Re: PVS 14 case size? For field use w/ single battery PVS-14 I have Tactical Tailor 85, but the Bladetech case from TNVC looks better and accommodates J-Arm (TT doesn't) http://www.tacticaltailor.com/pouches/cases/universal-hardcase-85 I have added a small custom pocket to the inside of the...

Re: Best way to cross river with guns/game? 40y is different game than 15m. You'd need some support in the middle. If you can transport and store stuff at the river, it should be fairly easy to construct a raft from cheap materials. You can either design the draft so that it protects rifle...

Re: 2 pigs, one bullet I also had a double with 260 Rem 160gr Woodleigh last winter. Distance maybe 50y. Pics on another thread: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2383167#Post2383167

Re: OCTOBER 2011 SH 100 TO 300 YD RIMFIRE COMPETITIONS Here's my results from yesterday. Scaled targets and 100 meters. I learned that I should pay more attention to the facilities at 100m, and shoot more also (50m and 100m). Shooting prone from a forward slope isn't too nice. This time I...

Re: OCTOBER 2011 SH SHORT RANGE RIMFIRE COMPETITIONS Here's my entry for the tactical match. I'm using the scaled up target (please see thread Printable targets) and shooting at 50 meters. My Annie seems to throw the CBS up and to the left, and CBS+1 down and to the left. Last month I was...

Re: TARGETS - SH SHORT RANGE RIMFIRE COMPETITIONS Here's a link to my 50y tactical target, which is scaled up for 50 meters. http://www.teres.fi/~jthyttin/sh/sh-50m-tactical-tgt.pdf I print it out in A4 size The printer settings I'm using in Adobe Acrobat and Acrobat Reader for printing in...

Re: TARGETS - SH LONG RANGE RIMFIRE COMPETITIONS Here's a link to my 100Y combo target, which is scaled up for 100 meters. It includes score, 2.5" gong and 3.5" gong. I fire only 5rds per target myself, so I staple 5 targets on backer if possible (easier to spot hits and correct for wind...

Re: Learnings from Rimfire Comp Thread Some thoughts after shooting the 50y and 100y matches, and 100rds practice after that: Things I knew: - I can't read the wind - I should zero my gun for target ammo (it's zeroed for hunting ammo, and I hold off for some guesstimate value) - my position...

Re: SEPT. 2011 SH 100 TO 300 YARD RIMFIRE COMPETITIONS After shooting the 50y match (see my post in that thread), I also shot the 100y combo match target today. Actually I wanted to shoot the 100y match first, but since the 50y match requires CBS, I had to shoot it first. I've made up a...

Re: SEPT. 2011 SH SHORT RANGE RIMFIRE COMPETITIONS I finally got into shooting the match. I shot also 100y match during the same range trip, would post is shortly. Since I'm shooting at 50 meters instead of yards, I took the liberty to scale the target. After printing, I verified the correct...

I have a commercial large ring Mauser 98 (sporter barrel) I'm going to re-stock. I have quite good understanding of what's avail, but I'm looking for some options I may have missed. Strictly speaking I don't have a budget, but I'd like to see the stock costing closer to $100 than $500, at least...

Re: Canadian goose decoy recommendations Anybody used NRA FUD (Fold Up Decoy)? http://store.nrafud.com/fud/Product.aspx?productid=CA00001 Carries like a 2D but folds up 3D-like. Staking them on frozen ground may present a challenge (the stake is flat and quite wide). I'm gonna try the...

Re: Wolf MT chrono info request... Here's data for Anschutz Biathlon 1427, the barrel is maybe 22", I can check it after the weekend's hunting trip if I remember... Temperature 32C / 90F in the beginning of the range trip and 30C / 85F in the end. I shot several brands back-to-back, didn't...

Re: New Winchester Australia 42gr 'Max' Powerpoint .22 At least part of Winchester rimfire ammo being sold in Europe is made by Olin Australia. I don't use much Win ammo, but currently I'm experimenting with "22 Long Z", and the box says: Made in Australia by Olin Australia Limited Hays...
