    AX AICS Monopods

    What are people using on there AX stocks for monopods? The spike? A BT on the back rail? Just curious, I'm still using a rear bag and thought I'd try something else but can't find any reasonable solutions.

    New to Spotters

    I need a spotter to qualify at my range to use the longer range. I've never used a spotter before, since 20x at 100yards was plenty from my scope. I have many questions. I'll be shooting steal at longer yards not paper. Am I actually going to get a lot of use out of a new spotter? New or Used or...

    Rifle Scopes MIL or MOA

    Re: MIL or MOA This question comes up a lot and there should be a sticky. If you don't know much about either here's how I tell people to pick. Of course make sure the reticle and turrets match. MOA/MOA work better with fractions. MIL/MIL work better with decimals. If you're good with...

    7mm Bullet for 280 Remington with 1-10 twist

    Looking for some suggestion for my first long range class. I got my first Remington 700 in 280 Remington after some good advise from people here. (I wanted a long action caliber with better ballistics than a 308 to learn with, and the long action will let me upgrade to a magnum when I rebarrel.)...

    Bipod placement

    Re: Bipod placement What you've been saying is pretty much my thoughts: Farther out equals more mechanical stability. Close for easier human interface behind the rifle. Seems like a simple trade off of speed/ease-of-use versus stability. Thanks for input.

    Bipod placement

    If I have my bipod mounted all the way out on my fore-rail, I can't reach the bipod while behind the the rifle in prone. I have since moved the bipod back so I can make adjustments to it while staying behind the rifle. I'm not a good enough shooter yet to notice a difference in bipod placement...
