    Best value for money spotting scope

    Re: Best value for money spotting scope Reason for the spotting scope are: ease of observation you do not have to stay on your gun which reduces fatigue, and you can transition between eyes without changing body position, having a spotting scope allows for your buddy to spot for you as you...

    So I was a little bored

    Re: So I was a little bored Good idea, should reduce the opportunity to have your Kestrel kicked, stepped on, covered in dirt, stolen, Copenhagen spit applied to it, having other stuff dropped on it, and it is handy for those weather checks. Nice job

    Re: Gear Review: PRS tripods, cradles, and accessories The video works fine and I appreciate you taking the time to put it all together. Smaddox, As far as size the SSP-1 should fit the HS Precision stock if it the same as the one I had on my Remington PSS. Shoot me an email to...

    Earmuffs and cheek weld - My current ones suck

    Re: Earmuffs and cheek weld - My current ones suck It is personal preference and what works for you. I too can not get a good stock weld and even with pistol and carbine or shotgun work they just seem to get in the way or knocked off the ear just enough to be worthless for the .338 with a...

    AmericanSnipers at SHOT 2012

    Re: AmericanSnipers at SHOT 2012 I went to SHOT here in Houston back in the early '90's when I was home on leave with a buddy and former 8541 who was working for one of these outfits like a REI or something, and I had an absolute blast. I have not been since but I am making the trip this...

    Field Precision Rifle Class Concept Approved!

    Re: Field Precision Rifle Class Concept Approved! First if you have not shot an F-Class TR match you need to go shoot it even if you borrow a rifle to do it. Once you have done this you will have a better understanding of what is being asked. You will also see how the open class is an event...

    Snow ghillie build ideas

    Re: Snow ghillie build ideas U.S. overwhites or the Canadian set up will certainly work. I would not worry about adding anything to it as far as jute. In snow the use of terrain to include drifts, treelines, shadows etc. will afford you plenty of concealment without building up a bunch of...

    NRA Annual meeting St.Louis

    Re: NRA Annual meeting St.Louis I went when it was here in Houston in '05 and it was well worth my time. Certainly worth checking out if you do not have a chance to attend SHOT. The NRA show is geared more towards the end user instead of the manufacture distributor crowd. Again if you are...

    DIY - Shooters logbook

    Re: DIY - Shooters logbook Appears that you may have bought them out as the binder link will not allow you to add it to your cart. Very nice and concise write up with links. This is pretty much how we had to do it for years until production models became readily available. We typically had to...

    Mounting Bushnell Fusion bino's to tripod?

    Re: Mounting Bushnell Fusion bino's to tripod? Nimoz, If you do not mind would you wrap a tape around the binos just in front of the power and range buttons on top for the circumference and then measure the distance between the centerline of the eye pieces with it set for your eyes. I am...

    Shooting 50-213-275-425-500 yards

    Re: Shooting 50-213-275-425-500 yards Topstrap, Thank you for the insight and I must say 120 MOA of room to play does sound attractive when exercising these .22's.

    Shooting 50-213-275-425-500 yards

    Re: Shooting 50-213-275-425-500 yards It is an interesting idea but my concerns are way too many parts and the biggest concern being that it really gets the sight height way above where I believe it would be comfortable for me. I did the same thing you did with zeroing my top dot at 50 and...

    Re: Shooting 50-213-275-425-500 yards Here is the base I bought: EGW base for Winchester Model 52 I got the 20 MOA base to get me a little more for dialing the distance. Here are a couple of pictures, Ill have to get some target photos this week while I'm off. I had always wanted...

    Re: Shooting 50-213-275-425-500 yards Clayne, What is your barrel length and twist for your CZ? I have two of the Tasco 2.5x10-42 and have had great success out of them for years. One on a custom 10/22 and the other on a Marlin 880SQ both with 20 MOA bases and TPS rings and they have always...

    PRS Tripod and krylon?

    Re: PRS Tripod and krylon? An example of one I painted in a want-a-be multicam pattern can be seen in the Gearhead section of the new Surefire Combat Tactics magazine. It is kind of hard to see the pattern in the picture but I guess that means I did a decent job, as it blends pretty well...
