Re: F/TR Shooting Positions I use ventilated shotgun recoil pads on my rifles and they work well. Just remember if you use a shoulder pad or replace your factory butt pad with a longer butt pad you are changing your eye relief and LOP. I've seen shooters crawl up or around to the side of a...

Re: over the shoulderI mag bag Think they are called a Murse

Re: Heartbeat Control Only time I've seen shooters troubled by pulse is when they are straining a lot, either because the ground or shooting platform isn't level, they are a bit out of shape or- they are using a very high scope power setting that shows every little twitch so the shooter...

Re: Hurricane Irene Looks like Vermont is flooding. Philly got wet but nothing like other folks. Good thing there was plenty of warning and everyone who was supposed to do something did do something. The Jersey Governor was pretty blunt about the need to evacuate.

Re: Single load or magazine feed I've watched quite a few shooters slop feed fast enough to stay up with the fastest of spotters, especially if the range is out past 600 yards. Also seen a few shooters short stroke it due to keeping cheekweld and a little stressed. Fed from the mag rounds...

Re: Most popular weight of .308 commercial ammo? Federal Gold Medal Match 168s are probably the most popular store bought ammo out there. Under 800 yards Hornady 168s are probably the best. I REALLY like the 168 Amax for target and hunting. Took a really nice 8pt out at 486 yards with the...

Re: TERRORISTS ARE IN MY TOWN! Associated Press. Yeah, posing as Christians and driven from a homeland they occupied since before written history makes a hellova cover story. Technically the chaldeans are assyrian and pre-date the arab peoples. But the stick together aspect is nothing new...

Re: Bullet Trace I live in a lower humidity area. Mornings seem about the best time. High heat and humidity interferes with seeing trace. But so does high heat and very low humidity. High humidity boosts the mirage effect and creates a gaussy curtain that is difficult to see through. Low...

Re: I just don't get it, Illumination asi- Rather than tag something on the internet to learn something, here is a novel concept- go DO the scenerio and see for yourself, gub'na. Don't be a Scouser, get up off the couch and try it for yourself. Now the elimination of other factors comes...

Re: MOA base question Cserv- Most scopes these days have enough internal adjustment for a 20moa base. Only scope I ever had trouble with was an old MK IV that had a 20moa slant built in. Combined with my 20MOA base I had to use milhold for 100 yards. Depending on scope height, 50moa...

Re: Impingement vs Piston The piston system also runs a bit cooler as the hot gases are not dumped into the receiver. I'd rather have my charging handle up front than at the back of the receiver on my 308 AR. Cant have a simple cheek pad with a traditional charging handle.

Re: I just don't get it, Illumination I thought the scope's power was around 10 to 14X. Now when discussing 'speed' part of that is FOV to find the bad guy to begin with. Your example, using a higher power to wash out the reticle and show just the face of a posed bad guy, isn't realistic...

Re: Bi-Pods I wait and buy mine in the bargain cave at Cabela's (Hamburg, Pa.). A swivel Harris that was retailing @ $104.00 for $73.00. Half my bipods have the podlock and half have the knurled knob tightened a bit with a pair of pliers. Both ways work well enough, the podlock favors...

Re: M&P or XD Several people who liked my XD didn't appreciate the XDM. Felt odd in the hand, and recoil was sharper for the same caliber. I haven't shot one. Do like my XD over the Glock and I found the MP's trigger pull a bit rougher. The 4" XD handles the best in my opinion, but my 5"...

Re: I just don't get it, Illumination Jon- I said if you cant ID the target don't shoot at it. In all your examples I see the unlit reticle. Infact I see it rather clearly. Now to understand the example better, what scope/reticle/power setting are you using? Is it FFP? How far away is your...

Re: 155Amx vs. 175SMK what is better? I'd make the older SMKs my second choice to everything else. I'd also start reloading or looking at other sources for ammo. Hornady makes a good 178Amax load.

Re: aircraft carrier Never thought I'd see the day where WE, or at least some of we, would lament having an open society. The sooner or later quote is a primary reason most of Europe plunged into the horrific bloodletting of WWI. Not one I'd like our leaders to use when shooting from the...

Re: official shtf plan what you gonna grab Taco Bell is food only after 2am and after quite a few adult beverages.

Re: I just don't get it, Illumination No Jon, I said alot of things about using the illum reticle. You just choose to dwell on one point that a few scopes are slightly better at doing. Bottom line and this is something I used to watch happen to dozens of shooters several times a year as well...
