    6.5 Creedmoor

    I fell just short of shooting clean scores with this load at the last f-class match. I crossfired in the last string. RL-16 is no joke.

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares Turret upgrade?

    OK, the weather hasn't been good for shooting here lately. I finally did a rudimentary tracking test. Here are the results. distance: 99 yards (laser rangefinder), I held at the lower left bull on the target, and clicked 8MOA to the corners. 3 shots per corner. So, obviously I fired 3 initial...

    Rifle Scopes Athlon Ares Turret upgrade?

    I just received a new ares 4.5-27 on Sunday. I can confirm it has the upgraded turrets. (removable with a coin slot on the top, no hex screws, I assume these are the "upgraded" turrets?).

    Rifle Scopes Any place sell the Shepard Scope - DRS 6-24×50 S MilDot Cheaper than their MSR price?

    Just for fun, I have a little history on Shepherd scopes. The inventor (Dan Shepherd) lived a few miles from me, in waterloo, NE. I have an original somewhere in the basement. Back in the early 80's I purchased one of these scopes at a gun show and couldn't figure out how the dual reticle system...
