    SPS tactical vs 5r

    Re: SPS tactical vs 5r Not from personal experience, but from what I have heard the 5R rifling is superior to the rifling you will find on the tactical. 5R = 1 in 11.25" twist Tactical = (I don't remember, but it is something like) 1 in 11" or 1 in 12" twist If I had the cash I would go for...

    Re: TEXAS I am in Denton. Family is from Shiner originally. Does anyone know if TacPro has open range days? It is pretty far away but it is the closest 1000 yard range. Maybe Oklahoma?

    Alternatives to backpack-style hydration bladders?

    Re: Alternatives to backpack-style hydration bladders? This probably isnt what you are looking for, but I like it for hikes in unfamiliar country. It has solar panels and has a water bladder pouch (holds up to a 3liter bag, but i recommend a 2 liter so it doesn't take up too much room inside...

    WiFi target monitoring

    Re: WiFi target monitoring You are right to both. I am in the Dallas area, but even when I go about an hour into the middle of nowhere Verizon has pretty good data coverage. I am from Houston though and I know what you mean about no signal. I like my wired system better because of the...

    Itouch Alternative?

    Re: Itouch Alternative? I have both Ballistics FTE and Bullet Flight L2. They are cool if you want to input custom load info. They are best for getting on paper at distance and then adjusting BC's and muzzle velocity to match your data as a lot of people suggest here. I don't like writing a...

    WiFi target monitoring

    Re: WiFi target monitoring I am sort of a tech geek and I have some ideas to make this better. Let me explain the components of my ideal set up. Mi-fi: uses the Sprint or Verizon data networks and created a localized (10-20 feet) wi-fi hotspot that you can use to connect to the internet...

    Rifle Scopes best scope for less then $350?

    Re: best scope for less then $350? I have to reply to this thread. I am still a novice shooter but I really like the Redfield Revolution line. A bit below the threads price point but if you are looking for an entry scope for a less expensive rifle I would look at this. IMHO Now I am debating...

    Advanced Marksmanship Best practice for breaking in a barrel

    Re: Best practice for breaking in a barrel I figure it won't hurt anything to foul it and see what happens. My girlfriend has a Savage in .243 and I just cleaned hers and I am betting she is going to have to fire at least 5 rounds before getting consistent results.

    Advanced Marksmanship Best practice for breaking in a barrel

    Re: Best practice for breaking in a barrel I am also reading a lot that says to not clean after every shot, wanted to hear practical experience that isn't on 5 year old webpages. I want to hear from people who are shooting new ammo through new factory barrels.

    Advanced Marksmanship Best practice for breaking in a barrel
