    F T/R Competition 2013 FCNC Raton NM

    Sorry folks, we had over an hour delay due to lightning; it rained a bit, but the lightning was what stopped it. I left just a few minutes ago (~6:30 pm local) and the final match wasn't finished yet. So the scores were not complete. Someone on a different relay may have them, otherwise it'll...

    Help finding Bartlein barrel in stock

    A (fairly) recent post here listed a couple different vendors that had a variety of Bartlein barrels in stock. Grizzly was one, but I can't seem to find the name of the other. I thought I bookmarked it, but can't locate it. Anyone know of other vendors that keep Bartlein barrels in stock...

    F T/R Competition 2012 F-Class National Championship (Updated-Final)

    The first (practice) day for the 2012 F-Class National Championship at Whittington Center in Raton, NM, is in the books. The temperature early was in the mid/upper 40s, but warmed up to the mid 60s by noon and was very pleasant. The wind...not so pleasant. The practice session was postponed...

    Muzzle protector

    I'm looking for some padded cloth/velcro muzzle covers to add a little extra protection to my precision rifles during air travel. I have them in Pelican 1750 cases, but they are long enough that the muzzle/crown is pretty close to the inside edge of the case. The type I'm looking for resemble...

    Range Report Twist rates and MV

    I have done a fair bit of experimenting with the effect of barrel length on MV and typically the numbers I have recorded fall in the expected 15-25 fps per inch barrel length range for .308. What I'm interested in finding out now is whether anyone has any information regarding how <span...

    F T/R Competition F-Class Midrange League Eastern Nebraska Gun Club

    Hi all, I'm posting this here for the Match Director of my former gun club in Omaha, NE. For the first time at ENGC, F-Class shooters will have a separate NRA-approved Midrange League of their own. These matches will consist of 3x20 rounds @ 600 yd. ENGC is an extremely nice facility and they...

    MagnetoSpeed Chronograph Review

    Sometime last fall, I became aware of a company (MagnetoSpeed) that was advertising a shooting chronograph that would employ an electromagnetic sensor to measure projectile velocity, rather than light sensors as commonly used in other moderately priced chronographs. The potential advantages to...

    Range Report Use one of these? Or wait?

    My question is for the 1000 yd F-Class shooters here. Having recently relocated to S. California, I now have the opportunity to shoot regularly in competitions out to 1000 yd. My previous range in Nebraska went to 600 yd, so midrange comps were the max. distance. I have been using a GAP...

    GAP Crusader+Applied Ballistics 175 Tactical load

    At the end of the month, I'll be relocating from Omaha, NE to San Diego, CA. Having recently acquired a GA Precision Crusader, I decided to enter a Mid-Range League competition at my local shooting range (Eastern Nebraska Gun Club). My main reasons for doing this were: 1) having had the...

    Monpod giving you that "sinking" feeling?

    I've seen quite a few comments that someone's rear monopod is sinking down into the ground during use and have experienced the same issue myself. Here is a quick and inexpensive mod that will help with that problem. Setup: Sig 556 DMR w Accu-shot BT12-QK01 mounted to Magpul PRS stock. I...

    Range Report Ambient Temperature and Muzzle Velocity

    I had planned to determine and compare muzzle velocities for a number of different factory .308 loads over the weekend. Specifically, I wanted to compare MVs out of two different barrels that differ by 8" in length. Earlier in the week, the high was predicted to be in the upper 40's to low...

    Sig 556 DMR Range Report/Barrel Twist Rate Issue

    I posted this report recently on the Sig Forum site. Sorry to Sniper's Hide members for the "sloppy seconds", but I was unaware of the existence of Sniper's Hide at the time. I guess the ghillie suits are working! In any case, it was suggested out to me that there might also be some interest...

    Range Report Question

    As a newbie, I wanted to ask about posting a range report for the Sig 556 DMR. I have a fairly detailed report that I have already posted on Sig Forum and it was suggested to me that it might be of interest to members here at Sniper's Hide. Specifically, the report doesn't exactly conform to...
