    Finally a Good Shot Marker Stand

    For three months, there was a complete Shot Marker system mounted in a wooden target frame, sans the access point (receiver), with all the sensors, cables and the sensor hub, leaning against the wall under the overhang at position 25 of Range 4, like they were weather testing it. Then it was...

    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    I caught this adolescent guy destroying my Wife’s bird feeders in our backyard in suburban Springfield Virginia a couple of years ago.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Opened a new box of 1K .224 85.5 Berger Hybrids. They’re easier to manage in bags of 100….

    Finally a Good Shot Marker Stand

    Bringing this thread back from the dead… I’ve been fortunate to be able to shoot on Quantico’s 1000 yard Range 4 nearly every weekend for the last 20 years or so. A couple of guys I shoot with have been Shot Markers for the last year so I figured I’d forgo my usual 25x15 IPSIC steel target...

    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    You had all the pretty little yellow flowers surrounding you today…. Did a proof of concept run for my new Shot Marker (aluminum) frame in the pits this morning and it was successful. @Fixr approved…… Sensor kit is due to arrive this coming Friday And one more fog shot from the target...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    I’ve been using 80-90wt after I discovered a buddy of mine was using it on the bolt of his 50BMG AI ELR. I got down behind his rifle to check out his new scope and I could smell 80-90…. I’ve been using it on my AT and it’s made a difference. Don’t use any with Motorctaft Friction Additive….

    This’ll prolly piss off a bunch of people: The AT thumb hole is difficult to use with a rear bag, mostly because of he big goofy D shaped hook. I always figured they were trying to sell monopods or something…. This is why the first thing I did when I bought my AT was put a set old AICS butt...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Is it a short action? Is it unmolested? Unmodified SAs are popular, even if it’s only a 1.5. If you want the most money, put it on the big rapacious anti gun auction platform and take your chances. If you’re not interested in doing that, think of what you absolutely have to get for it, add...

    Poor man’s AI picture thread (AICS)

    I painted my shit with WWII OD Green DuraCoat a couple days ago since the weather is less sucky. Done. Obviously this is an Accuracy International AT rifle with AE Mk1 skins but this also works on AT AICS chassis with AICS skins for R700s.

    Check this out: AT rifle vandalism part 1 Strip AT rifle, remove all flush cups because we don’t need no stinkin’ flush cups, mark cuts for skins with tape. Cut skins as necessary with razor saw Test fit Hey! One of the skin screws won’t pass through the chassis fore end! Use...

    Done. By the end of the month my Wife will be recovered from her knee surgery and I’ll be able to get back out on Quantico’s Range 4. I’ve been trapped in the house with her for 3 weeks with 3 to go. It’s actually worse for her- the only time she can leave the second floor is when she’s...

    Finally got a decent enough day in Northern Virginia to spray some DuraCoat WWII OD green on the vandalized skins for my AT. Very bright sun for a change.

    Poor man’s AI picture thread (AICS)

    But this is a thread about AICSs right? So what happened to the LA 1.5 AICS? I put black skins on it and sold it to another Range 4 guy. The green skins go sold to a guy who “liked” my previous post. The Range 4 guy decided he wanted an AICS 2.0 so I converted his 1.5 to a 2.0 because I had...

    Poor man’s AI picture thread (AICS)

    Bolt handle broke off of it due to poor brazing from PTG. Should have been TIG welded to begin with. This is why I referred to the original builder as a gun plumber. Before it broke, the handle was also improperly timed for primary extraction- mostly ejected the cases back on to the magazine...

    Poor man’s AI picture thread (AICS)

    Here’s this R700 LA in an AICS life cycle, so far. Originaly built in 2007 by a local gun plumber on an E prefix action with a PTG bolt he had lying around for use in unofficial F class matches on Quantico’s Range 4. It was in green AICS 1.5 I bought new for under $600 from Midway, probably...

    What do you wish someone told you when you first started in precision shooting?

    Buy one chassis and stick with it

    What do you wish someone told you when you first started in precision shooting?

    I wish someone had said “You won’t save any money by reloading”. Not for twenty years, anyway. edited to add twenty year picture @mikeshaw2
