    accuracy of the 6xc?

    Have you ever considered a plain old boring .243? Low recoil, great selection of bullets / powder, unbelievably accurate if a good builder puts it together and can shoot with the best of them in the wind. reloading is a breeze, but buyan extra barrel if you plan on shooting a ton because...

    accuracy of the 6xc?

    you are talking about two different animals! THe BR is a super performer out to 600 and the 6XC rivals most cartridges out to 1000. The reason that you see the BR posting ungodly groups is because it is perfect for benchrest guys with fantastic accuracy and very low recoil compared to most...

    Would you shoot in the rain at 600yds?

    you should be more worried about the variable wind conditions than anything else. rain drops don't seem to do much to bullets when guys are dropping 3-5 points in a 450 point palma match in the rain with irons. buy some rain gear and shoot the gun. You may learn something about yourself...

    4 months to get in shape for Rangers?

    Sebben, As a Marine who attended / graduated the Ranger program in 1993 I had a little different perspective than most of the Army personnel without having the RIP program and things like that to put you in that bootcamp style mentality prior to going. I can tell you that no matter how hard...

    $6,000 and a favor, give me some recommendations on what to get.

    Sounds like a fun problem to have, .408 Cheytac sounds like it could be fun! I have never handled one though, so can not comment beyond the fact that is sounds interesting. Also probably quite expensive to shoot! Brian

    heaviest (longest) .308 Win bullet out of a 1:12 barrel?

    You can shoot 190's without any problem from my experience. Not sure how far you can go after that, but your 180's should be fine. Brian

    Will Heavy Barrel Weaken Receiver???

    Re: Will Heavy Barrel Weaken Receiver??? I built a .260 with a 30" barrel in a PUG style stock and the thing is a hammer. Look up "D&L MR30PG rifles" to get an idea of what I am talking about. They have a secondary barrel bedding block on them to bed about 3" of the barrel, but I opted...

    Gunsmithing Advantage/Disadvantage

    Re: Advantage/Disadvantage I have a friend that used to shoot .243 in across the course matches with a long action and was absolutely phenominal. He is a large gent that has big hands and he said that it just worked more smoothely for him than a short action. Other than that, you can set...

    Advice on Flyers

    Re: Advice on Flyers by "back off" all I mean is to pass on the shot. Take another breath reset yourself and go at it again. Sometimes you fight so hard to break a shot that you will stay on the sight too long, hold you breath too long and think that you have to release it when all you are...
