Yesterday, while out shooting some steel from different field positions off my 6-9 Harris bipod, I noticed that if the angle of the target was above level, say up hill, I didn't feel as comfortable in the prone position. I felt that my face was off my stock. My neck and back seemed quite...

When I'm out heading to the range, during shooting after shooting, I look at the bank temps, my truck temps and the snow melt while I'm shooting. Most of them seem to run lower temps than does my Kestrel 2500. Can the Kestrel get out of sinc and if so is their anything "I" can do or do I need...

I'm looking for some intelligent, no BS, answers. Some of you may already know I run a 6.5x47 in a 26" Broughton 1:8 barrel and a Pierce action. With every ounce of my 37+ years of reloading experience I've found I can run Berger 140 VLD's to almost 3000 fps with zero pressure signs, only...

Any suggested powders and load data for 140 gr bullets in the 6.5x47? I've run Rel 17 and 140 AB and VLD thus far and am seeing great promise but want to experiment. Alan

I'd like to ask the members of the Hide a specific question. I recently obtained a new rifle using a specific short action similar to the Rem 700 short action. The caliber is 6.5x47 Lapua. It uses PTG BDL style bottom metal. I'm not going to name either the gunsmith, who is nationally...

Need to take my Farrell rings off. What tool to use? Looks like a large Torx head; right? Where do I get the tool? Alan

It happened to me today, 4 rounds into a 60 round match. The long wooden dowel I keep in the car for just such an occurrence, then broke off, right at the muzzle; leaving the barrel full of bullet and wood. Got it out and "Charlie Mike". Suggestions? Plastic, wood or cold rolled steel rod...

What mounting system will keep my NF 2.5-10x32 as low as possible on a Rem 700 for proper cheek weld? Alan

Today, at our Utah tactical shoot, we had 4 unk distance steel gongs; 18" round or square. Some shooters lased them, I used my NF NP-R1 reticle @ 22x and my USO FFP spotter. I hit 3 of 4. I'm doing this from memory, so forgive if i'm off. The missed target was the longest @ 824 yds. My...

My Kestrel 2500 started having trouble a week back. Even during 8-12 mph wind it wasn't reading properly. I couldn't find my replacement impellars so had Kestrel send out a couple more. They arrived and when installed, I can't seem to "blow" it faster than 4, sometimes 5 mph. I found my...

After much harrassment by my best friend to get an Acculab VIC123, I finally did. WOW!!! I love it. I've had an RCBC 304 (Ohaus) for several decades and trust it implicitly. It's big, easy to adjust to what ever weight I want and, like throwing powder, will weigh very accurately if the same...

Thinking about hunting this fall with my 16 lb Surgeon in 6.5x47L. My favorite spot is a skootch over 11,000'. I normally use a Eberlestock J107 but this rifle won't fit in the scabbard. Thinking of buying another Eberlestock with a larger scabbard but wanted to see who hunts with their...

I'm going with the TAB sling but wanted to get opionions from those who have the AICS about where they prefer to attach and why? I run a Harris bipod if that makes a difference. Alan

I've been running my EXBAL for a couple of years now and I think I may have figured something out and wanted to run it past those with lots of EXBAL expereince. On Monday, I got a good 100 yd zero and entered in all the data into EXBAL and saved it under "Save sight in conditions"...

Not sure if this has been posted before though I did do a search back to 3 March when it was released. http://kitup.military.com/2010/03/m24-sniper-rifle-fixes-in-the-works.html

When competing at a tactical match with a bolt gun, are extra mags usually used/needed for certain courses of fire? I can understand having them for when the primary mag goes down but.....are there courses of fire where mag changes are needed or just required to make things interesting? And...
