    Rifle Scopes Leupold TMR or Mil-Dot

    Re: Leupold TMR or Mil-Dot +1 for TMR ... much more precise for wind holds, holdovers, measuring and "milling" targets, etc. Pretty much everything you would need/want/expect to do with a scope reticle. I have both TMR and mildot and I much prefer my TMR.

    Range Report 155 or 175 ?

    Re: 155 or 175 ? +1. I've used the 175 SMK for several years now and I'm very happy with them. They're very reliable and accurate from as close as you can shoot all the way out to 1000yds (if you do your part, of course). And the increased barrel life as compared to the 155s is a plus in...

    20MOA Rail Vs. 30MOA Rail?

    Re: 20MOA Rail Vs. 30MOA Rail? A 100yd zero should be your absolute min with a 300 win mag ... you could easily push the zero out to 200 or even 300 yards with as flat as it shoots. The 20 MOA rail should be plenty ... but seriously consider setting your zero no less than 100. You'll be...

    An open letter to Match Directors and Competitors

    Re: An open letter to Match Directors and Competitors Whoops - my bad, Sobrbiker ... I made the correction :-) AZ TPRC and NCPPRC TBRC -- holy alphabet soup! There are a lot of great points here ... I always get a little frustrated when I see guys shooting in positions which were clearly not...

    Hunting & Fishing Splat factor?

    Re: Splat factor? I agree that "splat factor" is quite tough to measure ... way too many variables to factor in. But ... shooting prairie dogs with a 22-250 produces some serious "splat". Having said that, the loudest splat I ever heard was a groundhog shot with a hot .357 magnum out of a...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold or Nightforce?

    Re: Leupold or Nightforce? I purchased a new Leupold MkIV in 2005 and I've used the shit out of it at competitions and in the field ... I'm very pleased with it. I've shot thousands of rounds with ZERO issues ... 6 - 1000 yards, multiple shooting positions, inclement weather conditions...

    AZ TPRC 2011

    Re: AZ TPRC 2011 I'm pretty sure I broke a target shooting from the live tree last year ... two years runnin' on breakin' targets! Now if I could just shoot good enough to get one of them rifles off the prize table :-) <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted...

    Re: 2011 NorCal Tactical Bolt Rifle Challenge (TBRC) The GPS system is approved for civilian use, Chiller ... and it was a personally procured GPS. Smartass ... :-P

    Fieldcraft Where to buy Krylon Camo paint??

    Re: Where to buy Krylon Camo paint?? If you're a fan of OD you will NOT be disappointed w/the Krylon color of OD ... I've had to retouch mine about every 3-4 months due to wear (the paint rubs off after hard use) but it's really easy to paint it up. Great shade of OD ... give it a try you...

    RCBS Bullet Puller - can you save the bullet?

    Re: RCBS Bullet Puller - can you save the bullet? Good clarification madd0c ... I was still unsure on the thread's intent and I'm not familiar with the press mounted puller. I too was in the "kinetic pullers gererally hurt the bullets" camp. Just out of curiousity, targa, how much does this...

    How to get a squib round out of the barrel

    Re: How to get a squib round out of the barrel Good to know - thanks, LV shooter. I've seen plenty of squibs removed from pistol barrels but I think that's a whole different ball game than with rifle. Of course if you're up in North Dakota in the winter time you can just wait 30 seconds for...
