Traversing Bipods
You're welcome, and thanks for the reply. I didn't mean to come across as snippy. I do use sandbags at times, to simulate situations where a backpack would be used as a rest in the field. It's tough when there is no "field" readily available. You end up simulating a lot of things and hope that...- mljones1947

Traversing Bipods
I was trying to keep the post short. I didn't explain in detail how the bipod would be used, but I guess that wasn't a good idea. Plus, I never used the words "bench rest." I live in a suburban area where "portable" shooting is impossible. To keep my hand in the game, I'm practicing at a...- mljones1947

I'm guessing that, other than the ballistic data in Forker's book, wikipedia would be an adequate, and more...- mljones1947

"Proportional" Scope Power for 100 Yards
Re: "Proportional" Scope Power for 100 Yards Duh! I'm sure that you're right. I was running through some numbers and came to the same conclusion. Reducing magnification would be "double reducing," so to speak. Thanks.- mljones1947

"Proportional" Scope Power for 100 Yards
I'm shooting .22LR at 100 yards and trying to make target and scope selections "proportional" to F-Class at 300 or 600 yards. The target is easy: 0.5 MOA X, 1.0 MOA 10 ring, etc. However, what would be the scope power equivalent to the 24X, 36X or so scopes typically used at the longer...- mljones1947
