    AIAW and S & B Scope question

    Re: AIAW and S & B Scope question I shoot my SB 5-25x on a 45 MOA base on an AI. The 45 MOA base with 308/SB 5-25x will be fine. Likely, you will zero at 100Y between 7-9 MILS from the bottom of your scope's travel. You will have more than enough for 1200Y's worth of elevation for the 308...

    I've seen this on the board before but I can't get it in search... Who makes thread adapters? Specifically, I'm looking for 5/8-24 (barrel) to AI metric (suppressor). Thanks, Steve

    700 yard comparison. 338 LM and 308 win.

    Re: 700 yard comparison. 338 LM and 308 win. I don't own a 338, but I regularly shoot with a lot of people who do. If you can only go to 700, I don't see any benefit of a 338LM: 1) It costs more per round--big time. 2) Your windage adjustments with a 338LM will be minimal--kind of takes the...

    Rifle Scopes Optice choice? mil/mil or moa/moa

    Re: Optice choice? mil/mil or moa/moa NF 5-22x50 MLR (if you want mils) or an R1 (if you want MOA) with a medium Unimount. Find them used and you have $400 for ammo. You'll range at max power most of the time or use multiples at 11x--flexible enough when you need it. Make sure you have...

    Range Report What Ballistic Progam?

    Re: What Ballistic Progam? I've used Patagonia Ballistics (Loadbase 2.0) and the Nightforce software. I like Loadbase 2.0 better due to its customization features. By manipulating the drag coefficient (off of the library numbers) in Loadbase, I found that I could manipulate my drop tables to...

    Re: Trust Advantages and Disadvantages I in the Army, so it helps to have my family on the trust in case they have to move (with the suppressors) when I'm not available.

    How many 308 cases can you get in a 50cal ammo can

    Re: How many 308 cases can you get in a 50cal ammo can Empty loose cases-- ~800 and you'll have room at the top. I bag mine in lots of 250 and can get in 750 with a little extra room.

    Rifle Scopes Curious as to why CW & CCW options on S&B? Prefer?

    Re: Curious as to why CW & CCW options on S&B? Prefer? Have Lupy, NF, and S&B-- since Lupy/NF are CCW, I wanted my S&B the same. It seems like CW S&Bs are more prevalent on the sales sites.

    Why the M110

    Re: Why the M110 Was reading Army Times this week-- looks like 25ID is going to an 300WM M24 in an AICS 2.0. From the article, it seems like its going to be done under a modification to the existing contract.

    What .308 ammo are you using?

    Re: What .308 ammo are you using? I use American Ballistics 175s--I have gotten much better results from those rounds than BH175s. They are also less expensive.

    How do you package your rifles for shipping?

    Re: How do you package your rifles for shipping? +1 on Buckey. Light coat of oil on all. Plastic cheapo hardcase, taped, and then placed into a cardboard box. If I'm shipping with mags or other loose items, then I wrap them in bubble wrap so that they won't slide and scratch anything. I...

    Re: firstlong range bolt gun Go for a .308 bolt unless you have some place you can regularly shoot over 1200.

    Rifle Scopes Mils or MOA?

    Re: Mils or MOA? If you are working with MIL scopes in your job, then go MIL/MIL. If you are going to be punching a lot of paper, then MOA/MOA will give you finer increments of adjustment. Personally, I like the reticle options in MIL/MIL more and am trying to cull my collection to purely...

    which 308 semi-auto

    Re: which 308 semi-auto Accuracy--GAP AR10 / DPMS --A well-tuned AR10/DPMS can match a good-quality bolt gun. I had a custom built AR10, and it was exceptionally accurate. After almost 20 years in the Army, I never want to scrub a BCG again. AR10s get dirty quick. --DPMS 308 BBs are really...

    Rifle Scopes Best magnification for 1000 yard F-class

    Re: Best magnification for 1000 yard F-class I used a 5.5-22x50 NF and also saw through a 8-32x56 NF-- both were very good. I'm now using an S&B 5-25x56--excellent. I didn't really need the difference for 1000Y, but I found the S&B gave me resolution to see bullet holes on high vis targets...

    Having issues at 100Y

    Re: Having issues at 100Y Thanks all-- At 40 degrees, my fingers were starting to go numb by the second hour. Based on the sensitivity to changes many of you have described, the changing conditions in my hands could have been half my problem. I'm going to give some more ammo types a try and...

    Having issues at 100Y

    Re: Having issues at 100Y Shooting bipod. It was 40 degrees today with regular wind, so mirage wasn't really a factor. I didn't bring my sling this time, but I'm going to use the sling/bipod combo to really lock it down next time. I could watch the rounds "drop" more on path to the target...

    Having issues at 100Y

    Rimfire experts-- need some help. Shooting three different types of the Eley (EPS, Club, and Target Rifle) and WalMart Federals, I could barely stay consistent within 1.5"--elevation and windage. Wind was running 5-8 mph and pushing the bullet around (sometimes 3-4")--I understand that part...

    Re: Rings for AW Super Magnum and NF 5.5x22x56? Darin, I shot with a Unimount/NF 5.5-22x50 on my AE 308--I had 60 MOA of up elevation left after zero. Steve
