New Contest Starting Now! This Target Haunts Me
Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
Picked up one of the new KIlo5K rangefinders yesterday and after playing around with it for a little bit I've got some first impressions. First, why did I get the Kilo5K? I needed a decent rangefinder that would:
1. Range steel out to 1000yds and hopefully beyond.
2. Connect to the Garmin...
That’s interesting. I have a customer that’s sending me a Mausingfield extractor to Cerakote to get the TiNi look. Mixing up a custom color didn’t take too long and it’s a pretty good match.
They are a nice rifle. I used to have a Jeff Cooper edition in .308 and still have one in .376, I’ve not owned one in 6.5 or any other calibers. The built in bipod is an interesting idea but it’s not as robust as a standalone model.
I’m close to pulling the trigger on one of the new Sig Kilo 5K’s. Haven’t found any good on-hands informations about them. Looking for a good rangefinder that can range steel out to 1500yds and pair with the Garmin Tactix Delta AB. May order one tomorro, if I do, I’ll, post my results.
I’ve had the Spotter 45 for a while now and can’t really imagine where the 60 would be better for spotting hits on paper (holes far away). Eye relief/eye box is better on the 45 also.
Mine is still living on my Brocock PCP rifle. No regrets on it, I don’t think there is a better scope out there for the money that can focus down to 10yds.
Cowtown on the northern edge of Phoenix has some longer ranges with steel. Most LR/ELR is done on public lands. A few years ago I ran into an F-class/Palma shooter at the range in Flagstaff and he showed me a spot nearby that you can get out to around 1000yds. Didn’t really make sense for me...
Do you have a stencil cutter with software? I usually mock it up on the computer to see what different colors look like in the pattern. It’s a little tougher to do with color fades. I’ve done some non-traditional colors with digital camo and Damascus but not multicam.
ATF classifies Cerakoting as a gunsmithing activity. As long as the coating shop has an FFL all you need to do is keep a copy of the Form 4 with the can when it goes there and back. SOT is only required to transfer ownership.
Edit: We do Cerakote work, the color can be matched as long as...
As far as the Blaser F3 goes, it was a pretty popular shotgun when I lived in the northwest. I knew a number of people that tried them and hated them due to being hard kicking, others had no problems. I think the issue is the stock design on the original low rib guns wasn’t very good...
My first Krieghoff was a K-80RT set up as a 30” sporting gun, it was a good pawn shop find. Shot the hell out of that gun, worked really well for me. I also had a Blaser F3 Super Sport that I shot well but the stock was far from ideal. When I wanted to move to the Erosign stock I hit a dead...
Pushing this back up to the top. Anybody have hands on experience with the 5K yet now that they are on the street? I’m interested to know how good the ranging is and how good the connectivity to the Garmin Tactix Delta is.
Another thing you can consider as far as stocks go. There are a few “glove fit” stocks on the market now that offer a high degree of adjustability and better hand and finger positioning. They are a very polarizing look but they can work very well. I’ve owned the Ergosign EvoComp and the Grip+...
