    Range Report The effects of side to side cant - field test/pics

    Re: The effects of side to side cant - field test/pics This is a great thread. I think this info is especially important for relatively new shooters. So I suggest that this thread deserves a sticky. Anyone else agree? Upon putting a bubble level (Vortex) on one of my rifles, I realized I...

    6.5 Creedmoor, how are you guys liking yours?

    Re: 6.5 Creedmoor, how are you guys liking yours? You're very welcome. I've studied these a bit myself (just acquired a 6.5 Creedmoor that I'll be taking to the range for the first time Sat.) The main features & differences I see are: 1) the base is the same 2) the 308 is tapered a bit more...

    Rifle Scopes Weaver Tactical and Viper PST

    Re: Weaver Tactical and Viper PST I too have been shopping for a scope for my newly accquired 6.5 Creedmoor, and had been trying to decide between the Weaver Tactical 4-20x50 and the Viper PST. Had looked through another shooter's Viper at the range (and several more at local stores) and...

    shooting mats

    Re: shooting mats I've used that Midway shooting mat for a little over a year. It's held up well so far. In my opinion it's a really good deal at half price. No experience with the others.

    Advanced Marksmanship PTS Match Performace Enhancement Class in Bham

    Re: PTS Match Performace Enhancement Class in Bham Ryan, I'm interested in shooting tactical/long range matches, but haven't entered any yet. So, I'm wondering if this class would be a good fit for me? I do have experience shooting out to 700 yards, including a two/day long range rifle...

    how often are you guys shooting your 22's?

    Re: how often are you guys shooting your 22's? I'd prefer to shoot at least once a week, but lately it's been averaging once a month. Usually put about 100 rounds through the 22LR (Sav. Mk II TR) and about 50 through the .223 (Sav. 12 BGTV).

    Advanced Marksmanship crazy shots!!!! lets hear about them...

    How I (accidentially) shot a robin Speaking of golf, way back when I was in high school, about 40 years ago, I was playing a 540yd uphill par 5. Nice drive, about 285-290 down the left but still in the fairway putting me in range of the green but with one small problem - a small apple tree on...

    Savage Bolt action

    Re: Savage Bolt action I have the TR and recommend it. Have added the DIP 25MOA rail and bottom metal, and of course my own custom camo paint job. My last trip to the range it managed a 50yd 0.280 inch (0.535 MOA) 5 shot group, and a 100yd 0.969 inch (0.926 MOA) 5 shot group (all 5 in the...

    Long Range .22lr offhand at 500 Yards

    Re: Long Range .22lr offhand at 500 Yards That's amazing shooting offhand Clayne! The furthest I've tried so far (prone) is 300 yd - thats 50MOA with my Savage MkII TR, using a 25MOA base, so I have a bit more travel to play with. Next time @ the 700yd range, I'm definitely taking the 22LR...

    First outing to the range with the TRR - Pics

    Re: First outing to the range with the TRR - Pics Congratulations on your new Mark II TTR! I have the Mark II TR, and your're right - great fun to shoot. That looks like a pretty good group with the Wolf MT. I suggest you also try the Wolf ME: with my rifle the MT does well: 0.75-1.00...
