    Precision Rifle Tripod rest

    As stated above, rapid transition to different positions with a tripod doesn't happen. But with a good pan and tilt head you shouldn't have to. I use the Reaper Grip, and heavy Slik tripod for my .338 LM. Very smooth tracking, and solid lock up.

    prone for fat guys?

    Kinda hard shooting when you are high centered. 3 options, lose the carport, bench rest, or tripod and chair. Nothing is as steady as prone, but have seen some pretty big boys doing very well at the bench or with tripods. Good luck!

    Newbie looking to get into a tripod. Need help

    I use the Reaper Grip with the heavy Slik tripod for my .338 LM. Very smooth pan and tilt, easy off hand lock. Very steady platform.

    Rifle Scopes Gen 2 PST vs Gen 1 Razor HD

    If price isn't a factor, no brainer, Razor! I shoot a gen 1 PST because price is a factor for me. They are not using gen 1 Razor glass in the gen 2 PST, that is straight from Vortex. Go with the Razor, you won't be disappointed.

    Rifle Scopes Is a Gen 1 razor too much scope for an ar15?

    Great scope! But IMHO maybe a little much for an AR. I run a .223 Wylde on my M4 build with a BDC ACOG and ding 12" steel at 400 all day long. Weight, durability, and size seem to be an important consideration when thinking about AR optics. Moot points if you are always shooting prone or from a...

    Can't make an accurate hand load to save my life

    I couldn't agree more with the previous posts. So many variables that we would need more info to start to help. 1st, and most important question was asked, how did you arrive at your current load? Let's start there.

    Recommendations for cheap low light binoculars?

    I have the Vortex Diamondback 10x42 and love em. Great glass for the money, and good in low light. Water proof, fog proof, dust proof, with lifetime warranty.

    Rifle Scopes Thinking about getting a Vortex PST 6-24x50 SFP and would appreciate some advice.

    You'll enjoy that scope. Glass is still plenty clear at higher magnification, but not $3500.00 clear. Congrats.

    Rifle Scopes Thinking about getting a Vortex PST 6-24x50 SFP and would appreciate some advice.

    I have the PST 6-24x50 FFP and love it. Use it on my .338 LM and have had excellent results. Glass does get a bit iffy at 18+ mag, but plenty good for 1000. If you can pick one up for $600 go for it. I also used the Vortex precision rings and both hold perfect zero with the .338.
