    F T/R Competition Reticle choice

    Re: Reticle choice A toss up for me between the 1/8th dot and the fine crosshairs. I find that 32 power is about all that I need or want and that the ability to move down as mirage dictates is a positive factor.

    Winchester 52 D scope mount suggestions

    Re: Winchester 52 D scope mount suggestions The Vanni seems a bit more secure, but since he is not making them anymore I ordered an EGW this morning. I hope that the part that is essentially cantalevered over the action is strong enough. Thanks for your replies

    Winchester 52 D scope mount suggestions

    Re: Winchester 52 D scope mount suggestions Actually I must have been thinking of my old Winchester 75 as being full of holes. The 52 D only has the rear Redfield installed and two very forward scope mounting blocks that I guess were used for the old very long Unertl scopes. Do the EGW and...

    Winchester 52 D scope mount suggestions

    Re: Winchester 52 D scope mount suggestions I was thinking of something pretty conventional like a 4-12x40. Mostly for club matches (novelty matches such as paint ball shoots, bingo shoots etc at 100 yards). I was looking at a Vortex in this configuration.

    Winchester 52 D scope mount suggestions

    I have a model 52 D that I have had in the gun safe for about 40 years. It has more years on it than that though. I bought it in the 70s and it was an old CMP rifle. It shot well enough for me when I shot small bore in the 70s. I would like to put a scope on this rifle and I am wondering if...

    Wolf match target

    Re: Wolf match target Although I do shoot the Wolf in the few matches that I shoot, I have had good luck for quite a bit less with Winchester Dynapoint. However, I have not been able to find it in the Columbus, Ohio area for the past year or so. As you know by now, different guns like...

    F T/R Competition .260 Rem competitive in F Class Open?

    Re: .260 Rem competitive in F Class Open? Perhaps worth considering is the 6.5 x 55 AI. What do you think about that one?

    Steel targets

    Re: Steel targets I have had some good luck with ARTZEN steel. I use a 1/4" carriage bolt and hang on some PTO belting for tractors (drill hole in the belting and hand from a piece of rebar) and farm equipment that I get at a tractor supply store. The plate is only 6" and even at 200 yards...

    First Long Range Rifle suggestions

    Re: First Long Range Rifle suggestions I have had good luck with the 260 in a bolt gun and I have a friend who shoots an AR in 6.5 Grendel and he can keep up with me all the way out to around 900 yards if the wind is not too bad. He gets some hits at 900 + but the wind really plays more...

    Range in Wester Pa

    Re: Range in Wester Pa I will keep my ears open to see when my friend feels that he can release the name of the place. Zoning, even in a rural area, can be troubling at times.

    Bullet Sorting

    Re: Bullet Sorting Depending on the bullet I may sort by weight if I am paper punching at long range. I will select a sample of 15 - 20 bullets from a box and weigh each one marking the weight. If they are just a few 10ths at extreme spread I will not sort them. I guess it depends what...

    Gunsmithing Can you recommend Jim Caudill "Mauser Man"

    I live in Ohio and heard about a gunsmith by the name of Jim Caudill AKA Mauser Man in Sunbury, Ohio. Are any of you familiar with his work and would you recommend him for a tactical rifle build? Thanks

    Range in Wester Pa

    A few weeks ago I posted that there was a new range under construction in Pennsylvania. It is very near Koppel, Pa. The zoning etc is not complete yet so I was asked not to release the name of the range. Keep on the lookout though. A friend of mine was invited to shoot there and was able to...

    Re: How much ammo to take Most of the matches that I shoot are 20 shots with unlimited sighters in 25 minutes then 20 shots with two sighters in 22 minutes then another 20 shots with 2 sighters in 22 minutes.

    F T/R Competition .260 Rem competitive in F Class Open?

    Re: .260 Rem competitive in F Class Open? I shoot both a 6 Br and a 260 at midrange (600 yards) and find that both perform well at that range. I must say that I enjoy shooting the 6 BR more, just less recoil, not that the 260 is that bad. I agree that at 600 yards the 260 will do fine and...

    Little change in 6BR load resulted in nice results

    I have been shooting a Savege F class rifle in 6 BR and I have been pleased with the results (850 rounds). I was using Winchester Primers and was occassionally piercing a primer while using 30 grains of Varget. There were no other signs of excess pressure and I was getting 100 yard groups...

    Howa's Recommended Barrel Break in Procedure

    Re: Howa's Recommended Barrel Break in Proced I received this information from a friend at Broughton Barrels. Summarizing - shoot 1 clean with copper cleaner, then swab with patch with some synthetic motor oil (e.g., Mobile One) then a dry patch and repeat the shoot and clean for the...

    Kimber was about to make me cry......then I found

    Re: Kimber was about to make me cry......then I found For what it is worth I have had good luck with Winchester Dyna Point. It shoots almost as good as the Wolf Target, but I get an occasional flyer with the Winchester. I have had a problem getting the Dyna Point recently. Does anyone know...
