    New McMillan HTG M40A1 smear stocks!!!

    Defender, I have shot the rifle you're holding in that match. Myself and Chase won that Match with it in April 2016 I believe. We also won it in Sep 2015, but I used a PWS M40A1 and Chase used that rifle. The CMP is getting ready to update the Vintage Sniper Match rules to allow rifles from...

    WTB A.R.M.S. #7 STANAG Mount

    Looking to buy an A.R.M.S. #7 STANAG mount. They discontinued this mount. If not this mount, than a similar mount the performs the same function of mounting a STANAG scope mount to a picatinny rail will also work. Pricing can be discussed if you have a mount you want to sell. Picture below of...

    Night Vision Need Knowledge on the M644 & M646

    Thanks. The listing labeled it as: ”NVEC Raptor M646 Gen 3 Night Vision 6x magnification NV Weapon Sight LENS ONLY” But they don’t seem to know anything about it. The rest of their Estore is unrelated stuff.

    Night Vision Need Knowledge on the M644 & M646

    The one I'm looking at now has the cross hair reticle. Do the elevation and windage turrets allow you to adjust the reticle repeatably like a day scope? That what I understand. I want the 6x because if I get a mildot reticle, the 6x would make the dots more usable for hold off and adjusting...

    Night Vision Need Knowledge on the M644 & M646

    I've been looking for an M646 or Aquila 6x/PVS-12 for a short time. They seem hard to find since it most likely will be a private sale but I have a possible opportunity and need some answers. Right now I have a chance to get the M644 (4x magnification). I want the 6x, and I know if I get the 4x...

    Night Vision (FOUND!) WTB or trade. Want M646 Raptor/Aquila f6x/PVS-12 NV Scope !

    I'm looking to buy or trade for an M646 Raptor NV Scope. Must be fully functional (mounts and holds zero, working knobs & turrets, minimal to no blems). Below is a picture of the scope I'm looking for, and pictures from, and optics I have for trade. I am willing to buy the night vision scope...

    How to reduce AR15 recoil WITHOUT adjustable gas block or muzzle brake?

    Thundermass, I get what you mean. That recoil won’t beat up a grown man. You could also dry developing a load that’s a bit lighter, I don’t know if Hornady maked a reduced recoil load for 5.56 but they have one for .308 and it’s MOA out of my rifles. For rapid fire, done well, you should be...

    How to reduce AR15 recoil WITHOUT adjustable gas block or muzzle brake?

    With this rifle, using a leather sling and removing the BUIS, pressure pad, and PEQ, I was able to shoot a 479-12X. The rifle weighs about 8.5 lbs. I know that doesn’t help but I just wanted to point it out that it’s possible to get better scores. The next time I shot service rifle was with the...

    How far would you shoot with a 2.5-10 power scope ?

    I have shot Long Range High Power at 1000 yards on 10x. My scope goes to 15x but the rifle was set up for supported prone, directly behind the rifle and I was shooting with a sling. I had to zoom out a bit to eliminate scope shadow and get a good sight picture. The aiming black is big (4 MOA)...

    PRS Talk Hypothetical Question-Holds Only Stage.

    If my reticle allowed, I would do something similar to what you said, but make it a bit more even. This way, I can keep my holds closer to the center of the view where my eye wants to look. If I have to hold for wind, it doesn’t seem as difficult if I’m 6.5 mils away from the horizontal stadia...

    Is it me, or is M80 Ball horribly inaccurate?!

    Going back to that research paper I mentioned, M80 ball is a copper alloy clad steel jacket. Overhead fire M80 ball is just a copper jacket. Non-overhead fire M80 ball has a mean radius standard of 7.5 inches at 600 yards with no extreme spread standard. Overhead fire M80 ball has a mean radius...

    Is it me, or is M80 Ball horribly inaccurate?!

    I have a custom bolt gun that will get half MOA with federal premium and it shoot M80 at about 1.5-2 MOA. Out of a test barrel, it must have a Standard Deviation of 32 feet. I believe the mean radius standard is 7.5” at 600 yards. The SD I’m sure of from reading a research paper on it. The mean...

    14/1000"

    Right. I'm talking just about movement of the rifle separate from external ballistics. This is about sight alignment and small movements of the rifle. I used this formula to drift iron sights for windage vs. using my windage knob.

    14/1000"

    Thanks. Although I need to give credit to Kenneth Royce, writer of Boston's Gun Bible. This formula pertains only to physically changing the sights to affect LOS. Are you referring to spin drift?

    hold or dial for wind?

    I have learned to do both but like others have said, it depends on the situation. -In High Power Rifle during slow fire stages where I have 1 minute per shot, I dial. If the wind changes, I can wait for it to come back to what I have dialed. My tactic is just to watch the flags and shoot when...

    Soviet vs German snipers

    Having only read three memoirs on this, it seems the Soviets had sniper training prior to the war, and employed snipers immediately when they went on the defense. On the German side, it seems that they brought snipers in a bit later, using captured Soviet rifles, and caught up later. For the...
