    Choose a barrel:

    I'm probably in the minority, but if we are talking AR platform and I was going to shoot high volume I would look for a barrel that didn't cost a lot so I could replace it as need be. I just built a rifle using a Ballistic Advantage 16" mid-length 5.56 1:7 twist Hanson barrel and I'm...

    Anyone here use other archery forums?

    I spend a fair amount of time over on ArcheryTalk as well..... And like you, my wallet is bleeding profusely and there is notaa tourniquet in sight. As far as crossbows are concerned, I live in Florida and on WMAs you can only use them during Archery season if you are disabled and have a special...

    Best budget bow

    After not bowhunting for over 25 years I decided to get back into the game this year and started looking into bows and accessories. The first thing I noticed was was all the advancements in bow technology and the even further advancement in bow prices! After doing quite a bit of research and...

    Nikon Warranty Update

    I don't think that will fly either. I doubt they will make it retroactive, just optics moving forward. Hopefully folks out there who have Nikon optics (I have one on my 10/22) need to make sure they have/keep their receipts to prove their optic was purchased before this new warranty disclaimer...

    Anybody own a Bergara ridge?

    As far as I know every firearm manufacturer states that the use of reloads will void the warranty. For example..... Sraight out of Glock's Owners Manual: Only use high quality commercially manufactured ammunition in the same caliber as your GLOCK pistol. (Note: Use of reloaded, remanufactu-red...

    Anybody own a Bergara ridge?

    I'd say that group was a winner! If I were to have issues with it piercing primers I would just send it to Bergara and have them correct the issue.

    Anybody own a Bergara ridge?

    I guess I am one of the lucky ones because I have one in 6.5mm CM that I bought for my wife and I haven't had any issues whatsoever. In fact, it's probably the most accurate rifle in the house because I shot (3) 4 round groups under 0.5 inches with the best being 0.38 inch using Hornady ELD when...

    Help me pick a Rifle sling

    The slings I use and recommend are the Slingster (https://ferroconcepts.com/products/the-slingster) or the Blue Force Gear Vickers sling - Padded (https://www.blueforcegear.com/custom-padded-vickers-sling). I started using them on my AR rifles and found they worked better on my hunting rifles...

    Hog hunting in southeast U.S.

    I'll go with the others who recommend Florida. I live in the Clermont area which is about 30 minutes West of Orlando and there are hogs all over the place. You can drive around in the evenings and see wild hogs feeding beside the road all the time. I was on my way to a Turkey hunt in March and...

    Bergara B-14 Hunter -- Your thoughts/possible issues?

    I've been using Eezox for years, it goes on every firearm and carbon steel knife I own. One of the things I like about it is it's thin and dries nicely without being sticky or gummy like other protectants. Fantastic product and I've never had anything rust even when I've been caught in the rain...

    Bergara B-14 Hunter -- Your thoughts/possible issues?

    I purchased a Bergara B-14 Ridge in 6.5mm CM a couple of months ago and I haven't had any issues with primers, bolt shroud, etc. Perhaps I am just lucky or they have corrected the manufacturing issues. Regardless, I am very happy with it and it's by far my most accurate rifle shooting consistent...

    Which cheek rest for bergara b-14 ridge

    I recently purchased my Bergara B-14 Ridge and after I installed the Vortex Viper HS-T 4-14x44 scope, 20 MOA scope rail and Burris XTR Signature rings (Low), I find the height of the stock riser is just a little too low. I have performed a "Search" of the forum and after reading numerous posts I...

    SELLER: crazyhorse

    I purchased a Scope from crazyhorse and it was flawless. The scope was packaged so well it could have been it could have been dropped from a 10 story building and remained untouched. The deal went smoothly except the USPS decided to lose my Priority letter with the payment in it for a week...

    Tikka T3x or Bergara B-14 in 6.5 CM

    Well I ended up ordering the Bergara B-14 Ridge today because I felt it better suited my needs. Before I did, I went to a couple of LGS so that I could compare more samples of each. What I found was the Tikka actions were ever so slightly smoother as I previously noted. The Tikka trigger was...
