    Rangefinders

    Hey guys, I recently did a pretty comprehensive field test on several rangefinders. It doesn't include the Leica monocular, but it doesn't include a few of the other models you guys are talking about. Here is the line-up: And like others have said ... yes the Vectronix is the best...

    Rangefinder Binoculars Field Tests & Review

    For the past 3 months I've been testing virtually every ranging binocular on the market in a variety of real-world scenarios, to see which had the best performance in the field in terms of both optical clarity and ranging capabilities. I tried to have a purely objective, data-driven approach, so...

    Rangefinder Binoculars Reviews & Field Tests: Ranging Performance Results

    I just published the overall results summary, which is kind of like the executive summary of the field tests. I know the detailed posts are pretty long-winded, so I thought some of you guys might just want to hit the highlights and that is what this post is for. Here is the link to it...

    Rangefinder Binoculars Reviews & Field Tests: Ranging Performance Results

    Unfortunately, I did not thoroughly test the ballistic features of all the models. However, I don't believe the original Leica Geovid HD has any ballistic features. The newer HD-B model does. It is the only one that allows you to do custom ballistic curves. Essentially Leica has some software...

    Rangefinder Binoculars Reviews & Field Tests: Ranging Performance Results

    Hey, I'm the author of PrecisionRifleBlog.com, and just wanted to say thanks for sharing the link to the ranging results. I tested 8 models of rangefinders, with a focus on rangefinding binoculars. The results are based on over 10,000 data points collected from the field over 3 months of...

    Best Precision Rifle Equipment: What The Pro's Use

    You are exactly right, and Rich and I have already talked about doing this again after this year's finale. It will be interesting to watch what the trends are in precision shooting over time.

    Best Precision Rifle Equipment: What The Pro's Use

    A few months ago, I ran across a great post by jasonk that many of you guys may be familiar with. It had some very interesting info in it, so I asked Rich Emmons (the guy who originally compiled the data) if I could do some analysis on it, try to find patterns, and see if I could find good ways...

    Tactical Shooters Equipment - What the pros use...

    The 2012 winner and leader so far in 2013 is Wade Stuteville, who is the General Manager for Surgeon Rifles. I have a friend that has bought a couple rifles from them and even gone to visit their operation, and he has talked to Wade a lot. Wade runs MTU (Krieger #10 "Heavy Bull Target")...

    Tactical Shooters Equipment - What the pros use...

    Wow, this is great information. So great that I talked to Rich Emmons (one of the guys leading the PRS and the one who originally provided this info) and asked his permission to analyze this data at a little bit of a deeper level and try to present it visually. I've worked my way through part...

    6.5 Creedmoor barrel length

    23" might be a great length. I think most people just go with 24" or 26" because that is what gunsmiths recommend. Most gunsmiths just haven't had any experience with other lengths. That is exactly what the guys at Surgeon told us. In fact, they were excited we were willing to try something...

    6.5 Creedmoor barrel length

    I know a couple people that still reference this thread, and I had some empirical data I thought might help others trying to figure this out. Essentially one of my closest friends has two Surgeon rifles chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, and he has tried out a 26" barrel as well as a 22" barrel (both...

    6.5 creedmoor

    Hornady has been behind, but over the past month they have been focused on turning out 6.5 Creedmoor ammo. They started with the ammo with lighter bullets, then moved up to the 140gr AMAX. That is why Mile High has that now, but I'd be surprised if it doesn't become more readily available...

    custom rifle accuracy vs standard factory vs high end factory

    I agree 100% with bodywerks ... thats the difference in a nutshell. Couldn't have said it better myself.

    AI AW or AI AX?

    One of my closest friends has shot 1,000+ rounds out of an AX, 1,000+ rounds out of an AICS, and 1,000+ rounds out of an AICS with Viperskins (3rd party replacement skins for the AICS chassis made by Victor Company). I've talked to him extensively about each setup, because I'm personally about...

    My new portable reloading stand

    I created a table-top portable reloading press stand for this, similar to the one Sinclair offers (but with some improvements ... at least in my opinion). I drew it all up in a CAD program, and posted all the plans and instructions to try to help. I thought you guys might be interested in...

    AICS skins SA and LA

    They are different. Victor makes some really cool skins, and I've talked to Michael Victor about them. I know you have to tell him what action you have so he can know which parts to ship you. You can see that on their order form they require you to specify that as well: v I recently wrote...

    Review / comparison AI AICS vs AX

    There are pros & cons to both setups. I wrote a review that compares the AICS and AX ... as well as the AICS with some of the new 3rd party skins that are coming out. I think the new skins combine a lot of the best parts of each, and even improve upon a few things. Check out the full review...
