Hey all, With a potential ban looming overhead, I’m really considering picking up a 1997 Springfield Loaded National Match M1A in 308 with the 22” stainless barrel. It seems to be in great shape, and the shop is asking $1600 out the door for it. Based on the greenish finish of the bolt and...

Hey everyone, Picked up this old 97 today. It’s definitely a “brown” gun, and seems to function fine. Planning on taking it out shooting soon once I address the crack developing in the stock just behind the receiver…will probably end up refinishing the stock when I do that since it’s pretty...

Really eyeing these two pistols lately. My heart desires the TSO..but the Shadow 2 is a bit cheaper and is a fine pistol as well. Has anybody here owned or shot either of them? Does CZ offer LEO/MIL pricing on the TSO? I know the Shadow 2 is on their (very generous) price list, but I don't see...

Got what seemed like a fair deal at Cabela's today. $389.99 before tax, was out the door for just over $410. BUT THAT MATTERS NOT. What matters is the brand new Blued MK IV Target sitting here just waiting to be shot! Range opens on Wednesday and you can bet I'll be there. Report to follow, I...

There's a really nice piston REC 7 for sale locally for $1300. Only downside is it's in 6.8spc... I had never handled a Barrett AR until today. I used to think they were a kind of "gimmick" item - just another manufacturer trying to horn in on the AR15 craze. My views are totally different now...

(This is not the first time this topic has been brought up on the web. SnipersHide has a great article on this subject.) For shooting enthusiasts (by this I mean people shooting for enjoyment, not survival) interested in a centerfire bolt-gun for casual target and any kind distance work there...

Saw this picture today of a Gen 5 poster. No finger grooves. No standard front cocking serrations. A DLC coating. And a slightly rounded front end as seen on the 34/35. What do you all think? I was hoping for a little more although I couldn't tell you what exactly. Just seems like a polished...

Walked into my LGS to pick up a check (long story) and they had a 17L sitting under the glass... My buddy/dealer/bad-influence said he could get me out the door for $700 cash. Its a BNIB Gen 3 Glock 17L... The trigger is the best Glock trigger I have ever felt. On par with the M&P 2.0 I felt...

Sitting in a cafe in Lukla after some hard hiking this past week, waiting for a flight tomorrow AM, and thought I'd share some of the things Ive seen while walking around. The Nepali Army guys carry the FAL without exception. There are outposts scattered around - seeing the rifle carried at...

Hey everyone, With the release of red-dot-ready polymer pistols from the big manufacturers, Ive been seeing a lot more of them on the range. I have had the chance to shoot some very nice "worked on" competition Glocks with RMRs installed. I just dont understand why so many people want...

Hey all, So ive recently started reloading for my Ruger Precision in 6.5 Creedmoor. My Lyman manual doesn't have any 6.5cm loads, but it has plenty for the 260 Remington. My Hornady manual has both, and I find it interesting that Reloader 19 is only ever mentioned for the 260Rem. I made some...

Hey everyone, So, I sell kydex holsters on eBay for some income on the side. Most of my models sell for less than $20. I usually sell one or two a day, and everything goes off without a hitch. However, I have noticed an interesting trend. Customers who purchase holsters for Ruger's...

Hey all, I have a CZ 550 American in 308win posted locally, and was just offered a S&W 686-3 6" as a trade. The gun looks good in the picture, has plastic grips, factory sights. Owner claims it has had "lots of trigger work done". I will check the timing and all of that prior to completing the...

Hey everyone, My local LGS guy offered me what seems to be a pretty good deal on a DSA Fal ($1200). It has the upgraded scope rail on top and a magpul PRS stock as well. He claims its maybe had a magazine or two through it (they took it in on a trade). The gun is definitely in like-new...

First off: It's great to see so much interest in this type of shooting. I recently shot in the Long Range Operators Challenge in Colville, WA. For my partner and I, it was our first-ever shooting competition. There were five active-duty teams, and I believe they were all snipers save one team...

So I went out for some shooting this past Sunday. Its been 70F and Sunny for a couple weeks, and I finally got a day to myself to spend out in the field (literally). I have ~4,500 rounds through my CZ 452 Trainer, but have never taken it beyond 200m (the maximum range the tangent sight can be...

Hey folks, So I'm waiting for a new rifle in 6.5CM to arrive, and I am wondering why none of the major manufacturers (Hornady, Sierra, etc) make any 6.5mm projectiles in the 150gr+ range. Sure mag-length could be an argument, but I enjoy shooting the 208gr AMAX in a 308win which is beyond...

I recently moved the rest of my stuff out of my dad's house - finally all of my things are with me here where I go to school. In the move, the front 30mm ring for my CZ550 went missing. Turned the apartment upside down - nada :uhoh: I called up Warne to see about replacing it (I offered to...

Hey everyone, We found this out on the range a few days ago, not sure what it belongs to or where it goes so I thought I'd ask here. Looks like a gas-block from something? Not sure.

Hey everyone! I am working on a project for my computer science degree. My team is working on building a better Android app for long-range shooting. If you could answer 6 quick questions it would be really helpful! Spread it around if you can. Also, if you have any comments or ideas you'd like...
