    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    (The worst day at the range is better than the best day at work!) Just a thought from personal experience. Running a radically tilted bipod especially on carpet has a tendency to cause a muzzle rise on recoil (foot skip). Ideally, the bipod needs to be straight up and down and allowed to move...

    Happy birthday new england westinghouse mosin nagant!

    Since it was July 4th, and there are so many things to be celebrated, I decided to take the old Mosin out for it's Birthday. It's a 1915-17 (serial number dates to 1917. Yes, I know it is sitting in a 1938 stock, the original is still in the reclamation process. These Russian battlefield rifles...

    BENCH MOUNT for SPOTTING SCOPE

    I needed a method for getting a solid mount on a scope to use for a video recording targets out to 500 yards. Every tripod I used got the shakes and produced very poor video. I finally went back to my roots and came up with: It's ROCK SOLID. Bessey 3/4" clamp, assorted 3/4" pipe parts from...

    scope mount for tripod

    I used a UTG dovetail to pic rail adapter and drilled and tapped a 1/4"/20 hole in it. That mounts on the tripod adapter plate, a pic rail mounted scope drops onto that very easily...

    What part of Texas are you coming to? If you are going to be anywhere near Austin, holler at me. I would love to take you out to the ARC. (Austin Rifle Club)

    Looks like it's shooting pretty good for you. Doing load workups for me is the most interesting part of getting a new rifle! If you are loading for hunting try the Sierra 130gr GameKings. They produce some excellent groups for me out of the 6.5 loads. Usually tighter than the MatchKings... Go...

    The MPA chassis uses a standard AR style grip. Their vertical with trigger finger rest and same side thumb may fit any AR, I haven't tried it yet. I am going to order one for my MPA chassis. http://masterpiecearms.com/shop/mpa-enhanced-vertical-grip/

    That would be a LONG trip to the range then.. I'm in Manor, a little town in Texas, near Austin. Our local gun club goes to 200, have to drive about 55 minutes to get to the only 1,000 yard range in the area, near Liberty Hill, Texas. Back in the late 70's, I made a trip to upstate NY to install...

    Careful jarhead, when your scope gets longer than your barrel, you MIGHT be a redneck!!! Sweet looking rig,

    Kool. I have been thinking of going heavier on my .308 (not an RPR but a printed and trued 700) What's the twist on your barrel? The McMillian says I can go to 190 with a 1:12 twist.

    What was the distance on those targets?

    Ruger Precision Rifle Discussion

    I agree with your statement. I have experienced a lack of consistency with bullets that I have to load that far back out of the rifling, that being those with very long noses and extended points. One in particular being the Hornady match grade bullets. The closer to the rifling, the more...

    Hard rain and POI?

    EVERYTHING has an effect on the flight path. Distance, direction of travel, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, barrel temp, powder temp. etc..... At 100 yards these effects are minimal, but they do exist. Rain can cause very erratic behavior. But dang, it's fun shooting in the...

    So, I was doing a bit of bullet research today and decided to throw a few .264 bullets through the McMillian calculator. I was a bit taken back, according to spin rate calculations, in the RPR with a 1:8 twist barrel, the lighter bullets should stay have netter stability than the heavier ones. I...

    cleaning regime

    I have several Bob Lilja barrels, and since he is a world class shooter and champion that makes barrels, I tend to pay attention to what he has to say. I clean my barrels after every trip out by passing a patch rolled onto a long jag with a light copper dissolving cleaner (Butchs) and oil...

    This is from my initial ammunition development. I use "ONTARGETPC" to measure my groups.
