    I have this exact setup with Burris Low rings on the EGW 20MOA mount on my American in .308.

    Range Report Minute of angle question

    To get super technical if you wanted ONLY a 1 minute target at 600 yards it'd be a 6.28314" diameter circle. The square would technically be larger than 6 minutes corner to corner if it measured 6 minutes side to side, and less than 6 side to side if it measured 6 corner to corner. Ignore the...

    51-52" gun cases.. Who the hell makes them?

    Midway (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/939171584/midwayusa-sniper-drag-bag-scoped-rifle-case) has a clone of the Condor bag with 50" and 56" versions. I have the 50" and I like it a lot. The zipper pulls are crap and I need to modify them but otherwise it seems pretty quality. It was...

    Member Link Up Anyone from Illinois?

    I'm on the Iowa/Illinois border near Rock Island. I'd be willing to drive a bit to get to a nice place to shoot some distance though. Shoot me a PM if you have something.

    New long range shooter here, need advice

    You must have more money to burn and longer ranges to shoot at then I. I went with the cheapest 308 that'd shown sub-MOA performance because the difference between calibers seems to just be math (and cost) if you're not going transonic with any of them and aren't worried about PBR. How far do...

    New long range shooter here, need advice

    I'm a new guy too, just curious why you decided to go with a rifle with an 8 month wait for your very first setup? Also, I recognize Rex's list, I watched all his YouTube videos too before I even got behind my rifle and while I enjoyed them, they're largely irrelevant right now to me. I'm more...

    Ruger American 308

    I'd read some good reviews (and some bad) on the Ultramax so at $1/rnd I bought 80 rounds of it. We'll see how it goes. As far as reloading goes, a group of us are going to be reloading exact FGMM 168 clones for reasons here soon. There are no hunting loads under $20/box here, probably...

    Ruger American 308

    I'd hold off judgment until I can do the rifle justice and run good ammo through it. Once I'm confident I'm doing my part I've got 40rnds FGMM 168 here and 200 FGMM 175s en route. I know the rifle shoots better than I'm driving it right now. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

    Ruger American 308

    I'm getting some nasty bipod hop but I'm brand new to this kind of shooting. As far as actual discomfort, not bad. There's a lot if recoil pad there. I certainly wouldn't mind the rifle being heavier but that's not what it was designed for. I'm hoping eventually someone offer some stock...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns EDC Auto Knife

    I've got a Benchmade for Blackwater BWGA7 that I carried for a long time until I retired it just in case the logo was ever worth anything. I don't see anything directly comparable for size on Benchmade's site but it was a 3.47" blade at .48" thick, a bit smaller than the Stryker. It was a...

    New guy from Eastern Iowa.

    I'm just getting in to this precision shooting thing and enjoy the forum. I've shot pistols and ARs for a long time now but never touched a bolt gun. I'm watching through Rex's Sniper 101 on YouTube and although I only have 100 yards to shoot on right now I'm enjoying learning the small...
