Hey all, new member here. I searched around for awhile, but didn't see any info on this. I just just bought a new Mini 30 tactical. I shot 100 rounds thru it the other day at the range and when I disassembled it to clean I noticed an odd wear mark on the bolt. A coworker bought the same gun...

Took my new Ruger Mini-Thirty Tactical to the range this morning with 200 rounds of berdan primed ammunition. This was its first time to the range. I fired five types of ammunition through the rifle at 100, 200 and 300 yards: Lapua brass case berdan primed (40 rounds) Wolf Black Box steel...

This past December I purchased a brand new 581 series Mini-14 Tactical (blued/synthetic stock). This is my first semi-auto rifle. I have a few semi-auto pistols and everything else is a bolt rifle or pump shotgun. After a long winter, crappy weather on days off, etc, I finally made it to the...

Hello, What is the best 7/8" wide Weaver scope base to buy??? It will be going on a fairly new Ruger .223 Black Tactical Mini-14. Thanks Pumpdaddy

Bought a Mini 14 Tactical. The one with the 16 inch long 1 in 9 twist barrel. Which RCBS die is recommended. Small base, regular base. I'm confused. I've never loaded rifle bullets and there seem to be more decisions than with handgun bullets. Any other pointers regarding loading .223 is...

Hey guys, I have always wanted a bull barrel .308 tactical "sniper" :rolleyes: style rifle. Any of you have one, and if so what kind of groups do you get right out of the box? I have looked in to Savage and Remington mainly. Like them both. Thanks.
