    I hate thumbhole stocks, but that is one sexy gun! What's the contour on that barrel?

    6.5 LR shooters

    Limiting myself to a 10 round mag, if the wind isn't too bad I've been able to put up 5 consecutive hits at 1,550 yards on a 24" plate with both 130g Bergers and 140g ELD-M's. Longest has been 1 mile with 2 consecutive hits from a 10 round mag. Both of those targets at about 2,200 ft in...

    Gunsmithing PTG One Piece Bolts and Timing

    Glad you chimed in, because it was your blueprinted receivers for sale that prompted the question! :)

    Gunsmithing PTG One Piece Bolts and Timing

    If one were to buy a trued R700 action could you throw a PTG bolt in it and not worry about the primary extraction needing tuning/timing?

    Rifle Scopes How to explain this to Leupold... (pics attached)

    In the end did you get a working scope back? I really like the scope for the hunting gun I was planning on putting it on, it checks a lot of boxes for what I wanted, without the extra weight.

    Rifle Scopes How to explain this to Leupold... (pics attached)

    Rings were not the same as one scope is a 34mm tube and the other a 30mm tube, but both sets of rings were Seekins Precision torqued with a wrench to correct specs. I've read a lot about parallax issues with Leupold scopes so I've always been a bit paranoid in how I adjust for it on the scope...

    Rifle Scopes How to explain this to Leupold... (pics attached)

    Scope in question is a VX3i LRP that has gone back to Leupold once already and they said nothing was wrong with it. I've noticed some strange issues with it since I've gotten it back though (same issues I had before I sent it in). On a known accurate gun with verified good scope I can put 5...

    AB Zero Height/Offset and CDM (Garmin 701)

    Correct on the values to input on the 701, they are backwards until AB (hopefully) updates the firmware to correct this. In your hypothetical situation I would go ahead and enter the offset. The zero offset isn't just for shooting different loads, it can also be used exactly as you describe...

    308 Beyond 1K YARDS

    That 12 twist is gonna hurt you, but at least it's not in a 20" barrel. I've been very impressed with Berger's 180g Elite Hunter. I've pushed it to 1,500 yards with a 4th round hit. Know your wind, have a good spotter, and hopefully you'll have target placement where you can see splash.

    Foretrex 701 not calculating zero offset?

    You can switch around your horizontal (windage) offset as well so you don't have to manually calculate anything windage wise.

    Foretrex 701 not calculating zero offset?

    Yes, I ran into the same issue. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/foretrex-701-zero-height-offset-backwards.6918939/ The problem is the zero offset is BACKWARDS in the 701. If your zero offset is high, you actually need to input it as a NEGATIVE number, instead of positive, to get...

    Ashbury Precision Ordnance Sniper's Hide Edition Rifle

    I'm assuming this is a factory Remington barrel as the action is listed as the 700 SPS AAC-SD? Which Triggertech model specifically is spec'd? There's some stiff competition at the $2K mark, the Hancock rifle and the MPA BA PMR, and they're both using custom actions...

    Krg bravo likes and dislikes?

    My one and only complaint after shooting a couple competitions with it is the forend is a tad short for my liking. It gets real cramped for space sometimes shooting from a bag on a barricade with a bipod attached. Other than that, love it!

    Foretrex 701 Zero Height/Offset Backwards

    Just got a new 701 and took it for a spin today. I noticed my zero height and offset are backwards though - as in a high zero needs to be entered as a negative value and the left offset needs to be entered as a positive value. This can't be just my unit can it? I'm running the latest software...

    Help interpreting this ladder test

    Thanks, I should have clarified my original post - I'm looking for why I only saw a 35fps increase over 1.8 grains. I typically see a much larger spread in velocity over that charge weight range and the node really sticks out, although I agree 43.4g looks interesting.

    Help interpreting this ladder test

    This was a ladder test with Varget and 180g Berger Elite Hunters. First time using Berger's hybrid bullets. They were seated at mag length, which ended up being .040 off my lands. I've never seen this in a ladder test before, but I've also never loaded a bullet with as much jump as these...

    Need bino’s for PRS match.

    You can't beat a set of 10x42 binos for all around use, I just picked up a set of Maven C1's and have been very happy with them.

    Spotter, angled or straight?

    Angled in all but one scenario - glassing at a downhill angle. I don't find myself doing that enough to warrant straight though.

    Foretrex 701 - Profile Loading

    Thanks guys! Considering one of these for hunting and match use, but already have a GPS and just use a plain old arm board for matches. Kind of a spendy option, but if it could work well for both I could justify it.
