    .308 155 gr vs .308 175 gr at 1k yards

    I used to shoot the 175's. but I switched to Hornady's 178 bthp match bullets and run varget. Better bc and it's affordable. Right now they are kinda low on supply but I found one company that has them at a good price and in stock. I bought a bunch but they have more. I have then running out of...

    Help with 30mm scope mount for AR-15

    I would say that it depends on the qd product and how tight the levers are adjusted if they are adjustable. My PD has run qd on our patrol rifles for 8 years and never had an issue. But I set the guns up and everything was adjusted properly. I have a locking lever on my larue lt-111 and the...

    Help with 30mm scope mount for AR-15

    I use the Larue lt-111 mount and it has always returned to zero. If I need to switch something out in the field and I'm carrying all my gear I would rather not have to carry tools. The tools can get lost and ounces equal pounds, pounds equal pain. But to each his own

    Range Report Millling unkonw distance targets

    Are you working by yourself or do you have a spotter? If you're by yourself and need to shoot within 45 seconds thats kinda pushing it, but it depends on the distance.

    Help with 30mm scope mount for AR-15

    I'm in no way trying to make this a pissing contest, just want to be clear. But it really depends on the end use for the weapon system. For example in the law enforcement and military world we will switch out day optic for night optics. This is just one example, there are more such as optics...

    Help with 30mm scope mount for AR-15

    It depends on the application, but to say they are useless is pretty bold. There are many applications where the qd is a great feature.

    Help with 30mm scope mount for AR-15

    As for QD, unless you plan to hot swap optics in the field, it is useless. With the same torque settings and a quality one piece mount, I have had perfect zeros on the mounts I use while not being able to replicate that consistently on QD set-ups, including LaRue. I can change an optic at the...

    Rifle Scopes Is a $$ scope worth the money?

    An accurate rifle system consists of five main parts. 1 the shooter, 2 the rifle barreled action, 3 the rifle stock, 4 the scope & scope base and five the scope. Any or all of these affect accuracy so when you try to go cheap, that's what you get. There are also other devices that make a...

    Do people actually use their slings when shooting precision rifle?

    I was at a comp and met a Marine Sniper Instructor. He had and I now have an Ares Armor sniper Husky sling. I love it. New thinking to a needed piece of kit that has not been given very much thought or updating.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell HDMR 3.5-21 on magnums ?

    The quality with Leupold has gone down in most recent years. I will say there customer service was top notch, but it should not have failed. As far as the HDMR failing in the previous story, all I can say is that's the first I've heard of one failing. All these items are man made and subject to...

    shot prone for the first time today...dude.........WTF

    It sounds like an issue with the can as it should not move or wiggle. I put a witness mark on mine so when it's on I know its in the right spot. All the way tight, then backed off one notch. Getting your body straight behind the gun will help you out a lot with recoil management and accuracy...

    Take a look at the OCW method from Dan Newberry. I run varget and I've had very reliable performance in a range of weather and conditions.

    Range Report What the best user friendly ballistics app you guys are using?

    I use shooter and ballistics AE on my iphone 4s. They use the same formulas but there are some features I like in both. If I had to choose only one, I would go with shooter.

    shot prone for the first time today...dude.........WTF

    IMHO I would leave the suppressor on if thats what you are going to use. Getting straight behind the gun is a big factor also. My 5r and YHM can, shoots 3/8 @ 100 yd all day long. Dry fire drill will help you out. If you mount the gun, close your eyes and open them you should still be on...
