Hello, I am new to using the Redding Type S match dies. The sizing die requires the selection of a bushing to 'fine-tune' the case sizing. I've read a lot about it on line but I must admit that I am still confused about how to choose the size/sizes of bushing for my specific need. Some say...

It's easy to get sidetracked by the information overflow on the web, and the nuances that distinguish similar cartridges, firearms and actions. But in reality, unless you are very experienced and practiced these differences are small and often are more than outweighed by convenience. When I was...

Other: The love child of the classic S&W 686 and the Star Wars Phaser - the S&W Performance Center 627 V-Comp 8-shot, 5" barrel (+1" comp). Great shooter. Definitely and 'other'. B...

So with the recall of the Remington 700 series (including the CDL) series of guns, I dutifully got my shipping box from Remington sized for the whole rifle. At the same time I purchased a Jewell trigger which is how I plan on improving what seems to be a low-risk situation. My concern is that a...

As others noted, even in our Walmart-powered country, its' reasonable to expect that you get what you pay for. Rarely more and often less. Something as tactile as a wooden long rifle with the subtlety of lubricated interacting, sliding and both man and machine operating systems is not something...

I think it's a good idea. BTW, I practice this model all the time. I will not own an AK nor will I buy Russian-made ammo. I did buy some once, just a mental slip forgetting that I have some simple rules by which to live. My general rule is shaped by the notion that most US soldier who return...

Not I. I got a good deal on a Rem 700 CDL .223 beauty after the recall was announced. My big decision was to buy the Timney or the Jewell ($1x versus $2x in price) but I still chose the Jewell. So the gun was pricier, and I may just send them the flawed Reminton trigger (without the gun) to see...

Oh I just got hit with can-o-worms-shards... So what about the use of the gun is the OP trying to optimize? Repeatable accuracy in a controlled (bench) environment? Many rounds fired and measured consecutively or one (or two shots out of a cold gun to bring down the fauna du jeur? Does carry...

FWIW, now that you're changing to .308, I have a Tikka Sporter chambered in .308 and it is a joy to shoot. Very little recoil (for a .308), very very good trigger, very accurate (even in my hands). The bad news (which I knew when I purchased it) is that it is heavy. Nine pounds sans scope. For...

So the S&W folks seem to be nailing it right now in their price range. I would not hesitate to buy one in a moments notice. For me, a 'special needs' person, I have been totally satisfied with Stag Arms guns (left handed) but if the right handed guns are the same as the left handers (and they...

It is a big can of worms but the can and content has some merit. I agree with ford8nr that the first real segment is the $300-$500 Savage Axis/Ruger American. Some have good barrels and actions, most have questionable stocks, all feel cheap in the hand. That is, they may be capable of some...

I think the contributors here covered all of the bases (even when there aren't bases!) but for me my real draw for the round was: The PS90 itself is the coolest PDR ever created - for HD, short ranges, high-volume conflagrations. You lose all of the cool and much of the small, maneuverable...

How can Remington be taking on any more dept, complexity and boutique activities? To wit: Their new pistol (R51?) is an unmitigated design, manufacturing, process, marketing and sales disaster. I don't know how they will recover from that one without spending a lot of money for 3-4 years for...

I own one and like it but: I will be installing the Apex trigger spring kit - to lighten the pull a bit and make it a bit smoother, make it more repeatable and move the break closer to the grip. This is a must do for me. I may also install the trigger kit itself although that may not be...
