    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    It will be interested to see how this newer cartridge performs, I know I'm really excited about it. It's basically what I've been dreaming about for the last couple years, and GAP deserves kudos for developing it. I think they did an amazing job with their Extreme Hunter. If you have the...

    New GAP Extreme Hunter in 6.5 SAUM

    Alright...I'm jumping on this bandwagon. I've been using a custom .260 for my deer/lope gun for the last several years, and although I've been impressed with what a 140 Amax at 2850 will do on game, I've thought about what having 6.5-284 performance (similar to my competition gun) would be...

    2014 TBRC AAR and Pic Thread

    I would echo the above comments. VU and the Ro's were great. It was good to see the guys I know, and meet new guys. Special thanks to Brian Sanders for putting us up, driving us all over the place, and Answering my endless questions. Also many thanks to Francis Kuehl who lent a guy he barely...

    Connecting Rangefinder to Kestrel Applied Ballistics

    Am about to purchase a Kestrel Applied Ballistics model, and was wondering if any rename finders will communicate with it (via Bluetooth or cable) and feed the Kestrel range and target direction for ballistics computation. That would be super cool...Just shoot the range and whamo..get your...

    Sniper’s Hide Cup Official 2013 Sniper's Hide Cup 5/23 - 5/25

    This was my first time at a long range match this big. I absolutely loved it and will be back next year. Turns out I had a scope problem. The conditions were so tough the first two days I couldn't even tell! The last day was calm, thats when I figured it out. Stages were fantastic and...

    Sniper’s Hide Cup Official 2013 Sniper's Hide Cup 5/23 - 5/25

    Re: Official 2013 Sniper's Hide Cup 5/23 - 5/25 Is this a lost brass match this year? I assume it is -it's hard to run these matches otherwise, but thought I would ask given the high price of ammo and quality brass. Thanks and I look forward to this match!

    June 2012 Stillwater Tactical LR Steel shoot

    Re: June 2012 Stillwater Tactical LR Steel shoot This was a great match! Challenging but fun, both in terms of shooting skill and physical challenge. Course was like a mini-ITRC, but has the potential to be as big. I loved the mix of the two courses. One course challenged your long...

    Groups @600 yrds

    Re: Groups @600 yrds I don't think the amaxs will work very well in a semi. I tried, but they were too long. The 77smk and 75hornady hpbt work very well in my JP with Varget.

    GAP-10 vs building

    Re: GAP-10 vs building My GAP upper in .260 made me competitive against very nice bolt guns, shot by some very good shooters. They were surprised that a semi could shoot that well. Keep in mind, These were tactical matches not benchrest. Only one bolt gun ever beat me in the years I...

    GAP-10 vs building

    Re: GAP-10 vs building Doesn't it depend on your goal? What is your definition of accuracy? Is your goal to be a competitive shooter? Is your definition of accuracy .5 MOA (or less)? Is that with one magic load or a variety of loads? Do you want a gun that will bang steel silhouettes at...

    Rifle Scopes Eyes get fatiged and blur after being on the scope

    Re: Eyes get fatiged and blur after being on the scope How old are you? I noticed the same problem after I turned 40. I talked to my eye doc. As you get older, your eyes don't focus as fast (or as well) as they do when you are younger. That's my problem anyway. I try to not fatigue my...
