    Guinness world record for open sight long-distance shooting.

    Guinness world record for open sight long-distance shooting.

    Well this is a grossly in accurate statement grounded absolute ignorance. There are in fact several situations to which employment of accurate rifle fire against +1 meter targets at extreme distances are of incredible tactical value on a modern battle field. To suggest otherwise is indicative of...

    QD MOUNT POSITION

    Yes it certainly can cause your zero to shift from a mechanical perspective, I’ve seen vertical shifts usually around 0.1-0.2 MRAD shifts bump forward or back a slot. Additionally it’s going to change your head/body position behind the rifle. The whole trick with accuracy and precision is...

    Calculating true distance to target when shooting downhill

    I always find it funny how much math people are willing to do in effort to calculate something so minuscule, it would be lost well within their actual ability to shoot. 🤣 Knowledge is the amassing of information, wisdom is the appropriate application of knowledge in context to a specific set of...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Steel Case Ammo - G19, G43x, PDP

    I’ve seen 100,000 or so steel cased rounds pushed through school house G19s. Never seen an issue other than that shit was dirty and so guns needed a bit more cleaning.

    Question about Mk12 buttstock choice.

    The optic was from an XM2010 prototype that I procured on my self. It was a tad big for a Mk12 but that optic lived between my Mk12, Mk13 and XM107 (just different zero settings between rifles) which was the reason I had it in the Larue QD mount. Hands down one of the better options at the...

    Question about Mk12 buttstock choice.

    I’ve never seen a Mk12 with a 3 round burst configuration. Everyone I’ve ever seen was built of M16A1 lowers. I am like 99% sure everyone wanted carbine buttstock because they’re adjustable and chick dig them. 😅

    Yes, that is me.

    Left Hand rifle vs adjusting to standard (right)

    So you are citing Hollywood as a viable source? 🤣 This is a about the worst advice I’ve seen all day and falls flat on it’s face the moment you get of the bench and need to shoot and move with any quickness. The support hand drives the gun, not the firing hand. To constantly have the support...

    Army M24 Build Thread

    My guess is a maybe a student gun number from a school house, like as in “rifle #52” (out of…well at least 52 😂)but the number isn’t in a local that I’ve seen durn my time at SOTIC/SFSC. and the location is kinda weird, like you couldn’t likely read it from the rack but that orientation is...

    First AR-10.. DD or Seekins?

    I mean, you’re not wrong …but then again this is the territory of those who always seem to think that they are the exception to the rule. 🙄😂

    Preferred setup on 308/6.5CM large frame?

    And here’s M80 FMJ at 2200fps, still well over 500ft. lbs. in standard atmospheric conditions… Look man, this shit isn’t hard and frankly you’d be better off talking less and listen a bit more. I’ve bounced around various threads and the trend I am seeing is you post a lot of opinions, while...

    Preferred setup on 308/6.5CM large frame?

    You’re missing sooooooo much. I see you seem to be using the Norma Ballistic App…which honestly looks like garbage. I downloaded it to get a look at what you’re look at and all I can say is I am embarrassed for Norma. There’s some serious fucker with it. I’d highly recommend something like...

    First AR-10.. DD or Seekins?

    No, definitely able to isolate the issues with the Daniel Defense rifles. “Student” does not mean incapable. One particular example was a professional shooter who was running a V3. Her performance was well noted by myself and other instructors present from earlier courses she attended. She...

    First AR-10.. DD or Seekins?

    SP10 would have my vote. I’ve seen a lot of great performance out of them. I can’t say I’ve seen the same for the large frame DDs. I’ve seen several students over the last few years that have had issues with large frame DD rifles having POI shifts when shooting off of tripods/barriers vs...

    Preferred setup on 308/6.5CM large frame?

    Bro, what you’re saying does not entirely make sense in regards ballistic data. Ballistic solvers don’t offer a field for barrel length because they utilize the rifles estimated muzzle velocity for calculating solutions. 😐 I ran a Mk17 (13” 7.62x51mm) for the better part of a ten month...

    Preferred setup on 308/6.5CM large frame?

    Ummm… A 168 SMK lobbed out at 2200ish still has almost 700ft. lbs at 500y, While a 77 SMK smoking at 2750ish is only 500 or so ft. lbs. at the 500y mark 🧐 You’d have to start that .308 at subsonic velocity to even start dabbling down into 200ft. lbs. I am not saying a 11.5” .308 is in any way...

    Savage Rifles on the Front Lines

    🙄 The +1250m mark with .308 set in Iraq has been surpassed repeatedly and with boring frequency over the last 15 years of GWOT by multiple shooters across services. I honestly don’t know who they had running their Savages but I could probably narrow it down to one particular group that has that...

    Pronged vs closed tine Flash hiders

    ^this, if you’re not running a can off of it, A2 is hard to beat unless you really just don’t like the way it looks and rather spend $100+ on something new.
