    Hunting & Fishing Father and Son Hunt in VA

    Re: Father and Son Hunt in VA Last day hunting does add anxiety but I hope the learning curve must be a bit easier where you can shoot two deer in a day! That doesn't happen in all states.

    Rifle Scopes MOA in MIL recticle substentions?

    Admittedly I watch the classifieds mostly but have read many of the links about Mil vs. MOA, etc. We're all visual though and while pondering a new USO, or getting a used one and looking at the different reticles I see the JNG Mill is the only one that shows an MOA measurement in the bottom...

    Rifle Scopes Why isn't glass objectively measured?

    Re: Why isn't glass objectively measured? If we can attach a digital to a spotter, then surely a digital can be attached to a scope on a bench for evalutation. Resolution I think is the tricky one. They already measure light transmission and advertise it. Distortion is distortion - how...

    F T/R Competition Field Precision Rifle Class Concept Approved!

    Re: Field Precision Rifle Class Concept Approved! As a noob, I recognize the words - Palma, F-class, tactical, whatever. I've got a rifle, I'm willing to participate, put me in the line where I should be and be courteous that I've got a learning curve relative to regulars. When siting a...

    Rifle Scopes Why isn't glass objectively measured?

    Re: Why isn't glass objectively measured? The OP has a point. We've done similar comparisons in photography for over 40 years. I think what's lacking in scope comparisons is what is happening in photography at places like http://www.dpreview.com/ (and it's not porn ;-) )where there's a...

    What do you do?

    Re: What do you do? Our local rifle range collects all brass not picked up by the shooter and takes it to a recycler. The proceeds go towards the youth programs if I understand correctly. When I'm out in the woods and desert I often end up picking up someone's 'fun day out shooting' and...

    Info found. Please delete.

    Re: Rifle case I saw it too, it was a AR pistol setup...must have been in Firearms for Sale classifieds, last Friday at earliest, Tuesday AM, latest I would guess.

    AZ LRPRS July Monthly Match

    Re: AZ LRPRS July Monthly Match I happened to 'squad' (to watch) with several in this group at a Prescott meet. They might give you a hard time but they're not hard azzz'd. If you don't shoot, it is fun to get behind a spotter and recognize a hit. Was easier in our group because we had two...

    Kestrel w/Atrag

    Re: Kestrel w/Atrag Thank OP for asking and thanks Knight for replying. Even looking at the produce website it's not always easy for newbies to figure this out.

    POA / POI change, barrel heated?

    Re: POA / POI change, barrel heated? We're just pre-monsoon here which means calm mornings and afternoon thunderstorms....good range time for two targets. 50y zero, five shot group, then waited for 15 minute cease fire interveral to move the target. Same ammo, rifle, bipod, scope and range...

    POA / POI change, barrel heated?

    Re: POA / POI change, barrel heated? I'm sure most of this is me, either in technique or shooting too fast (+heat as the barrel is warm to the touch) but appreciate the replies so that I keep an eye out for anything else that needs to be considered. To the points raised: I was probably...

    POA / POI change, barrel heated?

    Gathering my thoughts and pics here to see if I understand this correctly. I seem to be ok at 25y. I seem to be ok at 50y But at 100y I’m all over, My question is the variable at 100y barrel heat and / or proper shooting (bipod) technique? The ‘evidence’ is as follows: Ruger 77/17 hm2, 20’’...

    Why do you guys think the .17HMII failed to

    Re: Why do you guys think the .17HMII failed to I have to wonder a bit why 'we' think it failed and by what measure? Can I get a 17hm2 rifle and ammo? Yes. Might I have to make arrangements to do so? Yes. But then, here on the Hide we see rifles mentioned casually that you would be lucky...

    Got my longest .22lr kill yesterday

    Re: Got my longest .22lr kill yesterday Sometimes you gotta go that extra bit ... might have been worth digging a couple of inches, get to know your prey ;-) and have the proof! Would be fun to have a couple of folks in the Yavapai Cty area to go out with on occassion!

    Best Tripod Head / Mount

    Re: Best Tripod Head / Mount I keep reading threads and coming across stuff new to me and looking it up - like the Spotter 60. But geez, the prices are to the point I'm waiting for someone to post a WTT offer of their shooting outfit for a house!

    Best *QUALITY* 22lr pistol for suppression?

    Re: Best *QUALITY* 22lr pistol for suppression? Bump. I'm left wondering how to evaluate something if you have nothing to compare it to? It's a lot of time and money to go through to get one, much less others to compare...for most they'll get one pistol, and one suppressor and just live...

    Building a new house... Gun Vault..

    Re: Building a new house... Gun Vault.. No expert, but can say that most units available in HVAC form will be oversized for the room. We had this problem with a safe storage room, where the humidity level was such that it caused the system to repeatedly cycle on / off - worse than if there...

    Sniper Rifle Game

    Re: Sniper Rifle Game Maybe it would look something like this? Manufactuer Accuracy (M.A. which probably ranges from 3" to 1/4") (((M.A x distance) x shots fired) x assigned recoil) + atmospherics = 'cone of accuracy' That way it would be reactive to game play and weapon choice. I'm sure...

    Best Tripod Head / Mount

    Re: Best Tripod Head / Mount Lowlight, why the 'carbon fiber works best in high winds' ? Most carbon fiber are a carry-weight to support-weight ratio since they carry more structurally. But they don't do the job of stability any better. Many were developed for backpacking with 4x5 + gear...
