    Night shooting suggestions for a poor

    Quick update: The wraith showed up, and tentatively mounted and sighted in on a 22 hornet. Last night I worked and lost 9 chickens to whatever is coming around. Today I got things set up. Sight in was easy, but the day mode is grainy as hell, basically useless over 6x. No worries, this is...

    300 winchester magnum

    Like this should be used as some metric for manliness or bragging rights? To me it is a metric for being in stupid places at stupid time and being too dumb to know when to leave. And this coming from a guy required to be dealing with stupid people in stupid places during the night.

    Night shooting suggestions for a poor

    I've been dealing with a heavier predator problem than I've dealt with before. I've always had heavy coyote populations around me but they have never bothered my animals. Neighbors hunted them off aggressively last year and now the foxes moved in...

    Night shooting suggestions for a poor

    I ended up snagging a wraith off of midway last night since they have a promotion on them right now. Hopefully this does the trick.

Neighbors hunted them off aggressively last year and now the foxes moved in. Those little shits are making nightly runs on...

    Fixing strelok dope

    It was me, 100% me. Went out again today, shot a bug hole at 100 and took 1 shot at 300 that was within an inch of my 100 yard group. For a $400 rifle the groups I've been printing lately amaze the hell out of me. The only problem is that they were not the same poa/poi as Saturday. Looks like...

    Fixing strelok dope

    My values in strelok look good (as in no misprints noted), but honestly this weekend was a one of those weekends that was better spent in bed. Everything I touch I broke (not rifle related but still a crap two days). So I'm giving it a couple days and I'm going to reshoot. My luck I shot a...

    Fixing strelok dope

    True, I know that all data points must be verified. What I was trying to get at is that I can shoot out to 500 on my land, but in a few months I want to take this rifle out to sheepdog for a match and since I can't check my drop chart past 500, I dont want to be flinging pills all over the berm...

    I haven't. They are in the podcast section correct?

    Fixing strelok dope

    I've been using strelok for years and usually it's fairly spot on with multiple rifles. Today the data for my rifle was 3" high at 300, and off enough to cause a miss at 500. The 500 yard shots were at a treeline so I was not able to spot the impacts. While it could have been me, the 100 zero...

    Mini Mauser?

    I am a huge fan of mini-action rifles. I run a howa, but sometimes wish that I also added a cz to the stable, they look so well made and you never hear complaints about them. I may snag a cz in 7.62x39 some day for my kids.

    Help preparing for first PRS event (Sheepdog)

    I like the notepad idea. My wife and I often shoot an idpa match and on the way home ask each other.. "so what was stage 4 again?" We are thinking of taking notes to record areas we struggled with, enjoyed, etc. Going back to sheepdog, I have one last question. How is the brass pick up? Are...

    Howa mini HB profile

    So apparently preferred barrels has a very good breakdown of their barrel contours and what sets them apart from each other. If I had spent more time clicking around their site in the first place I would have answered my own questions. =P

    Howa mini HB profile

    I'm trying to do both actually. My wife's howa has the lightweight sporter barrel, and it can't maintain accuracy through a whole day without cleaning. We are also replacing her stock with a boyds, because she is so short and they have best was to snag a 12.5" LOP without paying for a full...

    Howa mini HB profile

    I am just bad a identifying the proper contour. To me a straight taper, sporter, or palma all look the same.

    Howa mini HB profile

    Going to be ordering a howage barrel in 6.5 grendel for my wife's mini to replace the factory pencil barrel. It fouls horribly after 25ish rounds. My question is, what do you think the barrel profile is for the stock howa mini HB? The reason I am trying to get close to it is because we are...

    Help preparing for first PRS event (Sheepdog)

    tl;dr: What do I need to bring to my first match, and what to do on arrival? Its been a long time since I've focused on my rifles. Since the day my wife told me I was going to be a daddy, I lost the bug to collect guns and instead enjoy the ones I have. I started shooting IDPA monthly with my...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell Forge 1-8x30 dimensions?

    Awesome, thank you. I want to mount one on a magnum action, and with 2 screw scope rings I have 5.5 inches on the extreme outside of the scope mounts so I should be just able to squeak this scope onto the rifle.

    Why the hate for leupold ?

    I'm a poor, so I ended up with a few MK4s, one 10x, and one 8-25x. I haven't had an issue with them yet so I have been happy so far, but as a poor I don't get to run them as often/hard as the others do. I had a uso st-10 that I really liked, but compared to the mk4 10x it was noticeably darker...
