    Re: CO- Pawnee Grasslands temp shooting closure I have been on an email list for updates on the shooting ban in the grasslands. I just received an email from the Dianna Moore of the Forest Service that the shooting ban will be lifted tomorrow. Checked the website just now and it has not been...

    Rifle Scopes Questions: Titanium Rings & Other Light Options

    Re: Questions: Titanium Rings & Other Light Options I have read some of your other threads about weight savings on your build, but at some point you have to realize that weight savings can only go so far. Go with tried and true. Seekins rings are the benchmark (atleast on this site, and...

    Rifle Scopes question,

    Re: question, IMO the nikon will be a better training scope. The mildot reticle is a far more useful and adaptable reticle. The duplex reticle is an excellent hunting/target reticle at known distances. You have both, play with both. You will find what you feel comfortable with which will help...

    Rifle Scopes Which Rings would YOU choose?

    Re: Which Rings would YOU choose? I have used the Burris Xtreme non-qd rings. They held true very well and didn't leave a mark on my scope. However they didn't clamp evenly to the base and did (mostly) cosmetic damage to it. My next set of rings will be Seekins.

    AR500 from JC Steel

    Re: AR500 from JC Steel I recently received an order from them as well. The targets look and feel top notch. Unfortunately I haven't been able to try them out yet due to a shooting ban in the area that I normally shoot (due to the fire danger here in Colorado.)

    Rifle Scopes SS 5-20 illumination battery

    Looks like I forgot to turn off my illumination on my scope when I was playing with my new IOTA and now the battery is dead. Before I just start prying on things can someone tell me how to access the battery and confirm which battery I need.

    Movie Theater Best Sniper Scene on TV or Movie

    Re: Best Sniper Scene on TV or Movie Not the best movie, but visually the Barrett shots near the end of Smokin' Aces is pretty cool. Have to agree that Navy Seals had the best call sign for their sniper, however GOD was Bill Paxton not Charlie Sheen.

    Fun .22 target idea's?

    Re: Fun .22 target idea's? The Texas walker style targets look like they would be fun and could be challanging as the target moves when you hit it. Golf balls are fun. I agree eggs are a great cheap reactive target.

    Your favorite Muzzle Brake, and why?

    Re: Your favorite Muzzle Brake, and why? The Seekins Precision is available in .95" and 1.25". I don't yet have any personal experience with them yet, but I have on on order. I have heard good things and they look bad-ass.

    Re: Need supply list for next level reloading The stickies in this section have a lot of good info. I have also learned a lot from reading Germán A. Salazar's blogs on The Rifleman's Journal.

    Badger 2pc vs 1pc Rings

    Re: 2pc vs 1pc Rings If you have good quality base and rings there is very little likelyhood of "tweaking" the tube. Most 1 piece mounts are taller than separate rings, thus not prefered for people who want to mount their scope as low as possible. (My bobro 1 piece is over 1/2" taller than my...

    What size Monopod?

    Re: What size Monopod? That is the one that I have, it is the proper height to work with my Atlas bipod. I used my rear bag and found what range of height I needed, 3.75-4.65 covered what I needed.
