    Rifle Scopes Bushnell HDMR. Anything new on the horizon?

    Re: Bushnell HDMR. Anything new on the horizon? Maybe its just me, but the parallax adjustment if very very sensitive in the current DMR 3.5-21x50 scope. Other than that, I like it just fine. Joe

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

    Re: Training results at 500 m on paper--Thanks SH! Thanks, gentlemen. I was able to shoot the rifle some more this weekend. My biggest problem continues to be in adjusting the parallax properly. The rifle and the scope are excellent. I still have some difficulty getting the parallax...

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

    Re: Training results at 500 m on paper--Thanks SH! Thanks, gentlemen. I went out again today to check the windage and to just practice the fundamentals some more. This time it was nearly 20 degrees warmer than yesterday so I took 0.2 mil out of the elevation dial in and that was a mistake...

    Handgun Marksmanship

    Re: Handgun Marksmanship Think about pulling the trigger straight back to your nose without changing the grip hold at all. More grip tension in the left hand than the right will help you not change the tension in the right hand as you pull the trigger back with the index finger...to your...

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

    Re: Training results at 500 yards on paper--Thanks SH! I corrected my original post above except for the photo. Distance was 547 yards (500 meters) not 500 yards. Another newbie mistake. Ammo was box Remington Premier Match with the 168 SMK bullets. Apparently a good match for this...

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

    Finally got to shoot paper at 500 meters today...15F ambient, 6000 feet altitude, so I didn't stay out long, but had good results. I've spent some time over the holidays going through the video and the training forum, and I think it paid off. Now if I can just learn to turn the windage...

    Which Savage for long range shooting?

    Re: Which Savage for long range shooting? I bought a model 10 FCP-K at Thanksgiving for about the same usage myself. We have club matches out to 540 yards and several shops and friends suggested a Savage as being about the best value out of the box. I think they were right. Mine is a 1/2...

    Rifle Scopes mounting bases and scope

    Re: mounting bases and scope Headstrong--check one thing--there should have been 2 short screws and 2 long screws in the package with your rail. I put an EGW 20 MOA alum rail on my model 10 FCP-K Monday. The two short ones go in the front two holes and the two longer ones go in the rear two...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk6 vs Bushnell HDMR, I need some opinions

    Re: Leupold Mk6 vs Bushnell HDMR, I need some opinions I put a Bushnell 3.5-21x50 DMR with the G2DMR reticle on my Savage Model 10 bolt gun two weeks ago and am very happy with it, but I have never had anything to compare it to.

    Rifle Scopes nikon m223 2-8x32

    Re: nikon m223 2-8x32 The only reason I'm going to a longer scope is for 500 yard F class match that I may try with the 308. I'll probably get to shoot the 308 at 300 again this weekend, so I'll let you know how that works out. I also like the Spot-On app for my iPhone from Nikon. Joe

    Rifle Scopes nikon m223 2-8x32

    Re: nikon m223 2-8x32 I have one on an AR and like it a bunch. I also have a 1-4x M-223 so I am covered. The rings on the 2-8x are the Nikon single piece and they are rock solid. I have shot the 2-8x out to 300 yards with excellent results but that is about as far out as I have gotten. Last...

    Do I need a spotting scope?

    Re: Do I need a spotting scope? I can use an 8x scope just fine at 100 yards shooting .223 through light colored paper. At 200 yards, I use a Kowa scope and can just barely make out the holes with it, again on light colored paper. I can't see holes with the Kowa on dark targets. I use my...
