    Russian Capture K98 kit

    Re: Russian Capture K98 kit the 7.62 that they converted to was .30-06, not .308 ( which wasn't around in that time frame) and I have one. They milled a flat on the left side of the reciever for the new serial #, and lined out the original German serial #, and stamped the last 3 numbers of...

    K98 vs 1903

    Re: K98 vs 1903 I have a K98 that the Norwegins redid (new barrel, new sights, new serial number) after WW2 into .30-06. They were on the market in the early to mid 90's, after their resurves let them go.

    F T/R Competition AR15 for F T/R

    Re: AR15 for F T/R update on AR Spacegun. On 6/10/11 I won the Alaska Mid-Range HP Prone Regional championship with my .223 Spacegun, with a 593-35X and the 2nd place was shooting a boltgun and shot a 593-29X and 3rd shot a 585-16X with a .260 boltgun. You're not losing anything by using a...

    F T/R Competition What .30 cal bullet?

    Re: What .30 cal bullet? I have been shooting SMK 175's, in a .308, and at 800 & 900 I shoot in the mid 190's, but between 900 & 1000 the bullet goes above the tree's, and at 1000 I drop down to 188-190. Last weekend I tried some SMK 190's and the first relay I shot a 189 with the 175's and...

    Rifle Scopes scope question for 1,000 yard

    Re: scope question for 1,000 yard You want a high end power variable scope for 600 to 1000 yard compitition. When the mirage gets bad, you just turn it down, but the rest of the time you want the power up. At first it will seem like to much, but what you want is to aim at a point (I aim at...

    F T/R Competition AR15 for F T/R

    Re: AR15 for F T/R On the mid-range course, a good Spacegun in .223 is competitive with most of the other calibers, especially the .308's. It is easy to load good loads for it and it is cheaper than the other calibers, so you can practice more for the same money. I shoot HP Prone, and we...

    Advanced Marksmanship MOA adjust

    Re: MOA adjust One of the biggest problems that I have found, and have seen, when shooting at long range matches is at that distance the number 1 issue is that the adjustments of all the scopes are not the same. At closer ranges they will be pretty close, but the same adjustments on different...

    Advanced Marksmanship Success in Service Rifle Comps?

    Re: Success in Service Rifle Comps? The NRA allow's the M-110, because the Army asked them to. The reason is because the Army wanted to use them in the 1000 yard Service Rifle matches, so the NRA allowed them, but the CMP did not, because they do not have 1000 yard matches. This comes from...

    Advanced Marksmanship Question on prone shooting position

    Re: Question on prone shooting position I'd like to make a few comments on prone shooting. I shoot NRA across-the-course, mostly with a space gun these days because I have a hard time seeing the front sight on a Service Rifle, Mid-Range Prone and Long Range, both using a coat and sling. I...

    Re: Hello Alaska shooters These are the targets that I use to practice with. They are only the centers, but if you want a bigger target, just get a roll of white paper, like butchers paper and put that underneath the centers. There are some other Hide shooters interested and you could split...

    Recommendations for AR15 "iron sights" for matches

    Re: Recommendations for AR15 "iron sights" for matches The only thing that would be Service Rifle legal, would be the detachable carry handle type rear sight. Most of them do not have enough elevation adjustment for 600 yards, I'm not sure about 500, but the RRA NM does, and you really want a...
