    Help me newb less! Ressources for the practical/hunting marksman

    So I prolly spend too much time on the net and tend to find videos/ressources that are either dealing with 1,000 yard sniping or bipod techniques- Ive had a hard time finding stuff that would be useful for me. I am currently teaching myself how to hunt and want to make sure I am very...

    Explain slings to a sling newb anybody? need a recommendation also

    I used the search function and learned alot about slings here- still super unsure! First of all- what advantages do the loop slings have over just a standard sling for my m14? I'm no pro but I do get better accuracy from slinging up just with a standard nylon sling- how is the loop sling any...

    M14 closes on a 308 no go gauge- sell it or keep it?

    Im no pro- though I have read a bit about these rifles. bolt closes on a 308 no go gauge and the only rounds I have to reload for her are 308, no access to 7.62 brass like you guys in the states have. *Canada*. So what do I do- sell it and move on or what? I prolly shouldnt reload 308 for it...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 AO Any good?

    Looking for something around $500 that will be servicable. AO is important because it will be shared by a 308 700 LTR and my cz 452 in 22lr. I want something I can crank up unreasonably high as I already have a decent 1.5-8x for hunting. This is for bipod use. its available in mil dot, bdc...

    700 LTR a good choice? upgrades?

    Asking wiser folks than I before I throw down the money. Looking for a decent 308 rig that I can have fun training with at the range putting tons of rounds through(not some 6.5lb tikka that would hurt) but light enough to carry hunting. This seems to hit the sweet spot and is available in...

    308- Range limitations of 150gr vs heavier bullets

    At what point do these stop performing? I have a bunch of hornady 150gr FMJBT and want something for 100-500ish yard practice on steel and targets. In other words what range does the superior BC of the 168, 170grain bullets really pull ahead and the 150gr become a hassle? Not looking...

    Decent ECONOMICAL 308 bullet for 100-500 yards

    Looking for something I can use to practice on the cheap with my m1a. However I have resisted buying anything ugly like the PRVI or anything like that as I dont plink with my 308- too expensive. The cz 452 in 22lr is for that kind of relaxed practice. Currently using the 150 grain hornady FMJBT...

    .308- 1:10 twist rate- are 150gr bullets hopeless?

    Getting my 308 rebarreled its an 18.5" 1:10 twist barrel. Most of my bullets are 150gr- what are the effects on twist rate. Is it a definite thing that 150gr bullets will suck as I hear these 1:10 are best with the heavier pills

    Rifle Scopes Good 4-12x or higher mag for $300-$400 ?

    Need me some more magnification. Already have low end covered by an amazing Minox za5 1.5-8x for hunting. This will be a range only scope and thus no optics snobbery- low light performance is not a concern and I dont want to break the bank. Itll be shared by a CZ 452 and an accurized m14. Im...
