    vortex bubble level

    If you're searching for the ultimate accuracy, forget about the reticle. First, you need a plumb bob. Align the vertical part of the reticle along the string (= parallel) and check if the cross tracks it perfectly when you dial the vertical turret. In this position a good scope should track the...

    Re: Mossberg Chainsaw? WTF?!?!? Two ways to kill a man : - gunner way : throw as many bullets as necessary till your ennemy dies because of Lead poisoning ; - sniper way : one shot one kill. Because of increasing price of lead and copper, I prefer the second option ;-) (though I do not...

    Advanced Marksmanship The effect of free recoil on POI

    Re: The effect of free recoil on POI The gas produced by the burning powder gives a higher pressure inside the case. This pressure is the same everywhere, but there is a moment when the bullet has too much pressure and begins to move to the muzzle. When you are in a small boat, and you want...

    Re: I need DOPE!!! Snipers please help Check your reticle-bore alignment : if you draw a vertical line from the center of the scope (the cross) to the ground, this line must be exactly in the middle of the bore. If the bore is a little to the left it must aim to the right to hit your POA at...

    Re: Accuracy with a .22LR. Thank you all. I'll check my scope with another gun, about the screws I'm sure they're ok, I checked them just before I shot. And I'll buy different boxes to see if one make is better than another, well if my gun prefers one rather than another.

    One shot, one kill ? No, one million shots....

    In Vietnam, 2000 rounds were shot to kill a man (though a sniper used an average 1,7 round for one man). Can you imagine the amount of rounds used, with such a weapon ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEu9LLQpOF8
