    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS specific questions

    I'm not comparing it to an HD, just to an SS. Which 3-15 HD costs $700?

    Tikka T3 Thread

    Sorry, I got lost somewhere in all this discussion. Have to say though, I've never heard of brass scratching as an issue, and I certainly have never seen it with any mags I have. AI, Accurate, MDT. Larue, KAC and Magpul (last three for gas guns and the Fix).

    Tikka T3 Thread

    I love both Mcmillian and Manners stocks. If you need a less expensive option that gives you all the adjustment you could want, the KRG Bravo is very close to something like a Mcmillian game warden. I like making my guns look good (see my above comments about BallisticPrimate's T5A guns), but...

    New RRS Tripod and Anvil-30 Feedback

    There is like a 4oz difference between the 2's and 3's, so even for me, packing in the field is not an issue either way. I went with the 3's, and though I have not yet tried the 2's, I'm extremely happy with my choice. I've talked to a few guys who have access to both, and they agree that the...

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS specific questions

    I agree with most of what's been written here, though my SWFA experience has been more recent only. However, in the $700 "range" the Bushnell LRHSi deal from GAP, at $750, is likely the best scope for anything close to the money. Period. On the other end, the SWFA 3-15 SFP costs much less...

    The Fix from Q

    That's too bad, but sounds kind of amazing they let the Fix pass. I hope you enjoy it, and can get the stock folded at some point.

    The Fix from Q

    That's awesome, congrats! Out of curiosity, on what grounds could they ban it? My Fix does not like the Federal 130 Bergers. Won't do better than about MOA. I have no idea if others' might like it, so you might at least try it if you can. It shoots great in my other guns. For hunting, the...

    POI rises, velocity doesn't. I'm baffled.

    Glad you got it figured out, that stuff can be very frustrating. I had a somewhat similar issue last Sat. Took a known verified gun, to a known verified range. A month ago, when it was slightly hotter, all my trajectories were spot on from my Kestrel. Sat., the same dope was giving me high...

    Advanced Marksmanship Best technique for consistent .75 moa or less shooting from a tripod.

    Not at all, I appreciate your input here. I completely agree about simpler being better, which is the main reason I'm such a fan of the RRS setup. It doesn't actually require anything, in order to make fast accurate hits. Much more so than any other tripod setup I have used. Any complicating...

    Has anyone reviewed the new Tubb rifle?

    No doubt about the cartridge versatility or the lack of left handed Fix options. I wasn't trying to say that the Fix is a replacement for the Tubb Rifle, just that it checked many of the same boxes, for me, and at a lighter weight and possibly with less fuss. That's good to hear about the...

    The Fix from Q

    Haven't measured mine but it isn't light. I usually prefer heavier triggers anyway.

    How much does the angle of the target and/or angle of the scope matter on a tall target test? (Do the scope and target need to be perfectly parallel?)

    I don't know for sure, but that amount of error has been seen by at least a few people in a few places. I believe that Ronnie Barrett has seen that at his facility for a long time now. NF has also seen this issue, and one of them told me about it, as I was having a similar issue at 100 and...

    Advanced Marksmanship Best technique for consistent .75 moa or less shooting from a tripod.

    What I suspect, is kind of what I thought from the beginning. There may be a more precise way to shoot off a tripod, but given real world targets and the ease, simplicity and speed of just using the tripod, it probably will not matter. As I think I said before, this is a bit of an academic...

    Advanced Marksmanship Best technique for consistent .75 moa or less shooting from a tripod.

    This seems to be turning into a diary. :) Shot some groups at 200 yards today. Without the cam, I shot a sub .75 moa group, right at 1 3/8". With the cam loc, I shot a 1 moa group, right at 2". In fairness, there was a bit more 9-3 wind for that group, and I may not have adjusted...

    New RRS Tripod and Anvil-30 Feedback

    The Anvil 30 is much lighter than the Leveling base, and according to RRS, is supposed to be as stable as the leveling base, but have as much adjustment as a ball head. The 30 also has a pic rail clamp within its arca rail clamp, so it is very versatile for different weapons. I am amazed at...

    Sounds nice, please let us know how it turns out. What do you plan to use it for? Any idea on the expected weight?

    New RRS Tripod and Anvil-30 Feedback

    I love mine. Doesn't shoot differently for me then the older legs and ball head did, but they are just awesome tripods. Take a look in the advanced marksmanship section, we have a thread going there right now.

    What caliber/length/profile? For what purpose? I've long thought about a proof, but haven't made my mind up yet. What stock will it be in?

    No doubt, the Tikka is a cost conscious action. I guess I'm still amazed at what they accomplished for so little money.

    Tikka T3 Thread

    In what way? My Defiance is an awesome action/gun, but while the tolerances are much tighter, I don't know if it can be said to be smoother. I suspect that much like glass quality, everyone views action smoothness a little differently. I think that the tendency of an action to bind is part of...
