    Rifle Scopes Maximizing Elevation Question

    The elevation turret on my scope has 22 total mils of elevation. At zero (100yds), I have 14mils elevation available, and 8 mils negative elevation. Those 8 mils in the negative are essentially wasted. I don't use them. I'm trying to figure out a way to realign my scope in such a way as to rob...

    Programmer wanted, indie game...

    Thought I'd check with Hide members. I'm heading up an indie game company, 7 members, working on a fantasy-strategy game for Windows. We're looking for one more programmer. If interested in learning more, PM me. Nik

    Bullet recommendation, 1 in 11" Twist, 300WM

    Was looking at some bullet choices for 1000+yds for 300 Win Mag. Berger VLD, SMK and A-Max all had some nice BC's at higher grain. However, I could only find reference to a Twist Rate recommendation from the Berger; on their 210gr VLD HPBT they recommend 1 in 11", which is what I have. Looks...

    300 Win Mag factory ammo choices

    Bit of a long-winded question here... I've been using Prvi Partizan 165gr Soft Point BT to maximize my time behind the rifle while minimizing cost. They're cheap at $18/box and have served me well at 100yds, 200yds and then, putting together the fundamentals I've learned here so far, out to...

    Rifles Only shield

    Just a side curiousity... Is there a historical/symbolic significance to the Rifles Only shield? Red cross on a black field. For instance: Knights Templar: red cross on white field. Teutonic Knights: black cross, white field. Nik

    mil dot height estimation list?

    Does anyone have a link to a good list of various object heights, for purposes of mil dot range estimation? For instance: Ground Hog 10" Doorway 84" etc... Thanks, Nik

    Cheapo ammo for learning

    For a bit of context, I'm a student here on the online training, and I'm on Lesson 4 now. I hear a lot of people advocating quality match grade ammo, and I'm sure it has its place in proper hands. In *my* hands, I tend to think that extra quality will be completely lost. At 200 yds, I'm still...

    Rifle Scopes felt recoil, muzzle brake vs scopes busting?

    Maybe a bit of a complex question here. (And this isn't a post about who's brand is better.) Some scopes out there have a rep for tremendous ruggedness. Bang 'em around, mount 'em on a .50 cal, and they're fine. SB, USO, etc. Then there are some brands where people have reported their scopes...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon vs Super Sniper

    Hey guys, I've seen a lot of attention paid to the Falcon series and an overall "great for the money" review. Anyone have opinions on how they compare with SS scopes? About the same price and seem to be appealing to essentially the same market strategy of offering a "$1000 scope for...

    Advanced Marksmanship rifle pistol grip

    This is probably old hat to most of you, but a little light bulb turned on for me on this one... In one of Lowlight's videos on youtube, I noticed the trigger hand was gripping the pistolgrip with the thumb "up" instead of wrapped around. Sorta like a fencing foil grip. I thought that was odd...

    Rifle Scopes Mil Reticle, MOA dial?

    I'm new to this board, learning about marksmanship and trying to soak up as much info as I can... The entire MOA and Mil Dot math required zero a rifle has been almost voodoo to me, (figuring out distance conversions off target to clicks) until I ran across Lowlight's article on using a...
