Awesome pic, and thanks for the input.

Thanks for the advice guys, I like the different AR15 upper idea, that sounds pretty smart, now I've gotta decide which one lol

Hey guys, I'm trying to get into long range shooting and want to get/build my first rifle. I want to get a trainer rifle and get proficient with it. I'm thinking a .223 bolt action rifle would be a good choice. I shoot but have never reloaded and want to get into the reloading arena. I shoot .45...

I have a bag that was issued to me in the military. I used to carry my handguns and ammo and muffs on my body before I got this, but now that I own this bag I couldnt be more happier. It took me 20 minutes to find it on google so you're practically obligated to buy it now lol. LBT Co. multi-cam...

As I stated in those posts I do know very little about long range shooting. I have listened to others and took their advice. For instance, on the Savage thread I made I took someones advice and I'm going to go with a custom built rifle instead of just upgrading a Savage. I have seen and have...

Thanks for actually explaining the downsides of the HORUS and its use, that was pretty damn helpful.

I know how to use a Mil dot reticle, but the standard mil dot reticle used back in the day is old technology, with modern day reticles you can break down MIL'ing to more precise fractions in a short amount of time. I'm not buying a rangefinder anytime soon so I want to mil out targets as...

Thanks for the feedback guys and suggesting the MSR, it's a nice lookin reticle for sure.

I've searched the forums but havent found the answer I'm looking for. I'm looking at buying a scope and I know for sure I want a MIL/MIL scope. I'm pretty sure I want a Horus reticle. The ability to do nothing but holds is pretty badass, and I like the how they break down each mil to such a...

I'd check out Bobro's mounts. Theyre one piece mount and can be removed and reinstalled with no change in zero.

I'm not sure what model of the SCAR 17 you have. With that said, most military guns that are capable of full auto have their barrels chrome lined to combat barrel fatigue from high rates of fire / little to no cool down periods between firing. A lot of people argue chrome lining will to some...

If you're referring to the post I made, I am saying that shooting sticks would be more accurate than not using a bipod at all IN a sitting position. If you have a bipod that can stretch from a sitting position and touch the ground, then all the more power to you. Most people don't run those...

To be honest, shooting a training rifle will not improve your ability to shoot with your main rifle. You can familiarzie yourself with the controls and manipulation if its the same design. BUT using a training rifle WILL improve your fundamentals, which you'll be able to apply to your main...

As long as the barrel is truely free floated it doesnt matter wether you rest your rifle on the bipod or the stock itself. I think you might be confused on how to use the sandbag, you place the sandbag under the rifle stock, not forward of the bipod touching the barrel. Also the flatter you can...

As long as you don't pick the A2CU's the Army uses right now I think you'll be happy with any of your options. The cargo pockets alone rip from putting my hat in them.

Thanks everyone for your input, I'm definitely going to check out the Bobro and other quality ones mentioned. I know a lot of people don't like to get out of their comfort zone and expand their knowledge and because so won't use QD mounts, fortunately I'm not that ignorant. And for the comment...

The first thing I would do is get my hands on some match grade factory ammo along a few different bullet weights. I'm not saying your reloading skills suck, but match grade ammo is going to be consistent and will help you find out what exactly your gun likes to feed without you buying all the...

Hail yeah it would. If you were shooting far enough I bet the chances of hitting at least one piece of hail would be high. A small, relatively hard object is going to have major effects on your bullet.

There are some great shooting positions that will get you almost if not as steady as prone. Some of the Marine Corps shooting manuals go into pretty great detail about sitting shooting positions which you could translate over to precision shooting. On top of that if you add in some shooting...

The sandbag is going to be steadier. Its got a lot more surface area pressing against your rifle and you wont be picking up vibrations that you'd get from the relatively thin legs of a bipod. If you want to actually practice you need to shoot off a bipod of course, unless the only situation you...
