The four-inch-long bullet has actuators that steer tiny fins that guide it to its...

    McMillan's Hydraulic Recoil Mitigation upd TAC50

    Re: McMillan's Hydraulic Recoil Mitigation upd TAC50 I like the basic idea, but would gladly trade a bit more recoil for less rearward movement... perhaps they wil tune up the system in the future.

    Gas gun vs. bolt competency question

    Re: Gas gun vs. bolt competency question Yes... you have to compare apples to apples, you cannot compare a heavy bolt gun with an ergonomic stock optimized for prone shooting, with a good cheek rest, and crisp 2.5 lb trigger to a relatively light AR rifle with stock not optimized for prone...

    Gas gun vs. bolt competency question

    Re: Gas gun vs. bolt competency question The gas enters the port and cycles the action, OK... but the elapsed time from entering the port to the point when the bullet exits the barrel is a small fraction of a milisecond. Follow through would be affected, but perhaps the more complicated...

    Re: Berger 168gr hybrid w/ g-1 bc of .519 Bryan, what would be a good OAL for a normal 308 chamber? Would 2.86" to 2.88" work OK?

    Rifle Scopes New Hensoldt 3.5-26x56mm at S.H.O.T.

    Re: New Hensoldt 3.5-28x56mm at S.H.O.T. This scope is designed for military users, on modern chassis long range rifles. The scope must be mounted relatively high because of the 34 mm main tube and 56 mm objective, AND to align correctly with the forward mounted NV scope on the forward rail...

    2012 SHOT

    Re: 2012 SHOT That hensoldt scope looks great. Very clever turret indicator, and 18 mils per turn, 36 total!. The CR123a battery should help in very low temperatures. Does anybody have a picture of the available reticles?

    Got a Remington 700 5R 20" 308 question

    Re: Got a Remington 700 5R 20" 308 question The remington 700 barrels are made by cold hammer forging, and the dies cost a lot! I doubt they have a different pattern than the 1-11.25 twist 5R "milspec". Perhaps there is a difference in QC, chamber reamer, obviously there are different...

    Rifle Scopes Objective size

    Re: Objective size If everything else remains constant: more magnification = less FOV more FOV = less eye relief Objective size does not affect this, only pros for a bigger objective are more light gathering ability and bigger exit pupil at a given magnification. Exit pupil diameter is...

    Rifle Scopes Objective size

    Re: Objective size Objective size alone does nothing for FOV. For example, check the NXS line, same FOV with 50 vs 56 mm objective.

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 10x/16x glass

    Re: SWFA 10x/16x glass I could care less about other people's feedback, specially if I don't know them personally... most don't know much what they are talking about. When you read stuff on the net you better weight the opinions you are getting, filter BS, propaganda, etc., how to do it is an...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 10x/16x glass

    Best round for 1000+

    Re: Best round for 1000+ Lately there are many reports of 175 SMK hits at extended ranges, well beyond supersonic range. Same with the lapua scenar 155 gr, but this is a much less used bullet (no military use). Same reports on the .338 scenar 250, but this is a different caliber. How...

    Rifle Scopes Can parallax adjustment affect POI?

    Re: Can parallax adjustment affect POI? If your eye position is off center, and you shoot a group with the parallax not corrected, your point of impact is different than if you center your eye, or position it any other way. If you can shoot in this position with repeatability (quite...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA 10x/16x glass

    Re: SWFA 10x/16x glass I have direct and extensive experience three SS 16X, the glass was more than fair (not great), the clicks very usable and repeatable (no great either), and the mil dot reticle was perfectly graduated (checked it against tape at 100 m). For paper shooting, the 16X is...
