    Re: My first time ever shooting a bolt gun Great group man!!! Feel free to hijack this thread. How long have you had your rifle? What position were you shooting in? What kind of rifle? JP

    Rifle Scopes Total Newbie Scope Question

    Re: Total Newbie Scope Question Trust me I love my hippy mother. Without her I wouldn't be nearly as grounded as I am. However, even though she wasn't anti-gun I didn't get to the range much, and I'm having to become a man the slow way. Does anyone have any more input on my original...

    Rifle Scopes Total Newbie Scope Question

    Re: Total Newbie Scope Question It is holding its point of impact well. It just goes blurry during recoil which makes sense because the rifle is moving, but then once the gun settles it takes a few seconds for the scope to recover and re-focus. I'm sorry for being such a total newb, but I...

    Rifle Scopes Total Newbie Scope Question

    Re: Total Newbie Scope Question Thanks for the info. I knew there was a real term for it. I'll learn them all eventually. So do you think that my scope was behaving normal? I didn't think I'd have to wait for the scope to settle down that much. There is something internally moving in...

    Rifle Scopes Total Newbie Scope Question

    I tried doing a search for this so please don't flame me if its been discussed at great length. I just shot my rifle for the first time with a Super Sniper 10X42M scope on it. I was attempting to "follow through" my shot by maintaining my sight picture during recoil, and I noticed that...

    Range Report My first time ever shooting a bolt gun PICS ADDED

    Re: My first time ever shooting a bolt gun Yeah, I already have a ton of reloading components for .308, 5.56, and my various pistol calibers. Now I just have to buy the set up to actual reload with them. I've been buying powder and stuff for about a year now. I need a good spotting scope...

    Range Report My first time ever shooting a bolt gun PICS ADDED

    Re: My first time ever shooting a bolt gun Thanks for the kind words of encouragement. Shooting is something that is in my blood. My grandfather was a decorated marksman in WWII. He fought mostly in the pacific, and he took four bullets for what our country once was. He started the local...

    Range Report My first time ever shooting a bolt gun PICS ADDED

    Re: My first time ever shooting a bolt gun That is a great suggestion. I've been looking for a Sako Quad here in my home town, and I've been wildly unsuccessful. I may have to try and order one from internet land. I think I really need to spend a lot of time behind my rifle without...

    Range Report My first time ever shooting a bolt gun PICS ADDED

    Well, some of you may remember my original build thread from Febuary. I'm one of those silly guys who buys a decent rifle, and then bolts all of the "cool" stuff to it before he even heads to the range. You know the type of guy that the old timers on here shake there head at (and rightly so)...
