    FN 30-11, current setup (new scope)

    Re: FN 30-11, current setup (new scope) Mounted the Vortex yesterday at the range. Did some shooting. Pretty happy with the results, using standard Sellier & Bellot 147 grains at 50 meters. Smallest group, the one in the sticker, measures about .31 Still need to fine-tune the zero some, but...

    Looking for rifle course somewhere in Europe.

    Hey guys, I've been looking around some for rifle training courses, but while I can find plenty based in the US, I can't seem to find many in Western Europe. Any other Euros know of any companies/organizations that offer them? I'm looking for ones that offer training in long distance shooting...

    FN 30-11, current setup (new scope)

    Re: FN 30-11, current setup (new scope) The cheekpad works great! And I have an old group somewhere, but it was only at 50 meters and I couldn't get a proper cheekweld back then so it isn't the best even at that distance. And I recently found out the barrel cleaning solution I had was crap...

    FN 30-11, current setup (new scope)

    Re: FN 30-11, current setup (new scope) Thanks for the compliment =) And as requested, a close-up pic of the mount. It's essentially the STANAG mount that comes with the rifle for putting on the 4x28 that comes with it, with a STANAG to Picatinny rail to it and standard 1 inch rings that...

    FN 30-11, current setup (new scope)

    Hey guys, Just got my Vortex Crossfire 6-24x50 AO with mil-dot reticle in, and just mounted it on my FN (well, mounted it half-assedly as it's dark, and I prefer doing proper mounting in the daylight). Just figured I'd make a pic and show y'all. Not the best scope one can buy, I know, but I'm...

    Range Report FN 30-11 at (weaksauce) 50 meters

    Finally mounted my Redfield Widefield 3-9x40 on my FN 30-11 .308 and went to the local range. Figured I'd show off one of the results, despite the paltry distance of 50 meters (I will be going to the nearby 100 meter outdoor range soon and post those results as well) 5 shots of 147 grain...

    Rifle Scopes Redfield Widefield 3-9x40

    Re: Redfield Widefield 3-9x40 Looked at those covers. Pretty cheap. Except the shipping costs to Europe is like 3 times as much. Oh well. Maybe I can get one of my US friends to buy them for me and mail them =) Also still waiting for my STANAG rings. Hope those arrive today.

    Rifle Scopes Redfield Widefield 3-9x40

    Re: Redfield Widefield 3-9x40 Well, I picked up the scope today. Very nice. Can barely even see where the rings have been. Now I just need to wait for my own rings to arrive. In the meantime, does anyone know of any lens covers that would fit it? The front objective wouldn't be a problem, but...

    Rifle Scopes Redfield Widefield 3-9x40

    Re: Redfield Widefield 3-9x40 Well, I'm picking it up tomorrow, and I've ordered some STANAG rings. Hope to have it mounted by the end of the week. I'm sure it'll look very nice on my 70's FN.

    Rifle Scopes Redfield Widefield 3-9x40

    Re: Redfield Widefield 3-9x40 I got it for 150 Euro, in seemingly pristine condition. I know there's probably better, but I'm rather short one cash. A European scope from the same period as my rifle(I want to keep it as 'period' as possible), in good condition, would run me 700+ Euro, and my...

    Rifle Scopes Redfield Widefield 3-9x40

    Hey guys, I mentioned to a local friend that I wanted a 'better' though affordable scope then the 4x with German #1 reticle that's currently on my FN 30-11, to hold me over until I can afford a decent period Zeiss/Hensoldt/Kahles/The like, and he's hooking me up with a vintage Redfield...

    Shooting my FN 30-11 (video)

    Re: Shooting my FN 30-11 (video) Just ingrained habit from shooting without a bipod (I spent most my time before I got my rifle shooting an old Mosin Nagant from a friend) Like I said, I wasn't being serious. Just wanted to get some rounds off on camera. This was at the end of a few hours of...

    Shooting my FN 30-11 (video)

    Hey folks, Just thought I'd show a vid of me shooting my vintage Fabrique Nationale 30-11. I'm the ugly guy with the bad mustache behind the rifle. Just some quick plinking at the 50 meter range, nothing serious. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A7eePeqB3c
