      Keeping moisture out of a safe

      A golden rod in a climate controlled room is the only safe thing to do. Some of the desiccants are salt based, so be very careful. While they are collecting water, they will still rust your stuff over time. Plus i've monitored the humidity with various types of desiccants and it doesn't do...

      Need a Ruger POrecision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor TODAY (June 30, 2016)

      There are 3 distinct differences: gen 2 has smoother lower profile hand guard, a muzzle brake, and a metal bolt shroud. Each of the 3 upgrades can be bought individually and put on a gen 1, but it is MUCH cheaper to just buy the gen 2 if you want all 3 factory upgrades.

      Ambercrombie & Fitch rifle

      Through some internet stalking, I was able to track down two guys that I think can shed some light on the history of them, and I've already heard back from one. The first is the archivist at Griffin & Howe. He seems to have some records of model numbers and serial numbers of A&F guns sold...

      Ambercrombie & Fitch rifle

      Can anyone shed some light on these rifles? I picked up one today from the original owner (bought in mid to late 80's). on a commercial mauser action, a very slick monte carlo style stock with rollover comb that mimics a Weatherby mark V stock, and 24" barrel 243 Win. Gun manufacturer is...

      Why clean brass?

      Helps get out the unburnt powder as well. Clean brass = more consistency.

      Need a Ruger POrecision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor TODAY (June 30, 2016)

      Green Top had a 1st gen 243 Win for $1,149 on the shelf (it had scratches, and has already sold). Another gun shop had a 1st gen 6.5 for $1,090 and another store near Harrisonburg had one for same price. Green Top has a backorder on 2nd gens for $1,349. Hopkins gun and tackle got in two 2nd...

      Need a Ruger POrecision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor TODAY (June 30, 2016)

      I've got one on order, will advise when I get it and then when I have it setup and ready to shoot. I ordered the 18008, which is the "2nd gen" or "enhanced" 6.5 Creedmoor.

      Need a Ruger POrecision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor TODAY (June 30, 2016)

      Dance's Sporting Goods in Richmond Va had one of each for $1,249 this past weekend. I am going to wait for sales later this year and hope they are around $1,000 to $1,100.

      Need a Ruger POrecision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor TODAY (June 30, 2016)

      So how are the RPR's shooting? I hand load, but hornady match loads with new ELD Match bullets I would have no reservations about. It looks like street pricing of the RPR is still around $1,100 plus tax +/- $50...?

      MDS Long Range Class with Ed Shell

      VIR is a real racetrack :D

      MDS Long Range Class with Ed Shell

      I already had 15 people hounding me to find a 1,000 yard range, so the moment I rented it, it was already full. It's available throughout the year and available to anyone, so I'm really of no special use :)

      MDS Long Range Class with Ed Shell

      VIR (Virginia International Raceway) has a 1,000 yard range available for $125/hr. I've rented it for a day this coming September. I'll report back here afterwards to let everyone know how it is.

      Optic for 6.5 Creedmoor Build

      My $390 on sale ($600+MSRP) SFP 5-15x40 Bushnell Elite Tactical LRS with mil dot reticle and AO parallax got me out to 1,200 yards consistently with my 6mm. It's on an EGW HD 20 moa rail. You don't have to spend a lot of money, just be very picky in your scope selection, and buy at the right...

      MDS Long Range Class with Ed Shell

      I took the 4th class and was so impressed, I talked my wife into taking a 1 day version of it today. With having shot maybe 20 rounds through a rifle prior to today, she walked away today with the following: -A great understanding of body position and handling skills. -A 5 shot group with...

      New 22-250 Varmint Rifle

      I have a Model 700 Varmint 22-250 (26" bull barrel) that is also 1:14. According to Remington, it was designed for 45 to 55 grain bullets. I haven't developed a load for it yet, but if you hand load, I'll follow this thread to see what you find is the most accurate for yours. I have some 52...

      MDS Long Range Class with Ed Shell

      www.SWFA.com has scope bubble levels half off this week, $19.99. Very wise investment for long range shooting.

      MDS Long Range Class with Ed Shell

      I promised a review of the class last week, but work has had me swamped, so I'm typing up something quick while at work. The two day class for $200 should be a crime...it's worth double or triple that. You'll leave with a better understanding of how scopes work, proper body position, and how...

      which to build up next: 7mm rm or 300 wm

      The ballistic tables are pretty close. In thinking of trying the 7mm first, simply because the recoil is a little better and it takes about 10 grains less powder.
