    F T/R Competition Rifle suggestions for Jr. shooting in F/TR?

    Re: Rifle suggestions for Jr. shooting in F/TR? I bet you would find he could shoot something like the Savage 12 Long Range Precision in 6.5 Creedmoor / 260 Remington without any issues. The gun weighs 12.5 lbs with a scope. I have one and the gun barely moves.

    F T/R Competition Basic equpment

    Re: Basic equpment My understanding is the heavier 7mm bullets (180gr) need to run around 2900-2950 to perform well at 1000 yards. Wont get there with a 308 case so may need to look at a 168gr 7mm.

    F T/R Competition What scope do you use for 600-1000 yard F T/R?

    Re: What scope do you use for 600-1000 yard F T/R? I use a Nightforce 8-32 x 56mm NXS with the NP-2DD and .125 moa clicks. There are pros and cons between it and the 12-42. 32 is plenty of power and you get more adjustment with it. At 42 power there is a good bit of difference looking at...

    Re: "Melonite barrel treatment" (DONE)!!!!

    Re: "Melonite barrel treatment" (DONE)!!!! For cartridges where the barrel wears out in the throat area from the high heat blast of gas - like a 6.5x284 - and not so much from the bullet zipping down the barrel, would this kind of thing be a good idea? Even more so if you were to add powder...

    Suppressors Threads off center

    Re: Threads off center The main point of this question is to get some opinions on if it is still close enough to center to not be an issue or if there is the possibility of something like a baffle strike or something else happening. I assume getting it fixed would require shortening up the...

    Suppressors Threads off center

    Re: Threads off center I was attempting to measure relative to the bore centerline. I measured this by placing the ball of the ball mic in the bore and then measuring to the outside of the threads - same way I would measure case neck thickness. If it was perfectly centered I would have...

    Suppressors Threads off center

    I recently had a barrel threaded for a suppressor. Using a ball mic to measure the barrel seems to be .008 thicker at the 6 o'clock position than it is at the 12 o'clock causing me to think the thread job is .004 off center. My question is - is this normal and within acceptable tolerances?

    Rifle Scopes Vortex vs NF vs Leupold

    Re: Vortex vs NF vs Leupold Curious if anyone knows if the optic quality of the 4-16s is on par with the 6-24s now? Back when reviews were saying the 6-24s were substantially better but I haven't been keeping up. I do have a Vortex 2.5-10, a 6-24 and a premier heritage 5-25. Had a vortex...

    Rifle Scopes Mounting using feeler gauges, any tips..?

    Re: Mounting using feeler gauges, any tips..? Bumping an old post but I would add even if they get stuck just tighten everything down and then remove the scope from the rail. No need to pry them out.
