My friend and I recently gained access to a property that allows us to shoot well beyond 1000 yards. In the past, i've shot a bunch between 600-800 yards, but today is as far as i've ever shot. It was awesome! Once we figured out the wind, it was really easy to make consistent hits every...

I haven't posted here in a long time. In 2011, I bought a Sako TRG-22 in .308. I've been thoroughly impressed with its accuracy and quality, but I'm looking to upgrade for quick change barrels, caliber swaps, and 6.5mm ballistics. I'm just getting back into shooting after going through a...

I had a nice day today at the range with my Sako TRG-22 and one of my AR15’s. Winds were pretty gusty, but otherwise it was a perfect day for shooting. I’m lucky enough to live on a sizable chunk of land in a very rural part of northern PA. From my bench, I have targets mounted at 50, 100...

I'm in the market for a new scope for my Noveske Recon. I stumbled upon an ad for a Leupold Tactical VX-R Patrol 3-9x. At only $600, it looks very appealing. It has a great looking illuminated TMR reticle, 30mm tube, and .1 mil low-profile target turrets. When I spoke with Leupold, they...

I'm considering buying a NF 2.5-10x32mm MRAD with a low Velocity reticle for my 5.56mm Noveske Recon. I currently have a TA31A ACOG on this rifle, but I'd like to move that optic over to a 6920 and get something with more magnification for the Recon. Weight is a factor, and the 21 or so ounce NF...

I've been shooting for a while now, but I've never invested in a small, hand-held ballistic computer. I have a "dumb" cell phone and refuse to buy an I-phone or other smart phone due to the required data plan. I have no virtually no cell service where I live and there are two phones on my...

Earlier this evening, I finally got some trigger time with my Sako TRG-22. I actually bought it back in January but since then I’ve been saving for a S&B 5-25x PMII .1 mil P4f which arrived on Monday. I mounted the S&B in a Spuhr mount which is outstanding. It took me several months of saving...

I know threads like this pop up all the time, but I’m looking for some insight before I make my next optics purchase. I’m set on a mil/mil scope in the 5-22+ power range, but I can’t decide between a NF 5.5-22x mil/MLR highspeed zerostop, Premier 5-25x Gen2 XR, or the S&B 5-25x P4F .1 mil CCW...

I've read in a couple of places that NightForce will soon be releasing some new reticles. Does anyone have any solid info or ETA regarding this? I'm in the market for a NXS, but I'm not totally satisfied with the MLR or the NP-R1 (these are the two I'm considering, but I haven't decided...

Christmas came a little early for me today. I treated myself to a Sako TRG-22 from Euro Optics this afternoon. It's still going to be a month before I can afford the optics, mount, and bipod that I'd like, but in the meantime I wanted to start getting ready. I'm looking for ideas for a...

I just put a downpayment on a Sako TRG-22 and I'm now trying to decide which mounting system to use. My dealer has the OEM Sako 3 ring mount for $350, the Near Alphamount is $325, and the Sphur system is closer to $400. I plan on selling my current Leupold MK4 6.5-20x50mm and replacing it with...

A little over a year ago, I got into long range shooting. I bought a .308 Remington 5R which has proven to be an exceptional value and a great shooter. That said, I’m thinking about selling the 5R and putting the funds toward a Sako TRG 22 or something similar. I’ve got a fairly tight budget...

While I’ve been shooting AR’s, hunting rifles, shotguns and pistols for a while, I’m new to precision shooting. For the last few months I’ve been piecing together my first long range precision rig. The rifle is a Remington .308 5R. My initial impression was very favorable. The stock is...

I've decided to buy a Nightforce 5.5-22x50mm NXS for my new Remington 5R .308. I just got back from my local NF dealer where I looked through the only 5.5-22 model he stocked. This particular scope had a NP-R1 which, based on my research, is the reticle I thought I'd like best. However, it...
