I'll pipe in as an aspiring student of the NRA high power mid range prone game. If you've ever had to remove a chambered round and had it come apart and spill powder in your action (don't ask me how I know) you might be less enamored of "jamming". I still hear competitors talk about jamming but...
Here's a pull quote from an accurate shooter article on the primer shortage. It suggests that Remington ammo production lines are ramping back up under new management, whether that includes my dwindling stash of Remington 7 1/2 match primers remains to be seen:
There is some good news however —...
I agree 100% with the purchase of this FX12i. It had the largest impact on my group size as I pursued accuracy in the precision rifle game. I have the exact same setup with the scale and trickler but not the auto dispenser. I use a lee dipper to throw a slightly underweight charge then tweeser...
I had to send my blackhawk 45 Colt with the convertible 45 ACP cylinder back to Ruger, both cylinders were similarly out of spec. They took care of it promptly at no charge. I did buy the pistol new but I don't remember them asking for proof of purchase. Try contacting customer support, it's...
Another recommendation for Ducot shooting glasses. I ordered them in bifocal and was really unhappy. I called and they did them over at no charge. Sterling customer service in this day and age. Additionally, the ability to raise the glasses higher on the face off the adjustable nose pad thing is...
My funnest firearm is my CZ 527 in 7.62x39. The set trigger will spoil you and its so cheap to shoot. I never regret taking it to the range for some plinking fun. I worked up a 1moa handload with RL7 and Hornady 123gr SST's. Fun gun!
Hands down the worst factor trigger was on a Henry Single Shot in 308 I bought over the summer. There were some threads over on castboolits website on how to swap out the springs but I started getting light primer strikes (Winchester Primers) and never anywhere near a decent trigger. I would up...
I remember reading this from the April 24th White Oak Armaments newsletter I received via email regarding twist rate for 224 Valkyrie. Interesting and pertinent to the thread so I thought I'd add it. It might be worth waiting for a 1 in 6.5 twist barrel from White Oak if you want to shoot heavy...
I am a Florida resident traveling to Atlanta for thanksgiving to see my daughter and shiny new son and law. I would like to look at a new long gun to add to the collection and wondered if you could recommend a gun store that might be running Black Friday deals. I'll be in Decatur but wouldn't...
Second on the Tikka, that's the route I went in 308 for a dedicated F-class rifle. I put mine in a Manners stock with AICS mag compatability and rebarreled with a heavy Bartlein at 28" If your looking for best barrel life 308 is going to fit that bill as well as wider availability of components...
Having bought two chinese inexpensive red dot sight's I've decided to take the plunge and pick up an Aimpoint. What do you think my chances are of getting a better deal on an Aimpoint T2 if I wait for a Black Friday holiday sale and where should I be scouting; Palmetto State Armory, SWFA, Amazon...?
My CZ 527 7.62x39 also went back to the factory. Right out of the box the bolt would not close with any of the three factory brands of Ammo I tried. They fixed it in a week. It now works fine but feeds brass cased ammo much more smoothly as one might expect. I invested in 100 Lapua cases from...
Good suggestions on stock upgrade. You also might try 178gr Hornady A-Max with that same 4064 powder, 42-43 grains. Experiment with bullet seating depth, try .003-.006 off the lands if your magazine permits. Get a comparator to ensure accuracy of seating depth.
I have a Tikka 308 with composite stock, it looks like the bipod should attach without any play. I did thing of 5 things to do with that rubber mat material though so thanks for posting that link! I wish I would have had some to slap on my shoulder last weekend. First time shooting my rifle from...
Lee,
I just ordered the exact same bipod after a top recommendation from a fellow shooter on Monday. It is supposed to arrive on Friday, I plan on taking it to the range this weekend so I'll let you know. I'm wondering if some simple rubber crutch tips from the hardware store might work...
Here's an online review that came up positive for this rifle:

I don't have any experience with the RAS-47 but I do own a first generation C39 and I have had no problems with it.
Having said that I just ordered my second AK over the weekend...
I thought I'd share my experiences with my new rifle a Tikka T3 CTR Stainless in .308 win under a SWFA 3-15x42 scope. THR poster and fellow CTR owner Gtscotty helped me pick the correct rings (SWFA SS-Tac 30mm/1" Rings-Low) and he steered me right, they mount the scope with a perfect cheek weld...
