WTB - 7.5 x 55 Swiss

Just picked up a K31 Swiss, I'm guessing ammo manufacturers aren't making much of this right now and are focused on the more popular calibers. Looking for a few boxes just so I can put a few rounds downrange with my "new" rifle. Willing to pay cash or possibly trade once fired 5.56 brass i...

Re: Remington 700 SPS AAC-SD Sight In

@harryset as hardh20 opined this was at the 100 yard range at Oakdale Gun Club. After two range sessions it has 120 rounds down the pipe. It's been shooting well since the first box of ammo, so I didn't do any of the fabled "barrel break in" procedures other than a good cleaning after each...

Re: Scope Mount Opinions

Thanks for the advice everyone. Erud, especially your note about adjustment for eye relief. I suppose i took for granted that I'd be able to get the scope set right where I wanted it in an all-in-one unit. I wound up going with a Nightforce X-Treme Duty 1 piece steel base with 20 MOA slope and the N...

Re: Scope Mount Opinions

Although the majority of the time I'll be at either 100 yards or 200 meters, I'm building this rifle with 500+ yard capabilities in mind. Hence why I'm looking at a 20 MOA base. Those Burris rings are intriguing with the swappable inserts from concentric to 20 MOA, but the idea of more parts also gi...

Scope Mount Opinions

Looking for opinions on a scope mount for my new Remington 700 SPS AAC-SD in .308. Going to be mounting a Vortex Viper PRS 4-16 X 50 FFP on it. I've been looking hard at these one piece Nightforce mounts: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/2268297692/nightforce-ultralite-1-piece-20-moa-scope-base-with...

Re: Birthday Present to Myself

Finally got the new beast out to the range today. Only at 10 yards, but for my first time with it I'm plenty happy with this 50 round group.

Birthday Present to Myself

Just picked up a 1983 vintage Ruger Redhawk Hunter in 44 Mag. In great shape with solid cylinder lock-up. Was in the used case at Virginia Surplus for $649, but I talked them down to $550.

Happy belated birthday to me! :D

Rochester FFL

My brother lives in Rochester and is looking for an FFL to have a handgun shipped to. Apparently the cheapest he's found so far is asking $60. Any recommendations?

Re: Carrying on the job

My former employer of 12.5 years issued a new policy immediately after passage of the MCPPA that forbade employees from carrying a firearm anywhere in the course or scope of employment. For purposes of my work in the office I abided by that rule for the most part. There were some exceptions where ce...
