I see a lot of references to holding edge of plate when shooting steels. I get that if the plates are close in there's no need to dial in windage just allow for the wind. But you guys seem to do it at longer ranges, past 600? In the UK a lot of guys dial for wind and aim centre plate and adjust...

If anybody has a Sig 2400 BDX LRF & Garmin 701, could they confirm something for me please. I have them both, when I am in ABU mode on the Sig and ping a distance I get the drops in the LRF and in the App on my phone. If I am in ABE mode and connected to the Garmin 701 I get the range and drops...

I have a new AI AXMC long action. I cannot get 6.5 rounds to feed out of the .308 mags. They just slam into the barrel face. I know some guys have got them to feed, any tips or ideas. Cheers Mark

Hi Guys I will be competing again this year in the Czech Republic Snipers Cup. The last 3 years and this year is at the same range...a giant soft sand pit. Every year shooters suffer from their bipods sinking in the soft sand after repeated shots. I have tried a rubber mat, then carpet stuck to...

What's everybody's thoughts on vibrating cases to settle powder so you don't compress loads? I have been doing it for about 10-15 seconds on a vibrating mat so I don't hear that crunching sounds when seating a bullet.

Has anybody else experienced the wrong pressure and elevation data on a Garmin 701? I have checked mine against kestrels, pro weather stations and other devices and it's always different. Does it really matter for calculating drops? Cheers M

Hi Guys I have had my Sig 2400BDX and Garmin 701 working for months. Yesterday they seem to have developed a communication error? When I used to range a distance the result and dope would come up in the rangefinder and be on the 701. Now I only get the dope on the 701. Range is displayed in the...

Okay guys I have tried everything. I have followed the instruction online from Garmin. Used the methods I used when I had a kestrel. I am using the latest AB profile uploader. I fill in the profile and save it. I connect the 701, profile loader see's it. I send the profile across to the 701...

I was thinking of building another 6mm, I currently have a 6x47. I had too much spare time on my hands and started going through the Hide forum and thinking should I build a 6.5CM instead? Are there any real ballistic advantages to a 6.5CM over a 6CM? It will be used mainly for PRS type comps...

I have read of a few companies making high end scopes with built in LRF's, that can tell you the drops. I believe one is an American company? Anybody have any names? Thanks

Hi Guys Does anybody know if Sig is going to expand the BDX range? I was going to buy some Sig kilo 3000 BDX Binos, but might hang on if a better model is coming out? If so, anybody has an idea what it might be?

Hi I have a Bighorn TL3 Long Action in an XLR Evolution chassis. I want to shoot 6.5x47L in it with 10 round mags. I have a 10 round 300 win mag magazine, but I cant get the rounds to feed reliably. They nose dive into the mag. Has anybody got a similar round to feed, using a 10 round magazine...

Hi Guys I have a Switch barrel rifle, 6x47 & .284 Win. I have zeroed the scope with the 6x47. The .284 barrel when fitted has 2.2 mil up elevation and 1 mil right to get the rifle to Zero. I have a Sig 2400, a Garmin 701 and Coldbore, they all I believe can put in an offset to allow for the...

I have just purchased Coldbore, both Desktop & Mobile, both are registered. I have spent an hour trying to figure out how to setup a gun profile in the mobile app. The manual tells you what the program can do but not how to setup a rifle profile. I have used many solvers in the the last 10...

I cannot change the the output on the main screen on the 701 from metres to feet for the distances. I have tried every menu and gone through the manual twice. I had it in feet now its in metres. Can somebody tell me how its done? I have given up after an hour of trying, or do I have to use a...

Hi I cant change profiles on the 701. I have 2 profiles on the 701, How do you change profiles, the menu is so complicated. In the main AB screen, I press "Mark/Enter", a window appears. I then select "Profile" with the arrows, I then press enter. A profile appears highlighted, I then press...

Does the 701 calculate Density Altitude? Thanks

I have a Sig 2400, in the Sig app you can adjust the Zero Height and Zero Offset. The manual, Sig online Manual, AB Online Manual does not say how to do it. For example, if I take off my Suppressor and put on a Break and my group goes 1" high and 1.5" right do I put in positive or negative...
