    Gun Cleaning

    On my original M24 barrel I could go a few hundred rounds between cleaning, and the same for my new Bartlein barrel. That was 308 and with clean burning powder. On my 6.5 cm I can’t go anywhere near the same number of rounds. Not near my notes but with my 6.5 I don’t go over 180, but that is...

    What to bring to the range?

    This is something I didn’t start carrying till recently. I have only 1 rifle that I run with the seating depth set at a jam. We used it on a hunt one night and after coming back empty handed, I dumped the box mag and ran the bolt back. Case came out and I couldn’t figure out what the stuff all...

    Gun Cleaning

    I tend to use the same standard for every precision rifle. If the group opens up to 1 moa or doubles group size, that’s where I clean. On some I could continue to go longer, but choose not to because I like small groups. As an example, my factory RPR will shoot consistent 0.3” groups...

    Gun Cleaning

    Ar’s get a bore snake every once in a while if it’s not a precision rig, and then a deeper clean every 800-1000 rounds. All other parts cleaned and lubed on a regular basis, normally after each range trip. I find cleaning firearms to be relaxing and therapeutic though. Pistols get cleaned a lot...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex HD gen II 4.5-27 question

    Hmmm. Or find someone to trade with. This last week I wish I had a Gen 1 rail. I had to drill and tap the Gen 2 so that I could mount my PVS 30.

    Night Vision Pvs 30 vs Co-x gen 2 mg with BE Meyers Mawl

    Modified factory Gen 2 handguard. I filed down the tabs from a mlok section, then drilled and tapped the hand guard to accept the rail.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex HD gen II 4.5-27 question

    I’m running the Seekins 1.45 on the factory 20 moa base. With a 100 yard zero with factory 143 eld-x leaves me with 18.3 MIL’s on the turret.

    What to bring to the range?

    Sorry, this is an excellent post. I didn’t think about targets, staples, etc. I guess I’m spoiled to have steel targets scattered around 100 acres. Definitely a med kit wether on private or public. I have one in every vehicle and carry a small one daily, so again something I overlooked. When...

    What to bring to the range?

    Depends on what kind of shooting range you are at Andy what kind of shooting your into. On my personal range at home I use sandbags up front and a squeeze bag in the rear for load developement. I also take a good spotting scope with me but depending on what optic is on your rifle, you may not...

    What ammo for long range?

    Yeah, it got so far off track earlier, I missed that. Thanks. Mark, I’m still interested in your rifle or rifles and set up.

    Night Vision Pvs 30 vs Co-x gen 2 mg with BE Meyers Mawl

    Fedex found the package and came back and delivered it yesterday. I had so much fun playing last night that I didn’t take any pictures. I’m hoping to get a few tonight even if it’s just proof of concept photos for how I hope to make things work. Just a few notes on the Luna. I have mixed...

    What ammo for long range?

    Mark, what is your definition of long range? Also, what rifle and set up are you using? I’m normally running my CZ 455 with 3-4 sandbags up front, and a sand bag rear with support under my hand so I can basically keep all external pressure off the stock.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Excellent thank you!

    What ammo for long range?

    I’m sure I didn’t help either. Sorry about that. For myself I like Rws R50, but I haven’t done much 200 yard other than steel. However at 100 it does well in my CZ. I will admit that I haven’t used any bipolar, or other really high end rim fire ammo in a long time, but I did run some mid...

    6.5 Creedmoor

    I’ve never or seen that before. That was a really interesting read. Thank you for sharing. I have it saved and will print it off for my father in law. He loves to dabble in benchrest since he no longer shoots it on a regular basis. He use to be into it a lot more. I’m going to print a copy...

    Night Vision Pvs 30 vs Co-x gen 2 mg with BE Meyers Mawl

    Well, just my luck. Fedex was just here to make the delivery. I was about to tell the driver of the bright yellow Penske truck that he was lost when I realized it was Fedex. After teasing him about how horrible it must be to finally be driving a truck with a radio and air conditioning, he got...

    What ammo for long range?

    I have been of the mindset that with 22lr, the course of fire is slow enough and the barrels don’t heat up a whole lot, so I never take into consideration chamber temperature. However, after reading about how 1 FPS makes a difference of 1/10 at 200, and seeing how My average 10 FPS SD gives me...
