    2024 Legion Memorial Run and Gun, Honoring the Fallen as a Family

    Thank you. It’s hard to know what to cut out, if it should be stand alone or just stages. It was important to me to try to do this match justice, but it’s tough to capture how special it is.

    Run-N-Gun [Centerfire Biathlon] kit - What do you run?

    Was thinking of DMR type holds and setting up a card before hand , but if shots are inside 600 I get where you’re coming from. I certainly wouldn’t run one during the event. We generally shoot at 400-800 AMSL. Going to 3000+ would have me nervous unless there was a zero day beforehand. Now...

    Run-N-Gun [Centerfire Biathlon] kit - What do you run?

    I want to make it out to Texas to shoot one within the next year. I’ve watched several of the events out there and they look awesome. Much more opportunity for a SPR/DMR type event it seems . Would give me a reason to buy a kestrel to do dope cards with different altitudes/ DA thank I’m used to 😊

    Run-N-Gun [Centerfire Biathlon] kit - What do you run?

    Glock mags stay in fine in both the Esstacs and the G code. The 2011 mags narrow way down to the feed lips so a much longer section of the body is tapered. I assume that’s the main contributor. That’s said, lots of guys run them so maybe it’s just me being paranoid.

    Run-N-Gun [Centerfire Biathlon] kit - What do you run?

    I have the tall (I think) G code single pistol pouches. Even pulled tight the 20 round Prodigy mags would shake out. (Think slack lining while pulling a pack across a creek). Pulling that bungee around the body of the pouch and up over the mags worked well. I like them a lot, and the provided...

    Run-N-Gun [Centerfire Biathlon] kit - What do you run?

    Just a follow up on the Haley kit and chafing. Dropping it 2” and flat taping every adjuster and roll worked. It ran fine, no rubs or chafing. Any time lost on these stages was 100% operator headspace and timing. I may still see if ATS can custom make me one, but this works. The bison belt...

    2024 Legion Memorial Run and Gun, Honoring the Fallen as a Family

    Thank you, G. She’s grown up a lot since the last time you saw her at ORSA, knitting with Jim and Bobs wives :) 188 runners this year, with 200 more on the wait list and another 60 people in the wait list to be volunteers. Matt and team put in a world class match.

    2024 Legion Memorial Run and Gun, Honoring the Fallen as a Family

Legion is an annual charity event put on to raise awareness and funds for the Special Forces Foundation, Chapter 38 who assists 5th Special Forces Group members and their families in times of need. Matt...

    Barrel rifling

    I’ve shot dozens of 4-6 grooves and don’t see any difference in barrel performance or life. I find a good barrel is a good barrel.

    Run-N-Gun [Centerfire Biathlon] kit - What do you run?

    Though not nearly what you had to deal with, I should have learned from the lessons above. I ran the last 2-3 miles in some heavy rain and the scope mount nuts, bolt release and my safety rusted up pretty good over night.

    Run-N-Gun [Centerfire Biathlon] kit - What do you run?

    You had a great finish yesterday. The heat on Friday was no shit. It’s never 90 on Cagle Mountain. I’m surprised nobody went down with heat exhaustion with that heat and humidity . Great run!

    MK 12 Picture & Discussion Thread

    I shot 1:8 for years with 69s, the original Nosler 75s and the 80gr SMK and it shot great. Didn’t mean to imply the twist was an issue, just that I don’t know if AMU used it. Last time I shot next to them, they were running 6.5 or 6 twists with 90gr JLKs. I was policing Walter’s brass on the...

    Tactical/Target Rifle w/WOOD

    I have wanted a curly maple prone stock pattered off the Robertson Composite original for years. They have a very thin pistol grip and would need a metal rod in the grip, but man would that stock set my AI Coopermatch off. Anshutz rail stopped 3/4 from the end of the stock, WTC cheek piece and...

    Shawn Ryan/Trump Interview

    I’m not implying I’m not voting for him . I just have a hard time with his scattered speeches and the way he present himself sometimes. I have read and heard in private is isn’t like this at all. Publicly, he Just rubs me the wrong. Prefect example was his reaction to the fake Rogan story...

    Shawn Ryan/Trump Interview

    Maybe, but I’m so sick of hearing “I did this” and “I did that”. I was the greatest ever .. bla bla bla like he didn’t have a team. A team he publicly destroyed if he even thought they might poke at him. Great at policy, horrible leader. I’d say it to him if asked, you’ve been President...
