    308 bullets too short

    Your rifle just has a long freebore. If it shoots don't worry about it. When you re-barrel get a chamber cut for your bullet of choice

    The 'heres a little known embarassing fact about me' thread

    I was at San Diego waiting to get out of the USN in '87. I was an E-6 so I was one of the off shift the senior POs on the check-in desk at the transient barracks. Morning after my first night on rotation on mids (read zero sleep) one of the other first classes comes in first thing in the AM...

    Hunting & Fishing What 308 bullet for whitetail.

    If you shoot the 168s for target the 165SGK will probably shoot to the same POA loaded similarly. They did for me. I used them in the past before I started shooting a 7-08 for hunting. There are 2 versions of the 165SGK. One is a spire point the other. Is a hollow point. The HP has a...

    Click on his name on the left side. when the little window pops up click on “ignore” and *poof* all gone. I did it months ago, they don’t even show up when people quote them.

    You should be on the same list with a guy I know who was in a Red Horse Squadron. was in vehicles hit by IEDs like 9 times. Don’t even ride with him to get coffee. Going with you to the pet store, much less hunting or fishing.... suuuure

    What magnification range do you prefer/like?

    Personally I don’t like my hunting scopes with bigger than a 44 objective. For me there are 2 reasons. One is weight, big is heavy, but the main reason is scope height. Getting a good position behind a scope that is 2“ + above the bore in less than ideal position is a pain. I’ve never felt...

    The pistol is a Series 80, about 40 yrs after the war.

    Night Vision LRF range finder with NODs

    What about with a thermal setup. I'd think that the thermal would not be able to see the beam. What options there.

    Range Report 7mm-08 vs 6.5 creed, which is better ballistics

    My favorite hunting rifle is my 7-08. Spun it up about 8 yrs ago when Rock Creek did a group buy on some button rifled line they were starting. Mine has a 24" barrel and pushes a 140 (accubonds or SGKs) at 2900 with 2000MR. It could probably go faster, but don't need to, deer can't tell the...

    Night Vision LRF range finder with NODs

    Yea, that's in theHorta range. I get that quality NV stuff is spendy, but I'm trying to find options that a mere mortal might be expected to over spend on.

    Night Vision LRF range finder with NODs

    I've never used them together so I guess the question is how do you use a LRF on a target that is at say 250 to 300 yds that you can only see in the NODs. For example a weapon mounted thermal scope. How or what LRF would you use to get a range?

    Night Vision LRF range finder with NODs

    What are the options out there for LRF that can be used with NODs. I've seen the Pulsar Trail with LRF and I SiCo made one for a while, but what else is out there? My google-fu is not giving me much satisfaction.

    F T/R Competition Which bullet...for F-TR in 308?

    Not any more likely to pull a round in the ICFRA Full Bore format than in the US string fire format. @milanuk has shot more international than I have but I've shot the format pretty regularly over the yrs (I won SOA in '15 and I've been 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the East Coast Fullbore Championships...

    F T/R Competition Which bullet...for F-TR in 308?

    Your rifle, build it like you want to. Weight is a consideration LA is heavier. I run very heavy barrels, my choice, I like them that way. My rifles make weight by grams not oz. If you run a Phoenix bipod, (one of the 3 favorites in the game) they are heavy, you may be limited to a heavy...

    F T/R Competition Which bullet...for F-TR in 308?

    The 155s are great for mid range. They give up a little to the heavies but they also have less recoil and most people can group them tighter than the heavies so when the wind isn't killing you your Xs go up.

    F T/R Competition Which bullet...for F-TR in 308?

    I'm going to disagree here. I don't know of a single F-TR shooter who uses a long action. I don't know ever shooter, but I am on the US team and I've been doing this since 2011. There are some few who seat short enough to get a live round out, but almost every one of us pulls the bolt to get...

    I live in Eastman, NH. Since I moved up here I have really come to understand the expression "you can't get there from here." Littleton is about 90 minutes for me even though it doesn't look like it should be. I didn't know Alder Brook went to long range. I'll have to get up there and...
