    Questions about applied ballistics app on android

    The Android AB app is spot on for me. Used a magneto speed shooting at 100 to get velocity on a new load then put the data in to AB. I used the AB data and took out a watermelon at 550 in one shot. The data was dead on at 750 as well. I used absolute pressure (station pressure) and temp...

    Want to Put My R700 On A Diet.... Any ideas?

    I just recently made the plunge and purchased an AI AT from Mile High (thanks to MHSA for everything) and will have her next week. So now I'm on a mission to turn my 700 into a lightweight rifle as the AI is fairly heavy . So far it's equipped as follows: 700 AAC-SD in B&C stock, SAS TOMB...

    Federal GM260M

    It's been on the website for some time now but I've still yet to see a box of it..... Has anyone actually seen this stuff?

    Curious about Silver State Armory .308 ammo

    I bought some from Cabelas at a good price and I will never be buying any SSA garbage ever again. The .308 I bought was absolutely horrible. The accuracy was very poor and it seemed very inconsistent. One shot would seem normal then the next seemed a little hot and I'd get sticky bolt lift...

    Rifle Scopes The more I think about it

    Phil, You had all of us confused and didn't really give us much info to go on if you were actually seeking advise. That post you quote about the 1/8 MOA turrets was pretty generalized as X scope is better than Y scope when we Y scope is better in a different application and X in a totally...

    Rifle Scopes New Steiner T5Xi Tactical Rifle Scopes

    Obviously you're still paying attention since you are still posting on this thread. So what makes you think January? I happened to get the opportunity to go see where these are made and I can tell you with for a fact that they are CURRENTLY in production as we speak . If an October release is...

    Rifle Scopes New Steiner T5Xi Tactical Rifle Scopes

    I don't think so... More options like that means increased costs and that is exactly what Steiner is trying to avoid.

    Rifle Scopes The more I think about it

    Still too much scope .... A Walmart Centerpoint might work better. No on second thought that's too low maybe a Counter Sniper with that super high speed reticle MOA targets can't be missed. Lol you totally baited me into this...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Optics Factory / The new T5Xi thread (-!!-Picture Heavy-!!-)

    I must say your post explains this debate perfectly.... There is a small difference and I definitely agree that it's not worth a couple thousands more. I even feel that my Bushnell is pretty darn good and didn't lose much by saving an extra $2,000 in my wallet. I still would never go out and...

    Rifle Scopes The more I think about it

    Glad RJ came and asked wtf a MOA target is so I didn't have to! lol Phil, Seriously, I'm really confused now... What kind of shooting are you planning on doing? Are you actually planning on f-class/bench rest shooting, practical/tactical or just all around recreational? Even with...

    Even the MX5I can be found for $3K so where did you get that $4K number from? The retail pricing for the T5Xi is supposed to be: 3-15x retail should be $1800. 5-25x retail should be $2000.

    Rifle Scopes Curent Production Nightforce F1 scopes

    I have to agree with Sandnsnow. They are well built durable scopes but definitely lack on glass quality compared to the top tier scopes. I have shot nightforce scopes directly next to S&B, US Optics and Steiner scopes. After moving from the Nightforce to those others I could definitely tell...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 9MM Wins - Thanks FBI

    Lmao those 1811's sure are scary out on the street so I don't know where the hell you get your ideas from. I went and arrested a bank robber with some of the task force members and an 18 year FBI veteran was quick to ask if they could cuff the suspect and was excited as can be when we said...

    Damn.... I don't know what you do for a living but damn hook a brother up with a job! If you have a henny are on your third high end Zeiss and have a near perfect Nightforce F1 you must be making a small fortune! I am not sure I want to know how many top end rifles you have because I may start...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Optics Factory / The new T5Xi thread (-!!-Picture Heavy-!!-)

    My opinion absolutely would not change. There is a lot more to good glass than the type of coatings used on the glass. In the world of optics, not even just scopes but all optics including cameras, German glass remains king. Then American/other euro glass then Japanese glass then the glass...

    Rifle Scopes Help needed to pick a Tactical Riflescope......

    Do you have a set budget in mind? Budget is going to dictate what features you get and what you don't. To meet everything you want but are expensive : S&B 3-20, or even 5-25 (little heavier) Steiner MX5i series 3-15 or 5-25. Also March scopes look good too. Compromise for price...

    Good question..... He can go out and brag he has a Schmidt & Bender scope. Yes there will be additional features and reticle offerings on the S&B as well as the Steiner M5Xi and other high priced optics. Functionally they will all accomplish the same task equally well. It just depends on...

    Rifle Scopes Steiner Optics Factory / The new T5Xi thread (-!!-Picture Heavy-!!-)

    I believe they launch them up into space testing the ability of the scope to handle extreme g forces. Then vacuum of space allows them to test the seal and make sure you dont get fogging or condensation inside. Then reentry tests the durability of the entire scope including the turrets and...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Wife's wanting a handgun

    I don't know why everyone online with LEO friends say they rarely practice and many are not gun guys/gals. I would say a good number of the people I work with shoot in their off time as a hobby and many are avid hunters. A few are grandmaster pistol shooters. I'm not saying all are big time...

    Yes. I had it dialed right about the point it starts to turn and that is why the numbers are off center in that particular picture. They normally are very well centered and are very easy to see. The press is a large arbor press and they intentionally bend and break them. I don't know the...
