    Rifle Scopes Vortex VS Weaver VS ........ 6-24 Range

    Re: Vortex VS Weaver VS ........ 6-24 Range @Roy. Agree. Larger turret range in the Sightron SIII's is definitely a plus, if needed for the distances your shooting. My thinking also is that adjustable objective vs. side focus is primarily personal preference. In my experience, getting the...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex VS Weaver VS ........ 6-24 Range

    Re: Vortex VS Weaver VS ........ 6-24 Range +1 I also recommend you check out Sightron. Their optics are superb for the $, tracking is excellent. Have had their 4.5-14x44 SII Big Sky on my .223 for almost 2 years - works great & holds zero. They recently eliminated the side focus models...

    Advanced Marksmanship crazy shots!!!! lets hear about them...

    Re: crazy shots!!!! lets hear about them... This is an actual, true story! A couple of weeks ago, the first time shooting a new 22LR at 200 yards, I dialed in the elevation, set up on target and sent the round. To my surprise there was a puff of dust way in front of the target, then the...

    Suggestions

    Re: Suggestions Great. So at 500yd you're 8in (~1.6 MOA) high. (Post a pic of your 500yd target if you get a chance.) That's a consistent pattern - the average of your shots is a bit higher than your actual elevation adjustments at each distance (300-500yd). That suggests tweaking your MV...

    Suggestions

    Re: Suggestions Assuming you kept track of your elevation adjustments at all those ranges (100-500 yards), and are confident of consistent solid shooting on your part, you should have enough information from those targets to refine your dope using JBM. (It would be better to have 5 shot...

    scope for Savage mkII TR

    Re: scope for Savage mkII TR I put a cheap BSA Contender 4-16x40 on my TR - mainly based on price and cool look of the knobs & ridges. http://www.bsaoptics.com/scope.aspx?productID=335#divReview The first one was DOA - returned immediately to Bass Pro Shop & they replaced w/o hassle of...

    Hello SH new member here

    Re: Hello SH new member here Another welcome. I'm new here too. So far I've learned a lot from the "Fundamentals of Marksmanship" sticky in the Advanced Marksmanship forum: http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=216239#Post216239 Also taken a couple of local...

    Suggestions

    Re: Suggestions I'm pretty new here, but I'll take a shot at some suggestions for you. To be sure of accurate DOPE for the distance ranges you mentioned you have two choices. Shoot at those ranges to see what your bullet does (then adjust your MV in the ballistics calculator to match the...

    Re: Things Are Starting To Click (not turrets...) Regarding "bipod hop," I recommend that you check out the advice in this thread (How not to shoulder a rifle): http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=3102515#Post3102515 I'm also new to long range shooting, and...

    How to not "shoulder" a rifle

    Re: How to not "shoulder" a rifle Many thanks to LawnMM, Forecon & Tripwire for your excellent advice. Monday afternoon I practiced "dead weight" loading of the bipod/shoulder with ~100 rounds of 22LR (hopefully enough repetition to begin breaking some bad habits), moved on to the .223 and...

    How to not "shoulder" a rifle

    Re: How to not "shoulder" a rifle Thanks guys. The "dead weight" approach to shouldering the rifle and loading the bipod sounds good and intuitive to me. I'll work on this my next trip to the range. Hopefully this will help to smooth out my inconsistencies driving the rifle.

    Precision Rifle Training in the SE?

    Re: Precision Rifle Training in the SE? Took a Long Range Precision Rifle course from Atlanta Firearms Training back in Oct. It was an excellent introduction. Included a 1/2 day classroom session - safety, ballistics, ranging, etc. At the range we zeroed our rifles, chronographed our ammo...

    Re: 1000 yd range in near north GA? Thanks for the info on Cool Acres! Wasn't aware of that one. Looks like a worthwhile trip to South GA (it is below the "fall line.")

    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    Re: show some pics of your rimfire sticks!! Hey Boudin, that sure looks like Gun Site Hills in your second picture (nice rifle project by the way). Shot there several weeks ago - part of a long range precision rifle course. Gun Site is a really good place, and I sure wish we had a range out...
