    Ellite Iron Revolution Bipod

    Since we were hunting the only time I had the rifle in the field for extended periods, we mostly shot the SMK. But we ran out of them and started shooting the DTA stuff on the last day. They claim velocity 3080 FPS. I think I chrono'd them at more like 3000 - which is what field conditions at...

    Kestrel's Barometric pressure, do you need to "true" it each day of use?

    OK, now you're over my head. What's "density altitude"? I just recently switched to using baro pressure instead of altitude, and the results were very good. We would go to our shooting location, I'd check the pressure, enter into shooter, and we were off and running. IMHO, shooter is better...

    Kestrel's Barometric pressure, do you need to "true" it each day of use?

    It had us spot on with a DTA HTI in 375 CT and an Armalite AR-50 even with some educated guessing about velocities. In fact, this young lady hit the 825 yard gong on the first shot in a 15 MPH wind with 5 MOA wind dialed in with American Eagle 660 grain ball. Two shots later she whacked this...

    The Starlight 54" ID long barrel rifle case compared with Pelican 1770, 1750, SKB 50 cal

    I've posted before about gun cases and extra long cases for your long/long range rifle. Here are some summary comments: Starlight: solid case, but my other Starlight, the standard 52" ID case purchased in about 2005, compared to Pelican and Storm, suffered from lack of wheels (an add-on...

    Ellite Iron Revolution Bipod

    Walther - Sorry to "detour" your thread (but I hate to write a bunch of info for only one person to see/benefit from, so.....). My only complaints about the LRA so far are the inability to shoot uphill or to be on a downhill plane shooting across a canyon. In the field in these situations, I...

    Problems with stability of Swarovski ATX 95mm scope

    I agree with that last sentiment. you would have to come use my scope to fully understand. If you just barely touch the focus ring at 70x, the thing vibrates so much that you cannot focus - becuase the image is so degraded by motion while you're touching the focus ring that you can't focus...

    Ellite Iron Revolution Bipod

    Walt, THANKS so much for the detailed reply. It's nice to compare notes on these rigs. I cut the NF rubber from the cord and cut a notch in the bottom so it would clear the rail - worked great - until I lost it. I figure that the sunshade prevents most stuff from getting on the objective...

    Rifle Scopes help me find learn about spuhr mounts

    I went through this too. first need to know what gun it's for. Probably a picatinny, but they make ones specific for TRG etc also. Then ring diameter Then height. For AR15 and DTA (straight line) your probably want High. Ultra high is due out soon. Then taper. They make flat, 44 MOA, and...

    Kestrel's Barometric pressure, do you need to "true" it each day of use?

    My understanding is that all this confusion arises because of weathermen at different altitudes wanting to be able to compare notes on baro changes that are predictive of weather patterns. So they want to reference/correct everything to sea level. After they do that, if the pressure drops...

    Ellite Iron Revolution Bipod

    I've been looking at these because my LRA is not tall enough on my HTI. I await the leg extensions and the QD hardware kit. At that point, I will have $600+ in the LRA and I'm beginning to think I should have just gotten the EI. Practical questions: 1.) With the legs extended is the front of...

    Is a rangefinder a "necessary" part of LRS?

    Consider this: Buy a used Swaro or Leica. It will take a while before you can shoot beyond where these can range. When you outgrow it, sell it and get a Terrapin (assuming they're still made.)

    Would there be interest in a 340-360 grain 375 Cal A-max? Need a little more info...

    I'd buy 500 of a 375 caliber 350 AMAX if it were even close to the 350 SMK in BC. We shot several deer past 1000 yards recently with the 350 SMK and they expanded like depleted uranium

    Is a rangefinder a "necessary" part of LRS?

    The essentials appear to be: Capable gun with scope with elevation +/- windage knob(s) known ballistics/velocity/drops/coefficients Range finder and windage/weather/elevation measurements Spotting arrangement (you getting back on target, or a competent spotter with spotting scope or rifle...

    Problems with stability of Swarovski ATX 95mm scope

    I took the scope to the local camera dealer and tried it on a fluid video head. There was no difference. I'm hoping the SS Rail II helps. If not, I'm going to ahve to live with it. I may try to spread out the legs of hte tripod and weight the center pole to see if htis helps esp in the...

    Rifle Scopes ATACR or NXS

    Differences b/t Beast and ATACR I handled a Beast at 2013 Shot. It has 40 MOA per revolution, IIRC, and this is accomplished by 1/2 MOA clicks and a lever that bumps you to the next 1/4 MOA. I have heard reported that it is this feature that has been failiing and may be the hold up on the...
