    Berger 185gr Match Target BT Long Range .308

    Re: Berger 185gr Match Target BT Long Range .308 I shoot a TRG 21 with Lapua brass, Varget, BR-2 primers and 185 VLDs in 1K competitions at Butner and Lejeune. I started with 42 grains and last week I was shooting 44 grains. My group was a bit wider than I wanted. The best load I think based...

    sako trg 22

    Re: sako trg 22 I shoot the TRG in 1K competitions at Camp Butner. The rifle is stock except the bipod and the limb saver recoil pad. I use the Harris S type 6-9. The factory bipod is useless in those matches. For FT/R you can't use a muzzle brake so there is a slight shove. The rail is a...

    Rifle Scopes night vision buying. help

    Re: night vision buying. help I don't have gen 3 but I do own Litton PVS-5s and mariner binoculars that are also gen 2. What I discovered was that magnification of quality is hard and expensive to find in one package. Ever notice that when you see all those sniper documentaries the always add...

    Rifle Scopes 32x &42x a wast of money?

    Re: 32x &42x a wast of money? I own both the 5.5-22x NXS and the 12-42x NXS for FT/R class. The lower power scope I used this past year to shoot competitively (600-1000 yards) It worked fine through all the seasons in NC. The 12-42x was purchased to give me clearer image of the X ring. The...

    new guy here

    Re: new guy here Welcome I agree with McCrazy. As others have said a Savage model 10 would work well. As for bi-pod go for a Harris, they're cheap but work very well. If you're looking to shoot competition LR matches, you'll need a 20MOA rail. (Near) makes those for about $100. As for rings...

    Reloading Newbie

    Re: Reloading Newbie The first question to ask yourself is what are you reloading for? hunting? competition? For general reloading the equipment prices will vary. The processes are different, especially with brass prep. I shoot competition and my brass prep has 9 steps before priming and...

    Savage gurus...advice needed

    Re: Savage gurus...advice needed The Savage shooters I know from matches love them. Out of the box they are very accurate (308). Put a 20MOA rail and a good scope and you're able to shoot competition. The accu-trigger is also extremely sweet. One of the guys there shot a 600yard match then...

    SAKO TRG 308 Varget Loads

    Re: SAKO TRG 308 Varget Loads I shoot a TRG21 using Varget 44gr with Berger 185's vld's for 600-1K matches. I had been shooting Black Hills match 175 and my groups at these distances were rather spread. Prior to that I was shooting 168's and the spread was even larger. My rifle doesn't like...

    Rifle Scopes space between objective lens and barrel

    What is the minimum space between the objective lens and barrel? I'm shooting a 308 cartridge, with a nightforce 12-42x56mm. I used IOR low with a 50mm. With the new scope it's .086mm between the barrel and objective lens. thanks Rooster

    Trigger Pull Weight, TRG22

    Re: Trigger Pull Weight, TRG22 I shoot competitively so my trigger pulls is around a pound or less. When it was set to 3 pounds the rifle would move just a bit and caused me to flinch. Rooster

    TRG-22 For 1000 Yard Competion

    Re: TRG-22 For 1000 Yard Competion Last week I shot ok. It was more for getting back into the groove since I hadn't shot for 2 months. I was also using virgin brass and the wind was all over the place. I shot 137 with 2 "X"'s on the team match for 15 shots. I also shot an "X" on my first...

    Sako TRG Bipod

    Re: Sako TRG Bipod If you're shooting competitively buy a Harris. The Sako bi-pods were designed for basically military use. They don't lock which is needed for competitions. They are heavy duty, but with that price tag...it's really up to you. I have one and don't use it. I prefer the Harris...

    TRG-22 For 1000 Yard Competion

    Re: TRG-22 For 1000 Yard Competion I couldn't agree more...I shoot the older Sako TRG-21 which is basically a 22 minus the stock cuts. I use it straight out of the box. I had bought all the stuff, Sako bi-pod ($400), Sako scope mount ($250), Sako compensator($100), Sako extra mag ($224) and...

    17 mach2 or 17 HMR

    Re: 17 mach2 or 17 HMR I own a Sako Quad with the 22 and 17 mach 2. I prefer the 17 mach 2 because the accuracy is slightly better than the 22. This rifle is my practice rifle for 1000 yard matches. Since the bullet is so small wind and heat affect it's flight at 100 yards. This allows me to...
