I went. Took the family. Wife took one look at the miniature dump that seems to constitute a parking area just beyond the gate, and turned up her nose. So, I didn't do any shooting. I'm sure it's a good venue for a small number of people.

I've had to cancel the trip to the Vegas match this weekend, so if I can find a moment, I'll try to get to the thing at Cowtown. I agree that having an annual membership fee _plus_ high per-visit fees is a deal-breaker, but it would be nice for some of us to see the place.

Cool. We have eyes and ears for them, of course. I'll keep working on the wife. I've wanted to come shoot a Vegas match for some while now...

I'm trying to convince the wife. Can kids (watched by a non-shooter adult, of course) be at this location as spectators?

Sorry, I've been out of town. It's a great shooter. I don't bench it much at all, but have got 3 - 4 shots to touch with 123 Scenars (that's all I shot at one bull), and have got it to shoot 140s very nearly that well. That doesn't pass muster with some here, of course, but it's the use I put...

Thanks for sharing. Patiently awaiting your reply when you get the time.

I have the M77 Hawkeye Predator. I tried to get an American Predator to go along with it, but they were all gone before I received the email notification. :(

And Weatherby, and Browning. All are rifles of a bit different sort than the AI or various others mentioned here. I got rid of my Savage Creedmoor and now have a Ruger. It's a great general-purpose rifle. I don't use it as a match gun, or at least I haven't. It's job is hunting, plinking...

Old thread, but... General Dynamics, St. Marks manufactures: ALL Winchester-branded powders of all types, All Hodgdon-branded sphericals, All Alliant-branded PowerPro series powders, Some Accurate-branded sphericals (2700 = Win760/H414, for example. Look for "Made in USA" on...

Yes, definitely. My experience with a variety of savages over the past 20+ years is that they're pretty rough, and the newest ones are _very_ rough.

Thank you both for your replies. Well, I can't say I love my stability in the sitting position, but it's alright. That translates into: I think I probably need to practice more, and I'm open to looking at alternatives to my open-legged position if there's something better. That said, what...

I normally shoot precision rifle matches, but I was able to shoot a High Power C&R match this weekend with my M1. First HP match I've shot in a very long time, and first match with the M1. They (the HP guys) 'sit' differently than I do. I'm pleased with how I did in that match, but I'd like a...

Out of town. See you all next month!

Thanks for the clarification.

Without disputing what you say about where PTFE bonds, I'm a little fuzzy as to how there's _more_ heat in the BCG and receiver than the bbl just forward of the chamber. ?
