    Short Action Precision rifle sling review

    Excellent sling, well thought out. SAP has listened to what the competitive shooters want and delivered a first class product. Everybody is jumping in the sling designs with the quick adjust for shooting positional. But when shooting in a competition, time is a big factor and the quick connect...

    Rangefinder Recommendations...

    For bow and shooting the Swarovski monocular is a great choice. For shooting, the Swarovski 10x42 ranging binos are the hot ticket, they will do incline correction but won't hit the close targets for bow hunting. My binos have proven themselves side by side with the terrapin on several occasions...

    Sniper’s Hide Cup Official 2013 Sniper's Hide Cup 5/23 - 5/25

    Missing Bipod. I loaned a bipod to a guy on my squad and he said he put it in the back seat of my truck. Must not have been my truck. So, if you found an extra bipod in your back seat could you please PM me, I would like to get it back. What a match, had a great time. ROs were great, the winds...

    Kestrel ballistic computers

    Yes it is done on the kestrel unit. Since the fps is input from guestamation or using a chrono it will get you pretty close if not right on. If the dope output doesn't match up adjust the velocity on the kestrel to match the kestrel come ups. BC will come from the bullet manufacturer DA and and...

    Kestrel ballistic computers

    The Horus is pretty much spot on no matter where you go. Smaller than a phone and easier to use. Input the rifle and load with all the specifics like velocity and BC and it gives you the elevation and wind hold for just about any given distance. It is best when you use true dope from a know...

    Rifle Scopes Badger rings QC?

    I've had the same problem. Badger rings I bought around four years ago work fine and have left light acceptable marks to no marks at all, however, the badger rings I have bought in the last two years have left deep unacceptable marks on my scopes and were replaced with other brand rings, but too...

    Statement from Kestrel. Battery corrosion. Must Read.

    Kudos to Kestrel for standing behind their product and recognizing the SH community input. Sometimes as a consumer you need to be a little smarter about protecting your investment, in this case that happens to be the batteries you installed.

    Which Caliber should I get??? Here is some info, you decide

    You're working with a hope and a prayer that your barrel life is that long and not taking into account the upper end components most reloaders will opt to work with.

    Action Comparison (Stiller, Surgeon, Defiance, etc...)?

    +1 on the Defiance Deviant. Surgeon doesn't seem to want to sell to the general public anymore. With the integrated lug and rail the deviant is the best thing going right now and operates very smooth

    7mm-08

    Re: 7mm-08 I've used the Amax for awhile now. My current 8.5 twist over stabilizes the bullet and it will only shoot good inside of 600 yards. I've seen better long range results out of 9 and 9.5. however according to the JBM stability calculator and the new Miller formula of only measureing...

    Re: 284 Win Build, help me spec out please! You're over thinking it. Call PT&G and talk to Dave Kiff, tell him what you want to do with it, what bullet, what brass, and he can set you up

    284 Win Build, help me spec out please!

    Re: 284 Win Build, help me spec out please! 162 Amax is .313 with Win. brass. reamer neck is .317. Skip the Lapua and go with the Win brass. although it is a seasonal run and some times hard to find, it works great and you ahould see that 2950 fps pretty easy.

    Rifle Scopes Are S&B scopes really that much better?

    Re: Are S&B scopes really that much better? I compared Schmidt to NXS at the range and found the S&B to be brighter. Also compared USO, S&B, and Premier side by side as the sun went down, looking back into the dark area of the trees along a river @ 400 yds. the Schmidt lasted the longest...

    284 Shehane

    Re: 284 Shehane I built a Shehane so I could get 284 long action performance out of a short action in my tactical rifle. It runs 162 Amax @ 2970 and can easily go over 3000. accuracy is great, fire forming is no big deal and it still shoots well when fire forming. I had a 7 saum and prefer my 284
