i have them on my 336 and love them. off-hand i shoot as well with the skinner sights as i do with a 3-9x scope.

back when i could use my 30-06 for deer, i used a 1907 leather sling. now that i dont hunt like i used to, i still prefer it for almost anything i do. that sling now lives on my M1A and i get to enjoy it regularly. i dont need a big pad to carry my rifle, but the ability to sling up is a big...

if i have a manual that matches the manufacturer of the bullet im using, i just use that manual. if not. i'll figure the average of starting loads from what sources i have and work my way up to my desired level.

That is beautiful!

i went with 10.5" because i wanted a fixed FSB and a carbine length handgaurd is the shortest that i am comfortable with. mine is a PSA upper that i am using it with a carbine buffer and carbine spring and it is much smoother than i was expecting it to be. it is compact enough that it makes a...

these numbers are approximate, but will get you pretty close: 1200 rds of 5.56 will fit in to a 50 cal ammo can. 600rds of 5.56 will fit in to a 30cal ammo can. 1750rds of .40SW will fit in to a 50cal ammo can. 1000rds of .40SW will fit in to a 30cal ammo can. 140rds of 12ga 2.75 will fit in to...

I have dawson precision sights on my EDC (FO front, plain rear). never had an issue with them. the way i figured it, worst case scenario, if the fiber falls out then i have plain black sights which i would prefer to night sights anyway.

my 336 30-30 wears skinner sights and I wouldnt have it any other way.

my recommendation is to grab either a complete rifle or an assembled upper and lower of your choosing from PSA. my last "build" used an assembled upper from them and i will definitely be going back to them for my next project. watch their daily deals to, sometimes you can get a real steal check...

#1 - I cant offer you a lot of advise on these. honestly 24 BHN is just too hard for a wadcutter and I have no idea why they would even produce them at this hardness. these are usually around 10-12 BHN. #2 - I agree, these will likely be too hard for lower velocity loads. if it were me, I would...

I agree completely! I want one brightness setting and that's it! don't need a bunch of features, just light.

that is a good idea using tape. less light if you don't need it, and remove the tape if you need more. I'll give this a try!

I have been having a thought regarding intensity in weapon mounted lights. The trend for WMLs (on rifles especially) seems to all be 300+ lumens and I am beginning to wonder if that might be a little much for some situations. Little bit of background: I currently have a 350 lumen light mounted...

I have one of the gloryfire brass catchers and I really like it. mine is not a picitinny mount, but rather a rubber-backed elastic/velcro strap that wraps around the handguard so it can be used on a variety of rifles. easy on and off, catches brass reliably, hasn't caused any jams yet, holds...

I went with dawson precision chargers on mine. I opted for the fiber optic front, but they are available in all black as well.

minimum of $20 every time i want to shoot, cant shoot my reloads, and cant keep my own brass? that actually sounds pretty terrible.

dumbest thing i ever saw... the taurus judge.

i voted for 10 and 25. i always start my testing at 10 yards since that is where i do the majority of my pistol shooting. once i have a good 10 yard load, i will eventually try it at 25, which honestly, is where my skill level starts to drop off. i can make shots at further distance, but it...

when we could hunt whitetail here in Iowa with real rifles, my set up was right around your friend's $1000 limit. for me, it just came down to what i liked. i wanted a nice wood stock, blued steel, 30-06, and a good scope. ended up with a blued/walnut ruger M77 hawkeye in 30-06 with a 1-7x32...

for me it would come down to how i was planning to hunt. if i was going to sit in a stand or blind and shoot one or two deer a year i would go for the 77/44. they are lightweight and handy and i really enjoy the 77 series of ruger rifles. if i was planning on driven hunts like we usually do...
