    Looking for economical tripod for “observing”

    So I just saw this setup while looking at the hog saddle website. Has anyone used something like this or know what parts these are. If it works well this looks like what I need. Compact, looks sturdy, like I could leave everything together and pull the entire head our of a pack and mount on a...

    Looking for economical tripod for “observing”

    Thanks for asking this Cold Bore I am looking to do the same thing. I mostly shoot prone but I want to setup an observation tripod as well. What are you putting on yours? Id like to get a leupold mk4 spotter, a terrapin (plrf5 not the new terrapin x) and a kestrel on there. Do you already know...

    Kestrel... essential or just nice to have?

    A kestrel makes you a better wind caller. I always make my wind call and then measure with the kestrel. You can bracket the gusts by watching the kestrel...make a mental note of the speed at the let offs and the max speed at the pickups. It calibrates your eyes and ears for the wind that day. To...

    Rangefinder for coyote hunting

    I havent used the new vectronix terrapin x, but I do have the older terrapin. I ranged a large tree stivking up from a distant treeline tonight from my front porch three times...4446, 4445, 4447 yards. I ranged the wire of a powerline, not the tower, just the wire against sky at 257 yards. This...

    Is Black Death coming to a town near you ?

    This is a good point, and is mostly true. The problem is the competent line worker you mention is probably least likely to get promoted. I found in government that the culture of incompetence comes from the political yes men that usually don't like working with competent people that will show...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Are my sights the problem on my Glock?

    Every once in a while pistols will ship with the wrong sight installed. Replace them with a good set of nite sights and you will be good.

    Range Report First time prone @ 200

    If you have access to a chrony check the velocity spread on the load that you find shoots the best in your ocw test. If it is more than 30 fps try adjusting neck tension, using graphite on the necks, or adjusting seating depth. Anyway, great start!

    Is Black Death coming to a town near you ?

    Glad my fighter squadrons didn't have your slackass attitude. There is a lot of room between inevitable human error and criminal negligence or utter incompetence. We delegate power and money and training to people to do certain safety critical functions like handle pandemic level viruses and...

    LRF or finish builds

    For unknown target sizes a good lrf is essential, especially if you are shooting moa sized targets or less. I say switch the scope and get out and shoot what you got

    Are you talking about the same cdc that left smallpox vials unsecured in a storage closet? Lucky the cleaning lady didn't toss em in the trash. I trust nothing government is in charge of. Nothing.

    Help setting rcbs 9mm luger seating die

    Be careful guys, 9mm is very pressure sensitive to seating depth. You for sure don't want to be in the lands!

    Your thoughts on stepping up from .308 to .300WM

    That why I built a heavy 7rm. Fantastic performance, 6.5 mils to 1000 and only 45 in of drift in a ten mph full value crosswind. With a suppressor has less recoil than my unsuppressed rem 5r 308. You can actually learn the wind just as well with a better round I've learned, you just get to enjoy...

    Your thoughts on stepping up from .308 to .300WM

    Almost anything will help you over the 308. About the only thing it has going for it is it is very easy/forgiving to load for, and component availability. Research the 6.5s. Something like a 6.5 creedmore or 6.5x47 would be similar in size and recoil to your 308 but much better in the wind. Or...

    Finally, a prototype for an adjustment device for LRF

    Spuhr looks good...so you can line up the rf and the spotter now?

    Finally, a prototype for an adjustment device for LRF

    Starbuck is that an extra magnifier on the vectronix? How does it work/mount and would it work on a terrapin? If so Where do you get it?

    Homemade Case Lube

    Imperial. You will never have a stuck case. After sizing just a quick twist in a rag wetted with alcohol and it is clean. Less than 3 sec.
