    My employer mandated the vaccine. Anyone else?

    Wife works at local hospital Intensive Care floor, been a RN for 45 years. Cared for and seen a lot of "covid" patients since this started. We've all had Covid, flu symptoms and no big deal. Now we're loaded with natural antibodies and don't need the experimental jab. Hospital now says...

    I just can't see Skittles wearing a track suit, even if it has 3 stripes. Topstrap

    Hoplite Arms

    He's my Son, heck of a shooter. Dings the mile pretty consistent with his 223 and 88s. The 338 we'll be using to compare to is the one Randy Wise set an ELR World record with. It's all stock except for the chassis and should be a good gun to compare with. Same conditions, two shooters or maybe...

    Skittles can't wait for his 338 NM to get here. Looking forward to a side by side session with my Savage 112 Target 338 Lapua at Thunder Valley.at a mile. Topstrap

    Why the hatred for savage?

    It wasn't too long ago a right handed guy with 7 fingers shooting left handed with no spotter set an ELR World Record with a stock barreled Savage 112 single shot 338 Lapua at 2158 yards with a cold bore shot followed up by 2 more hits. Don't rag on them too hard, they may not be smooth or...

    50 Rounds at 350 Yards

    Purdy darn good. Wasn't that long ago we got eye rolls and snickers if we told people we were shooting stuff at even 200 yards. Now longrange 22 is the new fad. I'm cheap, I shoot 5 times then multiply results times 10 to get 50. In another thread Bill said I need to learn to fan it to keep up...

    Remington 540X?

    A fella shoots one at my longrange matches and a few other disciplines and he always places very high up even against a few V-guns and other top level equipment. He's shooting Polar Biathalon and it really likes it. Topstrap

    Results August Topstraps Rimfire Challenge

    I want to thank everyone that came this weekend, was wondering if some thought it would be next weekend due to Sunday being the first but still had 26 competitors. Some had it really really calm and slightly overcast and a few others had a good bit of wind that was really switching around which...

    Good deal, he's "dinged" it eith his 6.5x47, my 6XC, and 338 Lapua, his 223, my 6x47 ELR pistol and even his 6XC with peep sights. We're figuring the mile would be the starting point with your 338 Norma gun then go from there. Better to wait and have it right than rush it out with problems...

    I want to thank everyone for coming to my little Rimfire match and also want to thank those that helped with spotting and painting targets between rounds. It's very much appreciated. The scores for some were down but shooting these in reverse is a lot harder if you don't have perfect settings...

    Another match in the books. Had a really nice weekend, I want to thank everyone that came and hope you had a good time. Also want to thank those that helped spot and score during the match, it gives me a break on the eyes and also lets two shooters move out thru the course at their own speed...
