    Where would you buy a ZC840?

    I've bought (3) 8-40 ZCO's from Richard in the last few months and he's always on top of it and quickly responds to texts, emails or DM's.

    Kestrel Meters Ballistics Official Thread

    I agree needing to connect to the Kestrel is super annoying. It kills being able to check things when I'm at work or a thought crosses my mind. It's also something I very much enjoyed about the old AB app, you could benchrest ballistics and now you can't.

    Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

    Both mine and my friends updated earlier this week. I shot (8) 5 shot groups, 6 of the groups only picked up 4/5. He had similar issues and neither of us had an issue before. Both are running 3.30.

    Rifle Scopes New Schmidt & Bender PM2 6-36x56

    I had a 6-36 mounted on my 338 NMI, just after I hit 300 rounds the parallax started acting up and a few shots later something inside let go. Looking through the lens looked like cardboard on the upper magnification. On the lower end you could actually see through it. It's been at S&B since...

    Foundation Stock Recoil Pad

    I reached out to a stock maker and he's going to fit a Pachmayr XLT on it, for me it makes the LOP right at 13.5". It just seems that since some people shoot large magnums that there would be an off the shelf option or an option from Foundation.

    Foundation Stock Recoil Pad

    Has anyone replaced the thin Pachmayr pad with a 1" decelerator or something similar? If so which one did you use?

    Upgrade for the V3 AutoTrickler

    Has anyone tried this with N570? Looking at the website they don't have a disk that is compatible with it.

    How to use a different zero Kestrel 5700

    Thanks for the input so far. I'm using a Z8i 2-16x with a BRH reticle and adjustable turrets on a 28 Nosler and my shots are anywhere between 25 yards and 800 so I want the versatility of being able to dial without doing any math. The scope does have .5 mil holdover marks as well but they're...

    How to use a different zero Kestrel 5700

    What about once it's dialed in @ 100 I move my zero to be on @ 200 and then use the offset feature?

    How to use a different zero Kestrel 5700

    I've gone through and zero'd my rifle at 100 yards and then trued the velocity and BC. I use this rifle for hunting and would like to have a zero of 200 yards or more. How do I do that without messing with anything else. Is it as easy as just zeroing at 200 and then using the muzzle velocity...

    28 Nosler velocity with RL33 and 180 Berger’s

    I’m extremely happy with it, more accurate than I can shoot. With a Swarovski 2-16 Z8 and lightweight badger rings I’m just over 7.5 pounds.
