    Advanced Marksmanship Young shooter advice needed

    Re: Young shooter advice needed Thanks guys. I've pretty much been changing him back to the right side every time he goes left, but wasn't sure if that was the right approach or not. Sounds like the consensus is to continue this. The other benefit is that I won't have to buy a bunch of...

    Advanced Marksmanship Young shooter advice needed

    Gents, I need some advice from the shooting instructors out there. I have a young son who is just starting to shoot. He is right eye dominant, but continues to want to shoot left handed. He has a hard time closing only his left eye, so I don't know if he wants to shoot left handed because of...

    match bullet for 1000y that will act like vmax

    Re: match bullet for 1000y that will act like vmax Not sure about the ones for a 308, but I use the 162 Amax in my 7-08. Shot a few groundhogs last year in the 200-300 range and created some beautiful gut piles. Pretty devastating from what I saw. Also do a number on deer. If you're...

    Need advice - 243AI Neck Concern

    Re: Need advice - 243AI Neck Concern Yeah, I really have no desire to turn necks. It will probably go back, but I'm waiting on a response from my gunsmith. he was checking the drawings on the reamer to be certain what the dimensions are. How do they fix it? Do they just ream out the...

    Need advice - 243AI Neck Concern

    Re: Need advice - 243AI Neck Concern Let me clarify a bit. This rifle is a switch barrel rig. The original barrel is a 14 twist Shilen with 0.277" neck. The loaded round I shot in the 8 twist barrel was from previous loads for the 14 twist barrel. I would assume there will be no change in...

    Need advice - 243AI Neck Concern

    Guys, I just got my new build, a 243AI with 8 twist Rock. To my surprise, I found that the neck dimension is 0.272". Not a tight neck, but a good bit less than standard. Is there any reason that I wouldn't want this? I'm gonna be using this for field work (tactical comps and hunting). My...

    Rifle Scopes HOLDING vs DIALING

    Re: HOLDING vs DIALING Ideal is to have your turrets match the reticle. There are a few good options out there with this setup depending on how much you're willing to spend. I never owned a scope with a Horus reticle, but have used them. Too much shit to look at for my liking. Others love...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold glass- What to do?

    Re: Leupold glass- What to do? Do you really think the processes they used 20 years ago to make glass and coat them was better than they are today? I would send it in let them do whatever they need to do to fix it. You just might end up with a clearer scope.

    Allegheny Sniper Challenge

    Re: Allegheny Sniper Challenge Another vote for what Lindy suggested. That's all I have ever used at ASC and it never fails. I just tied a small fishing sinker to the end of the sting.

    Rifle Scopes Totally disgusted with Leupold

    Re: Totally disgusted with Leupold I have two Mk4's that continue to serve me well and most likely I won't be selling them. In fact, I just sent one off to get a TMR put in it. My experience with them has been quite good. With that said though, I most likely won't be buying any more unless...

    Gunsmithing Barrel vice question

    Guys, I'm getting to ready have a switch barrel rifle built and I'm starting to look at the tools I will need to perform the switching. Looking at the barrel vices, I'm wondering why a good standard vice can't be used with the proper blocks and bushings. Is it possible to use a heavy table...

    Rifle Scopes Anyone feel 0.2 Mil hashes offer advantage?

    Re: Anyone feel 0.2 Mil hashes offer advantage? I use a TMR and love it. I usually only use the 0.2 mil hashes for ranging and have noticed better results with my ability to range accurately. I don't use them at all for follow-up shot corrections, but the 0.5 mil marks are perfect for this...

    Re: changing out a reticle Leupold is $160 to put a TMR in a Mk4 scope. I know this because I called and I'm getting ready to send mine in this week.

    7mm 162gr A-Max, load into the lands?

    Re: 7mm 162gr A-Max, load into the lands? My 7-08 did best about 5 thou off. I had the same experience with jamming them - disaster. Also, they do tend to be somewhat sensitive to seating depth. Not like SMKs, that's for sure.

    Stupid AI mag question

    Re: Stupid AI mag question Well that sucks. Guess I gotta live with it for now. Maybe I'll have to put more thought into going with a standard 243 when I rebarrel to a faster twist.

    Stupid AI mag question

    Re: Stupid AI mag question It's not the OAL. I'm testing with casings only. I was able to force 4 shells in, but no way is the 5th gonna make it. I think it has something to do with the lack of taper on the 243 Ackley casing. When I use my 7-08 shells, 5 go in with no problem. I...
