    Range Report Walther PPQ 9mm Tactical at 10 yards

    That is a hot load with Power Pistol....

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Thoughts? 9mm 1911

    STI Trojan and tune the trigger and recoil spring. Also have a 2011 Tactical 5.0 that is getting better with work - have blown out single hole groups at 25 from a rest. That was an eye opener.

    CZ 455 Varmint Tacticool vs. Varmint Precision Trainer

    CZ then use the $$ cost savings to buy the expensive ammo you need to get the results you will need from a 22lr.

    Best ELR cartridge in standard LA

    The 7mm Boo Boo really lead the way for a lot of the big 7mm's we are seeing today. I really love the flexibility of the 68s brass and part of me wants a 257 Banshee (necked now 68s brass sending 100 grain 25 cal bullets out at 3900fps), but again, there are other options now. Running the 7mm...

    Interesting take on ELR matches: Mark and Sam

    Agreed totally. This is the missing element in the current competitions. We are not seeing enough "like against like" shooting (conditions, time, squads) and there is the same grumblestilkskins responses to anything that is not shooting on steel. With the advances in e-targets, I would see 5...

    Best ELR cartridge in standard LA

    So this is what happened to make the Boo Boo extinct? I love my 7mm Boo Boo and it is head and shoulders about the 300WM for accuracy and tuning. I buy 68s brass whenever I see it.

    What scope do you have on your 22?

    No need - find the target at 15 - 20 power and zoom until comfortable!

    What scope do you have on your 22?

    March 5 - 40 FFP. Not only to annoy people but to see the bullet holes at 300m.

    Sling Suggestions?

    Kopfjaeger. Bought it for the name and love it. What a 1907 sling has evolved into!

    Rifle Scopes Anyone else feel the next big thing will be digital?

    and what sort of distances, competitions, activities are we talking about this stuff for? Most people struggle to shoot at 500m, most hunting ranges from 10m to 80m on average. Or are we actually talking about marketing to the Call of Duty generation, who have grown up with this virtual view...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Torture Test Video

    Frankly I would rather be shooting with my NXS or March or Tasco than driving nails into wood. In my country, they use hammers for that.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Torture Test Video

    It is my job to see through advertising BS and to ask the hard questions. But if the punters like the dazzle dazzle and it makes them feel good, all power to them. I still own two of the old NXS but have no intention of replicating any of the tests. That being said, how would people react to...

    6.5x55 or 6.5CM for new build shorty

    About 2800fps MV for those interested. Otherwise the 123 Lapuas work well from the magazine.

    6.5x55 or 6.5CM for new build shorty

    Well I have a 6.5 Swede on a Rem 700 SA action off an AICS with an 18 inch barrel. It can be done and the 130 Bergers can be loaded deep to fit the magazine. Muzzle blast is big but it is accurate and a handy length.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Torture Test Video

    The zero was not changed and the targets were at (max) 50 yards. This is not precision shooting, rather it is a tent peg test lubricated with a hint of snake oil. Good on them I say, but I think it does the brand more damage than good.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Torture Test Video

    Wow! I love good manipulation. Old NXS, shooting the ice at a point which breaks the ice but not the scope, using the empty bit of the scope to hammer into pine, and shooting tannerite at 50 yards. This site used to be about accuracy and precision - not bluster and snake oil.

    Rifle Scopes New Nightforce scope - is this normal?

    Not seeing an issue beyond mild cosmetic.

    How much magnification

    I'd think a 10x would be a useful compromise position.
