I would only disassemble my Garand annually, at the end of the match season. Unless the rifle got really wet, I never saw a reason to do so more often. Grease can be added to the most pertinent parts with the gun assembled. I have never been one to clean barrels, I just run an oily patch down...

Both are great rifles. I have owned both and would give a slight edge to the M70 except for one thing. The M70 has a cheek swell on the stock that drives me nuts. I could never get comfortable with it so now I am an X-bolt guy. But the M70 (30-06 in my case) was very accurate even with rapid...

Depends on the rigidity of the stock, but generalIy I would go an 1/8". That way when you sling up it is very unlikely the stock will and barrel will contact, and allows for cooling.

As a reasonably long time highpower competitor, I have tried using the mag as a rest. Yes I know it is against the rules, but so were the rifles I was shooting at these times before recent rule changes. Anyhow I found that mag resting was consistantly less accurate for me than a traditional...

One of the best buys going for "standard" trigger is the BCM lower parts kits that includes their plated trigger set. It is $99, with the possibility of online purchase with a coupon from Brownells or whoever with a bit of a discount. Plus the kit includes their Mod 3 pistol grip which is my...

With my M&P 10, shooting very sedate reloads using H4895 it operates fine in spite of short stroking much 7.62. Again, why I think powder burn rate must be pretty important.

For a gas operated gun I wonder if the powder burn rate, rather than ultimate pressure level, isn't the most important issue? My M&P10 will short stroke a lot of 762 (but not all), and operates fine on all 308 I have tried except some Blackhills (match I believe) which had pressure signs and...

Looks like a solid offering to me. Mid-length gas, 1:8, Melonite, coated trigger (if BCM they are pretty good - I have several), BCM GF Stock (my favorite stock), BCM buffer tube, BCM Mod 3 grip (my favorite grip), BCM hanguard, come with what is supposed to be a pretty nice flip up rear...

No shortage here. LGS has plenty at just slightly elevated prices from a month or so ago. He has been having trouble getting M&P10s though.

Mine shoots like his. Nothing to shout about with run of the mill 150s, but outstanding for a non-floated barrel with 168 SMKs.

Just curious as I have some X-bolts and they are my favorite bolt-guns I have ever owned, what kind of problem did you have with yours?

I have a XDM9 that I have used for quite some time in steel matches, and I also have a very low use XDM9 525. Today I shot the 525 in a match with a familiar course of fire. I shot my fastest time ever on one of the two stages (25 plates each @ 45', shooting from 3 different locations). Time...

Shooting with a scope and for use at work in a welding shop. I did some more research and decided to try the ESS Crossbows. If those don't do the trick I think I will try the Oakleys. I am 50 and wear safety glasses most of the day. My eyes are particularly intolerant of distortion in a lens...

Anyone have them? Like them or not worth the money?

I have some 2-stage and a 3-gun... love them.

I have had a couple but not that I can really recommend. They were both RRA. I only shot Corbon factory 300 grain ammo in them and one or two of the locking lugs in the chamber broke off. To RRA's credit they replaced it no problem. Then they had a notice on their website for quite some...

I have AR 500 plates and they start show marks with 223/556 M193 at 50 yards. I shoot pistol, mostly 9mm at them at 15 yards and they don't mark. This is with free hanging targets at a slight angle. Assuming copper and lead bullets and proper hanging of the targets, velocity is what is...

Haven't been impressed by Ruger Hawkeyes.

Modern M70 Winchesters are pretty awesome provided you like a cheek swell. I don't and that breaks the deal for me. I did very well competing with one though. I was impressed with the accuracy, but even more impressed by how POI didn't change during 20 round strings of slow fire (up to 1...

Had the same problem with one of my M1As. SAI is all over with their QC in my experience.
