    The "I don't just shoot my mouth off..." Thread...

    Here's the result of 2x 20-shot matches + sighters at 200 yards with .22lr. X-ring is 2", 10-ring is 4". Shot from prone with sling & irons. Scores were 200-9x and 197-7x.

    The "I don't just shoot my mouth off..." Thread...

    Ok, if we are going to compare 10-shot 100-yard targets from Smallbore Nationals, I shot these 2 last year, both prone from sling. First one was with irons, 2nd was with 20x SWFA SS on top:

    Old Reliable - Do We Need Safe Spaces

    I don't care much one way or the other about Larry, but in reading through this thread, the above quote struck me as a damned odd line of thought for a man.

    Starline .308 Brass

    If it's between those 2, just get the Lapua. The Starline might be great, but you know the Lapua will be.

    GF doesn't like guns

    A 19-year old girl is one year out of high school. She doesn't know anything yet, stop talking about marrying/having kids with her. The way you've described it, if you stay with her, she might change you or you might change her. Either way, at least one of you is likely to be unhappy with the...

    Were you are now what would you tell yourself as a beginner?

    Don't listen to anything anyone from the future tells you.

    K-Bars What Knife is in your pocket right now?

    The Emerson replaced a ZT 0350 folder that I carried for 5 years. I lost it on the highway after having to pull over to do some emergency trailer wiring repairs, and then left it sitting on the bumper. My heart was broken, and I spent 2 months researching a replacement before I decided on the...

    The question of Bolt vs. Semi action?

    You can have a lot of fun at 1000 with either one of those rifles as long as you keep your expectations realistic.

    Advanced Marksmanship Struggling with cheek weld

    It'll be different for everyone. Get in position on the rifle and close your eyes. When you open them, are you looking through the center of the scope? If not, move it until you are. Wherever it ends up doing that will be the correct height, who cares what it looks like. No idea what sort...

    Favorite Rimfire Upgrade/Mod?

    Yep, factory barrel. I bought the rifle used with about 5k throughbit, and I've added about another 5k. I brought it down to the Lapua test center in 2015 and found a lot of Center-X that beat all of the Midas and X-act that they had to test. I was happy about that, as it saved me about $700...

    The question of Bolt vs. Semi action?

    I'm not trying to justify anything. I don't even shoot F-class, I thought I made that clear earlier. I never have, and I don't expect to start. That particular type of shooting doesn't interest me, but whatever people want to spend their time and money on is not my business.

    The question of Bolt vs. Semi action?

    You don't have to oblige me anything. You stated earlier that gas guns can hang with bolt guns at distance from a pure accuracy standpoint, and I tried to tell you that they can't. If you want to find out the truth, build or buy the best AR platform rifle(s) that you can get for 1k accuracy...

    The question of Bolt vs. Semi action?

    Ian, Of course there are variables, there are in every experiment. Even so, if you have enough people shoot the same 2 rifles and record the results, you will start to see a trend develop. Most here (Jake and Walt Willis notwithstanding) have a pretty good idea of what that trend will likely...

    The question of Bolt vs. Semi action?

    Yeah, you're probably right. There's no way someone could ever use actual data to reach a conclusion on a topic like this. Best to just trust your own assumptions. Heck, I'm sure you'll outshoot those fancy f-class boys anyways!

    The question of Bolt vs. Semi action?

    Ummmm... Yeah, and then what? Are you going to do any actual comparisons to F-Class rifles, or just say; "Hey, this thing shoots pretty good, I guess AR's really are just as accurate as bolt guns!" It would be interesting to have yourself and a couple of accomplished F-Class shooters shoot...

    The question of Bolt vs. Semi action?

    How will you quantify the results of this experiment?

    Regular Smokers

    I smoked from 13-27, quit in 2001. For those of you who are regular, pack/day or more smokers, how far can you run without stopping?

    The question of Bolt vs. Semi action?

    You are sort of making my point for me. The reason that there are AR-specific F-Class events is because the gas guns just aren't competitive against bolt guns in an open class, so people really don't shoot them for that. Having an AR-specific class or event lets them compete against similar...

    22lr bullet lube question

    This really is the bottom line with rimfires. I brought my smallbore rifle to the Lapua test center 2 years ago to do lot testing, and went through 12 or 14 lots in about 5 hours of testing. One particular lot of Center-X stood out above everything else, including several lots of X-act and...

    The question of Bolt vs. Semi action?

    Ok, I'll buy that. For hit/miss type steel matches a semi can work fine, but as mentioned above, they really can't hang with the bolts in matches shooting for score - f-class, conventional prone, etc.
