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

    Lash--I ordered 168 and it has already shipped. The wait must be for the 175. If these shoot well in my gun, I'm ordering a 1000 rounds ASAP. I don't shoot farther than 500 meters, so the 168 are fine for me. Joe

    Range Report First time at 300yds

    Excellent! Wind is driving me crazy at 550 yards, but I'm learning too. Joe

    Range Report POI shift before/after mounting a muzzlebrake ?

    About all I can offer is that the zero will change with and without the brake. Accuracy did not change on my Savage 10 FCP-K but the zero did. I like the brake but have learned to shoot without it so that I can enter an F-class match some day. Joe

    Shooting with both eyes open?

    With my Savage, when I had that problem, it was a parallax adjustment issue with a new scope--operator error. I also quit cleaning the bore, so cold bore shots are dead on with the followup shots. I shoot both eyes open, keep the left eye on the level to the left of the scope for cant...

    Training results at 500 m on paper--Thanks SH!

    Got out again briefly Monday afternoon and was able to get in 10 rounds, rather hurriedly. This was an interesting day weather-wise. Mid-80's temperature and gusty winds 5-15 mph at 40 degrees to target. I actually got to see what mirage was, for me, the first time. With the mirage and...

    Any reviews of TiborasaurusRex's YouTube Vids?

    The only suggestion I would make to TiRex is to reduce the intro time some on his videos. One (of many) things that the RO videos have is very concise/quick intros, with no wasted time. You notice the (at least to me) lost time in the TiRex videos when you watch several in succession. Not a...

    Neck pain when shooting prone?

    Lots of good advice above. I'll add my own, short experience. First, I use a 9-13" Harris bipod and have not yet needed to go lower. I also have scope rings that are a little tall so I had to add a cheek pad. I had a lot of difficulty with neck pain and actually vision after a few minutes...

    Anybody still use old school techniques?

    I'm so new to shooting a bolt gun (Thanksgiving 2012), that "old school" means nothing to me. I am an engineer, so I love all the gadgets and calculations anyway. Heck, I'm even building a target-cam to use at a measly 500 meters. I'm just lucky to be able to buy a relatively inexpensive...

    Demolitionman--Thanks for the reply. I am a pistol shooter who is learning to shoot a bolt gun. I learned pretty much everything I know here on this site. Make every round count--this stuff is expensive! Joe

    Took the Tuesday/Wednesday gun out again on Wednesday and got to shoot at 300 yards in the wind. Ten rounds of FGMM 168 box ammo through the Savage 10 FCP-K at 300 yards. Wind was 6-15 mph at 1-2 o'clock so I got some practice at 300. First shot, too much wind correction (5 rounds group...

    Rifle Scopes Side by Side look at the Bushnell ERS 3.5-21x50mm Black and FDE

    You might want to change the web site description to 0.1mil clicks, 10 mils/rev. Right now is shows 1mil clicks. I have the original 3.5-21x50 DMR with the G2DMR reticle and am very, very happy with it. The later version should be super. Joe

    Yep, definitely a Tuesday or Wednesday gun! Thanks Joe

    Training results at 500 m on paper--Thanks SH!

    Another good session at the range today. Warmed up with 10 rounds at 100 yds. Thought some more about the fundamentals, and turned to the 300 yard target, shot the first 5 rounds on the top left diamond, looked good, thought more about loading the bipod consistently, then shot the second five...

    Thanks, den42. I learned everything I know about shooting a bolt gun from this forum and two training CDs. For a pistol shooter, I'm learning. Joe

    Yes, I've shot Fusion 180 and it is OK but doesn't group as well as the Rem 168 or Fed GMMK 168. An update. Last week I received a 200 round order of Federal Gold Medal Match with 168 gr Sierra Match King bullets. I took the muzzle brake off the gun and zeroed it at 100 yards, drove to...

    Range Report Is it me or the ammo/ rifle?

    Try again without the brake at distance. Just a thought. Also, on my similar scope, parallax adjustment is critical. I start at infinity and turn towards shooting distance. If I overshoot, I start over. I have seen my own 500m groups shrink from 12" to 3" just with a correct parallax...

    Rifle Scopes Lot of Bushnell 3.5-21 G2DMR for sale suddenly

    Re: Lot of Bushnell 3.5-21 G2DMR for sale suddenly I've got a 2012 version that I am very happy with, so its a win/win--good prices/deals on the earlier models and some excellent and welcome upgrades for 2013. Joe

    Rifle Scopes Proper procedure for adjusting side focus/parallax

    I have a problem getting the parallax right on my new Bushnell 3.5-21x50 DMR scope. (I don't think there is anything wrong with the scope, just with the way I'm adjusting it.) If I adjust the side focus from close to far and then take a few shots, the parallax seems to change slightly with...
