    155 gr scenar question?

    I've had good luck shooting 175 gr sierras out of my ar-10. When I tried using the 155gr scenars I had some load issues, but they performed great otherwise. Actually they shot better than the 175s. Anyone have suggestion on why they don't feed as well as the 175s or anyone else ran into this...

    Rifle Scopes Mini 14 Scout scope

    Re: Mini 14 Scout scope FYI, I'm not sure how well that scope will work on the mini-14, the ruger I had was built so the scope mounted in front of the action. I'm sure they have mounts that will work for you aplication, but it will need to be placed well forward of typical scope placement.

    Rifle Scopes Mini 14 Scout scope

    Re: Mini 14 Scout scope I purchased the Scout scope sold by Leupold and had really good results. I was using it on the ruger M77 guide gun. I'm sure you know that this scope has an extreamly long eye relief so it can be mounted about 6 inches futher forward, almost like a pistol scope. Not a...

    Rifle Scopes Quality optics vs overall expense

    Re: Quality optics vs overall expense this subject has gone a little off path, but for the most part I'm seeing a pretty general theme. I'm perfectly happy with my Nightforcce, this scope perforems without flaw for me. I've shot out to 1300 yards with my ar-10 with results that most that...

    Rifle Scopes Quality optics vs overall expense

    I'm not a pro, I don't claim to be the best shot or have the best equipment. I do understand that you must own quality equipment if you expect quality. I'm a sport class tactical shooter. I enjoy shooting long rang out to 1,300 yards when I get the chace and doing this takes somewhat expensve...

    Underestimation of wife's ability.......

    So I've been teaching my boys a few things about shooting of course my wife has been joining in on the festivity. We started out shooting my Ruger 10/22. Not the best rifle to teach with but it's short and easy to handle for the boys and my wife seems to shoot it well. So skip forward a few...

    I want a 1/2 moa 308 where do I get it?

    Re: I want a 1/2 moa 308 where do I get it? This is what every shooter needs to do. We all need to let DP425 teach us how to hold a 1/2 moa group at any distance in any condition. As he explained in his post it's all the shooters fault for not being able to do this. I do apologize for geting...

    Rifle Scopes What to put on my Anschutz 54

    Purchased a super match Anschutz to try my luck with target 22 shooting. The rifle acts like it's going to do just fine, but the scope that's on it must go. Don't want to spend a fortune but I know it's going to take a few bucks. Give me some recommendations.

    Put Scope on My Match HBar or Trade It?

    Re: Scope Match HBar or trade it? I've got the same rifle and was going to do exactly what your thinking about. I just put a decent Leupy on top of my carry handle and the rifle shoots great. I'm using the 69 grain Sierras over varget, five shot groups under 3/4 moa are very common even had...

    Gunsmithing Flute and chop an AR10T?

    Re: Flute and chop an AR10T? Here's another .02 Why not buy another barrel and have the work done to it. May cost a little more in the long run. You may even find a barrel already fluted and cut to the length you want. The best part is if you don't like it you can switch back... I bought a...

    FC BRASS?

    Re: FC BRASS? I've had trouble with the primer pocket on federal brass being oversized after the 2nd reload. Haven't had much luck with the stuff. Winchester brass has always been good. Hope yours dosen't give you any trouble though.

    flame on

    Re: flame on I think you can get to 500 yrds. I loaded some 69g seirra hpbt up for a mini I had. I could tell after just a few shots the rifle liked the bullet. I'm pretty sure the mini has a 1/7 twist rate so it's going to like a heavier bulit, and this will help with the longer shot as...

    Range Report Finally got to a 1000 yards

    Re: Finally got to a 1000 yards I'm not sure which is more difficult here in Missouri, trying to shot to 1000 yrds or finding a spot to long enough. I've had the pleasure of hitting the 800 yrd steel. Can't wait to try again at 1000. Nice shooting. Looks like you have a nice set up as well.

    Re: Crappy day at the range I wish I had a few of your crappy days at the range. Not trying to step on your post, but the first liar dosn't have a chance. Purchased a remington 504 to teach my wife how to properly shoot a bolt gun. Topped it with a 3x9 Luppy, Went to the rang zeroed it at...

    Range Report .223 80 AMAX Report

    Re: .223 80 AMAX Report Pleased, he was pleased. That's nice... He's shooting a .223 1200 yards, misses a piece of NOTEBOOK paper by less than a foot and he's pleased. I'm pleased and it's not even my rifle. Not to mention it was done in less than perfect conditions.

    Re: Extreme Weather Shooting A friend and I are trying to figure this out as well. We, well I should say I haven't had the chance to shoot in really cold conditions, and I don't think I will. I do want to know what effect it's going to have on my shot. In my opinon only. I feel the firearm...
