    Straight back behind the rifle-question #7,823

    Ok so first off, I did the online training for awhile and currently study and re-study the SH videos from LL. I have tried, tried and tried again to get straight back behind the rifle. If the butt of the rifle is where my collar bone meets my neck, and I force my neck up and to the right, I can...

    Accessories APC chassis -American flag - Howa 1500

    I bought this rifle honestly due to the American flag chassis...but after shooting it (~150rds) I realized I just prefer an old school style chassis/stock. Not sure what it’s worth but just trying to offset cost of new chassis. How about $400 shipped CONUS. Comes with 10rd mag shown. Had to...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Versamax POA/POI issue

    So I bought a versamax 12ga years ago from the original buyer. I hunted a little and shot skeet some with it and did ok...knowing that I was the weak link. Fast forward to this year and I have gotten serious about spring gobblers so I take the time to pattern the gun (shame on me for not doing...

    F T/R Competition Another HUGE thanks to Jeff Rorer

    About a month ago Jeff invited me down to shoot 1,000yds with him. Quite intimidating to say the least; like playing a few games of HORSE with a NBA All-Star. Gobs of fun and learned a lot, including that my wind reading abilities are still horrible. Sorry, no pics but basically my groups...

    More load testing today, have questions (308win)

    I have been doing a ton of load testing for over a year now but today was the first time using my Magnetospeed chrono vs the cheap Chrony I had been using. First impression of the unit is I really dig it, awesome....for all the known reasons; ease of set-up, use and data collection. I also am...

    F T/R Competition A slightly different barrel cleaning question

    Hope everyone had a merry Christmas! So my gun does shoot just as good, if not better with more rounds down the tube (Criterion 30" SS). Usually I clean when I get home, whether that's 20 rounds or 200, but not because it needs cleaning, but because I don't know how long it will be before I...

    F T/R Competition Got winded at Butner 12/2/12

    Well this past Sunday was my second match (1k). Oddly enough my first was the same match at Butner one year ago. Just like last time I met some great people. I would like to give a huge thanks to Ken Barfield of DoubleHgunsmithing…don’t know if he’s on here or if I can even post that but...

    First time annealing, need help

    Ok so I put together quite the rig but want to try this annealing stuff out before I make the switch to $$ lapua brass. This is Win brass (.308). What I am doing now is rotating the torch so that the inner blue tip is right in the center of the shoulder between the neck and the side of the...

    F T/R Competition Success!! Finally! Long story....long

    I know I sound like a broken record but I feel it needs to be repeated as much as possible. The good Lord put some awesome people in my life to get me where I am now: Jeff Rorer, Clint Cooper, Darrell Buell, Andrew McCourt, Bohem, Shredder58, Ed Shell, Memilanuk and I am sure there are more I...

    F T/R Competition Vertical issues with "bunny ear" rear bag

    All this bag talk got me thinking. I have a set of homemade poly filled bags I normally use but still have a cheap caldwell bunny ear bag that I don't use due to the vertical groupings I get with it (just as I was told I would). So my question is, what causes this and is there something I am...

    F T/R Competition Savage F/TR Barrel issue

    I just noticed this chunk missing tonight while cleaning the barrel. I can feel it with a patch, guessing .5mm deep. I can't tell if there are any other bad spots in the bore other than this, no bore scope. By mouzetrap at 2012-04-11 Gun has exactly 598 rounds through it, 250 since last...

    F T/R Competition LRA Bipod on my Savage FTR

    I have been in the market for a new bipod that was more FTR style than my Harris but not quite to the level of the Centershot or Sinclair, (which I was real close to just making my own if I had to go that route). I wanted something as wide and solid as I could get but still fold up and be...

    F T/R Competition F T/R Competition here I come!

    Well, I did the 1,000yd thing....and.... I am HOOKED!! A huge-igantic thanks goes out to USFTR on here! Up until yesterday, the furthest for me was 300yds. He graciously offered up his time and experience to give me a F T/R-101 class at the range, and wouldn't take a dime! We started out...

    Savage F-T/R Part 2

    Well this is my second outing with this gun. First and foremost I have to thank Shredder58 for getting me to this point. Who knows how many countless hours he has spent answering the mountain of e-mails/PM's I have sent him and even on the phone for ~2hrs total. He upped the "help bar" by...

    Member Link Up Place to shoot .308, 500-1000yds in VA

    Well I've done the wheretoshoot.org thing, emailed & called but nothing really promising. I can't get in touch with anyone at Cavalier (hear it's a decent waiting list too) and I am just outside the Quantico 60 mile radius thing (Mechanicsville) and fwiw I'm non-military. Anywho, I am for sure...

    Savage F/TR 308 WIN, first time out

    Well, it's out with the...ehhh...new and in with the newER! I previously had a DPMS and with the guidance of Casey Simpson and a few others on here, I was able to get it to shoot really well for a $900 gas gun. The problem: I am too much of a diva so I sold it and bought a bolt gun. First...

    2nd outing with DPMS LR308

    Overall it was a crappy range day...between the rain and crazy wind, I didn't get many chances to shoot. I put a new scope on this gun with a badger ordnance 22moa rail so it took me a few rounds to get it on at 100yds. After the rain stopped, I painted and set up this target at 250yds which...
