    223 twist rate

    Re: 223 twist rate Just had a 27" 1 in 7 twist .223 built this winter, still working on loads and have some that look promising. It is throated for 90 gr. Berger's but shoots 69 smk and 70 gr. Bergers very well, also likes 80 gr. SMK and Hornaday 80 gr. Have seen a 30" barrel on a .223 but...

    What do you look for in a local gun store?

    Re: What do you look for in a local gun store? I would think there is some competition in your area, what do the other gun shops not offer? I know price point is a top motivator to buy from certain dealers, nobody likes paying more than they have to. We had a local dealer that did a lot of...

    Hunting fish with a firearm

    Re: Hunting fish with a firearm I had some friends growing up that lived off what their dad hunted and fished for. He would hook a big Catfish (20+ pounds) reel it up close and pop it in the head with a 22. Might not eat if he didn't get it in. I've never done it, wink, wink, nod, nod, but...

    Rifle Scopes NightForce Questions.

    Re: NightForce Questions. You can get either mil/mil or moa/moa. With the high speed turret in mil configuration you get 10 mil in 1/10 mil graduations per revolution. With the moa you get 20 moa in 1/4 moa grads per rev. You can also get 10 moa in 1/8 grads if desired. If you are mostly...

    AR-15: magazine-supported prone

    Re: AR-15: magazine-supported prone In the 3 gun community it is called "monopoding", and is an accepted way to engage targets at distance when no other means of support is available. With a little practice 8" plates at 400 yd. are not an issue. I've had mags that didn't like it, so try the...

    Photos 6mm RAT

    Re: 6mm RAT I have not even shot this rifle yet, but anticipating in the 2800-2900 range with the 107 Sierra Match Kings. (Quote) Might just make it into the 2800 area with the 107's. Mine is a 22" and able to push 105 Amax @ 2740, 87 Vmax @ 3000. Tried the 107's and didn't have much luck...

    I’m shooting a mile in 4 weeks, any last pointers?

    Re: I’m shooting a mile in 4 weeks, any last pointers? Needed 62 moa of elevation from a 100 yd. zero using a 338 Lapua with 250 smk @ 3000fps. Spin drift comes into play at this distance so figure that in. We spotted from the shooting position and it took 8 shots to get on target the first...

    AR Varmint rigs????

    Re: AR Varmint rigs???? Nice thing about AR's is you can tailor them to specific uses by changing uppers. My yote AR is a Cav. arms lower, 20" 1 in 7 twist upper with a 2-7 Kahles scope with TDS reticle. Only weighs 7lb. with bi-pod. Gets me out to 600 on the pesky varmints. For the PD's I...

    Rifle Scopes Buying a USO

    Re: Buying a USO Just my opinion, but I do have both scopes. For the 308 gas gun I'd go with the 1.8-10X37. Mine is actually a 44 obj. but close enough. Does 800 yards no problem, fits the rifle better, can also go on a small format AR if needed. 3.2-17X44 belongs on a bolt rifle, yes I know...

    SHOT SHOW REPORTS?

    Re: SHOT SHOW REPORTS? Remington's new Versa Max shotgun really impressed me, simple design, light weight, swings nice. For an inexpensive 3 gun scope the Burris Fullfield TAC 30 1-4X24 with Ballistic CQ reticle would work well. CZ / Dan Wesson has 3 new competition / "combat" pistols...

    New 308 Lapua brass

    Re: New 308 Lapua brass Got a chance to work on this load again with once fired brass through the same rifle. What a difference it made. ES was 21 and SD was 7 for 5 rounds. Velocity average was 3023 with the 155 scenar. This may work yet. Should be able to shoot this load at 300 to test...

    Rifle Scopes Is a 1-4x enough ?

    Re: Is a 1-4x enough ? I like my 1-4's, but for paper at 500 I agree with the others, 2.5-10 NF or a USO 1.8-10.
