    DMR Championship at PNTC, WV 7-26/7-27

    First, thanks to Nightforce for the fantastic scope they put on the prize table. That is VERY big support from a top shelf company. It was also kind of funny... BS'ing with Ian after the match, both he and I are running a NF 2.5-10x. Congrats to Ian on a lights-out, skull crushing...

    Springfield M1A into a precision rifle...possible?

    Another consideration is that the M1A is extremely hard on brass. Harder on it than a machinegun. You won't get many firings out of a case. Maybe four at best. And it is extremely finicky when we are talking about trying to keep it at or near 1MOA. I have owned both and the AR...

    That's correct. 3099 is fine. Go for the accuracy node more than the speed. --Fargo007

    FWIW, we have never seen a student languish on the firing line that he "brought too much ammo." ETA - We also encourage students to bring a second firearm if they wish. We want to to take the COURSE with one rifle, but the second is nice to serve as a backup, and also to be able to shoot it on...

    Mason Dixon Sniper Series 2014 Match #3 MGPA Westminster MD

    Extremely well organized and efficiently run. 22 Shooters done by noon doesn't happen by accident. Thanks to the MD and the staff for another good one. I liked how the CoF was mostly up off the ground. --Fargo007

    James Yeager on Mosin Nagant PU (Language Warning!)

    Yup - Ludmilla Pavlichenko. We've let so many very important people in history die without ever talking to them as much as we should have. That woman CH shot while squatting and pissing wasn't a sniper (at least not most notorious for that). She was called "the apache" and her gig was...

    sixfive - Either one is fine as long as it's under that velocity cap. padom: 75 per day minimum = 150. We recommend 200 total though. --Fargo007

    Mason Dixon Sniper Series 2014 Match #3 MGPA Westminster MD

    It will be a privilege to have him aboard. He is most welcome to send a few with my rifle. .223 AR with a can. It's like shooting a stick of butter. --Fargo007

    It would work, but that's a LOT of gun for a beginner/intermediate course. How fast are you sending them? Our targets can't tolerate 3100fps so it would have to be under that. Aside of that, you would probably learn a lot more with a less laserlike caliber. In terms of wind effects and...

    Thank you! Yes, that happened TWICE. Losing a calendar day is a big hit for a small training company. We're not exactly full but definitely we have enough students that the course is going to run. Looking forward to it a lot. I personally know most of the group to be proven long range...

    Gym Pet-Peeves

    Guys on roids that give off a smell like rotten farina. Guidos, and all the baggage that phenomenon carries with it. The bullshitters/talkers. Those who think they can do pull ups but never actually complete one good rep. People who feel it necessary to eat IN the gym. The guy...

    Where has the .260 Rem brass gone?

    The suggested reading is good advice IMHO. Well there's of course smart-car, chevy, cadillac, and lamborghini. I did it 100% on my own with online resources and that was back when the internets was young. Now you've got videos, guides, all kinds of stuff. And a place where you can ask...

    Where has the .260 Rem brass gone?

    Why not look at this as the watershed event that launched you into handloading? Especially for a caliber like .260 REM where there isn't an abundance of factory ammo out there. You will save a LOT of money and the results you get will far surpass anything out of a box. --Fargo007

    That would have been plenty of gun in my opinion. Typically we press the semi out to 700 or so. --Fargo007

    Anyone Using Battle Ropes?

    If you can, get an old boat anchor line. Don't spend the money on a manila rope unless you are also going to climb it. zenghost - that's a great workout idea. I love it. --Fargo007

    It depends what kind of scope you have on there and how the rifle shoots accuracy wise but most likely yes. A sling is going to be required equipment for this and you should definitely have one on the rifle. We will have two instructors and one line coach, whether we hit 15 or not...
