    Range Report Incredible customer support from NK

    A shoutout to Joe Racosky from NK. My non bluetooth 4500AB stopped communicating with its cradle and/or two of my computers (one Win 8 the other a bootcamp Mac running Win 7). I couldn't transfer profiles, update firmware, bootloader, whatever. Joe sent me a new unit without waiting for me to...

    Who makes a highend, quality , portable shooting bench??

    Strong recommendation for D.O.A. I have heavy duty base (now standard) and large and small tops. Just stays in the back of my SUV and setup takes a minute. Its a real stable bench for when you need a bench. Also business is vet owned: great guys.

    Just purchased an Anschutz 64 MPR

    I've had my MPR for a couple of years. Had to "fix" the ejection problem; its been great otherwise. I pretty much shot it weekly, typically at 100yrds or greater. Nice way to practice fundamentals; 22s at distance reveal sloppiness really fast.

    Range Report Applied Ballistics Kestrel; Pro staff support thread

    ANOTHER way to do it: install Windows 7 on a boot camp partition. Is stable/quick, particularly if you need to run some other Win specific programs (I do). You sorta get the "best" of both worlds without the intermediary of a virtual machine

    Shout of for Bolt Fluter

    Just wanted to express appreciation to Paul. I had ordered a bolt knob from him for a Stiller Tac 30 whose stock knob kept abrading my trigger finger. When it didn't come in a while I PMd Paul to inquire. He had been down with some back trouble and production was delayed. He promptly sent me...

    Kestrel 4500nv Applied Ballistics?

    this is is probably not the "cool" solution but I solved the Mac/ios dilemma as follows. Since I'm Mac-centric I did not want to buy a Windows based computer or tablet. I instead installed Windows 7Pro on a boot camp partition on my Mac Book Pro laptop. I then installed appropriate Kestrel USB...

    Ear problem from shooting.

    I've ahead a similar experience with custom plugs. Had mine remade several times in hopes of getting better seal, using a variety of tricks to enhance the casts. Didn't work well enough to prevent some right ear high freq loss and it's associated tinnitus. Kind of a bummer for someone who makes...

    Les baer .308 vs Gap 10

    Wow, a resurrected long dead thread. I've known Les for more than 25 years and he hand built me some great IPSC race guns in the very early 90s. He does build his own barrels in house. I have a .308 Monolith w 20" barrel and his brake. It shoots .5 MOA or better with 175 SMKs and with Scenars...
