    Bubble Level?

    Re: Bubble Level? If you're not level when you dial up, then you just dialed in some windage (and less elevation than you thought, too).

    Guess LSU isnt the place to burn the Flag

    Re: Guess LSU isnt the place to burn the Flag You guys amaze me. He wants to exercise his First Amendment rights and you think he should get his ass kicked for it, but you want to exercise your Second Amendment rights and everyone should leave you alone because... it's your right to do so...

    Celebrex

    Re: Celebrex Who would take Celebrex? Me. I've used it several times. Oh, and I also worked as a chemist doing drug development for the company that developed and sold it. If you don't want your mom on Celebrex, that's fine with me. You can just give her one of those other drugs that...

    Would you recommend the M1A?

    Re: Would you recommend the M1A? The M1A is not really accurate enough to be a true precision weapon. There are better calibers for target shooting. There are better calibers for long-range tactical shooting. The M1A is too heavy to be a true CQB weapon. It's an expensive platform if you...

    Any of you have kids with Autism?

    Re: Any of you have kids with Autism? There is no correlation between MMR vaccine and the risk of autism in children. There is a direct correlation between lack of MMR vaccine and infection with measles, mumps, and rubella in children. These are FACTS. In a perfect world, people would make...

    Can someone ID this artillery please?

    Re: Can someone ID this artillery please? My father once told me that seeing the rounds as they left a 16 inch gun was easy when one was circling in a Higgins boat waiting to go ashore and they were shooting 'em over your head.

    Zero Distance for 308

    Re: Zero Distance for 308 Looks like I'm in the minority... I use a 200 yard zero for my .308. While I haven't been to the range enough lately, one of the stages that our club uses requires holdover/holdunder for targets from "kinda close" to 500 meters. The 200 yard zero works better for...

    Accuracy with a SOCOM 16??

    Re: Accuracy with a SOCOM 16?? Someone here will probably tell you that their M1A is a .25 MOA rifle "all day" and I won't argue with them about it. There are some accurate rifles out there based on the M1A. In my experience, however, making the M1A into a true sub-MOA platform is pretty...

    m1a range question

    Re: m1a range question There are many people who have/can/will shoot the M1A out to 1000 yards and tell you that it works all the time at that range... but I'm not one of 'em. I would not consider the M1A a good choice for a 1000 yard rifle. You will struggle to keep one shooting better...

    my savage build

    Re: my savage build You *could* use a 30 inch barrel.... but if your friend thinks you *need* a 30 inch tube to get to 600 yards with a .308 then you need to do a lot of reading here on The Hide before you waste your money! -DJR
