    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Elite Tactical scope quality?

    Re: Bushnell Elite Tactical scope quality? I have one. Not sure if it is the old or the new. Works pretty well. Illumination is too bright, and not even, but no biggie. It seems to require extreme attention to eye position to even see anything but black in the scope. Once lined up it...

    Best rimfire barrel maker?

    Re: Best rimfire barrel maker? I don't know about rimfire, but my Lilja .308 barrel shoots as well as I could expect. There may be a reason they cost so much? BN

    Advanced Marksmanship Head/ scope cover to fight glare?

    Re: Head/ scope cover to fight glare? Wide-brimmed boonie works for me. I have the same problem at a place I shoot in evenings. Nate

    Advanced Marksmanship cheekweld

    Re: cheekweld This is a basic idea, and covered elsewhere, but proper cheek weld is just starting to sink in for me. I have found most recenly my shooting improves when I get a good sight picture...ugh...dugh. What I mean is that in the past I would go ahead and shoot, even if my reticle...

    Photos First Build...with help of a retired SEAL at Crane

    Re: New Build Photos It's not a Manners, or McMillan or AI but it shoots plenty well for me. I am sure comfort may be better with the others, but after my custom cheekpiece grinding mod, the B&C fits me like a glove. The cheekpiece was way too flat and fat on top. To shoot that well with...

    Advanced Marksmanship Wind

    Re: Wind Looks like stuff from Litz's book? He made a good point in the book about wind ... it all depends. He said, paraphrased, of course: Wind near muzzle affects bullet early, which then continues to magnify roughly linearly out to 1000+? High-hight winds, such as wind out over a...

    Re: New for the Remington 700 - the Bolt Lift As a mechanical engineer, I can only drool and wonder why I didn't think of that. Nate

    Photos Shooting Groups

    Re: Shooting Groups I am certainly out of my realm, but unless a perpetrator waits for him to finish the shot before returning fire it looks to me like he is atop the vehicle, not behind it. I suppose he could get behind it quickly. At least his legs are behind it?

    Re: Shooting Groups What about practicing shooting through the crack of the open door, between the open door and the front windshield pillar? I thought that was a desired position for police, doesn't seem that stable, though. Nate

    Advanced Marksmanship Rapid Fire and Breathing

    Re: Rapid Fire and Breathing I think I read something in a Marine field manual MCRP 3-1A about rapid fire shooting and how one should stop breathing for a split second as the trigger is squeezed. The CRESST REPORT 783 Gregory K. W. K. Chung Sam O. Nagashima Girlie C. Delacruz John J. Lee...

    Re: A new drawing Very nice artwork. Wouldn't that be a foolish position to take a shot from? Seems it would silouhette one's shape to me. Wouldn't a knot sticking up above a long flat horizontal line be attractive to the enemy eye? Nate

    Advanced Marksmanship The effect of free recoil on POI

    Re: The effect of free recoil on POI My semi-educated opinion: Bullets are small relative to the rifle mass, but it takes a lot of force to accelerate a bullet from rest to a muzzle velocity of roughly 3000 fps. This bullet acceleration force is exerted on the rifle/shooter combination...
