Last night I took a friend to the range and with a 20 round box of Hornady 140gr eld match ammo got him a drop chart out to 1,000 yards. He's Air Force, and a life long hunter who has never shot that far. Now he knows how simple it really can be. I call it a prep whenever another good man who...
Just another thought, because a lot of ideas being thrown out there are pretty high dollar. Last night I met a friend of mine at the range. He's in the Air Force, and been a life long hunter. He bought a Ruger American Predator for $500 at Rural King in 6.5cm, put a Vortex Diamondback...
One more rifle to consider that I've never shot, but I like the concept of is the Daniel Defense Delta 5. They simplified a barrel change to a zero talent task and from what I've seen and heard is that they shoot well. One rifle, using the same magazines, using the same scope, with one barrel...
So... first thing I'm going to say is that there's a lot of good advice so far. I started shooting out to 1,000 yards back in '08 and I've shot in competitions like Guardian, Mammoth, Major Land, Accuracy Indiana etc. I've also used the same rifles during deer season. I'm a veteran, but I...
I think it's similar to trying to sell a used rifle with a scope. Everyone has their own opinion of what scope matches whatever rifle for whatever they plan to use it for. With reloading, I think the most common approach is to start small and build up as you go. That's just my opinion, but...
Honestly, the vernier sights were on my list to look at too because they look like they would be more repeatable in terms of their adjustment from one distance to another.
Personally,
I'd make a long list of everything you have, and layout what the price to replace it with new would be today. Then, I'd take that times 50% if you want to sell everything as one big package. The reason I say 50%, is because most folks won't want every piece you're trying to sell...
I've been on the fence about something for a while now and I've decided to get back into the 45-70 game with a Henry. I debated wildly between the all weather picatinny vs the case hardened model finally deciding to go with the case hardened model. It's not my first 45-70 as I've owned a...
Last week my son's scout troop was in the boundary waters in northern Minnesota. It was a good time and the boys got a trip that most men wouldn't do. They paddled over 43 miles and made 6 portages going in and 6 going out with only our last portage taking a single trip. Minimal whining from...
Choosing 4 rifles..... I'm not sure I'd take that many to be honest. I have 4 bolt action rifles that I could take a deer with at 600 or 700 yards max which is about the limit I'd take for a hunting shot, so one of those goes in the vehicle for sure. Next choice would be a fighting rifle or...
I was going to post a link to this same video, but you beat me to it. Even though the Tanker didn't do as well in this video I'd still like to add one to my collection.
I've currently got an M1A scout that I bought to replace one I owned years ago and had since sold to fund other gun projects. I've also owned a few DPMS 308's over the years. If the gun runs and shoots well I tend to like them, regardless of design.
I like the look and feel of an M1A. It's...
I know as far as the ammunition for the rifles go, they've got 300 rounds ish of ammo for them. I can't say thanks enough for all the help here everyone. This information will help them list it or at least know about what they've got.
A buddy from work has a family elder pass away and was asking me if I'd be interested in these old guns. I'm not much of historian or collector, and but I "think" we've got a mauser 98, winchester 97, and some semi auto chambered in the same caliber as the mauser. I'd like to help my friend...
Asking why you'd want a bigger caliber in an awesome gun might be one of the most unamerican things I've ever read on a gun forum. I'll let it slide this time, but next time there will be insults.
Would someone make an M1 Garand in 50 BMG already?
