    Rifle Scopes So I screwed up....

    Re: So I screwed up.... The Badgers are pretty wide. Do they need lapping or are they made from one piece of metal and split? I'm thinking I learned my lesson and won't be trying that trick again on expensive rings until I practice that skill a little more.

    Rifle Scopes So I screwed up....

    Ever have one of those moments when you say to yourself "are you really that dang dumb?". Well, I had one today. Earlier this week I decided to lap my leupold QRW rings. Not really sure why. I had just never done it before and wanted to try. That should have been my first clue that this was...

    Re: Barrel Break-in Observations I Don't Understand Ok, so reading through all of these posts, thanks for taking the time to answer by the way, what I think I'm hearing is something along the lines of: 1. It could have been a ton of different things. 2. Some things man is not meant to know...

    Range Report Barrel Break-in Observations I Don't Understand

    So I broke in a new barrel today. I'm very happy with the way it shoots. But I observed some things during the process that I don't understand. I was breaking in a 30" Bartlein in 308 with 5R rifling. Ok, so the first 21 rounds it was steadily cleaning easier (5th patch clean) but it shot...

    More practicool, and less tacticool. Saving money!

    Re: More practicool, and less tacticool. Saving money! I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read this or it would have been sprayed all over the place! That was funny as hell, even if I did see myself in a few places!

    Marksmanship Training for Normal People...

    Running the risk of being flamed to hell and back...I've got a question on training academies. My wife, bless her little heart, has mentioned sending me off to shooting training as a gift. Kind of like summer camp for grown men. Anyway, I would really love to do somethng like that but I don't...

    F T/R Competition Savage F/TR Short chamber? 175 SMK C.O.L.

    Re: Savage F/TR Short chamber? 175 SMK C.O.L. I have a Savage 11 Long Range Hunter in 308 and see the same thing. Anything over 2.79 and it doesn't like it at all.

    Re: Any Long Range High Master F T/R shooters ? Well, since others are sharing...let me tell you about my first F-Class match at AEDC. This last match was my second. Until a year ago I had been solely a pistol shooter. I'd done that for about 20 years and hadn't shot a rifle since I was...

    Just made the 1k club

    Re: Just made the 1k club Two matches at 1000 and now every time I shoot at the 100 yard range near my house I feel cheated! Yep...you're screwed. Sub 1 MOA at 100 is nowhere near as fun now that you've shot 2 MOA at 1000. lol

    Range Report Shooter Calculated Solution vs Observed

    Re: Shooter Calculated Solution vs Observed Thanks very much Bryan. It had not occured to me that my elevation adjustments might not be 1/4 MOA. For what I paid for that (censored high end manufacturer)....I feel so violated!

    Range Report Shooter Calculated Solution vs Observed

    Re: Shooter Calculated Solution vs Observed Ok, so I created a test ammo with .243 as BC. It got closer. 37.7 MOA. Data entered is below. Why would the data library be wrong? Maybe it got corrupted somehow? Should I delete the app and reinstall? Firearm: Savage 11 Long Range Hunter...
