Given the recent draconian autocratic statements about banning "assault rifles" by the New Zealand prime minister, and U.S. Dems parroting same, I got to thinking, what would I do if it happened here? I have some AR's that I am somewhat fond of, including one with a White Oak upper with a...

Thanks folks. I just now ordered one from Brunos, plus the mounting plate, an SD card and the battery pack. All were in stock. I did not get the case because I have a heavy cordura briefcase by Eddie Bauer that is just the right size to hold it all. Not worried about the difficult interface...

I almost pulled the trigger on a Labradar today, but then I found that Brownell's 10 percent off plus free shipping over $250 didn't apply to Labradar or accessories. Not that it should kill the deal, but I have lingering questions. Principally, this thing is not useful to me if I have to set...

I will say that before I grounded my Chargemaster Combo I would notice some variation creep in throughout a loading session as I removed the pan to dump powder. It would start out reading -152.9 then go to -152.8 after 30 or so loads and then -152.7 and so on. This caused me to lose confidence...

Maybe 8 or 10 years ago Precision Shooting had an article by a guy who made his own wind flags. I started with his design and modified it to use my own thoughts and available materials. It was a fun and rewarding project and they have served me well. They are easy to set up and take down and are...

I know this thread is about the Lite. I just want to make the point that I grounded the frame of my regular Chargemaster Combo years ago and it has been dead-on stone reliable ever since. I fire it up and after a few minutes I remove the pan. If it reads -152.9 or whatever it usually does, I...

Why spend 40 bucks when a boot lace and a dime do the job? See it on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVacK49mjDc I have used this method on Rem 700 and 40X bolts. For firing pin spring removal, you'll want a tool.

I use Imperial Sizing Wax on both the expander mandrel and the turning mandrel. Works very well. Then I tumble the newly turned brass with stainless steel pins, some dish detergent and Lemishine in my Thumler's rock tumbler. It cleans it all out and smooths the just-turned necks. I am intrigued...

I'm going to go with H4350 for loads with several bullets. 120 Nosler Solid Base, 120 TTSX, 120 Rem CL, 130 TSX and 140 Rem CL. I'm not going to bother with the 160 round nose. I don't need maximum penetration. I'm not going to be shooting elephants of even elk. I have a Pecar 4-10x scope on...

I have three Coopers. They all are bedded a little ahead of the action, for what it's worth. They all have triggers that go down to 10 ounces and no lower. I also have two real benchrest rifles, fully floated, which I bought used. They are more accurate than my Coopers, and they both have 1.5...

See what you're local club is shooting first. I am not close to any IR50/50 matches other than Country Pond, in Southern NH. They are heavily sporter oriented. The majority of cards will be shot with one. I had to scratch to get one of my rifles to make 7.5 pounds. My first experience there was...

So these two cows are out lying in a field and they're having a good gossip. The subject rolls around to health concerns for cattle, and the first cow says to the second cow, "So, what do you think of this mad cow disease? Shame, isn't it?" The second cow stares at the first cow for a second and...

+1 on that. Amen to the hand warmers at anything less than 50 degrees.

What we project into the outside world and what we take from it require our constant discernment. Where and how do you want to communicate your innermost thoughts? Write a book? Send a letter? Start a blog? Post to a forum? Talk to your wife or neighbor or talk to your cat? Maybe we just decide...

Thanks, guys. That's quite a mixed bag of results cited in that American Rifleman article. I wonder why he settled for such a low velocity with Varget and the 160 round nose when he had got substantially more with Norma MRP and the 156 Oryx? Maybe he was looking to stay within a particular...

Hello. We’ve been down this road before, but this time I have more information for you. The rifle is a modern Steyr SBS Ferdinand Mannlicher commemorative in 6.5x54 MS. This is essentially the same rifle as they are producing now in .300 Weatherby and other stout calibers, so strength is not in...

Get one for $599 at Natchez Shooter's Supply. I have always been suspicious of the "specialty" uncataloged Weavers on Natchez. I'm surprised to see this one show up on Optics Planet.

So, I'm thinking maybe a long tub of water with one end a self-sealing membrane that you shoot through. Would that work? Of course not in winter when it would freeze.

I used to do push-ups and thought I liked it. Last time I tried it I fell on my face and almost broke my nose. Went skiing last year for the first time in about 8 years. I learned the meaning of "I've fallen and I can't get up." The irony of F-class is that when you are old enough to see it as...

What are your goals for this contraption? It's not a backstop, or you'd likely just use dirt or sand. Are you intending to recover the spent bullets, and if so, what do you intend to learn from them? Are you going to contain it somehow in a box of some sort, or just pile it up? Are you going...
