Re: Bootlace pistol rest Yeah, I'd like a picture on the proper use of it too. Not to bash you or be mean at all, but I don't see how it would lend an advantage or where I might use it. At the range I have bags, rests and other stuff if I need it. In the field I can use a branch or...

Re: 2nd time shooting at 1000 yards, several questions Hey, that was a good read. And you did really well for your first time at 1000. All the replies are really good advice too. Mathematically, or theoretically, your group at 100y should be a relative projection of your group at 1000y...

Re: Silent Boots I can tell you what I used to do in the army for stalking. There is/was always a guy that resoled boots at the PX, at Ft. Lewis and Benning anyway. I resoled two pairs of worn out black combat boots, one for marches and it had the thick rubber tennis shoe soles. The...

Re: Noveske 8" 300 AAC BLACKOUT That IS nice, that round doesn't lose a whole lot of velocity with a 9" compared to a 16" either. Wish I could build mine that short here for the suppressor. Yeah, let us know how it works out for you. I'll be building a .300 myself here real soon so I'd be...

Re: New Ghillie Reinforcement Mine always ended up a lot like the last one there, Shay's. We used old duffel bags or shelter halves for skid plates, and I cut mine out to cover the front half of the top nearly completely, then used a heavy zipper down the front. The duffel bags were a...

Re: Getting rid of a flinch. My advice? Focus on the fundamentals, keep real focused on your target/sights, relax. Now focus on keeping your reticle where you want it and slowly pulling the trigger and call the shots. Even if you are a good shooter and natural with the fundamentals...

Re: PAINT!!! I want to go awesome I have one thing to add. In the army, we used this stuff called "bowflage". It was removable camo spray paint for bow hunters and it was made by Hunters Specialties if I recall correctly and came in small cans. It wore better than you'd think for...

Re: Polishing AR sear and trigger creep? I'm a bit of a barrel and trigger snob, especially with AR's since those two components affect the end resulting rifle more than anything else, though I prefer the term "connoisseur" instead. Anyway, I've done the set screw tricks on other rifles...

Re: Looking For .300BLK Barrel Advice Well, I looked at the Wilson barrels and they are nearly the same as the Noveske except .2" longer and they use a different button. Not hardly worth the extra $200 for the Noveske... For me anyway, like I say, I'll be using it at relatively short...

Re: Looking For .300BLK Barrel Advice Yeah, I think that is the scope. The 1.5-5x M2, but it looks like they go for more like $1300+! Probably not going that high on optics for the .300BLK. May just go with an EoTech or something for now, I'll probably only be using it to 200m for the most...

Re: What do you know about shooting math? Thanks for the replies, I'll see if I can find "Applied Ballistics" at the library. I'll check on those others too. If anyone knows of any other math related shooting books, no matter how deep the math or physics, let me know. I'm trying to get a...

Re: 6.5 Grendal It wasn't Bill. It was the controlling interest in the company, the financiers many arms makers had to turn to over the last few decades. They made poor decisions about keeping that round trademarked. Bill's a good guy, he's all about performance in that AR platform. I...

Re: ACOG Vs. Eotech... which is more reliable? It is kind of like apples to oranges... The ACOG is a very durable and fine combat optic. We used them for SDM's, squad designated marksmen, early on about the time Iraq started on M4's. 600m with a regular M4 and an ACOG and bipod was really...

Re: shipping instructions found on Smiths site? I had to go to a Fedex office to ship a revolver back to Smith and Wesson. They sent me a shipping label I believe, I can't recall. I go to the office and tell them what it is and they take it and send it out. They replaced the damaged...

Re: Looking for Long Range AR platform...suggestions? I think AR platform and I think, well, AR platform as in non-.308 AR's. So with that in mind, I'd like to add the 6.5G to the discussion. Mine is built like a military rifle using a KAC FF rail and a Harris bipod. I put an ACOG on it to...

Re: AAC - am I screwed? Okay, I read through some of the posts. Just like the OP, I too got four 51T's to put on an M4, a 6.5G, an FAL and a .300BLK. I'll probably do another 7.62 also, and later probably get the M4-2000 when my wife gets that FN FS2000 she wants to use it on, along with...

Hey, I thought this was a good sniper flick. Has Mark Wahlberg in it. He gets picked up out of retirement for a counter sniper role to protect the president. But shit goes bad of course, and, well, watch it to find out. Don't wanna ruin it for those that haven't seen it. Maybe not the best...

Re: flipup caps Wow, I don't feel so bad now. I got those caps for an ACOG, they don't say BC on 'em, but they aren't any different. Cap just snapped off at the range, very first time. Others have lasted several months, but only the bigger ones on larger scopes --and this was several years...

Re: .458 socom rounds? Don't have the .458, but I do have a .50 Beo, and it will use some GI mags, most in fact, but the odd one may need trimming/filing. They have mags for these rounds, and I bet the .458 would work in them too. Only difference is wider feed lips and they have a different...

Re: To build or not to build??? When folks are talking about building it yourself, many are talking about using an assembled upper. If this is your first one I'd highly recommend against barreling it yourself. You need the vice blocks, the wrench, and you may need the torque wrench since...
