    Neck pain when shooting prone?

    I am a practicing physical therapist and I too experience a degree of neck pain occasionally when I've spent considerable time in prone. When I first started back shooting from the prone position a few years back, my neck pain was considerably greater. I thought to myself, "I'm a...

    Will a Marlin XT-22 trigger assembly fit a 925-R

    I bought a couple Marlin 925Rs for my boys' Christmas last year. No sooner than I did so (wouldn't you know it) Marlin has to come out with the XT-22 model with the "Really Cool" trigger system. I think that, intending to personally insult me, they scheduled the release of said gun to coincide...

    CCI CB Long VS. Rem. CBee 22 - Quiet ammo showdown

    Re: CCI CB Long VS. Rem. CBee 22 - Quiet ammo showdown I've had similar results with the CCI Longs. My first experience shooting CCI CB Longs was through a Ruger 10/22 with a sporter barrel. At 20 yards the group was one ragged hole. I was so impressed that I switched to using it as my...

    Advanced Marksmanship Formula for Calculating MV?

    Re: Formula for Calculating MV? Perhaps a different question then: The JBM calculator uses some formula for being able to calculate the drop of a bullet iffn one plugs in MV, BC, bullet weight, zero range, coriolis effect and spin drift direction and anticipated magnitude divided by the...

    Advanced Marksmanship Formula for Calculating MV?

    Re: Formula for Calculating MV? Fred, Thank you for your reply but I did that already and the results were helpful. However, I'm one of those silly individuals that enjoy brain cramps, ass whuppins and joining the Marine Corps. I was hoping for the long-hand version. I have researched...

    Advanced Marksmanship Formula for Calculating MV?

    Wow, I feel like I've hit the big-time cause here I am posting in the "Advanced Maksmanship" section.   Now to make a fool of myself.  I was at the range earlier today and squeezed a few off. I ran a ballistics table on the load I was using but since we forgot the dad-blamed blankety-blank...

    Rifle Scopes Unexpected Results at the Range

    Re: Unexpected Results at the Range My friend got off work early today and even better, I didn't even have to go in. When he got off, he asked if he could come to my home range. I eagerly agreed for him to do so for I was anxious to put Aziz's advice into action. The first thing I did was...

    Rifle Scopes Unexpected Results at the Range

    Re: Unexpected Results at the Range We aren't trying to zero our scopes at the mechanical bottom. We're just zeroing our scopes from the mechanical bottom and then going out from there until we hit some limiting factor regardless of what that limiting factor may be - loss of accuracy...

    Rifle Scopes Unexpected Results at the Range

    Re: Unexpected Results at the Range Thank you all for the positive feedback. See, y'all done gone and made me blush. Allow me to adjust the parallax on what I see as a paradox and perhaps greater clarity can be achieved for all. Perhaps for me most of all. As I understand it: As...

    Rifle Scopes Unexpected Results at the Range

    Re: Unexpected Results at the Range I'm sorry sir but there was one question that you asked of me that I forgot to answer. "Twent like this: "1) Why did you both decide to run 40MOA scope bases on rifles equipped with already limited elevation adjustment to run a scope base with that much...

    Rifle Scopes Unexpected Results at the Range

    Re: Unexpected Results at the Range My decision to purchase the Bushnell was based on this review: here. It used to sit atop my 700p. It now sits atop a .22. The reason I have a data card for the Core-Lokt ammo is because at one time I had a brand spanking new rifle, had not yet...

    Rifle Scopes Unexpected Results at the Range

    Re: Unexpected Results at the Range Met - Both are 30mm tubes. TM - The 40 moa base is to increase the distance I can stretch my rifle out to. Without the canted base, my scope's elevation adjustment would be the limiting factor. The theoretical limit would be < 1000 yards. I wanted to...

    Rifle Scopes Unexpected Results at the Range

    Have a friend that is just getting into the long-range game and his gear is very similar to my own. He took it to the range for the first time yesterday. Given the similarity of our gear, we thought that his data card would look similar to my own. We were wrong. Here is what we found. <span...

    Rifle Scopes How does one calculate the effect a canted base

    Re: How does one calculate the effect a canted base Greg, thanks for the advice. Please tell me if I did anything wrong in mounting my scope. Once I had the Picatinny rail affixed to the .22, I removed the 4200 from the .308 by detaching the scope mounts. Next, the scope with mounts was...

    Rifle Scopes How does one calculate the effect a canted base

    Re: How does one calculate the effect a canted base Sorry Sir about the delayed response, Thanksgiving and all. Barrel droop would certainly seem to explain the discrepancy. My son was in from college for the holiday and he and I did a little training to work off that large meal. Together...

    Rifle Scopes How does one calculate the effect a canted base

    Re: How does one calculate the effect a canted base I started out with the scope at the mechanical bottom.  I then dialed ~11 moa of elevation by rotating the turret in the direction marked "UP" which on my scope is in a counterclockwise direction and when so manipulated, causes the turret...

    Rifle Scopes How does one calculate the effect a canted base

    Re: How does one calculate the effect a canted base Aries, I received my EGW 20 MOA Picatinny base in the mail yesterday. I affixed it to my 10/22 last night and had an unexpected opportunity to try it out earlier today. What I found was shocking. Based on this information a 60 yard...

    Rifle Scopes Need help with Christmas idea for kids

    Re: Need help with Christmas idea for kids Sir, Your $0.02 was well spent. I think I may go with your suggestion and defer the scope purchase. Having said that, I start all of my kids out very young with disciplined practice. Each of the four that I'm intending to purchase a .22 for were...
