    Most Accurate Vintage Rifle?

    I'm fairly new to 'vintage rifles' (K31, Mauser, SKS, etc) and wanted to get a better idea for some of the more desirable vintage rifles that can shoot sub moa without much work needing to be done. Price range would be helpful, and pictures welcomes :)

    Remington 700 SPS vs SPS Tactical

    Can someone outline the exact differences between these two rifles? the Remington site does not have details on the SPS tactical. Aside from the barrel being 20" instead of 24", I was wondering what other differences there are. Any noticeable differences in accuracy?

    Remington 700 5R that much more accurate than Remington 700 SPS out of the box?

    The Remington 700 SPS in .308 would set me back about $600. The 5R goes for about $1100 where I am due to high demand. For ones who have owned both, how much of an accuracy difference have you experienced out of the box between the two rifles with similar rigs, shooting at similar distances...

    Best sub-$500 Scope for Precision Long Range Shooting?

    And by long range, I mean about 300-400 yards tops. In most cases, I will probably shoot right around 200 yards. The scope I am currently considering is a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44PA. Before I pull the trigger on this one, I wanted to get some more opinions on other options I should consider...

    best value .223 bolt action rifle combo? separate scope? bolt or semi-auto?

    I'm looking at either the Howa 1500 ranchland combo,which comes with the Nikko scope or a Savage Arms 223 package gun, which also comes with a scope (don't know the brand). I know packages are usually not the best way to go, but due to budget this seems to be the most cost effective way to get...

    Eating your kill.. but what about varmint?

    So to start, I am a catch and release bass fisherman, and whatever I kill I will usually eat - i hate seeing flesh go to waste for no good reason. Unfortunately in the world of hunting, there's no 'catch and release'. I prefer to eat what I kill, but plan to start off with smaller game hunting -...

    .243 lowest cost, best all around round?

    I'm new to the hunting world, and deciding on a good versatile rifle. .243 seems to fit the bill, as it can knock down varmints without destroying to a bloody mess, and also powerful enough to hunt deer with at a later time. I will primariy be hunting varmints with the rifle to begin with, but...

    Savage Arms 243 - light/varmint barrel?

    Remington 700 has a varmint version, which I believe has a ligher barrel. Does Savage arms have the same thing? I'm looking at a Savage 10 10GXP3.243 w/ Winchester 3-9x40mm Scope, and was wondering if there is a light/varmint barrel version. Thanks.

    Consolidating down to one

    After shooting for about two years and going through a wide variety of guns, I've come to realize while it is fun to 'add to the collection', when it comes down to it, there were only a few that I would count on 100% to save my life. When I say 100%, this means a gun that has never jammed or...

    Ruger 10/22 for Lefty? or does not matter?

    Hi - I don't believe Ruger makes their 10/22 model for lefties. Question is, does it really make a big difference? Wanted to know if there are any lefties on here shooting rifles made for right handers, and if you have had any issues. I'm fairly new to long guns, so thought I'd ask before I made...

    Difficult time shooting Glock 19 accurately.. tips?

    Of all the guns I own, I can shoot all of them decently well (especially the CZ's) with the exception of the Glock 19. I'm not one that is quick to blame the gun, because I know it is probably more user error (me) than the gun itself. So I wanted to get the feedback of other Glock 19 owners. Do...

    Optimizing Remington 870 Express for HD

    Hi - I have a regular Remington 870 express with a 28" barrel used for skeet shooting primarily. I was wondering what are the basic changes needed to make it more ideal for HD. I understand a shorter barrel would be nice. What other mods would you recommend and what cost would be associated...

    1911 reliability vs. more "modern day" guns

    When it comes to reliability, it seems like some of the more "modern day" designed guns (glocks, xd's) outshine the 1911 design. I've had my fair share of jams recently with all of the 1911 pistols I've handled but zero with any of the glocks and xds, so this very well could just be my personal...

    Tough choice... upgraded CZ 75 SP-01, or CZ 75 Tactical Sport?

    Both are very nice guns and I KNOW they are used for different applications. Nevertheless, a decision needs to be made. 'got to have it' factor is included along with the following. The SP-01 I would invest a bit of money into (smooth up the trigger,improve the sights, wood thin grips, etc). The...

    CZ-75 SP-01 worth upgrading over the CZ-75b?

    I've had my CZ-75 for a little bit now and I've enjoyed shooting it. I'm curious to give the CZ-75 SP-01 a try. For those who either own or have shot both, 1. is there a big difference in how the two guns perform/shoot and 2. would you say the 75b is worth selling to buy a SP-01? Yes, in a...

    Grips for Glock 19 to smooth/round out the grooves?

    Anyone recommend grips that will cover the awkward imprint/grooves of the Glock? In particular I am looking for a solution on the Glock 19. Anything that will smooth or round out the grooves so that it does not protrude so much and make it more ergonomically comfortable would be great. Thanks.

    4th generation Glock 19 due soon?

    Found the following on wikipedia. Anyone have info on when this is going to release and how it will affect the cost of a gen 3 glock? I've been waiting to get a glock - couldn't resist - but I'd hate to buy a gen 3 now only to have a new and improved gen 4 come out right around the corner. Now...

    DAC SportSafe Review

    I've read around on the board but wasn't able to find a good review on the DAC SportSafe, so I figured I'd review the product for others who may be potentially interested. Price - Very reasonable, I paid just under $60, and ordered it from Walmart via the web. It is not available at my...

    New XD-40: Pictures and Review from a newbie's perspective

    As with anything, obviously this is a biased review and from a newbie's perspective to boot. No new information here, but rather just a recap from my experience so far. Hope you enjoy. The XD line of firearms is Springfield's answer to the popular Austrian made Glock. XD, representing...
