    7-300 PRC Initial Results - Winner

    Much the same figures as the 7mm Boo Boo. I went the Warner die path and have not regretted it.

    Anarchy vs Glades Armory

    But no-one is doing a 452 bolt handle?

    Painting the muzzlebrake

    What elwarpo said - BBQ paint that cures with heat (I use the heat from shooting) works very well and is cheap to buy and easy to reapply as required. If you want different colours I use the enamel spray paint from hoppy shops with a colour range suited to different terrains. Don't...

    Rifle Scopes March Scopes

    I use the 52mm SFP version for hunting and find it really good in tricky light situations; especially low light and glare.

    The British Sniper: A Century of Evolution (book review)

    I read a chapter at a time out of order. Then read it again I find something else I either did not know or had missed previously.

    The British Sniper: A Century of Evolution (book review)

    Just received mine. A worthy addition to my library with lots of new details.

    Tikka T3/T3x - Ball Bolt Handle

    Do not go to Glades. Google their reputation before putting any money down.

    Glades armory read me

    Just for those who are also waiting on their goods, or any form of communication, I have reported the issue to PayPal and my credit card provider. I would encourage others to do the same.

    Thanks. I will give it one final go then head to the bank.

    Glades armory read me

    BUMP. I was just about to post the question "Is there a problem with Glades Armory?" but did a quick Google-fu first. This was about the top hit! Ordered and paid at the start of January. Got a UPS delivery email that said the package label had been created but not sent, this was in the...

    King of 2 Miles in France - April, 2019

    A great opportunity to broaden not only the competition base, but to also work through options for future competitions. Good to see things happening outside the US too.

    Rifle Scopes What scopes are you purchasing this year or waiting to be released? 2019 version

    March PSR looks really interesting.

    Rifle Scopes Scope Image Quality Degredation Near Vertical Elevation Limits?

    I'm afraid you may have opened a popcorn thread with that question. I'll throw some key words in - spring, tension, recoil, lens, concave. BR learned long ago to keep the scope elevation and windage central to minimise distortion caused by the lens not being a flat surface (the same as never...

    Lovatt calculator - SMLE Mk VII

    Spoke to a friend of mine, an expert in Full Bore and arcane knowledge. His advice was pointed and blunt. But it is worth repeating in full given some of the weird and wonderful exchanges on SH. "It looks like some sort of psychological crutch for tech nerds who can’t read wind..."

    Lovatt calculator - SMLE Mk VII

    As a son of Empire it looks like a wind deflection scale for Full Bore shooting. The instructions relate to a square range with flags.

    Movie Theater NORSEMEN - netflix

    It is putting 21st century office politics into the 790s. The scenes were filmed twice, once in English and once in Norwegian. It is both hilarious and frightening at the same time.

    Rifle Scopes March 5-42x56 PRS scope

    Have you tried the wide angled eyepiece in a variety of positions yet? I'm interested from the prone sling and layback position - I run both positions at between 8 - 10 power. At 8 power, on a March FX 5 - 40 I can centre the black parallax donut and ride the rifle through recoil but...

    Rifle Scopes Optical center not in the middle of the (elevation) adjustment range?

    Don't blame the scope if the mounting system is wrong, or if the barrel to action fit is off centre. Get your checklist out and check and re-check before blaming the scope. 30 mins of concentrating is worth it and you might find it is time for a new rifle. If you do end up with a new and...
