    Guy claiming "Sniper school" at Benning in 1980?

    As a lowly mech grunt in the late 80s I was given a chance to go thru the post level sniper program at Hood with the ACR guys. I distinctly remember the instructors talking about the "new sniper school" at Benning opening up the next year (1987), and I have found references online to the sniper...

    Savage 10FP: Is this a 0.5 MOA rifle (with Pics)?

    Re: Savage 10FP: Is this a 0.5 MOA rifle (with Pics)? About loading for the FP/FCP ... I found my max load with IMR 4895 by accident. At about 44+ grains of 4895 I started tasting powder and the bolt gets heavy when jacking the case out. The last Georgia Arms match ammo I bought actually...

    Savage 10FP: Is this a 0.5 MOA rifle (with Pics)?

    Re: Savage 10FP: Is this a 0.5 MOA rifle (with Pics)? I have read of bone stock sub .5 MOA FCPs in various places. But mine isn't one of them. It shoots sub MOA with almost any ammo and will print .75 MOA with handloads all the way to 600 yards every time out. I have had one or two...

    DNZ Ring Questions

    Re: DNZ Ring Questions Myself and most of my friends who hunt use them exclusively on hunting rigs. If I built another long range tactical stick I'd definitely use the DNZs for it. No one I know has ever had any issues at all with them. Very solid. Very nice local guys too. I like...

    135 SMKs and semi-autos revisited, w/questions ...

    Re: 135 SMKs and semi-autos revisited, w/questions ... The Ruski seems to like lighter bullets and slower velocities, and I assume this is due to the inherent instability of the stamped receiver and barrel. Both flex more than an AR platform. Then there is the rail attachment of the scope...

    135 SMKs and semi-autos revisited, w/questions ...

    Re: 135 SMKs and semi-autos revisited, w/questions ... Thanks for the info. 2700 would be plenty hot for what I use this rifle for. I just need it flying true for 500 yards. I use the FCP for anything past that. Ordered some of the 135s and will give em a shot.

    135 SMKs and semi-autos revisited, w/questions ...

    I'm still trying to my semi auto to shoot ten round strings into 1.5 MOA consistently, out to 500 yards max. I've gotten very close with 150gr SMKs over 41.5gr 4895. Not quite there yet. Anyone using 135gr SMKs in a semi or a bolt gun? What is the max range you shoot them? How are they...

    Affect of speed on accuracy for .308?

    Re: Affect of speed on accuracy for .308? I found my old thread while searching for info on the 135 SMKs I never tried. For the record I never got to 500 yards with the 155 Amaxes, only 400, and they did stay right around 2 MOA for ten for a string or two. But I never duplicated that again...

    Aervoe Olive Drab 987A compared to Krylon Camo OD?

    Re: Aervoe Olive Drab 987A compared to Krylon Camo OD? I got the Aervoe 987A OD in today and it's a close match for that chameleon Glock OD. It can look green or brown depending on the light. Just a hair darker. I hear good things about the Aervoe, too. Well, it actually dried a bit...

    Aervoe Olive Drab 987A compared to Krylon Camo OD?

    Anyone sprayed both Aervoe Olive Drab 987A and Krylon Camo OD? Trying to find out if Aervoe OD 987A is lighter or darker, more green or more brownish, than Krylon Flat Camo Olive Drab?

    How much does a Used accustock go for?

    Re: How much does a Used accustock go for? Worth about $10 painted. You'd have to pay for shipping though. Seriously though, there'd be a very few taker for one. Maybe someone who wanted to try out an idea on one. Most people want to use them as is or ditch them for something they...

    Magtech causing bolt to stick in Savage

    Re: Magtech causing bolt to stick in Savage I had the same issue with my FCP-K when shooting Georgia Arms Match ammo. It shot everything from handloads to steel cased Brown Bear but GA match stuck so tight I had to whack it with a rubber mallet. I also got a spray of powder in the face. So...

    Upgrading from my beginner rig

    Re: Upgrading from my beginner rig I always thought I'd spend money on a custom build once I got halfway decent with the bolt gun. But I've figured out all I really need to do is upgrade my FCP-K. Saving money while ensuring my rifle grows along with me. I vote keep the action and just...

    Anyone from Stokes Co NC? Planning private range .

    ... maybe. We're looking at a few remote plots from 30 to 45 acres, with two in Stokes County NC. One looks like it could easily support a pistol/CQB pit and a narrow lane for steel out to 500 yards, and still leave plenty of room for horses and for hunting undisturbed. The other is shaped...

    Re: JUNE 25TH NC DESIGNATED MARKSMAN MATCH Woody ... found out I have my PALS course that weekend. But I need to get practiced up again anyway, since I haven't had time to shoot the last few months. Will be there for the next one after, though.
