    Re: Sun shade, too "mall ninja?" Mall ninjas have the right to a glare-free scope just like the rest of us!

    22lr cleaning question

    Re: 22lr cleaning question 22lrs generally don't need any cleaning at all. To the extent that they do, a swab should be more than sufficient. An old saying is that people do more damage to their rifles cleaning them than by shooting them (or any other type of abuse for that matter). Where...

    Rifle Scopes $99 Vortex Crossfire Range Report

    Re: $99 Vortex Crossfire Range Report I grabbed two of these and took one to the range today. It was mounted on a Savage Mark II (.22lr). Didn't do a box test but the tracking seemed pretty spot on just in terms of dialing in my zero. The optics are very sharp, but contrast is horrible...

    Range Report fastest 155scenar youve pushed..

    Re: fastest 155scenar youve pushed.. A ridiculously good shot at my club (he was invited to shoot on the US Palma Team) loads them HOT, getting around 3000 fps from a 30 inch palma gun. Apparently, he loads so much Varget into the case that it compresses it enough to have to require scooping...

    Range Report Keeping rifle rounds loose v in ammo boxes?

    How durable are loaded rifle rounds, in terms of just being put in a bag/box after loading? By "durable" I mean remain that they shoot consistently. I've always put my rifle rounds in ammo boxes, as I figured I spend enough time making them that they should get some special treatment. But...

    Rifle Scopes Checking a mil dot scope at 25 yards?

    Re: Checking a mil dot scope at 25 yards? Thanks. I'll definitely be using a tape measure. Are errors in doing this test compounded at closer or longer distances?

    Rifle Scopes Checking a mil dot scope at 25 yards?

    I've got a variable mil dot scope and I want to determine what magnification setting gives me an accurate mil reading. The 100 yard positions at my range are fixed, meaning that if I measure it and its off by a few feet I can't really adjust. However, I do have 25 yards of open space in my...

    Advanced Marksmanship Where to read the mirage?

    I'm new to reading the wind, and I'm having a helluva time putting theory to practice in the field. I've looked at a whole bunch of diagrams, read a whole bunch of books, and I understand how mirage works, at least in the abstract. But whenever I get to the range, I can't for the life of me...

    Rifle Scopes 300 yard optics (1st Post)

    Re: 300 yard optics (1st Post) With shoot-n-c style targets, a scope in the $200 ish range will let you see hits at 300 yards. Look at Konuspot 80mm lens, they are well regarded and just over your budget at $220

    Rifle Scopes Kowa TSN-821M

    Re: Kowa TSN-821M Depending on the level of mirage on the day that you shoot, even the Hubble may not be able to resolve bullet holes at 250 yards. Getting a higher magnification eyepiece will only make this work. I would shoot shoot-n-c style targets and use your current eyepiece, and that...

    Hand Loading for Long Range 3: finding start OAL

    Re: Hand Loading for Long Range 3: finding start OAL I've always just used a bullet in a FIRED case and then just measured to where the rifling sets the bullet back. It seems like using the rod and rod stops is just an extra, unnecessary step. A fired case has a loose enough neck that the...
