    Rifle Scopes Smart rifle scope

    How long will it be before our manual scopes are history? Is the Burris Eliminator and the Remington 20-20 showing the way of the future? Digital cameras are wiping out film. Compound bows taking nearly all of the recurve market. The computer has sealed the fate of manual typewriters. Hard line...

    hit probabiltity at extended ranges

    What I would like to know is the hit probabilty of the various cartridges in question. Has anyone ran a test on a given target at say, 1100.1300, and 1500 yards (meters, whatever). I would like the data from .308, 300WM, and the .338 Lapula. Five five shot aggregates would be nice. To me that...

    Rifle Scopes vectronix rangefinder Terrapin

    I wanted to share with as many shooters as possible. I just bought a Terrapin from a great Sniper Hide member.(Papagallos) This unit is great. I got pass 3000 yards easily. I have no connection with Vectronix. This is just a great unit and if you want a serious rangefinder this is the one.

    vectronix rangefinder

    I wanted to share my experience with the Terripin (sp?). I just got it today and I have ran it through its paces. The Vectronix is by far the best rangefinder I have used. I have owned a leica 1200 and the swaro. The Vectronix is on another planet. I ranged over 3000 yards no problem. If you...

    Gunsmithing Making a tapered base

    I am trying to figure out how much taper per inch is needed on a base to equal 20 MOA at 100 yards. If one ignores the distance between the center of bore to center of scope I come up with the following. 3600 inches = 100 yards taper of .006 per inch would decline the sight line by 21.6...

    Information on mechanical rifle accuracy machines

    I am not sure what forum to ask this question. I am interested in rifle accuracy testing machines used by the military. For example, a picture of a Mann machine rest is shown in Hatchers Notebook. I have been told that the Army Marksmanship Unit has a machine called "the sled." Does anyone...

    300 grain Berger Bullets

    Sinclair is selling the 300 grain .338 bullet. The first accuracy reports look very good. They are out of boxes of 100 and I had to buy boxes of 50. If you want to try these bullets now would be a good time to buy. It looks like they are giving about 200 more yards of supersonic range over...
