    Upgrade Barrel on MPA-Savage or buy a MPA Pro

    Good point about there not being many savage style custom options. They’re out there but not sure I would want to go that route over the MPA pro just due to the hassle. Again, unless you’re just absolutely in love with the savage style action. If you are companies like Northland Shooters Supply...

    Goodbye Kimber....

    Sorry for your loss, it’s hard. I put down my dog of 15 yrs in June. Was like losing a child. Best wishes to everyone in your family. It’s not easy.

    Upgrade Barrel on MPA-Savage or buy a MPA Pro

    Get the MPA pro. You won’t regret it. Speaking from experience on both rifles. Well kinda, I use a Savage 110 as one of my hunting guns and the MPA BA for competitions. Have you considered a custom action, barrel, and trigger combo slapped into the MPA lite chassis. I don’t think that’s a bad...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II

    I’m definitely glad to hear that the issues people are stating aren’t the norm. I have yet to experience any challenges with the ones I have, but did have a buddy who had an Xtriii that he had to send back bc of a turret issue. He did get it fixed quickly but sold it not long after. And you’re...

    Rifle Scopes Burris XTR II

    Own 3, a 1-4, and two 5-25 SCR mil. I always liked the 1-4 even though I’m not a BDC fan. The two 5-25 scopes were bought at a decent price. Glass isn’t great at higher mag and really starts to show it’s weakness past 15x in my opinion. However to 15x it’s a decent picture and field of view...

    Looking for 1000+ in Florida

    Hey guys, Has anyone been out to Shedd Farms. They have a range out to 1k. It’s by Lake Butler form what I gather, a little west of Raiford and East of Lake City. Has anyone ever shot there? I know that there are a lot of privately owned farms and places similar to this that have the space to...

    I pulled my kid out of public school

    One of the biggest misconceptions is that teachers get paid 12 months for 9 months of work. That’s a lie. Depending on where you’re at teachers will have to work a minimum of 180 days which is 9 months or where I teach which it’s 196 days which is 9.8 months. I as well as every other teacher...

    I pulled my kid out of public school

    As much as I agree with you, there are plenty of teachers that want to go to work I’m one of them. My wife, sister, and mother in law who’s a principal as well. The problem is without a full teaching staff you can’t do anything. So those like me who want to work can’t if the school doesn’t...

    I pulled my kid out of public school

    I appreciate it! Definitely have a few crazy stories, but all in all it’s good most the time. In today’s world one of the biggest challenges is trying to get parents and students to understand the value in struggle and productive failure. Every kid wants success and their parents want it for...

    I pulled my kid out of public school

    I don’t know where you’re at, but as a high school Chemistry and Biology teacher in Florida I know that our unions do not represent the teachers. In fact the vast majority of the teachers I know are generally displeased with their union all over the state, regardless of the side of the isle that...

    Maggie’s The Shit you see on the range

    Definitely had a few issues that have put me on edge from idiots trying to clear jams with the gun point right at me and their finger on the trigger to a jackass shooting on a cold hundred yd range w three people down range. Claimed he didn’t see us and thought he was the only person. Guy didn’t...

    Rifle Scopes New to the sport and seeking help!

    I think you made a great choice with the MPA. I’m biased as I love mine! Finding a range that meets your needs can be a challenge. I second the suggestion of using something like a .22 trainer as it will definitely help refine skills as trigger time is huge. I know I’ve seen it echoed on...

    Rifle Scopes New to the sport and seeking help!

    I suggest that you segment your searching into categories like shooting technique, gun, glass, etc... make subcategories within those. Once you have created the topics of research you can go forth and read up. If you’re main concern is optics right now then I ask how much experience with...

    Looking for 1000+ in Florida

    I could be wrong but I don’t think so. If one of the ranges is open like that I’ve never heard of it. I’m pretty sure all of their ranges have to be reserved through the base ahead of time as a group or organization.

    Looking for 1000+ in Florida

    Best of luck with the move. If your move is slow or have reason to be back around the north Florida area there are a few other long ranges in this area as well. You stated you hadn’t been able to find a good long range. Not sure which ones you’re familiar with. The ones that I know of that are...

    Looking for 1000+ in Florida

    A lot of people from that area come to shoot at this range. Unless I’m forgetting another range near north Orlando, I think VCGHC is the closest for you. Only other thing worth pointing out is they are currently limiting all guns to 30 cal and under with a max of 3200fps. Just an FYI. Not sure...

    Help Me Avoid the Wrong First Rifle

    I second Howa as an option like mentioned above. Have a friend who has one and has been a capable rifle for the price. Otherwise I would say what others have echoed in saving up. Learned a long time ago buy once cry once.
