    Bartlein vs PVA Osprey

    You know Josh from PVA here right? @bohem They are his barrels. Hit him up and I am sure he’d give you all the info you want. Having had a few of his Osprey barrels in different calibers I am more than happy with them. https://patriotvalleyarms.com/

    Bartlein vs PVA Osprey

    You should try an Osprey. I would bet you wouldn’t see much if any difference.

    Optics/vision folks - Are my eyes just effed up?

    Then get those eyes checked. As mentioned that lasik doesn’t last forever.

    Optics/vision folks - Are my eyes just effed up?

    March talking about FFP or SFP with their directions? Never heard anyone say turn it all the way down before and don’t plan to change but curious.

    What a good gunsmith

    Send the barrel to a smith and have them make a prefit for you. Contrary to what some think a smith does make a prefit. lol Find a good smith that will spin you up a prefit and send him the barrel and put it on when it gets done. Simple. No need to ship the action out and add more cost and...

    Bartlein vs PVA Osprey

    Yup Josh said it above in his post. Send them whatever blank you like to use and they can spin it up. Also I believe they still keep the measurements of your action, if it’s not a set prefit action, so you don’t have to send it in again. He did it for my Surgeon action so I didn’t have to send...

    Optics/vision folks - Are my eyes just effed up?

    Got the scope on max power and parallax? Might need another lasik procedure or get back to glasses but only your doctor can tell you that.

    Bartlein vs PVA Osprey

    Yup I have a few Bartleins that Josh made prefits with for me. He does great work.

    Long range build advice

    No. I just put a little grease. Some use anti seize but not needed.

    New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

    Very interested in your results as I will be getting one next year. I am sure it will be great like the other Ospreys.

    Bartlein vs PVA Osprey

    How do you know you wouldn’t like them unless you try them? And the Osprey barrels are a good touch higher than decent.

    Bartlein vs PVA Osprey

    Same here. Bartlein are excellent and so are the Ospreys. Have used the Bartlein for many years and the Ospreys since they came out and you really can’t go wrong with either. Super easy to order up an Ospreys prefit on the PVA site and @bohem Josh will get it to you how you want it for length...

    Stupid question Monday, has anyone considered shooting an opposite handed rifle?

    Eye dominance doesn’t matter. I am cross eye dominant and right handed and shoot right handed. Been doing it almost 40 years now. It helps when I swap to left handed and shoot but never thought it was a good idea to go to a left handed rifle just due to eye dominance as it’s much harder to...

    Stupid question Monday, has anyone considered shooting an opposite handed rifle?

    A lot do as they are trying to test the shooter. Get them out of the comfort zone.

    Stupid question Monday, has anyone considered shooting an opposite handed rifle?

    What if he only has one leg? Or one arm? Improvise, adapt and overcome lol You can only work with what you have.

    Stupid question Monday, has anyone considered shooting an opposite handed rifle?

    Was just wondering. Got to do what works for you.

    Stupid question Monday, has anyone considered shooting an opposite handed rifle?

    I’m cross eye dominant also and never slowed me down using my right eye for matches. It helps when shooting weakside but you don’t need to use your dominant eye to shoot.

    Stupid question Monday, has anyone considered shooting an opposite handed rifle?

    Have you tried to use the left hand on the trigger? It’s much easier than bending your right hand back to the trigger. At least for me. Takes a little getting used to but becomes much easier with use. And yup they are. I switch to left when in a tight corner or a place where right is too much...

    Stupid question Monday, has anyone considered shooting an opposite handed rifle?

    Yup Jacob is good about that and it’s a skill a lot have lost as it’s not cool to shoot weakside anymore in matches and people bitch when it’s thrown in. When you say running normal right handed do you mean pulling the trigger with the right hand or just irking the bolt? When I shoot weakside...
