So this is an odd one..... When I shoot my rifle at .5" dots I hit every one almost every time. This would indicate that I/my rifle shoot at least .5 minutes with relative ease. However, when I shoot groups I almost always have a flyer. It must be me but I have no idea what the hell I'm doing...

Went to the range today and as usual something odd happened. When I shoot groups of five I usually shoot about a about . 5 to 1 minute. When I shoot ".5" dot drills" (shooting at 1/2 inch dots) at 100 meters I shoot .25 minutes. Meaning I hit every .5" dot every time - usually in the center...

I shot a rifle chambered in 270 WSM over the weekend and loved it. I've been assembling components for a new hunting rifle and am at the stage where I'll sending everything in to my smith to start the build but I still haven't finalized the caliber so I haven't purchased the barrel blank yet...

I have quite a few very high end firearms that I want to sell. Handguns, rifles, shotguns, and optics that are all in 99% or better condition. I thought an auction house might make sense. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

I recently watched a video within this section of a completion (good video by the way) and noticed that there were a few stations where one would have to run with their rifle before shooting as well as shoot off hand. With this in mind I started to wonder what their rifles weighed on average...

I have a small ranch in Montana and a lot of the young deer are being ravaged by the coyote’s so I decided to take it upon myself to remedy the problem. I have quite a few rifles that could do the job but quite frankly it would be overkill since most are 30 cal. or bigger. Therefore, I decided...

I'm reloading 6.5 creedmoor and when the cartridge is complete and I go to chamber the round it's REALLY tight. Factory Hornaday loads aren't tight. Here's what I'm using: 140 grn Berger VLD's seated to an OAL of 2.810 Hornaday once fired brass from my rifle RCBS dies Has anyone else...

TrackingPoint, the $27,500 rifle - Jun. 11, 2013

So I've been shooting groups trying to work up a load but am getting odd results. First, let me say that I can hit a 1/2" dot almost every time at 100 meters with one shot/first shot However, when I shoot for groups I get odd results. The first three or so shots will be touching but almost...

I'm thinking about buying a used Winchester model 70 that I can pick up really cheap but don't have any experience with them. Up to now I've either gone the custom route or with Remington actions as a starting point for a build. Are post 64' Winchester actions any good? Just looking for...

Will a 8.5 twist barrel stabilize a 140 grain bullet? And if not what would be the heaviest I could go with this twist rate?

I plan on buying a new scope for a new custom build chambered in 243. This will be a top end build so I'll be putting a high end scope on it. On the outside I'll be shooting out to 400-450 meters but the mojority of my shots will stay in the 200-300 meter range. It'll be used for varmit shooting...

This might seem crazy but does anyone know someone that will work up a load for money? Factory ammo for my custom build shoots 1/4 minute at 100 meters but when I jump to 200 meters my best group was 1 minute. I don't think it's me because with one of my other rifles I can shoot .5 minute all...

A lot of us spend around 3K on a really nice scope and they're worth every penny in my opinion. However, when at the range one must wear eye protection and most of the time the glasses have worse than bad glass or even worse plastic. If you don't need glasses to see correctly try looking through...

I don't hear much about Brux barrels hear on the hide. Are they any good? Seeking opinions on how they rank against the other custom barrells out there. I.E Hart, Rock and Kreiger ect....

I'm building a new low recoil varmint rifle and would like some suggestions on what caliber I should go with. The rifle will be used out for shooting paper and varmint’s out to 500 meters max - most of the time between 3-400 meters. My choices so far are: 220 swift, 22-250, and 6MM BR. Does...

Who does good camo painting with cerakote? Suggestions with images would be great!

Okay, hopefully I have enough posts and have been contributing to this site long enough that I can ask a few questions without getting any snide or “I’m irritated you should have done your research or posted this somewhere else” comments. Unfortunately my family and I have run into some tough...

I'm about to order some 6.5 CM ammo and would like to know what I should order. It's a new rifle so I don't know what it likes yet. However, I’d like to know from other CM shooters what your gun likes. I’m considering 120 GRN or 140 GRN Horneday. The barrel is a 24” MTU Krieger with a 1-8...
