you will no long be looking at anything they post?

    Sold Hogue Deka 20CV blade with plastic handles.

    This is the leftovers from assembling another knife. 20CV is a premium super steel similar to M390/S90V and this is a great opportunity to get a premium blade cheap as it comes with the new plastic handles. The plastic feels cheap compared to G10, but works and is lighter. $55 shipped USPS to...

    Sold Hogue Deka G10 handle, Magnacut blade

    This is a hybrid of the G10 handles from the old Deka and the Magnacut blade frome the new. As no one makes scales for the Deka, the only way to get this is to spend about $300 on both knives and swap parts. $140 shipped. Note, as can be seen in the picture, there is slight corrosion on the...

    17 HMR vs 223 as a trainer

    Any opinions on 17 HMR for cheap long range training instead of a 223. Obviously one cannot reach out as far, but the 17 HMR would be much closer to centerfire ballistics than a 22LR and cheaper than a 223. Plus, I need a new full sized remfire and am thinking about 17 HMR or 22 WMR instead of...

    Hobbit rifle drop test (don't do it)

    So, given that one or two of the new production SWFAs have had the reticle start to rotate I decided to drop test mine before bringing it on a hunt. Hight was mid thigh (not more than three feet, but not measured either). First drop flat onto the left side hitting 3 layers of a folded up rug...

    Kimber and less than stellar customer service

    Well, I'm not impressed with Kimber's customer service. I emailed them 7 days ag about my Montana, which has light strikes causing failure to fire on occasion with a variety of ammunition. They never replied, so I called them today. Initially I just asked to buy a new firing pin spring and...
