    Range Report Looking for suggestions please

    Re: Looking for suggestions please 155 grain Scenars are a good substitute. I will say that the 308 gets beat up by the wind pretty bad no matter what your using. But if I was going to pick one round to shoot it would be the 175 smk. I don't know if you can get much better than that.

    Rifle Scopes Sight for a m16

    Re: Sight for a m16 Well I can tell you that if your looking for an optic like an EotecH I would buy an aimpoint hands down. I use an EotecH for my current job and they are a nice optic but they do fail from time to time. The springs in the battery box get weak from the recoil of the round...

    Fieldcraft FDE Cerakote surprise

    Re: FDE Cerakote surprise I would say it got burnt in the oven. This has happened to me before. It could have been to close to the heating element or left in to long or two high of a temp. I do think it looks good the color it turned out.

    is a .22 ethical for small coyotes?

    Re: is a .22 ethical for small coyotes? Absolutely, the 22lr is an extremely lethal round. If you hit the computer the pump or the connecting lines the animal is gonna go down and go down fast. As long as you can hit what your shooting at your good to go.

    6.5 Creedmoor- Here to stay?

    Re: 6.5 Creedmoor- Here to stay? I don't see why not. I am extremely impressed with this round. It is my favorite round to shoot. It has minimal recoil, very efficient, and is extremely affordable to reload. I also prefer this round to the 260. Hornady did it right when they developed it.

    Hunting & Fishing Woodchuck Hunting

    Re: Woodchuck Hunting The cartridge in my opinion is extremely impressive. I've pretty much been a dedicated 308 shooter my whole life. When I switched over to the Creedmoor I couldn't believe the improvement in 1st round hits at long range targets. It really strengthened my opinion about...

    Hunting & Fishing Custom Rifle Builders

    Re: Custom Rifle Builders I have to say Mark at Short Action Customs is the only smith I go with. The man is an artist when it comes to his machining abilities. Here is a picture of the latest rifle he has built for me. It is a surgical instrument in every way.

    Re: Where should I position bolt-action rifle stoc No matter what position I'm shooting from I try and keep the butt of the rifle as close to the center of my body as possible. Now this isn't necessarily the most comfortable way to shoot but I believe it is fundamentally the best. I shoot...

    Fieldcraft What distance is your zero?

    Re: What distance is your zero? 100 yd zero for me. It cuts down on the environmental factors, especially wind. I'll then confirm my comeups from there. You can always set your dope up for maximum point blank range after you get a good solid zero.
