    Thunder Valley Precision 2014 Schedule

    Is shooting done after September? I was hoping to get some late season shooting in this fall, my spring and summer has been insanely busy.

    Does anyone still have Terrapins in stock?

    Had it a couple weeks now and came to this conclusion: This is what a range finder is supposed to be! I have been successful at ranging buildings as far as 4847 yards. I was a little concerned about it only having 5x magnification, but I don't seem to have an issue with it at all. Glass is much...

    50 cal what would you buy what's your favorite

    I see some of your points. People just unfortunately judge a 50 with cheap ball ammo. This is very unfortunate. Just for some reference, these are some ballistics for my friends 338 trg-42 with 300 grain scenars, my McMillan 50 with ball, then match solids. And finally my 408 Cheytac with...

    50 cal what would you buy what's your favorite

    P.S. Are there better dedicated ELR rounds out there? Yes. Is there a more versatile ELR platform? I don't think so.

    50 cal what would you buy what's your favorite

    Why all the 50 haters? It's such a great caliber with many great platforms available. A 50 cal with high B.C bullets blows the doors off a 338 ballistically. My McMillan is sub MOA and supersonic out to 2500 yards with 808 grain solids using a G1 BC of 1.10! I can load plinking 50 cal for UNDER...

    50 cal what would you buy what's your favorite

    I have a Mcmillan single shot, Barrett M107a1, an EDM and recently sold a full auto M2HB. M2 aside, If firepower is your priority the Barrett can lay some serious energy down range. No bolt gun can compete with 10 rounds in 10 seconds! Accuracy from the Barrett can be sub 2 MOA. If accuracy is...

    Sako TRG 338 Lapua Magnum

    Is your trg-42 a 1/10 or 1/12 twist barrel? I don't know if a 1/12 will stabilize the 285 gr bullet. My buddy and I are researching for an ELR bullet that can be stabilized by his 1/12 trg-42.

    6.5mm Berger 140 Hybrid accuracy issues.

    It looks like I may have to bump up the charge a half a grain or so. It will suck if I'm stuck with all these and they don't like my rifle. Thanks for the replies guys!

    6.5mm Berger 140 Hybrid accuracy issues.

    I have tried a wide range of seating depths from just touching the lands at 2.910 down to 2.800. Every bullet I tried, 43 grains of h4350 was the sweet spot so I will have to try different charges for the hybrid I guess. Was hoping this would be easy.

    6.5mm Berger 140 Hybrid accuracy issues.

    Hey Guys, I have been shooting Berger 140 VLDs in my 260 for years with very good results. For the most part I have gotten sub .5 MOA with occasional .25 MOA with my VLD loads. I have been looking to try the new hybrids for a while now and finally found a box of 500 at bullets.com and ordered...

    Does anyone still have Terrapins in stock?

    I ordered one of these this morning after seeing this thread. I have been wanting to upgrade my fusion 1600s for a while now. I was holding out as long as I could hoping a new model was on the way, but nothing has yet been released or even rumored as far as I have seen. I figured this is my last...

    my SCAR 17s my version of the DMR lol

    I like it! I have had my SCAR 17 with 175 smk hand loads out to 1000 yards on a 1.5 MOA plate. I was shooting in challenging 10-15 mph winds and getting about 25-33% hits. I borrowed a USO 5-25 from one of my other rifles. I haven't decided what optic I want for it yet. I'm leaning towards a...

    AI vs. Custom US build

    I second this! I could have saved a lot of money if I just bought my AIAW first. The bolt and mag feed so reliably and smooth compared to any other bolt rifle I have shot. This gun still makes me smile after 6k rounds and 2 barrels in 308 and later 260. I had it re-barreled in 260 by Moon at...

    Barrett m107a1 vs m82a3

    How much elevation travel does your scope have? My USO has 95 and I have a 20 Moa mount on the barrett 27 Moa rail. I can only get a 300 yard zero though. At first I was frustrated with this but now I don't mind it. I have only shot inside of 300 once and it's easy to hold a few Moa low. My...

    Barrett m107a1 vs m82a3

    Congrats on the purchase! Wish I had the kind of connections for a pice like that! I shoot my 50s at thunder valley, just non flammable rounds are permitted though. The long targets (over 1 mile) are not always up so make sure you verify they are before you make the drive.

    Barrett m107a1 vs m82a3

    Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I know of people who have successfully done this. Having fired thousands of rounds through my barrett semi autos I see how in theory it could temporarily tighten up the barrel fit slightly, but I personally don't believe this would increase accuracy with any...
