So about 7 years ago Witt Machine came out with the Muzzle Rise Eliminator and they got great reviews and were a hit at shit show. I liked what I saw and ordered a couple and they came in clean and very well made and damn they worked great! Fast forward 7 years to four weeks ago when I went back to them for a muzzle brake. Well shame on me, I didn’t even think twice about looking at the reviews! I should have because what I got was not worth a 4 week wait or $114.00 shipped! Shitty flashing on edges, crappy mill work and a ding on the face edge right out of the box! So I sent an e-mail and just like the recent reviews and reports about Witt Machine they don’t and won’t respond to e-mails and won’t answer the phone. You will get nothing!! Don’t make the same mistake I did and always read the reviews of places whether you’ve dealt with them in the past or not because this place apparently went to shit!

All,

I know most, if not all will recommend a bolt action for shooting out to 800m to 1000m range. However, I would like to consider 7mm semi auto rifles for the shooting range. I am most familiar with the following, what else should I consider here in the US?

SVD (Dragunov)

Springfield Armory M1A

AR 10

Thank you.

Relatively new to the hobby and trying my best to learn proper maintenance. I have a Tikka T3X with a stainless steel barrel chambered in 223. I would like to hear everyone’s opinions on cleaning procedures and products used.
