    A bad day at the range with the Hensoldt Zeiss Spotter 60

    As I read this long dormant thread I couldn't help thinking, "If you can afford to buy it you can afford to fix it."

    bbl.Twists ?

    I built an SR-25 for my son for National Match long range service rifle competition. The typical Palma Match format at Camp Perry is unlimited sighters but a fixed time of 20 minutes (I think) for 15 shots for score at 800 yards; 2 sighters and 15 shots at 900; and 2 sighters and 15 at 1,000...

    bbl.Twists ?

    173-174 grain M118 was the Army's specified de facto National Match standard until it was supplanted-replaced by 168-grain M852 (I believe in 1982). M118 Long Range (with the 175-grain Match King) wasn't adopted until 1996. Having shot 175s out of a 1-12 twist National Match M14 or M21 with...

    SOLD Hensoldt spotter 60

    I had one focused on a distant target and a fella looked into it and snorted, "OK, what's the big deal? It's just another expensive Euro glass." I looked at him and told him, "Dude, that target's a mile away," at which point he did a double-take.

    IMR 8208 XBR AND 77gr SMK IN A GAS GUN

    If you have a correctly built-assembled rifle with a decent 20-inch match-grade barrel and can not get it to shoot sub-MOA groups with loads charged at 23.4 grains of 8208 pushing bullets from 69 to 80 grains there is something wrong with it.

    Help reading the tea leaves, er, targets

    Take off the bipod and use a front sand bag (a Bull's Bag and rear bag help with lateral stability and minimize left-right roll). Try a benchrest target. You quarter the aiming square with your crosshairs and off-set your group so the aiming point is consistent. This is a 10-shot 308 group...

    LMT wins MRGG-A

    Remington got the PSR contract and SOCOM canceled it. The next great leap was the Barrett MK22. The Army once again is exercising USSOCOM's government's contract option and adopted the multi-caliber Barrett to replace the Remington 2010. USASOC benefits because the Army now buys their...

    LMT wins MRGG-A

    Do NOT confuse US Army Special Operations Command units with the Regular Army. The Army WILL provide USASOC units with whatever the service's weapons are, BY LAW. Arms rooms will have M17s, M7s (eventually, if USASOC does not refuse them and stays with M4A1s and M110s. The Army isn't going to...

    20" White Oak Krieger "New Owners" Build & Test

    Their new barrel maker and gunsmith is retired USAMU Staff Sergeant Ben Cleland. Ben fired the first-ever perfect score of 800 with a service rifle at the 2019 Charlie Smart Memorial Regional in Oak Ridge, Tennessee on 1 June 2019. The 800-point course is 20 shots standing in 20 minutes at 200...

    SR25 Upper Compatibility

    Needed some tapping when new. I think the surface anodizing inside the upper holes needed just a little polishing.

    Looking for an an affordable and accurate AR-15

    You can get a brand-new White Oak varmint barrel (16-22 inches) installed into your current upper for way less than $650 for a new rifle. Then again the Rock River gets you a whole new rifle.

    There's your problem. How far are you taking these prairie dogs?

    Looking for an an affordable and accurate AR-15

    Does the TAC3 not shoot well enough? If it doesn't I would consider handloads, a good barrel, a good trigger, and a good scope and mount.

    Groups are to small

    Here's some trivia: March 31st, 2017 500-Round Group at 300 Meters — Now That’s a Test! For load development, some guys shoot 3-shot groups. Other guys shoot 5-shot groups, or even 10-shot strings. But for testing its projectiles, Sierra Bullets takes it to another level entirely. A while...

    Need some advice, occasional failure to extract JP AR10

    Most Hornady anything has not impressed me. They are certainly original and innovative but their QC has never (in my own, singular personal experience) been consistent.

    Brass for precision Semi-Autos.

    General National Match M14 practice was four or five firings and that case is done. 7.62 ARs are generally better, not having piston-driven primary extraction.
