    Let’s see those range bags

    After ignoring my range bag for quite some time I decided to clean out all the dirt, dead spiders and random debris that all bags accumulate over time. I bought this particular bag from Lowe’s when I still shot USPSA and 3-gun nearly 20 years ago. It has served me well and with all the pockets...

    What KYL target are you using?

    Just curious what KYL targets you are using and how well do you like them? Trying to find something that I can put in my truck and take out to the desert and setup easily to do some shooting. While I enjoy range days we have a lot of BLM land around here to use.

    Help me read my 6.5X47 Lapua results

    I recently purchased a 6.5x47 Lapua and took it out Friday to test a few loads. This was brand new Lapua brass, 140 GR Berger Hybrids, CCI 450 primers and H4350. All shots were at a 100 yards. I did fail to record velocity on 3 shots so I didn't include the ES or SD on that group. I didn’t have...

    Where are all the CZ 457 MTR's ???

    Just curious what is going on with CZ and why the CZ 457 MTR variants are made of Unobtanium? Outside of GunBroker or the occasional rifle on a classifieds somewhere priced for more than retail these things are exceedingly tough to find. I am the type that really likes to see something in person...

    Help analyzing 6.5 Creedmoor results

    I took my 6.5 out yesterday and did some load testing with what I would call “odd” results. Components used were as follows, Nosler 140 RDF, lapua SRP brass, H4350 powder and Federal GM205M primers. I shot at 200 yards as it was a super calm morning. I lost the first 5 round group but found 3...

    Garmin Xero C1 Case?

    Just curious what everyone is using to pack their Garmin Xero C1’s in? I have a waterproof camera box but it is huge compared to the chrono and tripod. Anyone found something that fits it well and won’t take up half my range bag? Pictures or links to what you’re are using would be greatly...

    Regular B14R barreled action or 20 inch heavy?

    I’ve been looking at the Begara B14r barreled actions and am trying to decide between the standard 18.5 inch version and the 20 inch MTU version. I am not the kind of guy who will leave well enough alone so even if I get the 18.5 inch version I’ll be changing stuff a year from now. Just...

    Aero Precision Solus Hunter

    After about a 10 year hiatus from the shooting world after my divorce I decided to take the plunge back into the world of Long Range shooting again. I had been shopping the Bergara rifles pretty hard but the reviews from actual shooters were all over the place so I found it hard to throw a bunch...

    Old Member with a New Name

    Hey everyone, I used to post here as "Paraman1" but after my divorce I sold everything and traveled for several years. My Dad who is nearly 80 has my last long range rifle I built and has started shooting long range again so I am in the process of building a new long range rifle so I can shoot...

    What to drink in Finland ?

    I am currently doing a stint in Helsinki Finland and need some help on what to drink and what to stay away from . I have tried Karhu and Sandels beer and both were lacking . Newcastle is available here but 3.09 Euros a bottle is prohibitively expensive for casual drinking . Jack Daniels is 32...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Carrying Concealed (how do you do it ?)

    I have carried concealed off and on for about 6 years . The biggest problem I have is that when I try and move my Compact 1911 into an IWB holster for the summer my pants fit so tight I can barely breathe and I wind up reverting back to my pocket .22 or don't carry at all . During the winter I...

    Meesha has left the building

    Well maybe not just yet . I put down her brother 3 years ago on pretty much the same day . Her hips have gotten to the point that she can't get up on her own . She has accidents in the house pretty regularly and occasionally they happen while she lays there in them . She is close to completely...

    .270 Weatherby Magnum Accuracy Loads ?

    A buddy of mine recently inherited a .270 Weatherby Magnum and since he knew I reloaded asked me if I knew of any good loads to try out . After looking through several of my manuals and a few online resources I haven't really come up with anything that looks like a "Go To" load . If anyone is...

    On August 11th we are going to be hosting a scope comparison at the Parma Rod and Gun Club . The time has yet to be determined but the basic premise is to get a bunch of guys together with everyone bringing their optics to do side by side comparisons . A guy can seriously go broke trying to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Classic 1911 Compact

    Picked this one up recently for a decent price . Its a Springfield compact that rolled out the doors on Sept. 11 1991 . I don't think its been carried or shot much in its 20 year life but that's about to change . Of course the second it showed up I ordered a few aftermarket parts for it and sent...

    Gauging Interest in 10-22 stock

    OK I posted a while back trying to gauge interest in a stock . The project then went a little different direction but here are the results . It is very similar to the A3-5 except it is made from a laminate . The grip area will not have the quartz imbedded on the final version but since this is...
