    Scratch-resistant glasses and/or lens treatments

    The problem: I'm routinely damaging my shooting glasses and it's starting to piss me off. I don't need corrective lenses but I do religiously wear eye pro when shooting. When I shoot ARs with iron sights from some positions, my nose is right up against the charging handle and sometimes my...

    Iron sight and QD scope mounts for a P94S

    I recently bought a Sako P94S 22lr rifle with an unadorned barrel, no open sights. I'd like to shoot it with both irons and a scope. What are my options for getting a set of iron sights for it? Sako doesn't make these any more and some time on Google didn't turn up any factory options...

    What to do with this OCW workup (.308, 180 gr SST bullets, IMR 4064)?

    Some time ago, Midway had blemished 180 gr .308 ballistic tip bullets on clearance, so I bought a bunch. I'm reasonably confident they're Hornady SST bullets. Finally got around to using them, so I loaded some up in once-fired Federal M1A brass (same as FGMM brass as far as I can tell). Rem 9...

    Yet another "which rifle" thread - looking for a great 22lr factory rifle

    Background: I'm a rimfire newbie, looking to get my first quality 22lr bolt rifle for target shooting. Not looking for a project - really prefer one that requires no work out of the box, and when I miss with decent ammo (I have a case of Wolf Match Target to get started with), I'll know it was...

    Rifle Scopes Scope Tracking Test

    Any reason not to do this at 25 yards? Background - probably just pilot error, the nut behind the trigger, but I was shooting my TRG42 last week and at 900 yards 5.9 mils up was right on, but dialed up to 10 to hit a target around 1250, and the rounds were impacting way off to the left. I...

    When to bump shoulder back?

    I have some Lapua 338LM brass that only gets fired out of one gun, a TRG42. I've been neck sizing only. Using a Hornady comparator, I've measured the case length to the shoulder and (unsurprisingly) the brass is growing. Random sample of cases: fired AVG 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 0x 2.3224...

    Rifle Scopes Scope focus question

    Pardon the ignorance. I'm sure there's a simple answer. I'm finding that the distances marked on the side focus / parallax adjustment of my S&B 5-25 aren't matching up with observation in the real world. For example, if the target is at 100, in order for the target to be crisp and clear...

    OCW for 338LM with Berger 250 Hybrids

    OCW workup today. I've shot the 250 gr Berger hybrids before after a quick load workup, and thought I'd revisit them today. This was out of a 338 Lapua Magnum TRG-42 with 1x12" twist. New Lapua brass, Redding neck sizer only with a 365 bushing. Fed large rifle magnum match primers...

    155 Scenars out of 20" AR-10, what can I expect?

    I just ordered 200 of the 155 Scenars to try out in my 1:11.25 twist AR-10. (One of the last Armalite SuperSASS rifles before they went to a 1:10 twist.) So far it has liked 168 A-Max handloads best. Consistently 2/3 MOA accuracy if I do my part, and I'm not really that good a shot, yet...

    Rifle Scopes Which of these two mounts for a TRG42

    General advice please ... and a math check. The rifle is a TRG42 in 338LM. Scope is a S&B 5-25x56 PMII LP MSR CM CCW ... still in the box, haven't even fondled it yet and won't until I get home from deployment in a few months. If these questions sound stupid, like I've never looked...

    Berger .338 250 gr hybrid bullets changed?

    Midway says part #33104 "discontinued by manufacturer" ... http://www.midwayusa.com/product/457132/...match-box-of-50 These shot nice for me. I don't see 33104 listed on Berger's site any more. But they list these #33107: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/237046/...atch-box-of-100 Is this...

    Feedback on OCW workup for 338 LM please

    Just bought a TRG-42 chambered in 338 LM and decided to try out the OCW method for working up a load. I tried it once before with a .308 rifle but didn't get better results than my other approach, which was to load up a whole bunch of rounds and shoot a whole bunch of 5 & 10 shot groups...
