    Advanced Marksmanship Team Training Video - Shooting prone, F-Class. 3 cameramen!

    We do not use Mils in F-Class. Almost everyone (in USA) uses MOA reticles in F-Class. The coach may put some "wind" on the scope to start depending on the wind speed and direction. I believe the coach had put 1/2 MOA right on my gun to begin with and then we were holding off as you saw in...

    Advanced Marksmanship Team Training Video - Shooting prone, F-Class. 3 cameramen!

    For those of you interested in trying F-Class or learning about the sport and target size etc. here is a really good video on Team shooting showing two US Team members coaching and shooting. Worth a look-see. If you want to skip the intro, the shooting starts around the 4:50 mark. The whole...

    F T/R Competition Video on F-Class Team Shooting.

    This video is about team shooting. In team shooting the coach makes the wind calls - that's his job, and is allowed/prefered. Generally, the coach is a person who is a good wind reader. The shooter simply has to follow his directions and shoot where asked. In individual shooting coaching is...

    Gunsmithing New Lathe

    Anyone interested in a 15 x 50 lathe in great condition? This one came out my CNC lab downstairs and was used gently for a few years, a few hours a week for prototyping only. Excellent condition and has a Fagor DRO on it that has less than 5 hours of use on it before we switched out lathes...

    Gunsmithing New Lathe

    FYI - when lathes are new, the levers to engage the half nuts are usually tight, so that slows your response down a bit. For those guys wishing to run threading at high speeds, you need a well maintained machine and good concentration. A phone ring or a dog bark or someone calling you can...

    Gunsmithing New Lathe

    Thank you GR for your comments. My businesses, specially Grizzly, are like my babies and someone makes unfair comments about them - I respond like an upset parent. If there is truth to stuff, we try and fix it because we do not like bad reputation. By the way, I have lived here in Bellingham...

    Gunsmithing New Lathe

    For those that want one of these G0509Gs and cannot afford the full price, I will have one coming up soon that was returned by a customer with very little use. A shear pin was sheared off and he returned it saying it does not work. We sent him another one. However, it got a little scratched &...

    Gunsmithing Im thinking i want the big Grizzly Gunsmithing Lathe

    On my G0509G that is several years old, the tool post that came with it has the dovetail in the holder that measures approximately 2 1/8" + on the bigger part of the dovetail and just under 1 3/4" on the smaller part of the dovetail. Like Mike said, it could be possible that more than one size...

    Gunsmithing New Lathe

    That's what's dangerous about passing on information you heard from other people. It is easy to say "so and so said this" and repeat it on the internet as the "truth" without any personal knowledge about what goes on in the industry. You are actually wrong on almost all counts of what your...

    Gunsmithing Im thinking i want the big Grizzly Gunsmithing Lathe

    Been working on it for a couple of years. I spent several days at the factory last month working on the new South Bend Heavy 10 prototype. If all goes well we should see something beginning of next year. The new Heavy 10 is not a copy of the old one and is much more modern. All gear-head...

    F T/R Competition New Nifgtforce Competition Scope

    Re: New Nifgtforce Competition Scope I think NF has hit a home run with this new scope! It is perfect for all F-Class (not just F-T/R), as well as Benchrest shooters. No need for Zero Stop and illumination. I am certain that they did extensive testing before finalizing it, instead of trying...

    F T/R Competition Call me dumb but...

    Re: Call me dumb but... Not to overdose a new comer, if someone is planning to shoot at the World Championship in 2013, it will be held under the ICFRA rules which limits the open caliber to 8mm, which would eliminate the .338s. I have only seen someone brave that without a brake once at a...

    Re: Mill purchase question/advice Lucky - I am biased, but some factual info: We sell a lot of those mills and they are <span style="font-weight: bold">very good </span>for the money, and a huge upgrade from what you are currently using. I use the same dividing head on my mill at home and...
