    7mm wsm saum 284 winchester HELP!

    I picked the .284 for my new LR rifle, because of other people that I shoot with getting better than 4000 rounds out of the barrels. I know everyone is so keen on what speed, but I go by what it is doing. I have a 27", 5R, 1-8 Krieger Light Varmint barrel and use 51.0 grains of RE17, 180 gr SMK...

    Advanced Marksmanship Me or the barrel?

    Before I would change the barrel, I would give it a good cleaning. Clean it good with a bore cleaner, then use a copper cleaner, like Barnes, then use JB bore paste. When you are done with that, clean it again with bore cleaner, dry it out and before you start your group, fire a fouling shot. A...

    F T/R Competition Alaska Rifle Club 2013 Mid-Range Matches

    The May 11 match went well. The F-Class was won by a score of 598-28X and the Prone (sling shooters) was won with a 596-28X. Would be nice to see more shooters come out, as the weather is nice and the snow is all gone.

    1903-A4 Build Questions

    Numrich Gun Parts has surplus new surplus bent bolts, both stripped or complete. There is a difference in the 03 and 03A3 C stocks. The 03A3 is what you want. It has the cuts for the A3 hand guard where the 03 has the cuts for the 03 rear sight. They are more expensive, but you can get new...

    Which Karsten cheek piece?

    I have 1 A model and 2 B models. I like the B better and one reason is you have to lower or take the cheek piece off to clean the bolt rifle, unless you take the action out of the stock. The A model that I got came on a used HS Precision stock, and it was a pain to get it set the same again, so...

    Distance for 175 vs 168

    If you work in the pits at 800, 900 and 1000 yard matches, you will see the holes from the 168's elongating on all of them by 1000 yards. Most of them are round at 800, with most of the .308's going off by 900 and by 1000, even the 06's are tipped and when they do that the groups open way up...

    Vintage sniper match photos

    The Alaska Rifle Club has a vintage sniper rifle match coming up on 6/8. We are going to run a practice match in the morning and the real match in the afternoon, at Ft Richardson, by Anchorage. Last year I talked with the CMP and they made a clarification, that at local matches the rifles do not...

    My 40X "trainer"

    I got 2 of these from the CMP, when they had them. One was a standard barrel, like yours and one was a heavy barrel. The standard one was for my wife, but she didn't ever shoot it, so I sold it the year before last, and got a 40X Single Shot and built a new long range rifle. Still have the Heavy...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    Just a few comments. Those kind of swivels will pull apart if you sling up real tight and shoot. Most of the milspec ones now have that wire loop solid to prevent that. I have carried spare ammo for .308/06 for years in 5 round stripper clips. They don't rattle or take up much room and come out...

    What other benefit is there? When you are doing anything but ranging?

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 10x

    The rear focus gives you easier to focus adjusting, because of the dial being bigger in diameter. It is just as easy to use as the side one. The front parallax adjustment, that many scopes use, gives you the best adjustments in a scope, but are the hardest to use, without getting out of...

    Rifle Scopes Could someone explain to me what the focal plane (First and Second)?

    The Front Focal Plane is the new Tactical thing. Back in the early days, all of the variable scope had that and nobody used them. Then they went to the second focal plane and we started going to them. When the FFP came out a few years ago, I got one, not realizing that they were the same as the...

    Vietnam M70 thread

    I have one like that, but with a heavy Douglas barrel, from about 82. I had it rechambered to 06 and bought the new magazine, follower and spring from Winchester and modified the bolt stop myself, to match another Model 70 hunting rifle, in 06 that I have. It's all bedded and shoots pretty good...

    Vietnam M70 thread

    There are various reports of some Mod 70's be bought at the PX's on some bases in 66, in just hunting configuration and being taken back and the armorers bedding and scoping them and they would have had to be post 64's. Most grunt's would not have any idea of the differences.

    A question for all you manly men target shooting an M40

    If you shoot with a sling, a tight sling, the recoil will not beat you up at all. The recoil just pushes you. We learned that in Army Infantry basic, with the M1 rifles in 59 and you can shoot all day like that.
