    Is it over!!!????

    Good thing I was stocking up before it was the cool thing to do. Might have to ride it out still a bit longer.

    Rifle Scopes NF FC-3G anyone?

    Dont know anything about this particular one but I can vouch for NF as making some dern good scopes! I've been pleased with my NXS for going on 5 years now. No complaints.

    Artillery/Mortar operators, enlighten me

    Oh, and I've done a bit of 6 DOF analysis with artillery type shots as well as rifle shots. The physical phenomenon (external forces and moments) is identical between artillery and rifle bullets, just a higher angle shot for the former.

    Wow, this might be my favorite thread on Sniper's Hide in quite a while. Original and informing. Great respect for all those who've served and are currently serving.

    Range Report which shooting chrony to get?

    I've always loved having the beta model. It will remember 6 strings of 10 shots each in case you want to save the data for analysis later. Though in truth I've only used that feature a few times. The screen on the shooting Chrony's is large enough to read from the bench unless the light is...

    Any regrets going custom?

    I suppose I misunderstand the meaning of a custom gun. I specified the barrel weight and taper (#7 straight taper), the caliber 6mm AI, the chamber neck diameter, 0.271",and the throat sizing to be based off the 115 DTAC. The only thing factory on that gun is the original action which was from...

    Any regrets going custom?

    Your definition of bare bones looks like it has a little meat on it.... Action: hand-me-down Barrel, Chamber, Crown, Blueprint action, lapping: $795 Trigger: only minor honing by the gunsmith for no charge Stock: H-S precision $350 Action bedding: $100 TOTAL: $1245 Scope: Nightforce 5.5-22x56...

    Any regrets going custom?

    Custom costing more??? Heck if you can find a used rem700 action and walk into a good smith with it, you can walk out $1400 later with a 1/4 moa tack driver... 'least that's my experience. Then put at least that much or more in glass on top of it and you're talking competition quality gun for...

    Rifle Scopes 1000 bucks. SWFA or Vortex?

    Between those two, I've only had minimal experience with Vortex and was pleased. What I've learned on glass... dont skimp. I've replaced all my cheaper scopes with high end ones now that I'm "all growed up." Best decision ever was to get my Nightforce NXS... but that's not under $1k. Not saying...

    Decisions decisions... New to long range shooting

    I've always been told I'm crazy but I prefer a factory Remington trigger that's been polished and tweaked by a good smith to any "fancy" trigger. I had Brad Stair of what was at the time "Wasatch Precision" work on my trigger to the 6mmAI he built me. It breaks clean at 2 lbs and in the end he...

    Adding an adjustable cheek piece?

    Had an idea. For those of us who like to keep it cheap and do the foam and tape cheek risers.... start with a PVC pipe, then foam over that. Line it up to where the cleaning rod goes through the cheek riser!

    Hunting & Fishing Wolf or Coyote?

    Husky. Look for a dogsled nearby. Dead giveaway.

    Decisions decisions... New to long range shooting

    My two cents... The scope and the person make the biggest difference. Off the shelf rem700 from Wal-Mart with reloads will shoot submoa all day long if the scope is good enough to hold zero and crisp enough for the shooter to hold on the bullseye....and if the shooter can stay steady. Later if...

    Finally made my first 260 rounds! Pics inside!

    What scope is that? I'm on a tiny monitor and cant make it out. Looks compact. Or is that an illusion?

    Finally made my first 260 rounds! Pics inside!

    Nice looking gun! I've considered .260 for my next build (if I ever get around to a second build). I'm assuming its standard .260, not AI or some other pseudo wild cat? Call me a fanatic, but I'm a big fan of the AI rounds if for no other reason than I never have to trim. Gotta say the a-max...

    Gunsmithing Any fixing this or scrap metal

    At some point you just have to shut down and re-tool.... I'd say turn that action into a nice mug handle or something.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Carry while not wearing Jeans/Pants

    Plus 1 on the kahr PM9! Perfect size! I use one with a hogue handall Jr on the grip always tucked in a Crossbreed Minituck strong side. Conceals well under all but the smallest T-shirts.

    Bullet Failure Midair disintegration

    Too long a vacation away from snipers hide. Ruffled my feathers when I got kicked off for trying to sell bullets before I got to 100 posts. Oh well, that'll teach me to read the rules huh? So I still have the a-max bullets that were failing. Never sold them. The new idea is to coat them...

    Bullet Failure Midair disintegration

    Re: Bullet Failure Midair disintegration Wow 4000+ fps. I've never owned any calibers in that realm. Hows the copper buildup at those speeds? I noticed significant copper fouling with my 6mmAI as compared to my .308.
