    Gunsmithing New Chinese lathe or old south bend?

    Re: New Chinese lathe or old south bend? I am also doing my research for a lathe. So far the Grizzly has my eye for the range of machining that can be done. While I want to get into gunsmithing, I can't afford the top-of-the-line $20K+ three phase (nor the upgrade to my home power service)...

    HV vs. subsonic for 100-200 yds.

    Re: HV vs. subsonic for 100-200 yds. The idea behind a longer barrel increasing velocity is that the powder is still burning and has more time to act on the bullet before the bullet exits that barrel. So, if the info above is correct, then the powder is no longer burning and now the rifling...

    22lr backyard bullet trap

    Re: 22lr backyard bullet trap Dirt is cheap and stops more than just .22 Don't forget about squirrels, though. They absorb a lot of .22lr energy just fine.

    Stovepiping ruger 10/22

    Re: Stovepiping ruger 10/22 I have had my stock Ruger 10/22 for probably 15 years and never took the barrel and trigger out to detail clean. I noticed that recently I have been having occasional stovepipe issues with specific ammo. I took the thing apart (finally) and cleaned it real well...

    Rifle Scopes Spotting Scope Budget

    Re: Spotting Scope Budget The big negative I see to the Alpen is the straight line only optic. When you are standing on the line, and especially when prone, it is really nice to be able to rotate that eye piece around. It keeps you from having to roll way out of position, which reduces...

    Rifle Scopes Spotting Scope Budget

    Re: Spotting Scope Budget When you actually look through the Konus and the Kowa side by side there is not a lot of difference between the two. The Kowa is a little brighter and crisper, but the Konus is bright and crisp enough and still picks up the mirage well. I would also take back the...

    Range Report MOA measurement?

    Re: MOA measurement? Are you asking what the MOA is at each range or what your gun is actually performing? The general rule is that 1 MOA is equal to 1 inch at 100 yds, 2" @ 200yds, 3" at 300 yds etc. So if you are zeroing at 100 yds, and your group is 0.5 inch on center then you are...

    long range ( to me ) shooting question

    Re: long range ( to me ) shooting question For the first question, I would say that shooting one round is easier to adjust for and learn what your doing at longer range. A heavier weight bullet is going to be less affected by the wind, but does your specific gun like that bullet better? I...

    Rifle Scopes Spotting Scope Budget

    Re: Spotting Scope Budget I have been asking this same question. Competitive shooters have recommended Kowa spotting scopes to me. It looks like most competitions limit the scope to 10x50, so this might be around your price range. If anyone has more info I would sure like to hear it. If...

    Rifle Scopes Optic top ten

    Re: Optic top ten Being new to this site and relatively new to shooting, I would offer this advice: My friends like the Leupold Mark 4 types for quality optics on a relative budget. That is what I am saving for. I would HIGHLY recommend you get this guy on a range with a variety of guns (at...
