I moved to Jacksonville Florida recently and I'm looking for a decent place to shoot long range. I found a very close and convenient range, however it only goes out to about 80 yards. I'd like to do some 500+ yard shooting, but can't find anything nearby. I see there's a Manatee range in Myakka...

I finally got out to shoot my FAL with suppressor today since I got it cut down to 16" and had the mount put on so I can use my suppressor with it. I set the gas port up initially so all the gas would hit the piston and shot the rifle with no suppressor and was happy that it functioned fine. I...

First, apologize for the pictures of looking right at my ass. I went shooting this past weekend and have usually gone alone in the past. Have always intended to get straight behind the rifle, but Branden noticed that I wasn't straight back and corrected my position. Felt really wrong, but it...

I finally got my FAL put together (IAI M-444 all Imbel rifle). I’ve had it for a number of years, but hadn’t shot it for a while because I took the EOTech off it for my machinegun and because it was so unbelievably loud with the muzzle break it had on it. It also was a little long with a 20+...

This past week I finally bought myself a Sig P238 and shot it yesterday. I like the size of it and love the feel. When the Ruger LCP came out, I almost bought it, but really didn’t want to get away from the 1911 platform since I’ve sold almost any non-1911’s and am trying to standardize. The...

So I broke down today and bought a Sig P238. When the Ruger LCP came out I really considered buying one to have a super compact backup gun, but I'm a 1911 guy and just didn't want all my muscle memory to get me killed switching between firearms. When the P238 came out I knew I had to get one and...

I got the target a while back and was trying to decide the best way to mount it for shooting. I'd been planning to hang it from the holes, but was concerned about a round breaking the chain or material I used to hang it. Also, all the ideas I had for a hanging system ended up with pretty...

Just got one a while back and threw it in my pack along with my other shooting gear. It came with a soft case, but I'm a little concerned it's going to get damaged. Wondering if anyone knows how rugged these are? If they're not that rugged, anyone know of a hard case for them that would...

I received my new AR500 steel target from Bobcat steel yesterday. I was pretty surprised that it came without a box or any real packaging, then realized that would be silly since it's a huge tough piece of steel and that the other packages were the ones in danger around this thing. The address...

What I really would like to do is build up a Remington 700 in .22LR to use as a trainer for my regular rifle. I'd like to drop it in a McMillan A5 and put a similar scope to what I'm using on my .308. I saw that the CMP is offering this: <span style="font-weight: bold">Remington 40X - Heavy...

Just a suggestion, but I don't like that the rifle forum got split between semi and bolt action. In my opinion, the best online communities are the ones that are fairly active and have a fairly small number of forums to view. When the forums are split too narrowly, people end up only focusing on...

I got my dream rifle from GAP a few months ago and I'm thinking of unloading my 700P. I can't think of any good reason to keep it since I have the GAP rifle also in .308. It's a great gun and great shooter but it's kind of redundant. With suppressor: Any reason to keep it? If not, what's a...

I put together a range card a while back for a load I cooked up using www.jbmballistics.com. I was using 155 grain scenars and they were going about 2850 fps. When I took this load to a competition, it was a bit off. As I got out to extended ranges, the rounds were impacting lower than they...

Through the scope, the wrong way...

Got out to shoot yesterday with the guys from the Big Piney Sportsman's club in the Tactical Marksmanship match. They do 2 matches, an F-Class type match where you shoot 5 shots prone @ 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, and 800 yards. Yesterday was teh first time I tried the Tactical match...

I transferred my NXS scope from my 700P to my new GAP rifle this last weekend. I unscrewed the rings from the base, but left the rings on the scope. I placed the scope on the new rifle and got behind it in the prone position to test eye relief. I moved it back and forth a little and then decided...

I got my dream rifle put together by GAP recently and I'm in love with her. Specs: .308 Win Badger M2008 Action 22" Bartlein Barrel 1 in 10 twist M5 Bottom metal Jewell Trigger McMillan A5 stock with KMW loggerhead cheekpiece AAC Blackout flash suppressor AAC 762SD suppressor Nightforce NXS...

So I got my new rifle from yesterday and I love it except for the weight. It's a heavy rifle with everything attached (scope, suppressor, bipod, etc), weighs in at around 18.5 lbs according to my bathroom scale. I don't know how well I'd be able to take a shot offhand, it's tough to hold up...

I've been carrying an extra magazine in my pocket when I carry my 1911 and it irritates me and it's not the best place for it since it tends to pick up lint. Also, not the most accessible place for it. I've decided to buy a 1911 magazine holster, there are a ton out there I don't know what to...

I'm pretty irritated with this. I've gotten great results with the RCBS Chargemaster, and I love the stupid thing when it's working. Mt first one just wouldn't come on one day. I was able to send it back to Midway since it was fairly new and they replaced it. I got the replacement in July of...
