Short Action Customs did both of our department-issued rifles with McMillan A5's a couple of years ago. Turn around was very quick, and the work was top notch.

I can't help you out on the xray chassis since I have no experience with it. My rifle has a McMillan A5. As far as a tripod is concerned, I have a Manfrotto XPROB-055. I picked it up on Amazon for about $150 with free shipping. I have the PIG saddle mounted directly to the tripod with no...

I completely agree with this. You will do yourself a greater favor by spending a little money on a tripod and a PIG saddle. I run this setup, and the ability to leave the rifle locked on your threat area exponentially reduces fatigue compared to holding it up with sticks. It also makes a much...

I use an LMT MWS. It has been a great rifle for what I have it for (heavy patrol rifle to supplement my SBR .223). My agency leaves this open as an option for guys to carry in addition to the department mandated .223, and we have a mixture of Sig 716's and Ruger SR762's being used. We all...

It has been my experience that I use the bottom end of my magnification range more than I use the top end on operations. My rifle has a 3.5-10 Leupold on it (came that way before I had any say in our equipment), and sometimes that 3.5 seems like too much. Certainly, there are times when higher...

I have the 5.5-22x on two of my rifles (.338 LM and .50). I considered the 8-32x, but the internal adjustment (or lack thereof) was a big turn-off. Either one is a quality optic, but you can probably hit whatever you want at the ranges you listed with the 22x. I seldom go above 15x inside of...

I am using 64-66 MOA (depending on DA) to get to a mile with 300 SMK's being pushed by 91.0 grains of Retumbo. Rifle is a TRG-42 with a NF 5.5-22 on a Near 45 MOA base.

There are a few. Not as many I there were when I was growing up. Maybe Doug knows some places that I don't to find some p-dogs. Used to have a place just a few miles east of town that you could shoot them just as far as you could see them until a pipeline was put through the middle of the...

Mostly a TRG 42 in .338 LM. I also have an AR-50, but the .338 is a better ELR round for me since I don't have a whole lot of time behind the .50 yet. I have a .308 as my duty rifle that I use inside of 1000 also.

The plate at the Green River range is a pretty big plate. It is a piece of dump truck tail gate that myself and a couple of other guys set up. It's about 30 inches square. As Doug said, there are some places around Rock Springs that are well over 2000 yards. I have a spot in Farson that is...

Re: .338 lapua...What powder to use for 300g I run 91 grains of Retumbo behind a 300 grain SMK in my TRG 42. It seems to be a very temperature stable powder, and has delivered great results from -10 to +90 degrees.

Re: Professional and LE Snipers. Dope Question? I run a 100 yard zero, and have dope every 25 yards between 25 and 200, then every 50 between 200 and 1000. Lots of open country and people with scoped hunting rifles in this part of the world, and not all of them have the best of intentions.

Re: using a stock pack with an adjustable cheeck rest I use an Eagle pack on my duty rifle, which is a 700 with a McMillan A5 with an adjustable cheek rest. No issues at all, and it makes the rifle more pleasant to shoot during extended training sessions and lay on for extended times during...

Re: Face targets I used our agency's jail photo system. I selected photos of inmates that were only booked once and showed out-of-county addresses to avoid possible complaints (got to love small communities sometimes). The photos were saved as .jpg images. The photos were then imported...

Re: Trg-22 ? I can't speak for the TRG 22, but I recently purchased a TRG 42 338LM. It is an awesome rifle. And as others have said...a HUGE +1 for Alex at Euro Optics. Probably the easiest buying experience I have had.

Re: McM A5, Riser-fall.. I had this problem. I used some blue loctite on the threads and cranked down on the screws. No problems since.

Re: Law Enforcement Guys LE sniper here. As was put to me in my basic class--you only need three things for a successful deployment: Gun, Ammo, and Water. With that said, I carry a few extra things in my Eberlestock pack to help me out. With the weather being quite unpredictable in this...

Re: Optimal LEO Scope My issued rifle has a Leupold Mk 4 3.5-10X40 on top. It's a decent optic, but, having shot through a few, the Nightforce is a lot more glass for a little more money IMO. From a pure shooting aspect, the 10x will get you to 1000 yards on a man-size target if you do your...
