Becoming competent left handed with a right handed bolt action

I am right handed, right eye dominant, shoot bolt actions with both eyes open. I want to get much better with using my left hand, left eye and shoulder, for reasons. Of course the answer is just do it and go shoot a lot. But.

Do you have any suggestions on techniques for getting positioned properly on a right handed rifle? Do I just mirror my right handed positions ? Trigger, eye relief, lop, left hand on trigger, right on bag, cycle the action with the right hand, etc. or is shooting left handed by a righty better done some other way?

I don’t want to buy a dedicated left handed rifle

Thanks for any tips from those that have done it.

❓ How Can I Determine the FoV at Magnifications other than Min. and Max. Given in the Specs?

❓ How can you determine what the FoV of a scope is — at magnifications other than the minimum and maximum values given in the manufacturer's specs?


Besides the obvious, of course 😉:
"Buy the scope, set out a tape measure, record, caluclate — done."


➧ But, before I bite the bullet and type my CC number in the field.... — I'd like to know what FoV I can expect at different magnifications.

Because to me FoV is a big deal. To March it was so much that they developed their Wide Angle scopes.


🔶 Just to see what FoV are typical — I did a little survey of manufacturer published FoV (min. and max. magnification). The table below shows the data I found.

Kimber M84 308 barrel options

as the title states I have an M84 I’m looking to rebarrel. This rifle has never shot decent but I didn’t know any better at the time of purchase. Bought a bore scope and was disappointed in the way things looked.

I like the feel of the action as well as the rifles weight, but I want more accuracy.

Are these actions worth getting trued and rebarreled? If so, what barrel manufactures do you all suggest?

Are there magnified optics without a fixed eye relief?

❓ Are there magnified optics without a fixed eye relief?


Sorry for flaunting my optics ignorance so unabashedly with this question..... 🤦🏻‍♂️


I love my red dots:
No matter where my eye is — sometimes 2 feet away from the optic, sometimes almost touching it — I always have a shot.

However, I'd like something with a little more magnification, even 2x or 3x would be great.

I understand that adding a magnifier will change my eye relief — and my unlimited-eye-relief red dot turns into a regular scope with a fixed eye relief of only a few inches.


➧ Is there anything out there that will do this trick?
➧ Or are we still waiting for that innovation?


Thanks! 👍🏼

Inverted Tripod Sling Ideas?

Any good suggestions on how to run a sling on an Inverted Tripod?

I use the cole tac tripod sling on a normal tripod and it works great, but can't think of a good way to run one on an inverted tripod for NRL Hunter matches when you have to stow all your gear... some people run the OBI system and clip them to their pack, but $150 seems like a lot to hang a tripod to a bag.

Ideas?

300 BLK various barrel lengths velocity subsonic and supersonic.

I had a chance to get to the range and shoot my 7.5", 10.5", and 16" 300BLK weapons with subsonic and supersonic ammo I wanted to see what the velocity difference would be with the different length barrels using the same ammo same day/same time using my Garmin Xero C1.

What I found is with the supersonic ammo there was a lot bigger difference in velocity with different barrel lengths vs the subsonic ammo with different barrel lengths.

Here are my results if anyone is interested each group was the average of 5 shots.

Forgot to add all shots were with a DA Nomad L attached to the weapons.
