    Prone- Slung and Biopod

    I recently read his "Handloading for competition". He really seems to know what he's writing about but his writing style can cause someone a bit of headache ^^ I also just started reading "Gun Digest, Shootes guide to Rifle Marksmanship" by Peter Lessler which also covers field shooting...

    Advice on single stage press

    Ok, thanks for every single answer. I made my decision and will get the big boss to begin with (mainly because of the better primer catching system compared to the rcbs). When I learned using that one I might consider getting another one a few years down the road then, when I'm able to...

    Advanced Marksmanship Carbon and copper, what can it hurt?

    What are examples for "carbon only" solvents? Most of the stuff I know would attack both copper and carbon. The only kind of solvents I could think of doing excacly that are carburator/fuel injection nozzle cleaners. Anyone ever considered using one of those? At the other hand, is someone...

    non-shooting eye problem

    NPA is adjustet beforehand, as part of my fundamentals list I go through before bringing the trigger finger inside the guard. I somehow feel I got a better sight picture when closing my left eye, or at least I won't be distracted as much by what I see with my left eye. I usually focus on the...

    non-shooting eye problem

    When I'm shooting precision rifles I typically leave both eyes open as long as I can, making sure all of the fundamentals are taken care of, trying to don't get too much tunnel vision, but as my sight picture gets steady, just before doing the last few breathing cycles before sending the round I...

    low budget spotting scope for rimfire practice

    Thanks! Any model in particular? I'm wondering if the clarity of the 100mm model at higher magnifications is worth all that weight and size... On the other hand I'll do moslty bench and prone shooting and won't carry that thing around all day long... So if i'm not asking for too much let me...

    low budget spotting scope for rimfire practice

    I need a spotting scope for rimfire training out to maybe 100-150 yards to identify bullet holes on paper. I would like to spend less than about 400 bucks. Can anybody recommend a suitable spotting scope in this limited price range or am I asking for too much? thanks

    Re: Self built aluminum stock Awesome job! I really like it! And respect for doing that on a manual mill! I'll make a tube gun stock for a savage in the near future. What did you pay for that carbon tube? I'm looking for good deals on that tubes but they seem to be pretty expensive, so I...
