    What's a good shooting mat?

    Re: What's a good shooting mat? I have several shooting mats. Ones from Midway, Champion's Choice, Blackhawk, etc... The most comfortable mat (thick) is the one from Creedmoor Sports. It is a bit bulky and heavy but not too bad. But its not something you're going to stuff in your range bag...

    Preferred target shape for shooting groups?

    Re: Preferred target shape for shooting groups? I prefer to use the smallest black dot ( drawn and colored using a template) against a bright white background with the scope at the highest magnification power that I will use in order to be able to quarter the dot with the reticle.

    Rifle Scopes New Reticle Design from BDS and USO

    Re: New Reticle Design from BDS and USO I'm a average shooter with no tactical or competition experience ( except for F Class). But with my very limited experience I know I do not care for a dot in the center of the crosshairs surrounded by open space. Such as the reticle in the IOR (MP 8...

    Re: Neck sizing die vs s type neck bushing die If you're looking to neck size only I highly recommend you try a Lee Neck Collet die. I use it and love it. It has many good points. No lube, minimal working of the brass,no expander ball, very low neck runout. Can be a little tricky to set up...

    Rifle Scopes American Rifle Company Rings

    Re: American Rifle Company Rings I thought they (rings) may have been purchased from a independant dealer. Sometimes it's cheaper to buy that way than directly from the manufacturer. Any other comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Rifle Scopes American Rifle Company Rings

    Has anyone used the new American Rifle Company M10 rings? Not that it matters but I'm considering buying a set in 34mm for a S&B so as not to leave rings marks. How do they compare with the previous models? And lastly, where were they purchased from?

    Rifle Scopes What's the deal with CCW? It doesn't make sense.

    Re: What's the deal with CCW? It doesn't make sense. I agreed with XTR. It just seems intuitive. Most of us use right hand screws in our daily life. When you turn a right hand screw CW it moves inward and or down and vice versa. Turn the elevation knob CW (right hand screw) and it moves down...

    Re: Leupold Zero Point Boresighter I have one and don't use it anymore. It always seems to read low and right during veiwing. I've double checked it against my other bore sighters ( Redfield and Sweany). When using those I can be within a few inches at a 100 yards. But those sighters use a...

    Rifle Scopes " Sharp" red dot?

    Re: " Sharp" red dot? I believe Redmanss hit the nail on the head. I too have astigmatism and have the same problems. I wear my "far " glasses when shooting with a red dot. Yet, with that being said there is a difference in red dot " roundness"" and/or " flaring". I have one "UltraDot" red...

    Re: Recommend a torque wrench You may want to consider a dial type torque wrench. Precision Instruments ( www. Torqwrench.com ) or CDI Torque Products brands are the two I use. The beauty of the dial type wrench is the direct readout. What you see is what you have ( torque value )...
