    Rifle Scopes New to long range.. asking for scope help & opinions.

    It may be worth noting that probably 90% of rifle shooters never get to the point that they are using their reticle to range objects, make corrections, etc. They just put the crosshair on the target and shoot. If it's not in the middle, they adjust until it gets into the middle. They will never...

    Who here has pointed bullets?

    Yeah, I do it with Berger 155 hybrids. In my experience it's worth about 1 MOA at 1000 yards with those bullets moving 3050 fps. It takes about 40 minutes to point a box of 500. Have also pointed a lot of 6mm 105 hybrids and had good results with those also. I put away all of that 6mm BS...

    Rifle Scopes Scopes and warranties for a 50 BMG?

    Alright, you talked me into it. I'll buy one. Out of curiosity, how does someone "look into the percentages"?

    Rifle Scopes Scopes and warranties for a 50 BMG?

    Perception is reality, I guess. I've had 2 vortex scopes, both failed and had to be sent back. Vortex was cool about it and replaced them both quickly, but they still failed under very little use. On one, the reticle "de-laminated" while in the safe not being used. I sold them both after...

    Rifle Scopes Scopes and warranties for a 50 BMG?

    Call USO and ask them. I'd be willing to bet that they will take care of your scope as long as they are in business.

    Why not use the USO? They will fix it if it breaks. Vortex "No-BS" warranty seems to get used more than any other warranty in the history of riflescopes. Is that a good thing?

    What types of groups are good shooters getting with .308 winchester at 100 yards?

    I never shoot at 100 yards, but more often than not in 300 to 600 yard matches I can keep all 20 shots inside 2 moa with 50-80% of those inside 1 moa shooting from prone with a sling and iron sights.

    Is my dealer screwing me on transfer fees?

    If he told you $25 and charged you $50, I'd say he screwed you. Not a lot of recourse for you, just don't use him again I guess.

    Peterson 6.5 Creedmore Palma Brass

    Yeah, makes no sense. While Lapua Palma brass does have a small primer pocket, That's nat what makes it "Palma" brass. What makes it "Palma" is that it is chambered in .308, which is the Palma cartridge.

    Peterson 6.5 Creedmore Palma Brass

    If the brass is for 6.5 Creedmoor, what does "Palma" have to do with it? Those 2 things don't really go together.

    FYI Guys Checking out the For Sale Section !

    Ok, dumb question here. If the system won't let someone with a low post count post ads in the sale section in the first place unless they pay the fee, why would a mod ban anyone based on someone else complaining to them that a new guy with a low post count is trying to sell something?

    I was squadded with Norm this year for the Wimbledon match. I don't have any experience with proof barrels, but that one is definitely a hammer.

    Eclipse on August 21st. Photo thread?

    Well, the being in the right place part is sort of important, because if you aren't there, you can't see it. This is the first one in the continental USA in almost 40 years, so "all the time" might not be the best description. According to your web link, the next total eclipse will be in July...

    Eclipse on August 21st. Photo thread?

    The last total eclipse that was visible in the US was in 1979. I didn't see it, so yeah, I took the day off from work to go see this one. Not sure why, seeing it on the internet like most will do will probably be just as good.

    My Apologies to the Hide

    After thinking about this for a couple of days, I have to admit that I'm sort of disappointed to find this out. I remember you posting about the Haiti stuff back really early on, and I even sent some money to your cause one time. When the "Hotshotsphotograpy" name disappeared, I guess I kind of...

    My Apologies to the Hide

    Do your political views happen to be super annoying? If so, that could be a factor.

    My Apologies to the Hide

    Gotcha. Do you still have the studio pic of you holding the Barrett .50 in one hand and an AR in the other? There may have been a Glock or two in the mix also, I can't remember for sure. I do distinctly remember that it was epic though.
