    Hunting Rig in Process

    Re: Hunting Rig in Process Great choice - I have hunted deer for 15 years with a Rem 700 in 7mm-08 with a short, thin barrel. It'll do the job.

    Service rifle competition suggestions

    Re: Service rifle competition suggestions I wanted to get into shooting service rifle. I bought a White Oak Precision NM upper with a Krieger barrel and the pinned 1/4 MOA adjustment rear sight. I built a lower for it. It's a hell of a rifle.

    Rifle Scopes Aimpoint vs. Eotech

    Re: Aimpoint vs. Eotech I've played with a bunch, settled on the aimpoint t-1 and I wouldn't take anything else currently on the market over it. Small size, light weight, durability, reliability, battery life, waterproofness, NV compatibility, it pretty much has it all.

    Rifle Scopes Newbie question on fixed parallax vs. adjustable

    Re: Newbie question on fixed parallax vs. adjustable If it has a parallax/focus knob it is best to actually use it. If you're going to set it to one value and not change it when you change ranges... If what you're looking at is in focus, then it's in focus. If the reticle moves compared...

    Feel really stupid for this.. But..

    Re: Feel really stupid for this.. But.. MOA is MOA regardless of distance. If 1 click = 1/4 MOA then 4 clicks = 1 MOA. Multiply your MOA drop by 4 to get clicks.

    Rifle Scopes Newbie question on fixed parallax vs. adjustable

    Re: Newbie question on fixed parallax vs. adjustable Depth of field=ranges at which things are in focus. A fixed parallax scope will typically have a depth of field that extends out to infinity. The lower you turn the power, the greater the depth of field (closer you can aim and see the...

    Advanced Marksmanship MOA adjust

    Re: MOA adjust Accounting for sources of error won't hurt anything, and in some circumstances may help. Insulting everyone who points out the error doesn't make it go away or help your credibility.

    Re: chrome lined barrel .223 If you want ANYTHING useful, you will need to post exactly what barrel you have and what kind of "standard" barrel you are comparing it to.

    Rifle Scopes New guy here with question about magnification

    Re: New guy here with question about magnification The Weaver T24 and T36 are very popular amongst smallbore and high power silhouette shooters as well as benchrest shooters at the ranges where I shoot. The problem with a 24x or 36x fixed scope is that it is pretty useless for anything other...

    Rifle Scopes Super Sniper 1-4 scopes up for sale on SWFA

    Re: Super Sniper 1-4 scopes up for sale on SWFA I also ordered one. They wouldn't give me a hard ETA but told me they estimated they would be shipping scopes between the end of January and end of February. They also told me it just depended on how long the scopes were in customs.

    Advanced Marksmanship R.O. teaches to align bore with spine-question

    Re: R.O. teaches to align bore with spine-question Sounds good. I guess I'll practice more "improvised rest" shooting. Thank you for taking the time to respond, I appreciate it. I have done a ton of smallbore and a fair amount of short-range rifle shooting as well as a fair amount of...

    Advanced Marksmanship R.O. teaches to align bore with spine-question

    Re: R.O. teaches to align bore with spine-question Fair enough, thanks. I am a paid member of the online training section of the site and there is definitely a lot of good stuff there. I have an Atlas bipod and it's great on my AR-15. I'm restocking a Sako Quad with a stock that'll have a...

    Advanced Marksmanship R.O. teaches to align bore with spine-question

    Re: R.O. teaches to align bore with spine-question A kind-of related question - my experience has been that when shooting unsupported or slung-up prone angling away from the strong side is very helpful to finding a stable shooting position. What do the more experienced shooters say? Do you...

    Rifle Scopes Question on Scope Elevation Adjustiability

    Re: Question on Scope Elevation Adjustiability I bet you just didn't get the height on the boresighter set quite right. A small error will totally screw your boresight process.

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell 4200 6-24 x 50 FFP mildot mil knobs

    Re: Bushnell 4200 6-24 x 50 FFP mildot mil knobs I have one on my Sako Quad 22 and for the money I think it is a very nice scope. I wish it had a zero stop but on my 22 it isn't a big deal. It is clear repeatable and tracks well. The eye box is small above about 16-20x but it is still very...

    Defiance Machine action questions

    Re: Defiance Machine action questions Thanks everybody. I guess I'll just wait - I can't remember now, I think the answering machine message said they're back on the 27th or so. I'm just impatient. I wasn't thinking about the side bolt stop being different but that's easy enough to...

    Defiance Machine action questions

    Hello! I called Defiance today to order a receiver and found out they're gone for a week and a half for SHOT and family visits. I'm trying to order a stock and rings and bases and I was hoping to get some information from the Hide on the actions. Does their standard short action receiver...
