    Is a rangefinder a "necessary" part of LRS?

    Like the title says, is a laser rangefinder considered a necessary piece of equipment for long-range shooting? Are most of you guys (or girls) using this if you aren't at a range with known distances? Or do you mess around with Google Earth, or mark a waypoint with GPS, etc? Right now I...

    B&C stock vs. AI stock...

    I've got a Remington 700 with a B&C Medalist A5 stock and a Timney 510 trigger. The B&C stock hasn't been bedded... I didn't want to venture into that on my own without having done it before - so I just installed it with the screw and torque wrench. If I were to upgrade the stock to an AI 1.5...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 1-4x Reticle... Ease of use?

    I'm looking to get a good tactical scope in the 1-4x range to mount on an AR15. I'll be shooting torso-sized steel (or other similarly sized targets) from close range out to 500 meters or so. The only two scopes I own (and have experience with) are a Viper PST 6-24x FFP and a Burris...

    Rifle Scopes Desired features of a hunting scope vs. a sniper's scope...

    I've never been hunting. I'm also not a sniper, but I do enjoy practical long-range shooting. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but it seems like hunters more commonly use a SFP reticle with a more simplified cross-hairs design, whereas a sniper (or someone doing practical long-range...

    Rifle Scopes Least expensive First Focal Place, Mil/Mil scope???

    Hi all - I have a friend who is shopping for a scope. He has used my Vortex Viper PST 6-24x, and he really likes it, but it's more than he can spend. He really wants First Focal Plane and Mil/Mil though. I know SWFA makes a 3-9x that fits this criteria for $599, and Weaver makes a 3-15x...

    Will benchrest practice help or hinder with prone?

    This might sound like a stupid question, but I'm really hoping for some good advice from people more experienced than I am. I just started the online training here a few weeks ago and am loving it. My desire is to start competing F-class, so the emphasis on shooting prone with glass is exactly...

    Target shooting and wildfires...

    Not sure what subforum this should be in... ??? I'm a college student and I'll be headed back home to Utah for the summer. I want to bring my rifle since I'll have tons of free time. There have been dozens of wildfires in Utah over the past few weeks that were all reportedly started by...

    Question about mounting Atlas to B&C Medalist A5..

    I've read the threads here at SH talking about the best way to do this... I've ordered the Seekins SRS B&C 2.5" rail. However - I'm confused about how this will be mounted under the forend. My stock only has one sling stud in it, and just past that (maybe 1/4") is a hex screw. Do I unscrew...

    Does a McMillan stock really make a difference?

    I just ordered a B&C Medalist 5 fully-adjustable, but am now wondering if I should return it and just go for the McMillan A5 fully adjustable. I have some photography equipment I could sell to make up the difference in cost. I've read all the posts on here saying that the B&C feels like cheap...

    Data book in metric?

    I read the awesome post that NOMAD made regarding data books, and I've decided to order one. I'm completely new to actually recording data regarding my shooting. I absolutely love the metric system and wished our lame measurement system in the US didn't exist. Does anyone else record all...

    My reloads versus factory - how can I do better?

    I'm finishing putting together my first 308, and as I start to look at ammo prices, I've decided to start looking into reloading. My question is, how can I produce better ammunition out of my kitchen than buying from a company who has decades of experience and very knowledgable people working...

    Rifle Scopes Help with magnification choice...

    I just bought a Rem 700 SPS Varmit and need help with scope selection, specifically the magnification. I don't do any hunting. This will be used on paper and steel targets hopefully out to 800+ meters (as far as I can take it). I'd also love to compete one day. I have read tons of posts here...

    Rifle Scopes New to scopes... was my purchase a wise one?

    I've been a lurker for a while trying to gain some knowledge from you all. I decided to finally join! I just made my first scope purchase. Scopes are totally new to me, and I am relatively new to shooting as well. I was wondering if you guys could let me know if my purchase will work for my...
