Re: JANUARY 2012 SH SHORT RANGE RIMFIRE COMPETITIONS I'm in for February!

Re: Moving from the Bench to Prone sights are off? thanks for the replies, it has to be my cheek positioning and I find it a little uncomfortable to shoot from prone since most of my shooting is from the bench. Practice makes perfect I guess

Today I brought out my new Savage 10FP in 308 to play with the snipershide tactical targets at 100yards. I got my scope sighted in for 100 yards dead nuts right off the bench. I moved to shoot prone and I was 1-2 inches low on all my shots, I went back to the bench and again was dead on. I'm...

If the bullets are the same caliber am I able to use any 308 barrel to rebarrel my rem 700 300 win mag or am I missing somthing?

Re: Average Military sniper shot distance? I edited the title and changed the way I asked the question. Maybe now we can get a decent thread going?

Re: Sporter barrel on a tactical rifle? Thanks Steve, I don't reload at the moment but am picking up a starter kit this week. I do have another question, how long of a string of shots can I get away with that are accurate and not damaging to the barrel with my current set up?

Re: Sporter barrel on a tactical rifle? That's to bad, hunting has never really interested me all that much. The recoil issue doesn't really bother me, my first few times out I was a little stiff after 20 or so but lately it seems like I can shoot all day long. Is there any kind of...

I have a Remington 700 SPS in 300 win mag. I'd like to enter some tactical shooting matches when I get proficient enough with it. It seems every tactical rifle I see has a heavy barrel on it. Am I ok to use a sporter barrel? The gun weights just over 8 lbs and I like the light weight so its...
