    Rifle Scopes Leupold VX-R 3-9x40mm

    It is not a great ranging reticle. It is much thicker than the regular TMR reticle, and at the 600-700 yard range, covers a lot of target. For hold-over, it's just fine, but isn't ideal for milling. I have a 3-9 vx-r patrol with the red firedot. I like it a lot. The glass is great, it...

    WeatherHawk meters?? Good/Bad?

    I'd like to see them offered at the website. I have a Kestrel, but only one other guy in our section has a weather meter. I think it's just the cost (cops are cheap and poor to boot). Something that performs similarly it a lower price point would be welcome, IMO.

    F T/R Competition Novice F-Class beginner idea

    Any and all tips and tricks welcome. I am not super-dedicated to the sport per se, but I am a sniper for my department. Any and all trigger time is time well spent, and any tips and tricks that make me better are welcome. I have not shot much f-class, and just shot my first match in at least...

    F T/R Competition Novice F-Class beginner idea

    I very much enjoy taking him shooting. He beat me at a round of sporting clays this weekend. Hopefully, he'll catch the rifle shooting bug, and will kick my ass at that later on. I got yelled at for putting it on the table.

    F T/R Competition Novice F-Class beginner idea

    Figured I'd post an update. I bought the 26" Wilson barrel, and it arrived today. I swapped it out, and before I was able to make it out to the range, the sky opened up. This rain crap is getting old. The barrel is very long, and I didn't realize the gas block was further forward (looks like...

    SPR

    Actually try some 77 grain if you have them. I have a 9 twist barrel that likes them much better than the fed 69gr gmm. I keep hearing about 1-9 not being able to stabilize that round. I have 2 barrels (a 20" armalite and a 16" colt) that shoot them very well.

    Rifle Scopes 5 vs 10 mil turrets

    I prefer the 10 mil turret I have now over the 5 mil I had previously. My eyes are over 40 and I have trouble with close-up stuff, but I don't have issue seeing the NF 10 mil marks. I would not go back to the 5 mil/rev turrets.

    TAB shooting mat and gear sling

    I carry the TAB mat in my snipery stuff. I't small enough to stow in my bag. It's not thick and comfy, but it covers sticker, gravel and hot roofs. It's invaluable for that if you are going to be in a static position for awhile. All of our sniper team members have one, and I have no...

    What do you carry in your data book?

    I use a combo of storm and impact pages. Some things I like better about each (setup, pages, target types, etc). I've got both, and just made what works best for me.

    That SKS kicks ass. It's got everything! Awesome bipod, extended mags, sweet-ass scope and mount, super-mega muzzle brake. That thing is the bomb.

    F T/R Competition Novice F-Class beginner idea

    I ordered the above-listed barrel. Worth a shot for the money. We went out and tried a few different bullets in the barrel it wears now. I was able to get sub-MOA groups (two, 5-shot groups were each right at 3/4" at 100) from the 77gr loads. Didn't try the 80 grain loads, but as-is, it...

    Thanks drifter. I'll give them a call in the AM.

    I just wish I could get ahold of a decent barrel in a timely manner without stepping up to a Krieger. When is all the AR madness going to stop?

    F T/R Competition Novice F-Class beginner idea

    I guess just loading 69gr bullets in it would be an option. Pull some bullet, pour the powder back in, and test it out to make sure it shot OK. Likely be a slower load, but good enough.

    F T/R Competition Novice F-Class beginner idea

    The problem is, who wants a post-ban 1-9 twist Armalite? And bolt guns generally don't come with an 8-twist barrel that I'm aware of, you you're still talking about replacing the barrel. I can replace an AR barrel in 30 mins. I have to pay a smith quite a bit of money to replace a rem 700 or...

    F T/R Competition Novice F-Class beginner idea

    My 15-year old has started getting interested in shooting more lately. I recently started shooting the occasional f-class match with my work rifle just for trigger time. The boy asked if he could come along, and maybe shoot. So, digging through the safe, I come up with this older AR that...
