I didn't ever think I was a gun nut, but after reading Calvin45's remark, I started thinking I don't had 17 guns. So I started counting in my head. That lead to me going to the safe and counting. 28 is what I ended up with and only 3 of them, I would live without.

I use both Lapua and Peterson brass and I can't say one is better than the other. They are so close in quality. I do prefer Peterson though. If for no other reason than it comes in an ammo box with each piece of brass separate from the others. Where Lapua comes lose in a box and while rare, I've...

Well with the parameters you gave, you could go the with most the money in the rifle and cheap glass or cheap rifle and better glass. I would go with either a Savage Axis or a Ruger American. Personally I'd pick the Ruger. That should live about a $1000 for glass. He could buy new, but there's...

If you don't mind them saying Ruger on them, this is what I use. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ruger-Scout-Precision-Rifle-Magazine-308-Winchester-5-Rounds-Steel-Black-90352-/203113679926

I have both. I prefer Peterson because of the way it comes package.

When I reload with Reloader powders my rifles carbon foul quickly, so I do a quick mopping. Other than that, I hardly ever need a deep clean.

Peterson brass is right up there with Lapua brass. Both hold less powder than other brass. I have some of both in non magnum rounds that are going on 15 times reloaded and still looking good. I do prefer Peterson, if for no other reason than how carefully it's packed when you get it. Norma brass...

I had a 3' cheater bar, heat and all my 225 pound bouncing and nothing happened. What did work was a relief cut around the barrel. After that I gave it my all. There was a little pop and I went flying. Good luck.

Berretta A300. They do offer wood stocks and for the money it's a great all round shotgun. They list between $680 (black stock) and $950 (deluxe wood) with basic wood and camo models coming in at $800. Mine listed for $850 and I picked it up on sale for $620. First off, I'm a big Benelli fan...

If you guys are going to ride bicycles and e-bikes, you need to learn the language. No matter how much I like Shrek, the proper term for men of your size and stature is, "Clydesdale".

I know, stupid question, but did you take the coriolis effect into account? I didn't think the Hornady app did this, but I really don't use it.

I own 13 Ruger rifles and 3 Tikkas. All 3 Tikkas shot better 100 yard groups with off the shelf ammo than any of my Rugers. My 1st gen. RPR only would do 3" groups, before I sent it back. The second barrel was just under an inch. I really love my Rugers, but the fact is box stock my Tikkas shot...

When I go out with my CTR target practicing, I always do a 100 yard 3 shot group, just to check zero . So far it's averaged 3/8". My largest group was 1/2". I have a PVA and Bartlein barrels which shoot sub 1/2" but not as good. I just thought it was dumb luck, but it seems I'm not the only...

If you looked in my safe, you'd call me a Ruger fan boy. I've never thought of myself as one, but the numbers don't lie. I own 4 times more Rugers than any other brand. I don't have either of the rifles you asked about, but I would buy the Tikka. I bought the 1st gen RPR on the first run. I...

Yes but with your local government getting rid of all police, to make BLM happy, who will enforce it?
