    Back in the saddle from MD

    Received the newsletter and came back to the old site! I lost interest after the site move for various reasons but am glad to see things percolating here. Hoping to get into the paid subscription space after a while and improve my game. Currently I'm shooting a 700 5R in a McRees chassis and a...

    Thanks! I'll take another look inside the mag well.

    Failure to feed - AI magazine, McRees Precision Chassis, R700

    I resized and loaded some snap caps out of a stack of Remington brass I had for my .308. I used Sierra 150 HPBT pressed to the same COAL as the normal 175s I use. They are shallow but they hold enough for a snap cap. COAL is 2.806 +/- .002. No failures to extract, tight chamber or any other...

    Advanced Marksmanship Whose has the best Snipers?

    Nice! I was off the coast on the USS Saipan in early/mid 93 waiting for Bill Clinton to pull the trigger. We were in and out of Trieste and Naples a few times. That road was to be our AO to secure for 10th Tanks out of Germany to blow their way into Sarajevo during the siege. He never let us off...

    Maggie’s P.K. Schreiber RIP

    This is the forum I visit most often that includes active duty military. I am posting this here out of respect for a fine man and a hell of a Marine. In another thread a former Marine mentioned his dates of service and locations so I went back though my float books to see who he might be. In...

    Advanced Marksmanship Whose has the best Snipers?

    Good lord son. Your mouth opened up a much bigger can of sh whoop-ass than you understand. I worked in the S3 for my second float. I don't expect you to understand what that means but running gator squares in the Adriatic it meant I did PT and played KIMs game with our battalion's STA platoon...

    308 bullet choice

    175 SMK because they are reliable and available. I'd love to try out the 155s when I get more experience but for now I can't justify the 25%-30% cost increase for a box of bullets, even in bulk.

    OCW with Magneto Speed Chronograph

    Actually, they do address it: https://magnetospeed.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/891701-can-the-magnetospeed-affect-barrel-harmonics-e-g-the-location-and-size-of-my-shot-grouping-

    OCW with Magneto Speed Chronograph

    This is a really interesting discussion for me since I'm getting ready to run an OCW with my R700 at 100y. I also just got my MagnetoSpeed V2 along with a Kestrel from Frederick at BisonTactical.com in CO (good guy and company!). I think I have a good understanding of the OCW node but the...

    First Lt. Clint Lorance sentenced 20 years

    Not having been in theater for many years perhaps someone can update me on the SOP for when a commander on the ground makes a call to engage. Does a legal team comb through the after-action-reports or does that only happen when someone in the unit or a civilian file some kind of protest? Was it...

    Savage 10 TR 308 threaded 24" vs Rem 700 ss 308 24" 5R milspec

    Agree on all counts: My 5R action is far smoother than the Savage I tried at my LGS and smoother than the 700 SPS Tactical I had before it. I got $275 for my original stock. I prefer the Savage accu-trigger over the x-mark-pro because you can physically feel the first stage and feel when you...

    I really screwed up

    Mine came from firing a rocket launcher overseas 22 years or so ago w/o protection in. One shot. Couldn't be helped at the time but I've paid for it ever since. Sometimes the ringing wakes me up at night. I have to have a fan or other noise on at all times or I get a headache. The word on the...

    Savage 10 TR 308 threaded 24" vs Rem 700 ss 308 24" 5R milspec

    I have the 700 5R on a Mcrees Precision chassis and love it though I wish the barrel were threaded. This gun is practically guaranteed in terms of accuracy and quality for an OOB rig. That said I have seen local shooters post targets that are .5 MOA on a regular basis driving the stock Savages...

    Keeping the reticle on target

    That's... just.. I don't even know what to say. I feel so misled... Seriously though, thanks for the note. It could also be that I was young and dumb and not a very good listener! Semper Fi
