Re: New Smartphone Based Wind Meter Yeah the price point and GPS based data caching impressed me the most. If I can walk to the target location, record readings, then periodically record readings on my way back to my shooting position it would really come in handy. No Horus Atrag, but I...

Clearly there are no recreational shooters at engadget, but this thing piqued my interest. Hopefully they'll get it out ASAP - for a proposed $59 it seems like a nice accessory for long range days. Engadget Article

Re: Scoping a Battle Rifle (308) If you're plinking and not doing the fun stuff, don't waste your money on Trijicon or NF. Take a look at the Nikon glass they make for the AR. If you compare the scopes side by side you'll find the Nikon has the same glass and quality as a Nightforce, you...

Re: Suggestions on higher-end AR-10 platforms All my friends from the teams that passed sniper school swear up and down by GAP. They are also rather critical of the OBR on account of its price. Personally, I picked the POF for the close to GAP accuracy and the piston system reliability...

Re: Barrett 416 versus 338 LM 20+ years with 30 cal and up bolt action precision rifles and semis alike. Looking for something that stays supersonic long enough to reach out well beyond 1500 yds. I shoot at a private range and local DNR spots when I don't care to drive up north. I have 300...

Re: "Range Friendly" compensator: Does one exist? Their problem, get better ear protection. The only thing that's ever been said about my compensator at the range is 'Wow, that thing must really eliminate recoil' and it does. If someone had the nerve to complain about the sound I'd simply...

Re: Best 7.62mm Semi Automatic Sniper Rifle This question reminds me of 'whats the best mod for my car for ****** racing?' Spend the money and time on training for yourself, your rifle will outperform you until you have thousands of rounds through it and at least 6-12 months of training...

Re: AR vs Shottie for Home Defense How were you able to get your gun out if you were being attacked by a dog? Didn't you have a set of jaws latched down on your arm?
