    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    After seeing how poorly they performed in the tricky conditions that occurred at last match I was in (despite the top level shooters using them), I will allow the 308 Win to languish in the bittersweet memory of shooting the SLR.

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    Yup. And we solve our shooting problems using the various cartridge solutions available to us in 2019. Gone are the days of 303, 308 and dreaming of a better way.

    Hunting & Fishing Opus Camper

    Cute. No direct experience unfortunately.

    6.5 creedmoor vs 6.5x47 lapua

    Thanks for bringing this thread back to life; I'd managed to bury a lot of its pain in bourbon and cheap wimmin since the posting war. Reading through the PTSD moments again, I cannot help but think of the recent work Cal Zant has done on cartridge selection in PRS etc. It appears from that...

    What scope are you guys using for ELR?

    March GENESIS for the win.

    Rifle Scopes H59 or Tremor?

    To drill down a little bit further, do you think this is a training thing or a generational (CoD) thing? I can see how this system would cut training time, costs and burden - especially when compared with the hours and days I spent on the range. As a social experiment I would love to stick a...

    Rifle Scopes H59 or Tremor?

    Very useful and great info. I suppose my next question is using the LRF in all the competitions? Have you tried it moving targets? I need trigger time to learn and decide.

    Rifle Scopes H59 or Tremor?

    I'm really enjoying this thread and learning a lot so thanks guys. My two questions (I posted in another thread) are based within the competition space. I'm from the "know your DOPE school and am happy to dial for range - but is there a solution here I am missing? Will you dial to the range...

    Rifle Scopes I got mine, Jack! TT Gen3

    Thanks for the cross link. And it really looks a good purchase. I suppose I have two more questions - Will you dial to the range and use the dots as corrections or will you zero at a set range? (Yes I know the theory but what is really happening out of the box) And I saw the reticle "pop"...

    Rifle Scopes I got mine, Jack! TT Gen3

    Love to see a photo through the reticle when and if you can. I have seen the drawings but would be very iterated in seeing it in "real" life.

    Rifle Scopes March vs IOR...

    I'm going with what The German said at the start. Too many electrons have died in vain!!!!!

    2 "Train of thoughts" arising in ELR

    I will try again. The target is the one point of weakness in ELR and is the one that no real development has gone into. I have no great care as to what shape, colour or flavour it is, but I would like to see some kind of medium that records group (at least) and a score (eventually)...

    2 "Train of thoughts" arising in ELR

    Theis, I think you are avoiding one aspect of ELR shooting here by making the conversation an "either/or" statement. To continue the train analogy, without a station the train has nowhere to start and stop. The shooting position is adequately covered. The target continues to be an issue...

    Rifle Scopes Mountain Rifle scope - MARCH 3 - 24 x 42 FFP

    I think we have reached a point here where we are saying much the same thing only slightly differently. I remain happy to have my words attacked but these are my experiences in a diverse set of environments; some similar and some different and that is the way it stands. For Lenny, I am sorry...

    Rifle Scopes Mountain Rifle scope - MARCH 3 - 24 x 42 FFP

    As always the March conversation gets hijack on theory and hypotheticals. As a long time user of both the 42 and 52mm in both hunting and target situations, I would make the following points based on real world experience and testing and re-testing Internet "facts". 1. In a hunting situation...

    Range Report Sub sonic shooting to 800yds with 300 BLK

    I like the 1/6 twist approach. My 30BR with a 1/8 cannot handle the 240s without buckets of vertical so looking forward to your results with the faster twist.

    Rifle Scopes Why are there no Leupold guys in the PRS world?

    Yup. Came off the rails with a crash of egos. Such a good start and I held such high hopes.

    Rifle Scopes Is my scope tracking correctly

    What BigJimFish says. Shoot it more, record the DOPE, plot the variation and crack on.

    Given the price range indicated, why not consider Nightforce?
