    Just wondering if guests are allowed to follow the shooters at this match.........thinking of taking my son to follow along as he's getting old enough to start competing himself in the near future.

    Rifle Scopes Nightforce BEAST vs Leupold Mark 8

    I've been using a Mk8 for a little over a year and I have a friend that's had a beast on order for the same timeframe......I've heard some preliminary reviews that NF is having some issues getting things "right" with the beast.......if it were me I'd move on to something that's available...

    As 2014 Approaches does this need to be addressed ?

    I think the arms race is one of the things that will help grow the sport by attracting interest...but recognize that a new shooter needs to be competitive and have a chance at a recognition and possibly rewards....that's why I suggest breaking down the matches by actual shooter performance and...

    As 2014 Approaches does this need to be addressed ?

    Here's a sample idea for award distribution to show what I'm failing to accurately describe. Is it something different, yes.....would it suck for some better shooters, yes but we do this cause we enjoy it.....take my specific example. My 9th place overall finish would have sent me to the prize...

    As 2014 Approaches does this need to be addressed ?

    This is my problem with limiting classes by equipment.....experienced guys stepping down and dominating. The part I see as missing from this proposal is incentives to recruit new shooters, I think my division idea from a couple pages back would do that. As I understand it now, a new shooter...

    As 2014 Approaches does this need to be addressed ?

    I agree to a point and having entry based on division and class will wind up with too small groups...... I'm suggesting no classes.... Everyone enter up and shoot what you want, your total match score will deter ermine what division and consequentially what your reward is, want to consistently...

    As 2014 Approaches does this need to be addressed ?

    My point is i think it would be better to classify shooters into divisions and award points or prizes based off of performance than by equipment class used. Rotating trips to the prize table amongst divisions would offer more incentive for newer shooters....

    As 2014 Approaches does this need to be addressed ?

    I've been following this thread with interest.....I'm new to this sport and started a little over a year ago. I've been shooting all my adult life but spent the past 20 or so years hauling horses down the rodeo road and I've witnessed the growth and splintering and re-birth of various...

    Gunsmithing Jewel trigger issue

    It will work, I've done it numerous times. I have seen this with the adjustment screw on the bottom backs out not allowing the striker to fall as well. Snug the side screws and then check everything else to make sure, I've had more trouble with the over travel adjustment screw backing...

    Here are some pics of a MkIV and Mk8 mounted for comparison, the Mk8 is mounted in badger medium rings. I tried the one piece Leupold IMS but it sits up to high..... Mk8: https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#AJ5oqs3qGOSrIM

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk 8 3.5-25

    If you ordered through Leupold on the Mil/LE they only charge when it ships.......it should only be a couple more days.....I heard they were going to start shipping their inventory so it sounds like the wait is not too bad, BTW I saw a couple of these out at the recent Score High match so they...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk 8 3.5-25

    It feels tight and solid to me, the reticle does not disappear quite as bad as a schmibt with a hours reticle as I can remember, other then the MTC positions the click values are definitely positive.....it looks more like a European optic than a Leupold in my opinion.
