    Schimdt Bender 4-16x42 H37 - SOLD

    All PMs replied to. If the current buyer falls through, I’ll let the next in line know.

    Schimdt Bender 4-16x42 H37 - SOLD

    Dang, this is pretty exciting. Here’s the deal: the guy I bought it from didn’t indicate it was anything special. There’s no box or paperwork. I’m assuming by some of the comments it might be something special. Short of calling Schmidt with the serial number, I have no way of knowing. I for...

    Schimdt Bender 4-16x42 H37 - SOLD

    Mil/mil, ffp, no box or paperwork. Just sitting in the safe and need to move. Only trade consideration would be an Impact short action with magnum bolt face. $1750 shipped and insured PP F&F or split fees, Venmo, USPS MO are all acceptable.

    What’s your go to cigar?

    Go to cigar is a Padron 1964 Exclusivo. I had a Davidoff Colorado Claro the other night; been a while but they never fail to disappoint. The Padron 45th Anniversary is a great cigar. I had a box of Avo 80th Anniversary (signed by Avo himself) from 2011-12 or so which were awesome, but some...

    I write my dope on the painters tape. Peel it off when stage is finished and write dope for next stage on new tape.

    What 7mm for a mile

    I shot my 6 Dasher in the range's inaugural ELR match a few weeks ago. Had impacts at 1500 and went 2/5 at 1658. Danced around the 1849 target but never connected. I think I found the limit!

    What 7mm for a mile

    I'll be shooting my 7SAUM with 180 hybrids at 2990 fps at a mile and further the next two weekends. Hopefully I can return with some informative data (although probably not; this will only be the second and third time I've shot that far and really have no idea what I'm doing at that distance).

    Lab Radar or Magneto Speed?

    I've had both. I like the LabRadar better because I don't have to worry about the bayonet affecting my bullet impact data on paper during load development. However, the LabRadar has missed more shots (especially suppressed before I figured out the best way to position it). I never compared...

    7 saum

    Is anyone running the 151 Warner Flatlines with IMR7828ssc? I'm just looking for a starting point for a ladder test at 600 yards. Any help is appreciated!

    WTF? Kestrel 4500, Win 10 BT connection

    I have one of the Dell mini's with Windows10 and it connects to my 4500AB without issue. Are you using the right COM port? I had to fiddle with that on the computer the first time I used it, but haven't had a problem since.

    6mm pill for PRS

    I don't have any experience with 6 Creedmoor. I had a 6x47 running 105 Hybrids around 3030-3050 and it performed well. Barrel lasted about 2400 rounds. I've read that the 6x47 can be a bit finicky to load for, but that wasn't my experience. 38.9 gr H4350 jumping 20 thou seemed to shoot fine...

    Binoculars for spotting

    For steel targets in matches, I've transitioned to using 10x42 Leicas mounted on a tripod. I haven't had any issues spotting hits on steel out to 1000. Out to 1400 is doable most of the time. I've found the binos much easier on my eyes and the wider FOV is greatly appreciated.

    PRS Talk Minimum required gear for a match?

    I 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th the notion of showing up and shooting versus watching and learning. If the match director is worth a shit, he'll ask if you've ever a shot a match before, and if you haven't, squad you with some patient, experienced guys so you learn something.

    Shooting my first comp

    I really like the TAB Gear Silent Ammo Carrier for ammo/brass management. It will hold 100 or so rounds and has a divider in it so the empties don't get mixed in with your live rounds. As for bags, take what you currently have. If you're lacking a piece of equipment, someone in your squad...

    Tripod setup for tactical events and particularly long range hunting

    I have a Trijicon RMR picatinny adapter amount that I attached a swiss plate to. As soon as it gets back from the coating shop I'm going to try it out on a couple AR's then test it on the bolt action. Really like the idea of running it up front and using a bag for support for sitting/kneeling.
