Hey gents I am seeking your input into what caliber I should barrel my FN SPR action in? It's got a 308 bolt face, and will be run with CDI bottom metal and AI mags. Barrel is gonna be a Brux between 20-22 inches in a bull sporter contour all sat in a Manners T6A elite carbon. I'm intending it...

Haven't been around much, but have been busy. Gonna try to keep them around till fall

I am going to begin collecting the parts to build my hunting rifle. I am looking to build a rifle I can use to hunt varmints and small to medium game. What caliber do you all think would be ideal to build the rifle around that would suit my purpose? I want it to be at the minimum a 6mm, but...

If one was looking at a 18" barreled 308 versus a 7-08 sporting a 20-22" barrel, what would the down range difference be considering velocity and energy? Would it depend on the type of bullet used in each rifle? May have another project on the fire [emoji6]

Just picked this bad-boy up from the shop...opening the pelican was like opening a chest of gold. I had to pry it from my shop owners hands. Everyone in the shop wouldnt give me 5 minutes to go over the rifle. Fit and finish are out of this world. I though the rifle would be heavy but honestly...

What do you all think is the ideal NE hunting rifle and caliber? I like both bolts and levers. I already have a nice 45-70 Marlin, and if I wasnt in a bind I found a 35 REM JM stamp Marlin. I was thinking a 30-06 if I was to run a bolt action, in of couse a CRF Model 70 or a custom built off a...

What would be a fair price for a CZ452 Style, never fired, topped with a Zeiss Conquest 3-9 with Talley mounts?

My dad is looking into a rifle for use around the farm. We have a lot of problems with deer, coyotes, and other critters that the state allows us to shoot on sight... He has never hunted, nor shot any rifle other then a 22 LR (I did get him to shoot a 3" slug out of my 870 once; that was fun...

Anyone try their match ammo? Looking into their 308 match loads...

Tomorrow I put the deposit on a custom Accurate Ordnance barreled action built off of a Stiller Tac30 AW action with a Brux barrel chambered in 308. Still going to need to find a stock, bottom metal, and trigger but for now that can wait until the barreled action is paid for.

I am having some strange thoughts of selling off my 22 LR CZ 452. The shortage on 22 ammo has me afraid to shoot it, although I do have a small stash of 22 LR. Do you think the 22 ammo will come back like it was before this "shortage: began? Wise decision to send it down the road or hold on to...

What can be said of the Tikka T3 line of rifles? I have run across one and for the price it seems very nice. I have also seen reports of their stellar accuracy. Anyone have some helpful insight/firsthand experience they can share? Specifically, how do they compare to the other PF rifles on the...

Instead of picking up a 308, I have a few feelers out there and am sitting on a quote for some work on my Montana 1999 7-08. I am lining up a Manners stock; either the MCS-TA or T2A in GAP camo. The rifle currently has a B&C Medalist that I am not crazy about. Sitting on a quote from Short...

With a 7mm08 in the stable, I am questioning whether a 308 (FN SPRA1) is going to be a good purchase, as the 7mm08 with 140's for hunting and 160's for targets seems to overlap significantly with the 308 Winchesters offerings, with the .284 offering better ballistics.... Thoughts? The other...

I need your help ladies and gents. I am looking into a scope for a designated LR rig (FN SPR in 308). Use will be mainly for target shooting/steel punching and maybe a hunt or two. If it featured a FFP reticle, MIL/MIL adjustments, and either a 30mm or 34mm tube that would be ideal. Glass on...

Looking at both scope brands for the rifle I am working on picking up soon, the FN SPR in 308. Scope/rifles purpose is paper punching, steel ringing, and maybe some hunting. Price is about the same on them both, so its a toss up. http://www.steiner-optics.com/riflescop ... ry-3-15x50...

Hey all, So I have been doing some lurking a bit, with the sole intent of finding a precision 308. Goal is to learn LR shooting beyond what the 'Corps has taught me. Going to eventually take a class on it as well. I was really digging the FN SPR line of rifles, but I just had to lurk on...

I was browsing Kimbers website and I have to say one model really got my attention; http://www.kimberamerica.com/1911/tacti ... stom-hd-ii I will try to track one down, and if I like how it feels in my hands, I may be in trouble. It just may be my gift to myself for getting into Law...

I need some input on a good, solid, and reliable climbing tree stand. I dont mind spending a little bit of money. I will be putting it to good use this fall, hopefully. Figure a climbing stand beats a fixed stand in the sense I can move around if the deer /hogs have changed routes?

Hi all, I just placed the order with Weatherby for a new stock for my gf's Vanguard Series 2. Its a surprise for her upcoming birthday; she has been wanting a different stock then the plain-jane black one. What will I need to put the new stock on her barreled action, and how easy will it be? I...
