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!
For those with a Nightforce ATAC-R, do you tend to set the clutch for the zero stop at exactly zero, or do you tend to set it in a way allowing 0.3 - 0.5 of hold under? Having used a Steiner T5Xi for quite a few years, that is default and unchangeable to 0.3 mils of hold under.
Thanks.

Range report: Took the rifle out today for a 100y drill/load validation (action screw came loose...sigh...needed to re-zero/test). Decided to install the 16# spring. All 26 rounds ignited nicely with my practice Nosler brass + BR-2s. Tuesday I’ll be at long range practice and text it with my...
Who might have a dovetail adapter for an Atlas bipod they might want to part with? I'd prefer a BTC-Pro. Once I can find something, I'll install the dovetail rail on my Pro 700 chassis.
Thanks.

I am being vain as fuck and seeing if someone wants my wonderful Magpul Pro 700 chassis simply to replace it with the OD green one. I've used this chassis since launch, I really like it and will be shooting it during this years season. Everything is fully functional, and if someone is...
I’ve spent lots a time dicking around leveling scopes and finally broke down for a Shpur mount. I’m never going to mount with rings again. One piece mount with a bubble in the mount and a mechanical leveling device is so easy and reliable.
My eyes (as with most) do go through a daily cycle. This generally becomes more profound with age. Also, hydration through the day can impact this. Is this something I do _always_, no; but for the absolute best focus, I’ve always found starting with diopter adjustment yields best results. Just...
Whenever the parallax on my T5Xi seems wonky, I reset the diopter and then things are well again. Here’s a link to a method I’ve found works well.

Magpul Pro 700. I’ve been beating one around since their release and will be shooting this season. There are lots of point of adjustment and I do like the overall ergonomics. I’m kinda surprised they are not talked about more frequently.
Also, had a chance to handle one of JP’s new chassis...
Ran the test I wanted today since I was already at my range for RSO training. Shot a ladder to evaluate bolt lift. 5 round at 42.2 - 43.0 in .2 grain steps.
Lessons learned. In 40 deg temps, bolt lift began to get a bit harder at 42.8, and was more noticeable at 43.0. The two groups below were...
Me too. With the ARC Nucleus action, I started with a used Criterion barrel and ran a .2gr ladder from 41.6 up to compressed over a Magnetospeed. The primers started flattening out around 44.2gr, and I stopped there. At 43.2gr the edged of primers are still rounded.
