    Steyr SSG 69

    You were clear. I ask because mine would be great one day and not so much the next and I wondered if sometimes I was flexing the forend into the barrel. Mine didnt come with a bipod swivel so I drilled one and eventually the stock shattered in that region. I thought maybe my stock was just...

    Rifle Scopes New Vortex Scope 7/18...

    For the Gen ii PST 5-25x50 FFP they sell new at about $999. In the classifieds they're about $800-850. Best new price I've seen is $699 (before shipping) but only for the EBR-2D reticle. Every other reticle is about $999...

    New to the forum from San Diego

    It's a bit too hot for the desert this time of year but I'd meet up at South Bay rod and Gun club @ 300 Yards or Pala Range (up to about 900 yards) if you want. You can try my Savage 12 LRP out to 900Y if I can run a few rounds through your Savage 10. If it shoots well getting to 900 wont be a...

    Some stats on California

    Come to San Diego. I've got a spare room for you. We'll go shoot long range, then we'll fish the bay for some bass or halibut. Then we'll make s'mores on the beach. We have shitty laws but it's a nice place to live.

    Some stats on California

    I want to apologies if I came across to harsh. It wasn't meant as a personal attack on you. I want to be clear that I wasn't making an argument on illegal immigration. I was arguing against copy and pasting of unverified facts and telling everyone else to research it. The main problem with...

    Some stats on California

    Its irresponsible of you to post "stats" that are nothing more than a useless chain letter filled with unverified numbers. Not only is it useless but shows you're willing to believe and spread fake news and it reflects porly on the firearms community. It gives the Dems evidence our willful...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Diamondback Tactical

    I've only taken mine out to about 900y and the drops I get from Shooter work great. Maybe the calculators diverge beyond that. Here's what I get from Sterlok and Shooter. In Shooter i was using an initial vel of 2900 and G7 of 0.305 Anyways, You've done it so I trust you're data. I'll find...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Diamondback Tactical

    Looks like there are big differences in the various calculators. I wonder which ones are right. Maybe I should move to Sterlok for an instant range extension with my current scope.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Diamondback Tactical

    Interesting. With the Hornady 140g eldM with a .646 BC Zeroed at 100Y running at 2800 FPS my Shooter app says I need 25.7 mil. The web based Hornady ballistic calculator says I need 22.6. I'd have to be running it at 3050 FPS to get it there with 18.5 mil according to to Hornady calculator...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Diamondback Tactical

    How did you get enough elevation? My Balistic calculator says I need 25. 7 Mils to get my 6.5CM to 1760 yards. The PST has 20mil elevation. Assume it zeros half way, so you're left with 10mil up. A 20MOA rail (5.8 mil) and 6 mil of holdover you only have about 22mil. A 40MOA rail would give...

    Steyr SSG 69

    I've got a SSG69P1 with the set trigger but it's mostly been in the safe the last 5 years. I shot it for a bit and had mixed results but I was pretty green back then. The rifle was made in 1982 and stock ended up cracking so I fixed it with epoxy. It really needs a new stock but I can't...

    Post your range tips. My range tip # 134

    Don't bring every gun you own. It's better to get to know one gun really well than it is to have a few minutes of trigger time with all of them. Quality time is the only way you'll learn what you really like.
