    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...

    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...

    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...

    Re: .308 barrel twist rate I have a Bartlein 1-11 barrel and it shoots 168's and 175's ridiculously well.

    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...

    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.

    Periscope

    Re: Periscope Good find! The Mil-Spec models are priced pretty steep.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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!

    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...

    Re: Hog saddle shooting rest There are other good brands out there but those Italians sure make a great tripod.

    Hog saddle shooting rest

    Re: Hog saddle shooting rest I'm still crunching numbers after reviewing how the first run of knobs went. Should have a good idea this week. What I can tell you is that the upgraded aluminum knob will be sold as a drop in ready assembly. So the new knob will already have a stainless steel...

    Hog saddle shooting rest

    Re: Hog saddle shooting rest The Colonel, I'm sure I can fab something up that you guys can try out. Just PM me or give me a call and we can talk. I will definitely make an announcement on the Hide when the aluminum knobs are available to the public. In the next few weeks I will have a...

    Hog saddle shooting rest

    Re: Hog saddle shooting rest Bump for the 100th post. I just finished my first run of the upgraded aluminum knobs and they turned out pretty good looking. I'm currently retrofitting a bunch of units already in military circulation. The new knob should be available for purchase in a month...

    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...
