    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper pst 2 MOA VS MRAD

    Listen guys... Mils and minutes are neither the metric system nor the standard system. A radian is an arc of a circle where the length of the arc is the same length as the radius. A circle has 6.2832 radians. Cut up the radian into 1,000 equal pieces, and you have a mil. A “milliradian”, or...

    It's not about the Gear, it's about the Effort !

    Of course you can buy the ability to shoot well - to a certain extent. That's what you're doing with your work with your instructors. We all "buy" our ability to shoot well in some way, shape, or form. We buy books, we buy ballistic calculators, reloading presses, the best projectiles we can...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex viper pst 2 MOA VS MRAD

    Looking to do some distance shooting. I'm not very familiar with moa or mrad. What would you guys reccomend? Also ebr-2c or ebr-7c? From what I understand 7c is the updated reticle? OP, Dang, things sure got crazy. Please allow me to reel it back in, and to help you answer your question. If...

    It's not about the Gear, it's about the Effort !

    For sure, as we can plainly see from a lot of the posts in this discussion, there are a lot of clairvoyant folks out there who can divine one's intentions simply by observing the quality of one's gear, and that allows them to pass judgement on their fellow shooters. It seems like you just can't...

    It's not about the Gear, it's about the Effort !

    I've run into the know-it-all type, too. They can be hard to suffer. I've learned to just go along with whatever they say, and pay complements to their gear and their ways of doing things, then make my getaway as soon as possible. One of my favorites was the guy whose AR had a cheap scope on it...

    It's not about the Gear, it's about the Effort !

    I am new to this forum. I have been shooting for many years, since I was a young boy. I was also a Navy Instructor where I taught all sorts of tactical skills from riverine to jungle warfare not only to our guys but also to foreign military personnel. The reason I put that out there is because...

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting with your target rifles??

    Of course, why not? I think the question should be more if one is willing to hump the weight of a heavy rifle all over Hell's half acre. And if that's really a question, then maybe one should do a few more push-ups and run a few extra laps around the block. I swap out target bullets with...

    30-06 shooters, in here...

    Maybe I should just keep that rifle "as-is" and build a different gun? I could use the one in question to shoot for pizza and beer, as NOBODY would expect that kind of accuracy from that gun?

    30-06 shooters, in here...

    Thanks guys for the responses. I ordered my barrel a couple of weeks ago, and it will take Krieger several months to even get to it, so I have plenty of time to get the Serengeti reamer. Plus, since I am overseas and won't really be home to "take care of things," I have nothing but time to...

    30-06 shooters, in here...

    Thank God I found this thread. I have been on a few other forums, and the thread always turns into "why do you want an '06? You should get a bla bla bla." I just ordered a Krieger CM, 28" #14 Heavy Palma, 1/11 twist. I also ordered the Obermeyer chamber. I think that after reading Salazar and...
