Tripod vs Bipod
Re: Tripod vs Bipod LW, here is what works for me and other guys I've worked with. Just like any style of shooting, consistency equals accuracy. That's the best tip I have. When shooting off of a tripod you are going to want to incorporate a sling. Unhook the sling from the buttstock and...- AMTeam4

Tripod vs Bipod
Re: Tripod vs Bipod Bipods and tripods are both great tools to keep around and the shooting environment will usually dictate which platform is appropriate. For stability, accuracy and concealment, the lower the better. The problem is that it is difficult to shoot over vegetation and through...- AMTeam4

Hog saddle shooting rest
Re: Hog saddle shooting rest That's a great example of how I would use the Hog Saddle for hunting. Post up on the outskirts of a clearing and set up your kill zone. You could sit like that all day, waiting for your prey to present itself. Tie vegetation to the tripod legs and you've got...- AMTeam4

Prvi Partizan match ammo
Re: Prvi Partizan match ammo I shoot the 69gr and 75gr .223 rounds with my AR. I wouldn't consider it a match round but it's a cheaper option for heavy .223 rounds. Supposedly Wolf Gold is made by Prvi also. Found it on sale and bought a few hundred rounds. Grouped like a shotgun blast at 50...- AMTeam4

PRS Tripod and krylon?
Re: PRS Tripod and krylon? Cut the foam off or wrap the foam sections in white athletic tape then paint. Painting directly on the foam won't look very good. Plus it will take a lot of coats to match the bare sections of the legs.- AMTeam4

Hog saddle shooting rest
Re: Hog saddle shooting rest Ideally you are going to want one leg forward in the direction of your target. When leaning into the tripod and rifle, more body weight will be able to be put into the tripod without the tripod tipping forward. Situation and environment always dictate. For a...- AMTeam4

Hog saddle shooting rest
Re: Hog saddle shooting rest icedragonmx- The 322RC2 Grip Action Head will handle the low temps. Just periodically toggle the head to keep it from freezing in place. Similar to any equipment with moving parts in those conditions. I've had this same head in cold weather, mountain environments...- AMTeam4

Hog saddle shooting rest
Re: Hog saddle shooting rest The flat top of the Hog Saddle works as a great support for binoculars too. It looks like a boot-band or small bungee cord could wrap around the two and add stability to the Leica. I'm not sure what all LRF models will clamp inside the Hog Saddle but I know my...- AMTeam4

McMillans newest tactical stock.....
Re: McMillans newest tactical stock..... The butstock kind of has a can-opener shape. How about naming it a P-38? For when one needs to open up a can of whoop ass... and spoon feed the pain. LOL!- AMTeam4

Bikini Covers vs. Lens caps
Re: Bikini Covers vs. Lens caps I've been unhappy with both. Lately I have been putting a baby sock over the objective lens. The one good thing about a lens cap is it shrouds the ocular adjustment/focus ring. If another shooter tweaks the focus you will know because the cap will be canted to...- AMTeam4

Sidearms & Scatterguns 870 rusts. How to permanently prevent?
Re: 870 rusts. How to permanently prevent? I have experienced great results with Ceracoat. I just started playing around with Eezox and am impressed so far. The Eezox dries to the firearm and does not stay wet if you wipe off the excess after application. Following a few camping trips the...- AMTeam4
