    Rifle Scopes Nightforce ATACR. Complete failure!

    Wasn't trying to make a direct comparison to amazon's return policy. I was just using it as an example of purchasing something far cheaper, and of far less quality than NF, and not having to pay shipping. if you'd like I can compare it to vortex instead. The point of it was to state that for...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce ATACR. Complete failure!

    Everything mechanical has the possibility to break eventually, no matter how much of a quality item it may be. And when that happens on something like a scope, I don't think a month is a terrible time frame to get it fixed. However it's complete garbage to have to pay the shipping on something...

    To scope cap or not to scope cap

    I'm running the Vortex caps and I like them. I like the fact that they lay flat and don't obstruct and field of view.

    Ballistic Calculator App for iPhone

    I'm pretty new to precision shooting, having just started this spring. After getting my rifle setup I didn't have the cash to shell out for a kestrel. So I picked up one of the geoballistics weatherflow meters that pairs with the ballisticsARC app. For a new shooter like me the app has been...

    THINK ABOUT IT

    I've just started long range precision shooting this summer. Haven't even competed in a match yet. From my perspective, I like the idea of being able to acquire new gear that is going to help me increase my hit percentage, but I don't want things to be too easy. I'm not looking to be some...

    New to long range shooting

    I am new to long range shooting as well. Going with a similar setup: Bergara HMR in 6.5 creedmoor. I topped it with a Vortex PST Gen II 5-25. Meets all your criteria. I don't have nearly the experience with optics as many of the members here, but I have been very happy with my purchase so...

    Most Important Gear for a new shooter to acquire

    I appreciate the offer, but I intend to get either the Magnetospeed or Labradar from the get go. There are shooters at my range who have both so I should be able to try them out before I decide.

    Most Important Gear for a new shooter to acquire

    Thanks guys. Bipod is already upgraded, trying out a number of different bags to see which ones I like. I will admit that I never really thought of what specifically I was at the range to work on. I would just go shoot, gathering dope on a rifle and having fun. But I definitely see the value...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns What Camp Axe

    I baton almost every time I start a fire while camping. Now I'm not trying to cut trees in half with my knife, but when I get down to the small pieces I like the control I have with a knife to split small pieces into even smaller kindling. In terms of the axes I use, at home I have a long...

    Most Important Gear for a new shooter to acquire

    Thanks. Good advice on outfitting my .17 rimfire for training. It's a CZ 455 in a Boyd's stock. Just have it topped with a Bushnell 3-9 scope, but I want to switch that out with something that has a mil reticle to closer match my scope on my 6.5 CM.

    Most Important Gear for a new shooter to acquire

    How close is your .22 to your 6.5 in terms of setup? Same stock and scope? I shoot my .22 semi auto and my .17 bolt action quite a bit, and was planning on using my bolt gun to train with, but it outfitted very differently than my 6.5CM.

    Most Important Gear for a new shooter to acquire

    I agree completely. I try and get to the range whenever I can. I may be new to the precision rifle game, but even before getting into it I do my best to get out to the range and shoot every couple weeks.

    Most Important Gear for a new shooter to acquire

    I appreciate all that advice. I agree with not settling. That's why I'm trying to be picky about what gear I buy next. The bipod is probably the only area I grabbed a cheap one first because I don't have a rest and wanted to get out and shoot the rifle supported. It's being upgraded before...

    Most Important Gear for a new shooter to acquire

    Definitely. I've been looking into courses near me. Anything within a day's drive is all booked up for the rest of the summer. There are a some courses in late fall that I am looking into.
