    Using a Zero that isn't 100yd - Why?

    "Sighting in" is the process of obtaining the zero (vertical and horizontal) as a confirmed baseline (for specific load, bullet, atmospheric, et el parameters)........I prefer at 100 yds., based on experience confirming the wisdom input of "the masters." Agreed on dialing elevation; hold for...

    Best range finding binos for the money.

    For $850 shipped, the Sig 3000ABS have served well. Limited solutions to 800 yds lacking baro/temp sensors, can kink to Kestrel 5700 for unlimited ranges. I'm looking at updating to the 10K soon......just because.

    Portable shooting bench

    I find shooting on a sprung vehicle suffers from wind movement....no way around it. Lower to the ground, the better....no exceptions.

    Torque Wrench Reviews?

    Just FYI note. At Barrett last week for the MRAD and 82/107A1 Armorers courses. Discussed with instructor that the Fix-It-Stick 140in-lb torque limiter shipping with their MK22 Deployment Kit is specified at +/- 10% by manufacturer.......126-154in-lb range.......whopping wide. Instructor...

    Spotters Spotter 60/45

    Have Henny 60, along with NF 82, Vortex Razor 27-60x85 and Razor 11-33x50. Henny resolution and optics are slightly better than NF/Vortex, but not by much.......really splitting hairs, maybe not by your eyes.....in optics, beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.......maybe just a "want it to...

    A bad day at the range with the Hensoldt Zeiss Spotter 60

    Have the NF 82, Vortex Razor 27-60x86 and Razor 11-33x59 spotters, along with the Henny 60. Had looked through several friends' Hennys previously. I would never have bought the Henny for the price/performance/service (NOT!!!) difference. But, I got the Henny "FREE"......yeah, again proving...

    First post and requesting advice of course...

    If recoil is the only issue, there are options to deal with that. Lighter/slower bullet gives lower recoil. Heavier rifle deals with recoil.....add weight. Recoil dampener helps tame recoil. Rifle fit to shooter is critical to taming recoil. A poorly fitting stock will beat up the shooter...

    Newbie looking for first precision rifle advice

    I'll take dibs on all the 338 Lapua you can buy for $4-$6/round. ....more like $8-$15/round for quality factory in my world. 308Win is a venerable old warrior used for decades to make hits at the range you target....great for learning. If you ain't got a 308, you ain't a shooter, all newbies...

    Gun safe space.

    Others' comments about functional capacity is about half advertised capacity is pretty close. In regard to the "buy bigger" suggestions, consider multiple safes rather than the "buy biggest." Easier to move, spreads the breaching risk over more safes in the event of a theft attempt. Always...

    First Time AR15 Build - Please Help Me Not Be An Idiot

    One doesn't necessarily save money on a quality build over shopping around for a upper quality AR, but you do get the specific features you want in a self build, and are certainly more familiar with your finished firearm. Both Brownells and MidwayUSA have great free on-iine How To Videos in AR...
