    Thanks for the response. Yes accuracy is important but realistically 1 moa is good enough considering my budget.

    Help a newbie spec out a rifle

    First off i apologize if this has been covered before. I shoot prs and my 9 year old wants to start shooting with me. He already shoot to distance with his howa 223. That gun is too big for him and the twist is 1:12 so for playing at club shoots its really a no go. He shoots my M&P sport...

    Rifle for 8 yr old.

    My 8 yr old loves to shoot with me. He has a 10/22 that fits him well but for longer stuff he suffers through a full size 223. I so far haven' been able to come up with a good way to makeup a rifle for him with the 10.5 lop he needs without breaking the bank. What options have members here come...

    Rifle hop to the left?

    Thanks for the help. It may be time to get pro help to get me over the hump. Think I have taught myself all I can.

    Rifle hop to the left?

    I have been shooting long range for over a year and every gun that I shoot off a bipod jumps to the left on the shot. I have tried a lot. Different load pressure, different body angles, different bipod. No matter what on all shots the rifle settles to the left. On my 5r milspec it's about...

    Rifle Scopes Fixed 10 scope

    Thanks for the suggestions. My Vortex cropped out yesterday. Already sent for warranty. So I have ordered a SWFA SS as I save up for a US optic.

    Rifle Scopes Fixed 10 scope

    I am wondering what would be a good fixed 10 scope for under say $1200. I shoot a 308 on my home ranges out to 1100 yards or so. I don't shoot competitions ( might one day for giggles). My current vortex goes to 16X and I only go that high to use my retical since it's a sfp. I mostly use...

    Advanced Marksmanship Judging wind.

    Thanks Kopjager that article helped alot. Being an honors Calculus teacher the science and math makes sense. I was under the impression that the last half had the most influence. In fact at the end of my first third was a row of trees in a draw that are perpendicular to the winds direction...

    Advanced Marksmanship Judging wind.

    Thanks guys. I have a kestrel and that's how I knew my winds at me. Yes there was two draws between. Me and the target. One containing a creek and trees and one that is real steep. I may hang some ribbon to help see that wind and the effects around it.

    Advanced Marksmanship Judging wind.

    Howdy, first question here. I have been shooting longrange since this summer and my biggest deficiency is judging the wind down. Range. For example today I was shooting and everything was fine until I got to my 918 yard target. The wind at my location was coming from the 11 o'clock at 9 to 13...

    Howdy from East Texas

    Just saying howdy. Long time lurking just now registering. I shoot a 308 on my home range. Been at it since this summer with good results, even hit a 12"plate at 1146 yards on the 6th shot. Enough bragging. Just here to learn and ask stupid questions.
