    Downsides to cheap rings?

    So I've always read not to go with cheap rings, and I've used a few sets as well as a few sets of decent rings like the Burris Signature Zee rings and the Leupold rings. Obviously there is a huge difference. By cheap rings, I mean the package deal rings that come on guns, or the $7 Weavers they...

    I've heard lots of talk about this lately, but what exactly do you guys use? I'm just not sure what to buy. What are the pro's and con's to it?

    Is .223 brass and 5.56 brass interchangeable?

    A friend and I were talking who has a .223 and it was brought up that 5.56 guns can shoot 5.56 or .223 as they are interchangeable, but not vise versa. So that made me wonder. When reloading, can you use 5.56 brass in place of .223 brass and just load it to .223 specs and shoot it in a gun rated...

    Brass that has had dirt inside of it.

    So a couple of weeks ago I was at the range and picked up a ton of brass someone had left on the ground. The problem was some of it had dirt inside of it. All of it was dirty on the outside with the exception of about 60 pieces of rifle brass. Anyway, I didn't have time to mess with it until...

    Redfield Ultimate Illuminator

    Anyone have one of these? How are they? How do they compare to modern day scopes? For some reason I really like the look of these scopes, and have wanted one for a while, but unfortunately I've not found one for sale for what I'm willing to pay. A friend has one, but doesn't really have...

    Browning BAR scope bases and accuracy?

    So I was talking to a local gunsmith that's got a BAR himself, as well as recently buying one for his wife. He has owned several throughout his life. When I've told him about the accuracy I'm getting, he suggested that I change the base. He told me that the first one he had, he got it shooting...

    Remington 740/742

    So what's you guys general opinions on this? Do they have issues with the rails wearing out? I'd always heard that the bolt is harder metal than the receiver rails which causes the rails to get chewed up turning them into a jammo matic. If this is true, do you guys have any links to any sites to...

    What accuracy do you get from your Browning BAR's

    Just as the title says on average, what kind of accuracy do you get from your Browning BAR at 100 yards. I don't mean that once or twice amazing group, but the average normal everyday group. Feel free to post targets if you wish.

    Burris Signature Zee Rings

    So I've used these and imo they are the best rings I've ever used in the under $100 price range. I love these things. One thing that has come across my mind though, is how are these things going to be in 30 years. I'm just wondering if the plastic inserts are going to be cracking, and just...

    How to contact Winchester.

    I bought a box of Winchester buckshot and noticed upon opening it that the crimp on one shell is coming up and white stuff (not sure if it's powder or what) is coming out of the top. I went to their website to get a phone number so I could give them a call. To my surprise I couldn't find an...

    Have you ever had a Nikon Prostaff fail?

    Just looking for peoples experiences when it comes to the durability of the Prostaff scopes. Obviously the optical clarity isn't the best, but they are also pretty cheap. I wondered how the durability is.

    What's the proper way to install these rings?

    I have a set of Millet vertical split rings. This set to be exact http://swfa.com/Millett-22-Cal-Aluminum-Vertical-Split-1-Rings-P9542.aspx That being said, I know this rings are pretty crappy which is why I took them off and have had them sitting in a box for a while. Anyway, I need a set...

    Does brass go bad?

    I had a guy give me some older brass today. Some of it's probably 20-30 years old at least. Anyway, I've got it in the tumbler now, and I don't think brass goes bad, but I just wanted to make sure. Is there anything to look for on this other than typical case or neck splits? He says the brass is...

    What do you do when your gun gets wet in the rain?

    So as I was shooting today it started pouring down. I shot a few more minutes, and then left. I wiped the gun off right then, and when I got home, I wiped it down with CLP. Is this the proper method? What do you guys do?

    Can anyone provide me with cites for this?

    I'm looking at the ATF site, but can't find it. Anyway, I know that it's illegal to buy guns with the intent of selling them for a profit. Anyway, a guy on another forum I'm on keeps saying that it's not illegal and just a typical private sale. I want to prove him wrong, as well as prove to any...

    Is there anything to look for when buying ammo from an individual?

    So I was looking in the weekly classified paper and someone had some Federal American Eagle .40 S&W for $10 a box. I'm planning to buy it, but one concern I had, is there anyway to make sure it's not re loads? He says it's factory ammo and that he'd never buy or shoot re loads, but is there a...

    I don't understand people like this.

    I'm sure you all have friends like this too. Anyway, it seems like I often have either friends, or people that I talk to every once in a while that run out of money and have to sell guns. Every time I ask about buying them, they give me an almost new price. For example a friend had a Remington...

    Remington 715

    Where exactly do the Remington 715's fit in their product line? How is the quality of them. I'm just basically wondering if they are another version of the 710/770, or if they are something better than either of those two pieces of crap. Just for the record, I don't own or even want a 715, I...

    Anyone know what scope comes on the Savage XP package deals?

    So I was looking at a .22 Savage Mark II BTV XP package deal at Dicks Sporting Goods and it had a scope that said Bushnell on it. Anyone know which one this is? It looked pretty crappy, so I just wanted to find out what model it was to see how much they sell for just out of curiosity. Pretty...
