    Does this m14 load sound alright to you guys?

    About to cook up my first batch ever for the m14. (norinco 18.5") I hear the 4895's are good but I have a 4 lb of IMR-4064 and I want to finish that before I buy more. Hodgdon's 4th edition has a load that Im thinking about- Ill start off loading 100 rounds of this and when my rifle...

    Shotguns- 14" vs 18"

    What are the merits of each? I am currently rocking a 14" fabarm as it is the perfect wilderness defense weapon in my mind for yogi( with the right slugs-brenneke) Quick to point, quicker follow up shots, light and easy to carry. What am I giving up with this 14" barrel is the question...

    My scope is 1" and rings are 30mm, options?

    The rings I want to use with this scope are the nightforce ultralite. Mainly because they're light, second theyre supposed to be strong. I hear there are reducers available to fit a 1" scope in 30mm rings- are these a good option? Also- do they add weight? Wonder if Im better off just getting...

    This is my bear/zombie paranoia gun- a fabarm 14" barrel(Yup- Canadian) Im looking for the best sights for close up quick shots- not sure if that would be a bead because I have trouble snap shooting things at 30 ish yards and even closer with a bead. I just have trouble aiming at all with it-...

    Who makes a great 2-7x scope for 500 ish

    Im fixing to put one of these on my m1a zombie/deer rifle. Close enough for the zombies and enough range for deer- should be great as I'm into practicing offhand and wont be doing much long range stuff. Im a scope newb so no clue here...opinions welcome!

    Whats a good ultralight scope/rings?

    Im scoping my m1a and its a heavy beast! Looking to cut a bit of weight on her so I dont get any more exercise than I need to :) I hear the m1a recoil is pretty intense for most scopes so 1- are light scopes wimpy? 2- are light rings/scopes worth it or will I experience wandering zero issues...

    Shotgun guys- 3 or 3.5 inch guns?

    Im considering a supernova tactical for a "bear safety" gun and figured you competitive folks would know the best. Should I go for a shotgun that I love less that is 3 only or... get the benelli supernova that I like that is 3.5. Do you worry about the extra pull length as far as short...

    Which scope for my m1a?

    I am building up a rig for all around fun- deer hunting, target shooting, zombie defense. It's an 18" bbl with arms 18 scope mount. I definitely dont want to go crazy big as I will be shooting out to 300 ish(which is far for me at my current skill level) and usually much less(100 yards)...

    Left hand M1a operation- is it safe?

    I was once a proud owner of an M1a and sold it(silly me). Now, the appearance of the socom and short barreled Canadian versions has again piqued my interest. I want one! Heres the thing though- I will be reloading for the platform, I will be investing in a case gage. But I am a bit...

    The dream: M1a and hunting

    Anyone tried this? Seems a bit crazy, but I gotta say I'm intrigued- especially upon reading that some wackos even use it for elk hunting! Id be very interested to hear anyones tips on loads/bullets that would do the trick safely as well as ways to knock a few OZ off the rifle. Im looking at...

    Difference between model 70 classic and new actions? CRF

    Im considering building up a rifle from a model 70 action. As a left hander my main option is the classic model- the pre 64s are alot to ask for and I want the CRF. So am I losing anything by buying one of the "classic" model actions vs the new FN made actions? Do they handle gas differently...

    Montana Rifle Company products any good?

    After running a search I see some folks werent too happy when they first started up. Has quality improved? Seems like an ASR left hand is in my future and wondering if it stacks up against other CRF options.

    Remington 700 CDL- improvements/tips?

    Despite not being crazy about what I've heard about Remington's quality control Imma pick one of these up. It seems to be the best left hand option for me. Its a middleweight bolt gun that wont kick the crap out of me in 30-06 but if they currently made the model 70 in lefty Id pick one up for...

    School me on the BAR(commercial version)

    as a lefty Ive been unable to find something I really love as far as bolt actions go. I want a 7lb ish 30-06 that will be used for hunting, and downloaded (I reload) for target practice. Remington(quality), savage(looks), Ruger(hate the action) and winchester (no left hand) have left me feeling...

    30-06 vs 6.5x55 versatility

    Im trying to decide between the two cartridges. As a reloader I can load the 30-06 up and down, my question is how effective is it when loaded down? For instance lets say I want to make it shoot like a 6.5- Lower recoil, reasonably accurate- Can I achieve this by loading 140gr bullets in my...

    Looking for a scope for a new hunting rig. This is my first scoped centerfire so Im not gonna be reaching out. Hunting at 100-300 yards. Do I go full on and get a zeiss conquest 3-9x40? Or just stick with the leupold vx3 or something in that price range Also- I am a Scopenewb but do...
