I took it out shooting today. I tried Federal Match that I had on hand and it sucked. The rifle shot better with Blazer bulk ammo. It averaged just under an inch at 50 yards. I will try better ammo when it becomes avaiable. I know this is way too much scope for the gun but I had it on hand from...

What scope do you recommend for a bolt action rimfire trainer type rifle? Pat

You guys may already know about this but I will explain it anyway. This is a simple match format you can do even at a public range. You just need to move the target from 100 yards to 200 yards to 300 yards and back to 100 yards. 1. Shoot your cold bore target (head shot) its worth 5 points...

We had a break in the rain today and there was no wind so I hit the range to test out a friends gun I mounted a scope on and my own 700. This is a story of 2 great Vortex scopes. My gun started life as a 20 inch Remington much like my friends. I had an Obermeyer barrel installed and the action...

Go back about 2 months and I got back from GA from the new Ft. Benning 3 gun match and checked my zero on my JP with the Swarovski and a Warne Skel mount. My zero had shifted 2 moa at 100 yards. 2 full inches to the right. I thought it must have been bad baggage handling and did not pay much...

This gun has given me some challenges. When I first got the barrel installed it would not cycle. I sent it to ADCO to open the gas port and to pin the gas block on for me. It came back and worked better but still not 100%. I tried a lower mass buffer to help and a lighter buffer spring. But...

I had the barrel cut to 18 inches and this caused me some troubles with cycling because it did not have enough gas. I had ADCO open the gas port and it worked better but still not 100% so I ended up making a low mass buffer by taking apart 3 rifle buffers removing the heavy weights and only...

Saw a video where a Nightforce scope was leveld with two triangle shaped wedges that when pushed together under the scope and the rail leveled the scope. Where do I get these triangle shaped metal wedges. Trying the bubble levels for some time and its not correct I am having 3 to 4 inches of...

Looking to spend around 2500 on a Nightforce for a .308 bolt action I am having built. I want the first focal plane just not sure about which reticle. Pros cons. Also all I see available in FFP is the 3.5-15 I was wanting a 5.5-22. Also how does the high end Vortex Razor 5-25 compare? Thanks Pat

I host a multigun match and a friend and I are looking to start some precision rifle matches. What rule do you guys use, scoring etc. We have access to a 420 yard range and I have an assortment of MGM steel targets. Never been to one of these matches and frankly have no clue of what is involved. Pat

We had about 8 people show up with bolt guns from .308 to .338 Lapua. My friend won using my gun. A great time was had by all. If anyone wants to compete in this kind of match send me a PM and hopefully we can get these scheduled more often. I had not had the opportunity to confirm my dope at...

After a weeks delay in shipping I got the SCAR in Yeasterday right after I got done working out and just before I had to got to work. So once I got home I stayed up late installing the trigger and the extended rail and the optics. Can barely wait to shoot it. The only thing I did not like was...

This started out as a Remington 700 Tactical in .308. The rifle shot well (.56 moa with its best load average) but it had some issues. The trigger sucked as did the stock. It also would not feed when I was running the bolt. I followed advice given to me on this form and got a used McMillan...

Looking for a detachable magazine system for my 700. See lots of choices what is the best value. Pat

Tell me how the same load in one rifle has a standard deviation of 9 and in another its huge Noveske target Larue target. The shot that is low right on the lower right hand target had a different report almost like a hang fire but not that delayed. I am using new Lake City Brass. I have...

Last summer in July I got sick of being fat and decided to start eating better and working out. I started at 298 on July 11 and am now 230. I work out 6 days a week. Mostly running. Don't have pics but here are some videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap5uYuM2Rfw...

I got some new Lake City brass and loaded my pet loads that are usually .65 to .75 moa and the loads opened up to 1 to 1.2 moa. I then reloaded the same loads in once fired Lake City brass and they shrank right back down. I use dillon carbide dies that full length resize. Whats causes this...

Well you guys are going to laugh at this but I bought a new rifle because I had a free scope from Burris (Full Field II 6.5-20x)that I was not using. I also had a .308 reloading set up with brass, primers etc but no gun. So I saw this Remington 700 SPS in the Black Dog gun shop in Soldotna with...

10-11-10 Chrono testing and accuracy with Vitavory N140. (I have wanted this powder for a while but its made from unobtainium meaning I could never find it in stock until a few days ago at the Sportsmans warehouse. They only had 1 pound) Gun Larue Stealth 24.1 grains (Sierra recommended...

9-20-10 I was trying to find a load that would give me good accuracy in my Larue but reach 2750 fps. (So the load would match my Nightforce scopes BDC reticle) I was hoping tac would work with magnum primers. I read on line that the mag primers helped with this powder to get a more efficient...
