I bought a X-Bolt Max Long Range in .300 Win Mag last week and put a Nikon FX1000 4-16x on it. I bought some Federal Premium with 185g Berger Hunter Hybrids and Hornady Superformance with 180gr SSTs to test it out.
I went to the range today to break it in and give it a go. About 40*F, 70%...
I went to pick up some stuff for the 110 Elite Precision and lo and behold this beauty was waiting for me. X-bolt Max Long Range in .300 Win Mag with a 20 MOA rail and a Nikon fx1000 4x-16x I had left in the closet. I also grabbed up some 4350, dies and shell holder, and 5 boxes of ammunition...
I reached out to the coach at a facility in Minnesota that trains biathletes. It'll be totally new to me and I just got back onto skis again last year after a long time away. I'm certainly not going to go buy some $4500 Anschutz rifle; I'll probably end up trying it with a Ruger American if I...
Anyone here from Alaska? I'm planning a trip up there this August or September and looking for an area to rent a cabin out in the boonies. Anyone have suggestions for areas to look through?
I just added a .338 Lapua precision rifle to my stable. I have a slick .30-06 and a couple .308s as well. I'm looking for a proper rifle to fill in the space between those. I hear great things about the Browning Max Long Range so that'll likely be the platform I choose. I'm looking at...
My cousin and I took his son to the rifle range yesterday. It was the kid's first trip and he was definitely excited; he'd been waiting for it a long time. He's nine years old and on the mild end of the autism spectrum so we watched him like a hawk the entire time. He was incredibly well...
I just landed a job with a new firm that gives me a $50,000 per year raise and plenty of room to grow! Now I have to figure out what to do with the new gains...
Poor me :)
I put my Victor .308 through some ammunition tests today. It did great with 147gr FMJ and 4064, terrible with 150gr FMJ from 3 brands and a handload with IMR 4895, and great with two different well-made 165gr rounds using both 4064 and IMR 4895, all at 2.800. Good lord that's a picky rifle. 3...
I was searching for some 4064 powder tonight and I came across loaded-firearms.com. They show a lot of product in stock, including primers and powder. This looks way to good to be true to me and they have two different phone numbers and addresses on their website so I'm not at all convinced...
I can't find my 165gr SSTs at the moment so I bought some closeout 165gr GMXs for my Victor .308. I loaded both to 2.800 inch. The SSTs are above 42.5gr IMR 4895, the GMXs are above 42.5gr of 4064. I compared both of them this morning. About 34 degrees with a 30mph wind from my rear left...
I'm going through a bunch of boxes from the basement and I found three 20-round M1A magazines from a rifle I sold well over a decade ago ($55 for just one of those now) and two boxes of 50 Barnes TSX bullets I haven't seen in store or online in almost two years. Also many packs of bulk bullets...
Have any of you used Hornady's SSTs in your hunting rifles? I put together a batch of 50 165s over IMR 4895 and got a ~1.2 inch group at 100 with my Saint .308 and a Sig Tango4 1-4x. That's a lot better results than I thought I'd get. I'm very happy with the precision from those bullets but...
I got to take my dad to my outdoor range this Saturday. It's over an hour from his place meaning we had plenty of time to talk about nothing in particular in the Jeep, which we haven't had a chance to do for a while. I brought my VP40, 686, and Super Redhawk .44. He's an old paratrooper but...
I set up a seller account so I can try to move my 1863 Springfield replica. They ask for two types of ID and a picture of me with them. Is the site legit and safe? I'm uncomfortable with sending that kind of information out.
I'm going to take a risk with this post, knowing it could go off the rails but hoping we can all be civil and productive. I'll ask posters to not soapbox on any particular party or specific issue and keep it on target. I've been giving a lot of thought to how we can make the United States...
