    Tactical Matches and travel

    To those of you who fly to matches, how do you transport your equipment? I assume that your rifle and scope can be packed in a Pelican case or something similar. What about your other equipment? Do you just put it in a suitcase? I have always wondered about this. Are there any issues with the...

    Rifle Scopes Second Focal Plane Correction Question

    Hide Members, On a SFP scope like the Sightron 8-32x56, are dialed corections the same on all powers? For instance, if I need to correct 2 MOA, would I dial the same on 32x and 16x? I'm thinking on 16x, I would adjust half. Am I correct? Thank you for your help. Tim

    Range Report Shooter Ready Wind Exercises

    Hello all. I have been using the Shooter Ready simulation for a little while now. I am confused on some of the wind stages. For instance, on the .308 wind challenge - it gives you the wind speed on the wind meter and it says "There is a wind downrange at 600 yards 12 to 16 mph from the west"...

    Rifle Scopes SS 3-9x42 Mil Quad Reticle Thickness

    According to several posts here, the SS 3-9x42 mil quad reticle is thicker than the 10x or the 5-20x. Does anyone know how thick?

    Range Report Holdover plus dialing for 1000 yards.

    Happy Holidays to all. If 28 - 33 MOA are needed to reach 1000 yards, can a shooter hold over 5 mils and dial the remaining elevation requirements? I know this would not be ideal. I am new to shooting in general and have no practical experience in anything long range. Thank you, your site has...
