    Flying with a Bolt Gun

    Well, because it makes air travel with a rifle a lot less of a pain in the ass, it doesn't cause any problems, and it can be argued that your rifle is actually safer, as it is now a shorter lever for stress to act on. All else being equal, a shorter case is stiffer than a longer case, and the...

    Why not, and why would your zero change? Have you ever tried it? I have, a lot.

    Flying with a Bolt Gun

    If you can take the action out of the stock, it'll open up a lot of smaller case options.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Just an FYI, my form 4 stamp that was approved on 7/27 was delivered to my dealer on 8/27. He said he has seen many take close to 90 days from approval to delivery. So I guess my first suppressor purchase is complete after 15 months. Good job, feds.

    Suppressors Form 4 wait time

    Suppressor purchased on 5/28/20. It had to be transferred on a Form 3, which took 3 months. Form 4 filed on 8/22/220, check cashed on 12/16/21. Approved on 7/27/21. Only 14 months so far!

    Centra sight

    Service and match just refers to the direction the knobs turn. Match is clockwise for down and left, service is opposite.

    Centra sight

    It’s Jose, right? Yeah, I remember you. I thought you were more of a sporting clays guy?

    Centra sight

    It's made for NRA highpower/Long Range/Palma type of shooting. It is a precision sight and not really made for hard use, so probably not suited as a "backup" anything. Then again the Redfield sights that were part of the original M24 kit weren't intended for hard use either. If you bought the...

    Advanced Marksmanship Groups On Paper at 1000 - Here's what I learned

    Did you run into only of the regulars out there shooting 1000 yards from a sling with iron-sighted .308's?

    Lol, that’s what you took from this gem of a thread? You are going to fit right in here, new guy.

    Change to left handed?

    I think NineHotel about nailed it. Switching eyes is a heck of a lot easier than switching hands. Try walking around for a day with your dominant eye closed, you'll get used to it pretty quickly and it's not a big deal. After that, try spending a day using your left hand for all of the stuff...

    Advanced Marksmanship Lightweight .308Win rounds

    That’s a common misconception, but there are actually no bullet weight limits in US Palma. ICFRA-sanctioned competitions and some foreign countries limit weight, but we don’t here. Most of us actually do shoot them because we want to. Modern 155’s are not like the offerings from the old days...

    Advanced Marksmanship Lightweight .308Win rounds

    Yeah, I don't think it's worth it with a 20" barrel, you'd be better off going with a heavier bullet. I'm one of the palma guys mentioned above shooting a 30" barrel, so that makes it a lot easier, you'd probably be hard-pressed to get 2800 out of a 20".

    Advanced Marksmanship Lightweight .308Win rounds

    If you can get enough speed, you'llv be surprised by the performance. I shoot 155 hybrids and Sierra 2156's at around 3030, and they are both just great at 1000. They go transonic at right around 1200 yards in my part of the country, which is around 900' elevation. The attached target was...

    It opens up to a $5 bill when he shoots milsurp.

    I guess I got caught up on the accuracy claims and missed the break in part. OP, you spent 56 days breaking in a barrel? What did this process involve?

    Advanced Marksmanship Wits end with AI /Jim Hart .308

    Ok, getting 3 shots touching out of 4 one time is still great shooting, but definitely less remarkable than 3 out of 3 touching consistently. If you have multiple friends who are doing that consistently, you need to get them into some benchrest matches as they will own every record there is...

    Advanced Marksmanship Wits end with AI /Jim Hart .308

    But seriously, you were consistently shooting groups with with this rifle that had all holes touching at 880 yards? How many rounds, and how many times did you do this? That is a remarkable shooting feat, to say the least.

    Advanced Marksmanship Wits end with AI /Jim Hart .308

    So this rifle would consistently stack bullets into cloverleaf groups (all touching) at 800 meters? That is definitely impressive. Why are you measuring distance in meters, did you move here from France or something?
