    Range Report Experiments in OBT

    I have sold under a lucky star and have been granted access to some very nice high speed data acquisition equipment for the summer. My thoughts are to design some experiments around OBT theory. My initial plan is to instrument the chamber and muzzle with strain gauges to detect the travel of...

    Insurance

    My google-fu came up short on the topic of insurance and I'd like some opinions from the Hide. Recent break-ins in our small town have sent me scurrying to upgrade my security, but also to think about an insurance policy for the ole' collection. One day you own a couple of hunting rifles...

    Rifle Scopes Luck with scope tracking

    To-date, I have always had very good luck with my Razors and NXS's with value/click to be very close as advertised. Some of my cheaper scopes, not so much. All of this is somewhat expected, of course. So, my question is this. Have you pretty much had the same experience with your higher-end...

    New Surgeon Ordered

    My 1581 XL shipped on Fri. Having it sent to Hart for barreling. Looks like I am going to go 338 Norma Mag. But a 338 LM would not have any flies on it either. Decisions....Decisions...

    Rifle Scopes New job...New scope

    So, I am going to treat myself to an NXS 3.5-15x50 HSZS to put on my bull barreled AR in 308. Will use out to 800 yds. I even have a spousal writ of approval. Any reason to go 5.5-22? I already have one and really like it on my 338. But for this rifle, I wanted some more FOV. Wanted to...
