My police sniper rifle had 10k documented rounds. It started life as Remington 700 30-06 in the 80's. It was sent to H&S Precision about 1989 and re-barreled into a 308. When I received it a few years later it had less than 400 rounds thru it. I shot between 80-140 rounds per month on average...

Valid points by all, probably not gonna get what you want with those requirements. Maybe a used safe if you find one. I was SWAT for nearly 17 years, never came across I couldn't get into. But, we had tools and time, lots of time. The 1% criminals, as I call them, won't be able to get into a...

I literally just sent my new Leupold VX6HD back. Would not hold zero. They paid for shipping. I purchased it thru Eurooptic as a demo. It didn't have optical zero or hold zero. It happens, problems arise. I've always had great history with Leupold and customer service, so i use them always...

I'd check the receiver bolts first. Scope base and rings next. I'd go as far as removing everything and and start over. I seriously doubt that 1500 rounds would wear it out, it's not a magnum round. My police sniper rifle had 10k documented rounds before I noticed any increase in my group sizes...

Marlin came out with a Dark Series (30-30 and 45-70) recently both are offered with threaded barrels, XS Ghost sights, rail, large loop lever, paracord sling, black stocks and parkerized finish. Just a thought if you have a supressor or wanted one. Pistol calibers are also there.

I live in South Florida and hunt in Georgia and W.VA. My zero is set in high heat and humidity. Hunting at elevation in W.VA of 3000 ft and @40 degree temps the change was minor for hunting, not enough for me to make any adjustments. With that being said, shooting sub moa at ranges out to 500...

The real question is are you buying off the shelf or building one yourself or professionally? The same with ammo? With a budget of $1000's of dollars someone can build it the way you want. Realistically, off the shelf is a 10lb'r with optics and can with factory off the shelf ammo shooting @1moa...

Based on your information; stay away from anything with optics, it'll never hold zero bouncing around and wasted money. Ruger American/Predator has a great selection in many calibers. Or go cowboy as one poster said, lever action! The original truck gun! Pistol calibers are available or go big...

I wear hearing aids now because of hearing loss associated with firearms. I've been using Howard Leight electronic head phones for awhile. 2 benefits; sound protection and I can hear things very far off. Even using suppressors while hunting I use them. Turn the volume all the way and you'd be...

Mocking bird 25 yards, Daisy Red Ryder (40's or early 50's era). Belonged to my dad when he was a kid. I was 11 and watched the BB arch in flight and make impact. Antelope 487 yards

I travelled to Wyoming for antelope and deer in 2016 and again in 2018 on a DYI hunt on public land/walk-in area. My friends(3) and I drove from Miami, 3 days and 2500 miles one way. We all tagged out on antelope in 2016, meat hunt no trophies. On the first day of deer on the that same 2016 hunt...

Insert the EMPTY, live-primered ,CASING back into the chamber if it will fit. CLOSE the bolt and fire the rifle< This should dislodge the bullet to clear the end of the barrel. DOES THIS WORK?? Could save a hunt!.....BUD I wouldn't do this either. You can induce a squib round. Now the bullet...

My first attempt to reloading was with a 50 BMG. I had never loaded any ammo in my life so this was very exciting and scary at the same time. I mean it, loading 210 plus grains of powder for the first time, WOW! Anyways, onetime I drove the 60 minutes to shoot at 1000 yards from home and a...

I agree, but its also about what's in your budget and affordable. I know guys who cant rub 2 nickels together but when it comes to their guns and hunting, the sky is the limit! .......

Heading to Georgia Thursday for archery hunt, haven't looked at the temps yet, but expect it to be warm as usual this time of year. I hunt from an elevated box blind wearing shorts. I'll wear leafy wear with t-shirt underneath, light gloves and facial covering. Firm believer in breaking up...
