    F T/R Competition 308 AI.... really?

    Do you see the irony of bringing back a 4 year old thread to make light of someone else complaining about a 40 year old reamer?

    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    well, um............................. now for something completely different...... This is my F-T/R trainer and/or F-Smallbore rig. I still need to finish up the grip(probably a winter project). I'm still testing different ammo, but it is very promising so far. It is a lot of fun to shoot...

    F T/R Competition Tripod for spotting scope?

    I use the Ray-Vin F-Stand with outrigger and an Eliseo spotting scope head. I am very happy with it. This isn't the best picture because my hat is blocking the outrigger and most of the scope head, but you get the idea. You want your spotting scope lined up so you can look through both it and...

    Recommended .22 WMR rifle and loads for hunting hogs?

    I'd take a bow, spear or a knife over a .22. They would likely approve of those methods if you checked.

    F T/R Competition New F-Class Division

    This post perfectly sums up the reason this topic pops up every 4-6 months. There are plenty of opportunities out there to shoot, but I think there are lots of people that just like the idea of shooting and not actually doing it.

    F T/R Competition New F/TR Stock

    It looks better in person than in the pictures. This is one of the better finishing jobs I've seen.

    F T/R Competition OK got some matches coming up...

    For the spotting scope, I think the best bang for your buck is a used Kowa 821m or 82sv. With the 27x long eye relief eyepiece, and a good spotting scope stand, you can look through it and your riflescope at the same time. This prevents you from losing points as the condition changes when you...

    F T/R Competition Barrel Contour

    I'm betting you will be able to make weight with a heavy palma barrel. I have a Barnard action, which is considered heavy by some, with a 34" heavy palma and I make weight. If you weigh everything you have, including rings, bases, etc., you can use a barrel weight calculator to determine what...

    F T/R Competition OK got some matches coming up...

    I haven't found the need for a shooting jacket, but there have been a couple of old highpower shooter that use them. Does your spotting scope dial down from 60 to say 25 or so? They are handy for watching the mirage, but also for seeing a switch by looking at competitors targets. You might get...
