    3x5 Data Book

    I'm definitely going to give it a try on my next trip to the range. Just put together a new rifle with an optic I've never used before too, and I figure this has got to be a better solution than me trying to write stuff down randomly in a notebook and then later wondering about the stuff I...

    3x5 Data Book

    Not trying to nitpick, but I was scrutinizing the first card in the databook mainly because there's a lot of terms that I'm not familiar with as a relative noob in this sport, and I noticed a small math error. For calculating hold for movers, you've got: 10mil/s x 1.2s TOF = 10.2 mil It...

    Solved my Problem with Fliers and Intermittent Accuracy Loss.

    Another option for the Loctite you're using on the screws: Permatex has their version of threadlocker also. They make an orange version that they say is 3 times stronger than the blue stuff, but it doesn't require heat to break it loose like the red stuff does. Just a thought.

    Lifestyle for precision shooting?

    I know that when I quit smoking I would get frustrated with everything a lot more easily at first. Doing fast pistol drills and a couple shots don't go where I want them to and immediately I start getting all wound up. Same with a feeling of general anxiety behind the rifle, with constant...

    New nucleus action?

    That's definitely a Gen 2 action. The big rotating crossbolt at the top was a feature of the 1st Gen Nucleus actions like the one I have. The ARC website has kinda always been a little behind, from what I can tell. If you look at the description of the Gen 2 Nucleus, I'm pretty sure they are...

    Hello from Sacramento, CA

    Last I checked you had to be an NRA member first just to become a regular member. Then you had to be a regular member for a couple of years before someone could nominate you to be considered for a senior member. And of course there are fees and such involved as well. Unless the rules have...

    Accessories BUYERS BEWARE !!!!

    My favorites are the ads you find where the picture of an item is clearly a picture of the item being displayed on a computer monitor. Like the scammer didn't even bother to download and crop the image and re-upload it, they just took a picture of their monitor. Runner up goes to the...

    Hello from Sacramento, CA

    Been out to SVSC all of one time. Longest range they have there is 300 meters unless you're a member of their club. And that just gets you out to 500. If you want access to the 1000 meter range you need to be a senior member first. Plus last I checked they were closed to the public because...

    Accessories BUYERS BEWARE !!!!

    Yep, I'm on a bunch of random forums, and often when I'd see a matching WTB in one and a WTS in another, I'd match them up. I quit doing that like a year ago because the sheer amount of scammers just keeps growing and I didn't want someone I introduced to get scammed and for me to get caught up...

    What's the most stupid thing you've been told?

    Once had a guy tell me that if you don't take coriolis effect into account you'll never be able to hit anything at 100 meters or farther. Fortunately this was at a big-box gun store, so I was able to just turn around and walk away.

    Garmin Tactix Delta With Applied Ballistics

    Holy crap, the price on that thing too. $900 for base model, $1100 for solar, $1400 if you want the AB package.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Rubber 12ga ammo

    To be fair, Navy also doesn't have to worry about the local DA deciding to destroy its life just so he can look good during re-election time. And it's not like the fish are gonna sue it either.

    Rifle Scopes SPUHR mount question....

    Doesn't look like they make one anymore, only in the 34mm diameter now. At least according to their website. So not likely.

    Rifle Scopes Precision rifle poors scope struggles.

    I bought a K624i not too long before the K525 dropped. Personally I think it's a great scope, but as with all things I'm always looking for what's newer and better. And coincidentally I have another rifle that I was thinking of putting a ZCO 5-27 on. But then everything went to hell in a...

    MRAD or... Ballista or....

    I don't think it's overpriced for what it is. I did say it's overpriced if you're just looking for a rifle in 338LM. As in, you could probably pick up a factory 338LM rifle in a traditional style (no multi-caliber quick-change capability) complete with high-end optic for what I paid for my...

    MRAD or... Ballista or....

    Also chiming in from the Ballista crowd. Let's see...I got mine right around the end of 2016. For people keeping score on price, I paid $5545 for mine. I've got a little less than 50 rounds through mine. I think it's an amazing rifle. Having said that, it's also the first rifle I'd sell if...

    Nice deals on Pelican cases

    Really sucks that I missed out on it because I've literally been looking at different case/bag combos the last couple days and that 3300 case/bag combo is a better deal than everything else I've seen by far.

    Sig Kilo3000BDX and Kestrel

    Granted, they could probably be a little clearer about how they phrase it, but all the written material I've come across about the AB external link only mentions it working in conjunction with AB Elite products. Usually when I see someone say something like "X will work with Y with Z feature" I...

    Sig Kilo3000BDX and Kestrel

    Has to be an AB Kestrel. From the owner's manual for the 3000BDX: "BDX also works with external devices such as the Kestrel 5700 and Garmin Foretrex with AB Elite on board." I don't know where the thread is but I've seen it mentioned before on here. Basically the issue is that while your...
