I've been on a search for a couple of years to find the "best" head to mount my spotting scope. Until now I've been using a Markins M20 ballhead, which, while a great head for photographic purposes, leaves something to be desired because it is a "ballhead", which means one knob loosens the mount...

This month's issue (March) of Outdoor Life has a good article on long-range shooting skills and gear. Topics include GA Precision, ITTS Tactical, Central Cascade Precision, ethics of long-range hunting and more.

I searched, lot's of info over many posts but my question is sort of specific. I'm planning a CZ 455 build dropped in a Manners stock. It will mostly get shot at 25 yards. So far I'm looking at Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x 42mm and Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x44, but the Viper may be out as they...

I got lucky and found myself on a horsepack elk hunt in Montana. It was a last minute opportunity and my .30-06 was in the shop getting a new stock, so my buddy met me there and loaned me his .300WM with a ballistic reticle. We had just enough ammo and time to confirm zero at base camp, which...

I'm in Orange County and looking for a place to safely shoot .338LM to 1,500 yards or further. Have spent the last hour searching, but was unable to find a positive confirmation on a legal place to shoot that far. Hodge Rd. rumored closed to shooting, and Ft. Irwin seems maxed out at 600...

Need to buy a good-quality small tripod to hold (in prone) my Swaro Field Guide and my Swaro 80 spotting scope. Any recommendations for tripod and mount, the small pods at the local camera store all seem cheesy? Ashbury/Vectronix and Gitzo GT2840C are too expensive, table top camera tripods are...

I just attended Central Cascade Precision’s July 15-18, 2010 Precision Long Distance Rifle course after finding this school here on Sniper's Hide. I’ve done precision rifle courses with two other schools and those were excellent courses and I learned valuable things from each of them...

Anyone been to this? If so please let me know if this is the class I'm looking for or if you recommend another. I'm in California so it's easier to drive to Gunsite than fly to Rifles ONly, but I can do either based on recommendations. I've done precision rifle classes with TacPro and ITTS...
