    Prone, and back pain

    All I can add is to get the sight down as low as you can and adjust the check pad until you are resting your cheek on the pad and not trying to hold your head up. I just got back from the range after changing the scope rings and I had much less problem today than usual. I also try to make sure...

    XLR Chassis Stock

    I've got a green folder for my Savage FCP-K coming. Ordered 3 weeks ago. Can't wait. No excuses after this, LOL. Gun shoots very well with the Accustock, but I'm a pistol shooter and can't stand the shape of a typical rifle stock. The XLR chassis should fix that. Thanks to everyone...

    Excellent! Looks like you will have a lot of fun at 600 and 1000 yds. Joe

    F T/R Competition hold off or twist turrets

    Dial elevation and hold for wind. If the wind is fairly steady, I've dialed for the average and then held for the variation, but that can bite me if the wind dies down and picks up. Come to think of it, wind bites me most of the time anyway. Joe

    Rifle Scopes A couple of ? regarding a Bushnell ERS 3.5-21x 50mm

    It should be the same as my DMR, which is clockwise lowers poi and clockwise moves poi left. It should come with some slip on covers with elastic cord connecting the two caps. Joe

    A few lessons today...

    I'm just a few months ahead of you. I think Proneshooter has given you some good advice. I had to learn to pull the gun in to my shoulder and then slightly load the tripod. Main help to me was getting comfortable behind the scope so I wasn't all tense just trying to see through the scope. I...

    Range Report Two Questions: Recommended 308 Ammo and Where to Buy?

    I just received my second order from Southwest Ammunition. Took a whole week this time. But it is good stuff. Less than 3" vertical at 500 yards for 10 rounds last weekend. I'm sticking with them for a while. Joe

    'Cuz I Know You Guys Love Noob Humor

    Yep, I bought sight rings that are too high, then built up a cheek pad, and have to take the cheek pad off the gun to clean from the breech. My pad is velcroed on...now. I also don't clean the gun very often. I have lower scope rings ordered, but may still have to remove the cheek pad to...

    Range Report Two Questions: Recommended 308 Ammo and Where to Buy?

    I shot some more of the Southwestern Ammunition 308 168 ammo today, this time at 530 yards in very gusty conditions. This was at my first F-Class practice session. Good results, 3" vertical with 4-1/2" horizontal with me not correcting properly for the wind. The 10 ring is 4". So far, very...

    God I Suck.

    When I first started shooting a bolt gun with a scope, the biggest problem I had was adjusting the parallax on the scope correctly. Groups shrunk as I learned to adjust the scope and become consistent behind the gun. I shot a lot of Fusion 180 and it worked well in my rifle. On my scope, I...

    Range Report A way to achieve sub MOA?

    I can guarantee you that there are plenty of barrels that will shoot sub 1" at 100 yards that never got cleaned once for the first 40 rounds. I have two. And I only have two rifles. Seems to me that most modern rifles will with good technique and ammo. Joe

    Range Report Two Questions: Recommended 308 Ammo and Where to Buy?

    Well, maybe at 300 I shot OK. At 200, I've done much better, so I almost didn't post the photo, but I decided that if you saw a side by side with known good box ammo it might be helpful. Just don't tell anyone I normally shoot 1 moa at 200 yards but 0.5 at 300, LOL. Joe

    Range Report Two Questions: Recommended 308 Ammo and Where to Buy?

    Terminal 206--Maybe this shot will help you decide whether to try the Southwest Ammunition ammo or not. I was in a hurry to get through the 200 yard rounds so I wasn't as careful here as I was at 300, but you can see all three ammo types on one target, knowing that I treated each equally, that...

    Just ordered 200 more rounds of 168 gr .308 from Southwest Ammunition. I bet I have it by Thursday. Joe

    Range Report Two Questions: Recommended 308 Ammo and Where to Buy?

    Terminal206--Just got back from the range. I shot 200 yards with the Southwest Ammunition 168 reloads, Federal Gold Medal Match 168, and Remington Premier Match 168. I cleaned the carbon out on Saturday so didn't know quite what to expect, so I shot 5 rounds of each at 200 yards first before...

    Range Report Two Questions: Recommended 308 Ammo and Where to Buy?

    Received my Southwest Ammunition order today, will shoot 10 rounds on Sunday, order more on Monday if results are good. I also got some Remington Premier Match 168 (from another suppler) that has shot well in this rifle previously. Will be fun comparing the reloads with the FGMM and Rem Prem...
