Most shooters unknowingly cant their guns. :( Vortex makes a good one for $30-35 If ...

Re: Building a rifle

If you want to build one on the Cheap.I would recommend buying a used Remington or Savage action,Get yourself a DROP IN Criterion,Wilson Match Grade or Shilen Select Match.[ Wilson makes Cooper barrels].These barrels can be bought for around $300 to $400,they are threaded,chambered, crowned,lapped. ...

Re: extreme range 600 to 1000 yds
