    Scope base/mounting problem

    So I purchased a new to me Model 70 classic in 270win. Anyway, ordered some bases and rings for it (Leupold #50020 base). The front base screws seemed to have stopped and/or bottomed out before the base got tight. Rear is tight. Has anyone else ever had this problem before? Should I try some...

    Lead sled worth it?

    I was curious about a Caldwell Lead sled/rifle rest. Talked to a fellow at my rifle range and was surprised that he was not a fan of them. He said that in his opinion they were not worth the money. So I am turning to you for your opinions, is a Lead sled worth the investment? Let me know the...

    Browning AB3, X-Bolt or Weatherby Vanguard

    I may need to replace a Savage rifle that I am having issues with. I narrowed my possible replacements to three, Browning AB3, X-Bolt or a Weatherby Vanguard. My question is does anyone have experience with all or one or two of them? Never owned a Browning and never owned a Vanguard model...

    Leupold Boone and Crockett reticle

    In another thread I posted about a new Burris Veracity that I have purchased. One of the things I really like and stuck out to me was how thin the cross hairs are. I am a Leupold fan and always have been, however, I noticed the cross hair on my VX2 was much wider than the Veracity. Almost turned...

    What are the kids shooting these days?

    I have a tradition that I started with my nephew's. When they turn 15, I buy them a hunting rifle and hold it until their 18th birthday. So here is my problem, I used to buy Marlin 3030s, used, for around 3-400ish. The Marlins are now in the 6-700 range. At that price a new Savage in 243 or...

The cycling system doesn't concern me, so long as it does cycle. Looking under $1000. Looked at a few really like the Winchester SX4, but I thought I would ask THR...

    7mm-08 120gr HP

    A little back story, I have some 140gr rounds that are not accurate at all. Tested the 140 vs the 120s. The 140gr bullets are giving me 3-5moa, yes you read that right. Anyway, the 120gr are in the 1moa arena. I was just curious if anyone had used these bullets for deer hunting. This exact...

    Burris Veracity

    I was thinking of purchasing another scope for my rifle. The rifle is currently set up with an OG Nikon Buckmaster. I like the scope but wish it had a better reticle. Anyway, I found a Burris Veracity 3-15x50 for a very affordable price on sale. My question is does anyone have any experience...

    New Redfield scope lineup?

    I was at my local Academy sports today and saw a couple of Redfields on the shelf. Asked about one and flipped it over, TADA, made in China. I know Leupold owned them for awhile and made a dozen different scopes under the Revenge and Revolution lines. I believe the Revenge was made in the...

    Gunsmith work on an XD pistol

    Looking for suggestions for a gunsmith to do some slide and maybe barrel work on an XD pistol in 357 sig. Does anyone know of a place? Through my Google-fu I found a ton of places that do Glocks and S&W's but not really any that do Springers. Any suggestions?

    New AKs good, bad and the ugly.

    I am in the market for a new AK. Years ago the Wasr was junk ( according to the internet and gunshow afficianados). I always heard "you don't want that Romanian, you need a Yugo/ IO/ insert whatever here, but not a Wasr." Now, it seems times have changed. The Wasr seems to be the Cadillac of...

    Firearm usage in Alaska

    I got hooked on watching a show named The Last Alaskans. As I watched, I tried to figure out what kinds of firearms were being used. Even though the show is based on hunting and trapping, in this particular wildlife refuge, there is not much focus on the firearms used. As I watched I noticed...

    Nikon A-series rings or Burris

    Has anyone used the Nikon A-SERIES rings? Are they decent for the money, they cost about $20. Thought I might try some Burris zee rings as well, but they are double+ the price of the Nikons. Thank you for any info.

    Quality of firearms and the price point?

    Some threads, as of late, have talked about quality of one manufacture or another. Many of us here believe quality comes in at a certain price point for an item. Tell me what quality means to you and at what price point that becomes a factor.
