    Which caliber is better

    First off, I love youthful exuberence. Primarily because I have accomplished far more than I ever dreamed of in life because I refused to believe in limitations. Childish they say! They say maturity is recognizing your limitations!...well bullshit. No matter how old you are if you stop dreaming...

    Multiply a 3-shot group by 1.28 to get your expected 5-shot group?

    I made a study of this 20yrs ago when I was shooting nearly every day. From hundreds of firing sessions over several years I amused myself one day by taking all the data and calculating this very topic. I found that 5 shot groups were 1.33x 3-shot groups, and 10 shot groups were 1.5x 5 shot...

    Why the hatred for savage?

    The good news about people thinking Savage is trash is the resale value. I found a Savage 30-06 in great shape for $50 at a pawn shop, simply because the desk guy couldn't remove the bolt so he thought it was broken......he said "those savage rifles never work right". Slid the bolt out when...

    Anyone built a 1/2 minute rifle off a Wby action?

    My FACTORY 30-378 V runs in the .2s to .3s with handloads. To all these haters saying Wthby cant shoot, I've NEVER had a factory Wthby V that couldn't shoot 1/2moa. They do not have reputation for inaccuracy. Quite the opposite. No one in my 30 years of competitive shooting has said a Wthby...

    Trigger pull weight

    2lbs. I have over 2 dozen competition rifles. I've tried every trigger weight over the years. Consistently 2lbs works perfect for me. Light triggers always make me think about finger position *too* much. I can rest my finger on a 2lb trigger without worry and the feel is gradual right up to let...

    Jeeez Louise. Where are all the reloading supplies and factory ammo disappearing too?

    Depends on where you live. Where I am in Florida there is a metric shit ton of ammo. Gun show last weekend had it stacked up. I literally just bought 5000 win primers for $150. Of course, most of us here already have our own, and have for some time. Hurricanes and all. Have to be prepared.

    Kind of new guy from Florida

    Thanks guys. I appreciate the support, and good advice from lash...good stuff. I've bought a number of items off the internet and all have gone smooth over the years..everything as expected...condition, description, etc. I've generally seen over packing as the norm, though some not so much and...

    How To Cut Body Fat: The Proper And Healthy Way

    Re: How To Cut Body Fat: The Proper And Healthy Wa This is a great discussion. I was a very fat kid (the one called hippo among others) and since high school have made fitness a habit, so as I have aged I've noticed that the rules for fitness when your younger change at different periods of...

    Range Report NO snow in Florida

    Re: NO snow in Florida I was three lanes over from Will, no smell there. 460yds at that picture, then went to 700 before time ran out. On good days an even thou, someday maybe more if we fill in some swamp. We have to keep an eye on the water behind us for gators. You knew that didn't you...

    F-Class scope selection

    Re: F-Class scope selection Agree with Ryan. I used to use 25x Leupolds and thought it was good but then found myself secretly coveting the NF and USO on the line. 25x just isn't good enough, not if you want to win. Trust the advice here, many of us have been there done that. Get the 12-42x...

    Steyr SSG 69 PI

    Re: Steyr SSG 69 PI Guess I've had good luck, have owned 2 PIIs and one PIIk. All were 1/4 moa. 168MK, 46.0g Varget, 2.885" AOL. Over the years I've sold the PIIs but kept the PIIk. It is a ringer among ringers. Best out of box rifle you can get. These and my Blaser are the only factory...

    Steyr SSG 69 PI

    Re: Steyr SSG 69 PI If you are like me and have smaller hands, DO NOT get the double trigger. The set trigger is the rear one, the release trigger is in the front, positioned farther forward than the single trigger would be. Although I love the idea of a double trigger, the front trigger in a...

    Maggie’s Most impressive shot?

    Re: Most impressive shot? I visited Hard Rock many years ago. This was my first visit to HardRock and I just getting familiar with the range...its practice day on a Friday. I set up to sight in at 1000yds. I'm sitting next to a guy who is probably 30 yrs my senior. I ask him what is shooting...
