    Rifle Scopes Makeshift Target Turret for FA/Some Slotted Turrets

    Thought some might like to see a quick target turret that I came up with recently. Was at work one day and opened a vial and threw the little cap away. Then thought that it might make for an improvised TT system for std. turrets that use the 2 Frearson screws in them--sure enough the dang thing...

    Dry Bore Snake (-bristle brush)

    Hey guys thought I'd try something recently, and I took the brush out of a bore snake, and now i've just recently been pulling just this through my 22 bores and it seems to be cleaning them up from what I can see with my naked eye. Any ideas if this is a simple effective cleaning system or am I...

    Philippine Scout Snipers

    Anybody ever hear anything about this unit? Supposed to be a very well trained group of military shooters. I thought I had heard that they do pretty good at international competitions, etc.

    Possible Gap in the Optics Market?

    Couple years ago i put a Horus Vision Predator scope on top of my Magnum Research Picuda long-range pistol for general long-range plinking and prairie dog/ground squirrel shooting. I absolutely love that reticle and setup for it's intended purpose. But it still costs $700 or so for one of the HV...

    Most Fun I've Ever Had With a 22!

    Was taking inventory of misc. optics i had laying around recently and came across this 8-26x Horus Predator. An idea popped in my mind to put it on my MR Picuda. I knew the integral Weaver mount would support it no problem with Burris Zee rings to give me a lot of flexibility for maximizing the...

    600 Yard Capable...

    Put an 8-26x Horus Predator on my MR Picuda and actually got there today. Just shooting informally, i could see bullet impact dust trace at that range. Had to shim the 30mm offset inserts with credit card strips to get as much as possible out of the setup, but i now have 150 useable...

    Browning Buckmark Varmint/2.5-8x Nikon EER setup

    Well, had to change the optic on my BBM. Do love the PFI system but wanted a bit more power on this rig. Besides that the 1.25-4 works better on my Ruger Mk III. Got a 2.5-8x Nikon on it now and love that optic too. BDC reticle has 2-2 MOA circles at 2.5 and 6' [75 and 100-yd. zeros with Win...

    Rifle Scopes Metric mil reticle subtension...coincidence?

    Is it just coincidence that the 3.6 IPHY milliradian angle subtends exactly 10 cm. at 100 meters? I don't see how it could be designed to be so.

    Cheap Bipod Thread

    Any of you guys use the UTG [Leapers} bipods on your rigs? Seems like most of them aren't bad for the price, from the evals i'm seeing here and there. Figure they oughtta' at least work off rimfire recoil no problem-- http://www.leapers.com/index.php Just bought 3 of them off Amazon, so we'll...

    Long-Range Buckmark Varmint Setup

    Bought 1 of these awhile back and thought you guys might like to see what i did with it. It was used and at 1st i couldn't get anything to shoot as well as my 5.5"-barrelled Ruger Mk. III. Then i happened onto some Win Dynapoint and it shot ~1" @ 50. Finally got something to shoot out of it. I...

    Rifle Scopes Picture of Horus H27 reticle anywhere on the web?

    Guys i went to Horus--not under reticles there, and Leupold search engine gives nothing when you type in "Horus" or "Horus Vision." Does this reticle/company actually exist?

    "Long-range" Ruger Mk. III/Nikon 2.5-8x BDC+turret

    Went out today to test the new system. I intend to use it for a walking prairie dog rig, for the head shots that present themselves often while walking a town. I bought a bunch of Win. Dynapoints from K-Mart at 20% off recently, and found they shot about as good as anything at 50 out of this...

    "225-yd coffee cup and 300-yd. can challenge"

    Remember the "250-yd. coke can challenge" somebody posted awhile back? I one-upped it yesterluckyday with a 2x Barska on a Ruger Tgt. pistol-- [copied from rimfirecentral] Well, finally got to the range today and had a ball...with caffiene, sort of. 1st thing i did was measure the subtension...

    Rifle Scopes Antelope Reticle-Rangefinding Fun

    Have had good success RR'ing antelope over the years whilst coyote hunting. No different yesterday. I was using this rig--Sav. Super Striker 22-250 with a 3.5-15x NF NP-R1 reticle on top, and while on stand i quickly bracketed an antelope doe in the herd and got 3 MOA back to brisket, lasered at...

    My Long-Range Rimfire Kid Trainer

    Thought this'd be nice for kids and folks to shoot so it won't cost me much (single shot 22's shoot cheaply) when somebody wants to start shooting. It's a Keystone Arms Chimunk Hunter pistol. I put a 4-16x Centerpoint MD on it and it appears to track fairly well through my grid-style bore...

    LR Coyote Rig
