    Rifle Scopes Best base for Sako trg 42

    Re: Best base for Sako trg 42 Lots of viable options! I was using the Sako Quick release mount but sold it to a member here. It was quick and strong but... It set higher than I liked, didn't space the rings as far apart as I wanted and I accidently disconnected it during a match when my...

    Bore tech bullets for 338 Lapua

    Re: Bore tech bullets for 338 Lapua Regarding pressure- I dropped from 90 to 89 grains for a 3 shot group because of the faint plunger mark. The 89 grain loading did not show the mark and the primers looked the same as the lighter loads. Check Bore Tech's FAQ They advise to start with the...

    Barrett 82A1 Accuracy Expectations or Suggestions?

    Re: Barrett 82A1 Accuracy Expectations or Suggesti Update- I replaced the extractor. (VERY easy to do) Hand pressure will now easily snap the extractor over the rim (before I had to let the bolt slam home)and live round extraction no longer requires heavy exertion. I am convinced that there...

    Rifle Scopes Springfield Armory Scopes

    Re: Springfield Armory Scopes I was told that they are no longer made but they are still serviced "in house" by Springfield. (This was a couple of years ago-I'm not sure if this is still the case) I have some experience with them (no complaints)and know several people that are using them...

    Re: Barrett 82A1 Accuracy Expectations or Suggesti I appreciate the good comments/suggestions and experiences! and now the rest of the story.... The rifle had been fired less than 12 times and the barrel was cleaned before I fired it. I grouped the 4 shots in two distinct pairs (~1moa at...

    Barrett 82A1 Accuracy Expectations or Suggestions?

    Re: Barrett 82A1 Accuracy Expectations or Suggesti Thank you for the good comments and suggestions! The owner wants to send it back to let Barrett figure out the issues with the accuracy and the trigger. (Do all 82s have an exceptionally heavy/creepy/long trigger pull? The only other Barret...

    Barrett 82A1 Accuracy Expectations or Suggestions?

    Can someone help me out with a couple of questions? What is a realistic accuracy expectation from a Barrett 82A1? Are there any tricks to getting good groups from them that would differ from any other rifle? I am currently test driving one that a friend loaned me. It was fired with some...

    Gunsmithing wylde vs standard chamber (tight)

    Re: wylde vs standard chamber (tight) I have owned and shot numerous Wylde chambered ARs. (RRA 1:8 SS free floated heavy/bull Wilsons) Accuracy has been sub MOA with all of them (50-75 grain Amax, Btip, Vmax, Match) except for the Barnes 62gr TSX. (I was never satisfied with accuracy or...

    155 grain load data

    Re: 155 grain load data I am shooting 155 Amax MOLY in a TRG-22 Lapua Brass CCI BR2 47.5 Varget ~2880fps This is the same load I used with the SILVER Scenars. (sometimes 47.8, but I get some bullet deformation with my Hornady dies) Amazing accuracy and terminal performance (bang flop on 3...

    Hunting & Fishing 338 Lapua Scenar 250 HPBT for Hunting

    Re: 338 Lapua Scenar 250 HPBT for Hunting I used them on a coyote and was very unimpressed. First shot hit neck/shoulder junction. It kept running with no indication of a hit. Second shot (hip) dropped it. (I know, bad hit but it was full tilt at 200 yards) I would go for shoulder shots on...

    Wrapping a Rifle in Camo

    Re: Wrapping a Rifle in Camo I lightly wrapped the barrel of a TRG22 with white snow camo. (Vet wrap like material) A test shot with the wrap was about 1/2 inch from the unrapped impact at 150 yards. I should have fired a few more but I was adequately convinced. A pair of coyotes felt...

    Anschutz rifle owners

    Re: Anschutz rifle owners Depends on the model, but in general I would say.. No. Cheapest versions are not always impressive Good. I've never heard of a bad 54 Splitting hairs but I would expect a 54 to edge out a 64. (assuming similar configurations) The old 64s I've shot...

    velocitors

    Re: velocitors Velocitors chamber fine in my Anschutz. All CCIs are usually very tight. The Stingers will not chamber at all. (I gave up when the bolt handle was flexing!) The did however chamber in another Anschutz match rifle that I was shooting. Accuracy was similar between the...

    velocitors

    Re: velocitors I didn't have much luck with them. 5 shot groups were over 2 inches at 100 yards. This made them the least accurate of the 15-20 different cartridges that I tested that day. Velocity ranged from 1301-1371 from an Anschutz 2013 (~26 inch barrel)

    Rifle Scopes Next Nightforce question 50 or 56MM

    Re: Next Nightforce question 50 or 56MM I purchased both (50mm and 56mm)with the same reticle. I compared them side by side in bright, low and no light conditions looking at a variety of colors and prints. I expected to see an advantage to the 56mm. I couldn't tell a difference but the...

    Silhoutte shooting

    Re: Silhoutte shooting Thanks for the link palma. My preferred rifle will not qualify as legal equipment. (I guess I was hoping for an open class with shooting coats, and 15# rifles with 2.5 ounce triggers, palm rests and adjustable stocks!) I will need to purchase a new rifle or try to...

    Silhoutte shooting

    Re: Silhoutte shooting I have never tried Silhoutte shooting but it sounds very interesting. (and I just learned of some matches less than an hour away) Are there restrictions on rifle weight? Trigger pull? Are stands allowed to support the rifle between shots? What scope magnification...

    Need advice for a non Match Hunting round, but

    Re: Need advice for a non Match Hunting round, but Another vote for the Accubonds. I have seen them make many 1/2-3/4 MOA groups out of a .338LM and easily sub 1 moa out of a .375HH They were retaining ~ 55-65% of their weight I had a 30-06 that put factory Hornady 180 Light Mag interlocks...

    Lapau Scenar .308 bullets

    Re: Lapau Scenar .308 bullets 1) Seems close 2) Very poor performance on coyotes-acted like a FMJ. The 155 Amax is perfect! 3) SILVER Scenars with Varget, Lapua brass, CCIBR2. I can safely use 47.5-47.8 in MY rifle. Heavily compressed over max load-use caution!
