    Any good video game to help practice target shooting?

    I was wondering if anyone knows of any PC video games where you can practice long range shooting. My issue is I spend a lot of time getting down my Mrads and MOA, only to not target practice for many months or even a year and forgetting the ranging. This is something which if I had a video...

    Best "budget" spotting scope for 50 to 300 yards. Mostly 100 yards

    gr8fuldoug: I am trying to compare those two scopes, the athlon and the konus. which scope would you say has better optical clarity for seeing bullet holes at 100-300 yards? At the end of the day that is what is important is to make out where my bullet landed on the target so I can stop having...

    Best "budget" spotting scope for 50 to 300 yards. Mostly 100 yards

    I was just wondering, how does the Konus Optics Konuspot-100 20-60x100 Spotting Scope compare to the vortex diamondback and viper? I know the vortex spotting scopes are more expensive but I don't want to pay too much money either for just a little benefit. I do like that the Konus is a x100, to...

    Thanks, but I see the price is $269. Where do you see it for $249?

    Best "budget" spotting scope for 50 to 300 yards. Mostly 100 yards

    I did read many of the spotting scope threads but many are older and go for the really expensive ones. I was thinking, maybe I should pay out the money and get a vortex razor HD but I'm not sure if I need that to use occasionally at the gun range to see bullet holes. What I want to do is see...

    New Faxon barrel looks really cruddy inside + rips patches? What should I do?

    Yes, the only thing is I was looking for really light weight battle builds here and it seems the lightest barrels are these faxon pencil barrels. Trying to find other manufactures that have just as light barrels.

    New Faxon barrel looks really cruddy inside + rips patches? What should I do?

    Just an update. Faxon did send me another 10.5" barrel. However, it has the same issue again, not as bad but the same issue. I'm having such bad luck here. What would you guys do if you got two bad barrels in a row like this? How common is this? Here are the pictures of my 2nd barrel, it's...

    New Faxon barrel looks really cruddy inside + rips patches? What should I do?

    For those interested here are pics of the crud inside the barrel that would not clean out. These pictures are after I ran a lot of patches down them, and also solvent. Then I took a picture of a brand new 11.5" faxon pencil barrel and you can see its shiny smooth. What do you think all that...

    Which light weight 308 barrel should I get, BSF carbon fiber or Faxon pencil?

    Cotay, I agree that is why for my battle rifles, Ar15 & ar10, I went with a bunch of pencil barrels and V Seven hyperlight rail. These builds are super light and I love them. These would be for pure battle where I wouldn't be hitting more than 200-300 yards. Mostly these rifles are for Close...

    New Faxon barrel looks really cruddy inside + rips patches? What should I do?

    I contacted them a couple of days ago and they are going to send me a new barrel. I'm not experienced as you guys when it comes to this stuff. Maybe this crud would be normal on some barrels and part of the process of constructing it. Better to know what is up to make a plan on how to get the...

    New Faxon barrel looks really cruddy inside + rips patches? What should I do?

    I'm not too happy about this. This is a new 10.5" faxon pencil barrel I purchased. After building the rifle and doing the first cleaning, the inside of the barrel looked all cruddy, like it has had a lot of rounds through it. I though maybe that was from the factory test firing the barrel?? Do...

    Which light weight 308 barrel should I get, BSF carbon fiber or Faxon pencil?

    I was going to buy the 20" Ballistic advantage creedmoor, then I started reading stuff about gas tube length, like +2" rifle lengths, and barrel length. Where a 22" barrel length really benefits by a +2". Just so many variables and ballistic advantage doesn't offer +2. I then just decided to...

    Best bang for your buck 6.5 creedmoor barrel for ar10?

    With the ballistic advantage barrel. I've been trying to determine what barrel length to use. Now I am hearing about the gas tube length, and +2 lengths, and that rifle length gas systems are not good on 22" length. Since the Ballistic advantage 6.5 creed moor barrels are all rifle length gas...

    Best 6.5 creedmoor barrel length for someone who has know idea what they want or will do with it?

    I am going to build a 6.5 creedmoor AR10 before the bans come in next year. Well, lets assume the bans come in next year and I'm stuck with this single barrel. If you really have no idea what you will use the gun for, what would be the safest length to get, assuming you will never be able to...

    Best bang for your buck 6.5 creedmoor barrel for ar10?

    Just wondering, what would you recommend that is $100 dollars worth it over the BA barrel?
