    Catastrophic failure

    Re: Catastrophic failure Apart from being ballistic rated; the glasses should give your eyes protection from shrapnel entering from the side of your head. Not likely in this particular situation but if you or other people at your range shoot at steel at lot, you are always in danger from...

    Easy Chronograph Set Up

    Re: Easy Chronograph Set Up Not work so well for me since I am shooting AR-15/AR-10s but either way works in the right situation as long as a person is regimented and don't skip that step.

    Easy Chronograph Set Up

    Re: Easy Chronograph Set Up You don't need the card, just put your hands in front of the screens and you will see it. Obviousely make sure the gun is unloaded. One method I have developed to avoid blowing up the gun is to put the little plastic bag that the laser comes in right into the...

    Ruined Kestrel by bad batteries

    Re: Ruined Kestrel by bad batteries I agree, most people will not remove their batteries. How many appliance do you remove the batteries if you don’t use it for a few months especially if every time you do, you have to recalibrate? That is correct, 99.5% of them will not. The real...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark6

    Re: Leupold Mark6 Exactly! A bit surprised that they showed it that way since a generous eye box for the illuminated reticle would be absolutely critical for an optic like this. Agreed that it looks perfect other than that little problem. I give high marks to Rob Curtis for disclosing this.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark6

    Re: Leupold Mark6 It’s a good question since the August 5th review of the 1-6x by Rob Curtis: "<span style="color: #3366FF">As a result of using this new reticle etching process, the reticle displays some odd behavior when illuminated. The illuminator has an unforgivingly narrow field of...

    Accushot Mono Pod

    Re: Accushot Mono Pod I have one and to be honest, I don’t like mine. Shooting off it if you are lying on flat ground with carpet underneath (as in your house – yea wouldn’t it be great if we had that choice?), works great and very steady. Shooting outside prone on a mat over uneven...

    Ruined Kestrel by bad batteries

    Re: Ruined Kestrel by bad batteries Dude, seriously and not to be rude but not all long term electrical drainage are the same – and why would you even think they would be? A mild drain like a watch of course would not be a problem. Smoke detectors are designed to work long term and so...

    Ruined Kestrel by bad batteries

    Re: Ruined Kestrel by bad batteries This has happened to me and I have a thread here somewhere describing my experience. The short story is this; Kestrels do indeed collect data when it is “off”. What you need to do are two things. One reduce the rate of data collection to the longest...

    Chronograph setup

    Re: Chronograph setup The most foolproof way is to first sight the gun on to the target, then put a laser on your muzzel and use the dot to center the barrel between the uprights and at the correct height. This way, not only will you not shoot your chrony but you can center the bullet's path...

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce Benchrest 12-42x56 elevation

    Re: Nightforce Benchrest 12-42x56 elevation That is correct. I shoot a 308 and my NSX 8-32x NF ran out of adjustments at 1050 yards even with a 20 MOA cant top rail.

    Rifle Scopes Will 65MOA get you out to 1000???

    Re: Will 65MOA get you out to 1000??? I have the exact scope you are asking about sitting on a 20 MOA base and shooting 175gr SMK, it was fine to 1,000 yards but ran out at 1,050 yards.

    AR-10 Options / Opinions

    Re: AR-10 Options / Opinions Dude, just asking and making sure.... Like I said, if it is true, then it is OK since you are just reporting a fact.

    AR-10 Options / Opinions

    Re: AR-10 Options / Opinions I think past experience is indeed part of the overall deal, so if that is part of a balanced feedback, it is perfectly legitimate. My concern is that the feedback is sometime without any basis or support. Look at it this way, the accusation that the reason...

    AR-10 Options / Opinions

    Re: AR-10 Options / Opinions Take a hint from what the 2011 USASOC Sniper Competition team members used. There were 64 rifles, 58 were gas guns, and 6 were bolt guns. Of the 58 bolt guns 26 were LaRue OBRs and 26 were KAC SR-25/M-110s.

    This is how IMMINENT CASEHEAD SEPARATION looks!

    Re: This is how IMMINENT CASEHEAD SEPARATION looks! Interesting thoughts thanks! My own theory is a little like Bigwheels although slightly different. I think the water on the outside of the case vaporize and the pressure from it prevent the brass from expanding to full chamber volume...

    This is how IMMINENT CASEHEAD SEPARATION looks!

    Re: This is how IMMINENT CASEHEAD SEPARATION looks! “Shooting wet cases and having pressure spikes”, interesting you say this as I had an interesting conversation with my instructor recently about this very thing. He told me that his experience was that the brass from firing wet seems to be...
