    Vault racks

    After building my underground vault I placed a series of wall racks for several of the rifles in the collection. I left 18" under the shelf to allow storage of other items. The shelf is made of 1x10 by 8 foot long. Each shelf is supported underneath by 2x2's with concrete anchors. The barrels...

    Kowa Spotting scope

    Having run a photography business, I can attest to KOWA optics as being some of the best I have ever owned. All have had very low aspheric aberration and outstanding light transmission, even in low light situations. Of the Japanese polished lenses, they are the best hands down.

    Rifle Scopes I have a unique problem for you experts.....

    I got a nice long phone call from Chuck at Leupold Optics about my problem. They make a scope specifically designed for .50 BMG and rifles with "too efficient" muzzle brakes. Most scopes cannot take a forward motion jolt. Think Air Rifles, as they cannot use a "normal" rifle scope either due to...

    Rifle Scopes I have a unique problem for you experts.....

    This is what I have sent to various makers and have not got an answer worth a darn..... "I have a unique need for a rifle scope of 24x for long range shooting that will take abnormal recoiling forces. The problem is the rifle has a very sharp push/pull force at the time of firing due to a very...

    Mile Club

    Very nice shooting at the "Metric Mile" (1,609 meters=1,760 yards). A Mile-Club just started here last summer in which I'm going to give it a go as soon as our windy season passes. They shoot at steel from sides of old washing machines that have a porcelain like paint on it. This paint shatters...

    .308 to 1000, 1178, 1385, 1650 and 1950 meters.

    Outstanding post. Using water and a long flight time to see your fall of shot is about as perfect as it can be. Have you determined at what distance the bullet has gone subsonic? Was there a sudden increase in flight time? Thank for your post.

    Which Caliber would you step up to?

    I just finished building a 8MM Remington Magnum. with the new 200 grain bullets from Sierra, Nosler and Hornandy sitting over the new powders from St. Marks, 100V, Superformance and 780, the results I'm getting are very promising. Just another idea to throw out.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns AR 500 3/8 steel stop 9mm FMJ

    My club uses several tons of AR500 at our range from 10 to 1,000 yards. I hang the steel from the BACK of the plate using Road-Alligators or used conveyor belt. The behind the plate mounting causes the plate to hang at a downward angle that deflects the bullet into the ground. All rocks at the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Got bit by 1911 bug.

    I carried the 1911 all through my Navy carrier, and as my go-to CCW pistol since 1989. The only change I have every done to "John's" design is to equip the hammer and safety with the " Safety-Fast" upgrade. It would be very hard to describe just how this works,so check this out...

    Rifle Scopes I want your input on a scope....

    Re: I want your input on a scope.... Cool beans! I kinda thought that may be what was going on. I did find a Vector scope for sale too cheap to be real. What it turned out to be is that it is a Vector scope with a damaged reticule. ( artifact on etched glass) I gave the guy 200 bucks for it...

    Favorite rifle, caliber, for ELR shooting?

    Re: Favorite rifle, caliber, for ELR shooting? I picked up a Vortex scope and tried my loads for grouping at 200 meters. If the loads perform at this close distance, they should hold true at much further range as long as the stay super-sonic. I fired the round over a Chronie and was getting...

    LH shooting RH bolt or LR308 in Tac Competition

    Re: LH shooting RH bolt or LR308 in Tac Competition I've been shooting left handed for 50 years. You get really good reaching over the cycle the bolt, or using the "weak" hand and work the bolt.

    Re: I want your input on a scope.... Thank you for your replies. I read a post that Bushnell is the maker for some of the other "better" scopes as well. Is this true?

    Range Report Fastest barrel

    Re: Fastest barrel I just finished a seven month build of my new long range rifle. What I wanted was a very good burn of the slowest powder I would use that would give me the longest possible burn area for as much useable gas pressure. I ran combustion test a varied bullet weights and...

    Range Report shooting in canyon winds

    Re: shooting in canyon winds In New Mexico, these Canyon winds ( really cooler air draining off of the mountains ) never stops. We follow how the mirage reacts. When we see the same conditions in the mirage,we fire. It seems to help.

    What am I not doing? (brass prep)

    Re: What am I not doing? (brass prep) Leave the spent primer in the fired casings and fill each with water. Weigh each water "charge" ( dump the water out on each case the same way) This will check the cases for the same volume capacity. Your cases may be the same lot number, BUT,they are...
