    To clean your gun or not to clean your gun-thats my question

    Cleaning the rifle can mean different things I believe the action and chamber should be cleaned after every hunt or trip to the range especially gas guns. I don't want carbon ground into the precision fit parts as they move. the barrel is another story I only run a nylon brush through with a...

    Labradar- What’s needed?

    I have never used a blast shield even with Ultramags with brakes I just moved it out of the blast path works fine but a solid stand or tripod is a must! If your shooting session is more than an hour or two at a time get the battery pack and any good USB battery pack will work.

    338 build advice

    My vote is for the 338 RUM ! You can buy factory ammo fits in a standard Remington long action. Has the horse power to reach out with bullets up to 300gr .Will do everything a Lapua will do cheaper. My rifle will consistently put down groups of five shots all touching at 200yds Since it is your...

    smallest practical lathe for chambering and threading

    I think I would look at it as what is the biggest lathe I can fit in my garage /shop. I have a 15x50 turnmaster and it is great but as your skills and experience grow you will feel very restricted by a smaller machine. And yes the cost of the machine is small compared to GOOD tooling . Don't...

    Any 6.8 SPC shooters here

    With a pistol configuration I would definitely be looking at red dot. getting on target quick will be difficult with a scope on a pistol platform. Not likely to get much range from such a short pipe. I have been having success with my 512 trijicon and it uses AA batteries. What bullets you plan...
