    Vector X rangefinder mapping capability

    The Vector X bino/rangefinder has an app from Vectronix: VECSS. Oddly the Google Play store said it wasn't compatible with my Android phone or tablet, although it only requires Android version 9. I was able to download the app as an APK file and sideload it onto both devices. The device is...

    Vectronic Vector X--quick review

    Stars aligned and I was fortunate to receive a Vectronic Vector X rangefinder this afternoon (thanks, Sendero_Man!). It's a very capable unit and will require some study but my major goal for this upgrade was to be able to range small targets at distance without the unit picking up the...

    Adventures in Metrology, or "What scale should I buy?"

    I started off with reloading using an RCBS balance beam scale. I happily purchased one of the earlier digital strain-gauge scales when they become available, an RCBS Model 90 made by Ohaus. This likely was purchased in 1989-1990. Several years later I also bought an RCBS Range Master...

    Nesika Bay Action stock/chassis compatibility?

    I have a .338 Edge rifle built by Shawn Carlock on a magazine-fed Nesika Bay action, back in 2003. I'm not particularly fond of the stock and would like to replace it. I have a 6.5 PRC rifle in an MPA Matrix chassis and something like that would be preferable. Do any of you have any idea of...

    Truing a ballistic solver using ShotMarker target system

    I don't post to the Hide often, but thought you might find this interesting and possibly useful. I've used Adam MacDonald's Autotrickler and was pleased. I enjoy long range shooting, but find it frustrating trying to spot impacts past 1000-1200 yards, and misses are even worse. MacDonald also...

    Suppressors DIY Suppressor alignment gauges

    I'd found a thread on Reddit about using O-1 tool steel rods to make your own suppressor alignment gauges. I have the Geissele .22 and .308 rods, but needed one for 6.5 barrels. I'd been making do with using my .22 rod and rotating the rifle 90 degrees four times to check alignment. The rods...

    Ballistics Solver

    I've been using Applied Ballistics after it was recommended by Caylen Wojcik. It has worked well for me, and with one of his custom drag profiles for the Hornady 6.5 140gr ELD bullet, it was remarkably accurate. I'd like to have something similar I could run on my desktop computer. Hornady now...

    New member from Idaho

    My friend Terry turned me on to Sniper's Hide, and the great folks at Mile High Shooting. Been shooting for a long time: handgun, shotgun, and rifle, but long range rifle has always been more fun for me than anything else. I was just set to order my stick from TacticalRifles.Net ( ;) ) when...
