    Fine tuning my AR

    Geissele trigger would be my first choice. SSA-E is a excellent choice. Check on Gunbroker for a good price for one.

    Rifle Scopes ID this scope mount please????

    Why SFP unless due to price point. FFP is what I would prefer.

    They are just using bullying tactics in hopes to scare the post to be deleted. They should just fix the rifle instead of doing what they are doing. They are just burying themselves deeper and deeper. In fact if they did try to fix it, it would make great PR for them.

    Wow.. I'd be pissed with that workmanship. I've gotten more for less that what these guys charged you. Really sorry to see you had to go through this.

    Over-thinking barometric pressure...

    Don't know.. it was this other guy in class. I was on target with the right inputs. There were a few different steel targets, some were 4" disks, while others were 10". Since it was his rifle, his ballistic calculations, his ammo, and different weather conditions (ie wind, DA, etc), I can't...

    Over-thinking barometric pressure...

    I just wanted to mention that your comment "average barometric pressure swings in a given area are not going to be enough to move you more than a half minute off vertical at 1000 yards" would be incorrect. Depending on the area, there could be a huge swing. On one of my training classes with...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Fireclean or Froglube?

    I believe you're talking about Kevin Borland @ KAC, if I recall correctly. He seems to really like FC. I have been using FL on my handguns and it seem to work pretty good. I'm going to be trying FC on my AR to see how it works out. I've read somewhere that someone recommended FL on...

    Washington state monthly matches at Upper Nisqually Sportsman's Club

    Wish I didn't a conflict of schedule. Would love to shoot the match. Got all the gear needed for it too!

    Yours wasn't purchased on the GB right? This GB occurred around June of last year..

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    Here's the image I was talking about. This is about level 5 power out of 11, visible from the front of the scope. Playing with my scopes, I believe this is the norm when compared to my other FFP scopes. With the thick ring on this scope, it just makes it more visible vs thin lines on...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    Sweet.. just got mine back.. sent in my 1-6 back due being received with damage to the tube. Hmm.. I found one thing I don't like about the 1-6, but it's a minor issue for me since it's going on a benchrest rifle.. When illuminated, you can see the illuminated reticule being magnified when...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    I wonder if it's waterproof without the caps. If it is, that would be awesome, but I have a feeling it isn't. Ugh.. looking at my 1-6x24 scope, I just found a dent toward the front. Thought it was just a bit a dirt, but upon closer inspection it was a dent. :( I wonder if it was caused by the...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    I got mine today as well. Both of them. The 1-6x did have it's caps floating in the box. I'm not sure if I can run this optic as a 1x, like I can with a Aimpoint (or Eotech to be more of a closer comparison with the ring). I was impress how bright the ring is, but unsure how bright it would...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA-SS Tax Day Group Buy: 1-6, 5-20, and more!

    Looking forward to getting mine, I got my shipping notifier the other day. For the price point, I think SWFA scopes are great. With this deal, pure win.

    Shooting with both eyes open?

    Might be a obvious thing to check, but have you check to see if your base or scope mount is loose? I've had grouping issues due to that in the past.

    Bipod or bags?

    I like shooting this method as well.

    A quick point-shooting question...

    I found this interesting in my last pistol training class. At 10 yards or less you can pretty much keep the bullet on target as long as you track the front sight. He made us place the front sight on target, and align the rear sight off by the edge of the cutout. All shots were still Alpha...

    Rain and effects on ballistics today

    OP, did you account for the change in density altitude (environmental changes)? Changes can effect the POI. If you didn't then that possibly explain the POI shift. Depending on your area, some places can change more than others. In OR I was in a class where in the morning one guy couldn't...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA - hands down, WORST company I've dealt with

    Complaining about getting the scope WAY earlier than some of the people still waiting for the scope... I should be complaining since I haven't seen it even now, but I'm not because I knew it would be a long wait..
