    Mini 14

    Re: Mini 14 Years ago I met a guy by the name of Douglas Green. He was pitching a scout mount for the mini and said one of the unintended consequences of it's use was a big increase in accuracy. Having owned a few mini's I was skeptical. He gave me a scout mount, so I had to buy another...

    Rifle Scopes Old Super Sniper question

    Re: Old Super Sniper question Simple DIY fix. Get some Dielectric silicone grease available at your local auto parts store. Ask for spark plug boot grease. It's slick as snot, waterproof as snot and won't dry out like snot. It's better than the oft cited soution of replacing the "O" rings...

    Ewing Gen 4 Tri-pod

    Re: Ewing Gen 4 Tri-pod I have one of the previous units. I really like it but it has it's limits. With 1 rod and a medium scope it's ok, but a larger scope will overpower the friction adjustments on the head unless you carry a seperate hex key to really tighten things. With 4 rod extensions...

    Tac Pro Shooting Center

    Re: Tac Pro Shooting Center As with any range, call the ownership for current details. Only the owner speaks for the owner. TacPro is open to the public last I checked, but as a non-member you'll have use of the 100 and 200 yard ranges, 25 yard classroom range, and two 50 yard pistol bays...

    Your M1A Setup?

    Re: Your M1A Setup? Bassett and Sadlak ar re two good choices. Many folks also like the ARMS mount. Just get a set of IOR rings, they're cheap while being durable. TPS is another decent set at fair pricing. Don't Leupold the rifle, mine ate MkIV M3's every 5 to 800 rounds. Leopold will...

    Springfield M21 T what can I do to do it justice?

    Re: Springfield M21 T what can I do to do it justice? Thought the M21 came with an adjustable cheek piece. You can go wit ha Springfield Gen 3 mount to save some cash, looks real cool with the twist knobs on the left side. Couple that with some high rings and 56mm scope and a Law483 tall...

    Success with a Combined Tech 168 Gr

    Re: Success with a Combined Tech 168 Gr The 168 CT bullet works in a factory loading ( Winchester Supreme black box black bullet, nickel case) to 1000 yards rather nicely. It's just that those CT bullets are way over priced for their performance.

    Why is this happening?

    Re: Why is this happening? Three guesses, and they're just guesses without seeing you shoot. 1. Head shifting over the stock compensating for recoil and reposition. 2. Mirage 3. Erector tube crawling on the tension spring, possible although not likely unless you have a bunch of windage...
