    Is a rangefinder a "necessary" part of LRS?

    Thanks for all the input everyone. I don't hunt (although I hope to get into it one day), and right now I don't feel confident enough to compete. So all of my shooting right now consists of either range time with known distances or involves me shooting paper or steel out in the boonies. Since...

    Is a rangefinder a "necessary" part of LRS?

    Before I started this thread, I was planning on buying the Vectronix Terrapin. I'm a buy once cry once guy, and I know I'd end up spending more money in the long run if I didn't just get the Terrapin right off the bat. But now I'm wondering why using my GPS wouldn't work. My GPS spec sheet...

    Is a rangefinder a "necessary" part of LRS?

    Like the title says, is a laser rangefinder considered a necessary piece of equipment for long-range shooting? Are most of you guys (or girls) using this if you aren't at a range with known distances? Or do you mess around with Google Earth, or mark a waypoint with GPS, etc? Right now I...

    B&C stock vs. AI stock...

    I've got a Remington 700 with a B&C Medalist A5 stock and a Timney 510 trigger. The B&C stock hasn't been bedded... I didn't want to venture into that on my own without having done it before - so I just installed it with the screw and torque wrench. If I were to upgrade the stock to an AI 1.5...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 1-4x Reticle... Ease of use?

    You probably just saved me $500. But then again, you might have just cost me $800! :) Anyone else have any thoughts? I absolutely love my Vortex 6-24x - I know the 1-4x will be good glass with great quality, and a great company backing it.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 1-4x Reticle... Ease of use?

    I'm looking to get a good tactical scope in the 1-4x range to mount on an AR15. I'll be shooting torso-sized steel (or other similarly sized targets) from close range out to 500 meters or so. The only two scopes I own (and have experience with) are a Viper PST 6-24x FFP and a Burris...

    Rifle Scopes Desired features of a hunting scope vs. a sniper's scope...

    Due to my years of schooling and line of work, I've used the metric system for a long time. The whole SFP, MOA thing just seems completely counterintuitive for me, and seems like it puts more constraints on usability (and requires more complex math). I just don't see why anyone would use them...

    Rifle Scopes Least expensive First Focal Place, Mil/Mil scope???

    He is mounting this on a Remington R25 (.308 semi-auto). I think he'd be crazy to put a $300 scope on this gun. I don't know much about the R25, but I'm sure it's not super accurate (when compared to a bolt-action or a high-end .308 auto), so maybe putting a 5-25x scope on it is overkill. The...

    Rifle Scopes Desired features of a hunting scope vs. a sniper's scope...

    I've never been hunting. I'm also not a sniper, but I do enjoy practical long-range shooting. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but it seems like hunters more commonly use a SFP reticle with a more simplified cross-hairs design, whereas a sniper (or someone doing practical long-range...

    Rifle Scopes Least expensive First Focal Place, Mil/Mil scope???

    Awesome guys! I knew you'd point me in the right direction! It looks like the Falcon Menace stuff may be the best option for him. Kyshootnman - on your 5.5-25x Falcon, which reticle do you have? Falsecrack - regarding your comment, are you saying you wouldn't trust this hunting?

    Rifle Scopes Least expensive First Focal Place, Mil/Mil scope???

    Hi all - I have a friend who is shopping for a scope. He has used my Vortex Viper PST 6-24x, and he really likes it, but it's more than he can spend. He really wants First Focal Plane and Mil/Mil though. I know SWFA makes a 3-9x that fits this criteria for $599, and Weaver makes a 3-15x...

    Target shooting and wildfires...

    Re: Target shooting and wildfires... There aren't any official closures or restrictions at the moment regarding shooting (other than no tracer ammunition). But the thought of having to pay the cost of extinguishing a wildfire is pretty scary, even if the risk is small. When shooting paper...

    Will benchrest practice help or hinder with prone?

    Re: Will benchrest practice help or hinder with prone? Wow... thanks both of you. 'Nuff said. I knew they were different types of shooting but I wasn't sure just how different they are. Now I know! There is another range that is set up for bench, but I've gone there before and laid down...

    Will benchrest practice help or hinder with prone?

    This might sound like a stupid question, but I'm really hoping for some good advice from people more experienced than I am. I just started the online training here a few weeks ago and am loving it. My desire is to start competing F-class, so the emphasis on shooting prone with glass is exactly...

    Target shooting and wildfires...

    Not sure what subforum this should be in... ??? I'm a college student and I'll be headed back home to Utah for the summer. I want to bring my rifle since I'll have tons of free time. There have been dozens of wildfires in Utah over the past few weeks that were all reportedly started by...

    Question about mounting Atlas to B&C Medalist A5..

    Re: Question about mounting Atlas to B&C Medalist A5.. Everything in that thread talked about forends that are different from mine. That entire black area is recessed in, so I don't think any of the methods described would work. ETA: OK... I think I've found a solution from B&T here. I...

    Question about mounting Atlas to B&C Medalist A5..

    I've read the threads here at SH talking about the best way to do this... I've ordered the Seekins SRS B&C 2.5" rail. However - I'm confused about how this will be mounted under the forend. My stock only has one sling stud in it, and just past that (maybe 1/4") is a hex screw. Do I unscrew...

    Member Link Up Nebraska members

    Re: Nebraska members Hey fellow Nebraskans - I'm new to the state - lived here for about a year. Need to find some people to shoot with (and some places to shoot as well)! I'm used to Utah where I can drive out to the desert and shoot wherever! ETA: I'm living in Omaha.

    Does a McMillan stock really make a difference?

    Re: Does a McMillan stock really make a difference? Thanks for the replies everyone. One thing that is difficult is that I don't know anyone with any of these stocks, and the stores around me like BassPro, Cabelas, or Scheels don't have this kind of thing (not that I know of). So I can't...
