    Going from bolt guns to my first semi auto rig

    Re: Going from bolt guns to my first semi auto rig If you get to shopping around for an AR platform .308, an Armalite AR-10(t) w swfa SS glass + rings + bipod would come in under $3K (especially if you find a lightly used rifle) & will perform out of the box.

    What am I doing to cause this? "S" pattern target

    Re: What am I doing to cause this? "S" pattern target Supposing that one to the far left was a flier or a flinch or your cold bore, that isn't so much an s as it is a circle around the bullseye. If those shots are in order (first shot at one end, last shot at the other) I might speculate that...

    why would you NOT want a muzzle brake

    Re: why would you NOT want a muzzle brake As per the harmonics issue. The only way a brake would affect accuracy is if it's loose & rattling around. Then you would get inconsistent harmonics & unpredictably. Outside of that, the brake will only change the harmonics, so the rifle may shoot...

    Is this a good grouping for a gas gun?

    Re: Is this a good grouping for a gas gun? Well it looks like you answered your own question, and if I had seen this post before you did I would have told you that yes your rig with that ammo is fully capable of ringing 500yd steel all day long. What I'll tell you now is that your rig is...

    Introduction and questions from a beginner

    Re: Introduction and questions from a beginner Hmmmm...the wind could still be a factor, wind tends to follow the topography like water over a rocky river bed, so even with hills and bluffs on both sides there can be wind in there, and the wind down range may be pretty different the wind at...

    Introduction and questions from a beginner

    Re: Introduction and questions from a beginner We're going to need a bit more info to help you. When you went to 200yds did you dial any elevation onto your scope? Was your point of aim at the center of the bulls eye? What size were your targets (ie how far from the center of your target is...

    What was your first firearm?

    Lets hear it folks, what was your first gun? I just gave my 10 year old half son (my daughter's half brother) his first gun for Christmas. I got him a Marlin XT-22RZ bolt action .22 and he was (still is) thrilled, as was I thrilled to give it to him. It got me reminiscing about my first gun, a...

    Enough of the Zombie Apocalypse..

    Re: Enough of the Zombie Apocalypse.. The thing about the zombie trend is that it serves as an analogy for a lot of real world concerns. Hordes of mindless drones driven to bring you harm... that's not too different from someones perception of post disaster looters, or mob mentality rioters...

    i need some help guys.

    Re: i need some help guys. Sounds to me like your rifle is grouping just fine at 500. If I understand what you're saying. At 100yds 1/2moa is a 1/2" group; at 200yds that group would be a 1" group 300yds...1.5" group 400yds...2" group 500yds...2.5" group ect. So if you're saying you are...

    Due any of you use KRG bolt knob on your rifle?

    Re: Due any of you use KRG bolt knob on your rifle? Something else I liked is that the bolt lift comes in a nice little package with everything you could possibly need for the installation. In my opinion it speaks to the attentiveness of the company and their understanding of the end user...

    Due any of you use KRG bolt knob on your rifle?

    Re: Due any of you use KRG bolt knob on your rifle? I originally got one for my 700 as an interim solution to suit my budget, with the intention of saving a bit and having a knob installed at a later date. I did have to relieve the bottom inside edge w a dremmel bc there was just a tiny bit...

    LOP on the PRS stock

    Re: LOP on the PRS stock Yes and no. The DPMS spacer may not work for every individual. If it is an issue of maintianing eye relief, then you'll want to set your rings farther back on the rail and/or slide your scope back farther in the rings. Unless of course you already have your scope as...

    Newb With Questions

    Re: Newb With Questions I agree with several of the above posts, if you test and tune a few different types of ammo, you're kind of on both ends of the spectrum w 150 and 180 grains, some 168 or 175 grain match ammo might quite possibly, do the trick. Before you start throwing money at it...

    Rifle Scopes SN-3 or SS 5-20x50

    Re: SN-3 or SS 5-20x50 "all around shooting" is a bit of a nebulous term, it may help if you defined that a little more clearly. That said I'll tailor the rest of my response to a lofty definition of all around shooting, ie plinking, hunting, long range out to say...1k yds. There is no...
