    GPS recommendation

    I'm interested in clearing some shooting lanes on a property. I plan to use Google maps to obtain lat/long waypoints for the corners of the property to orient my lanes. Can anybody recommend a reasonably priced/reliable GPS device (or possibly an Android app) for locating my waypoints on the...

    shooting without a rear bag

    The overwhelming majority of my shooting is performed with a bipod and rear bag from a bench or prone. I'm aware that this is a major shortcoming in my marksmanship. Having said that, whenever I dry fire bench or prone with a bipod but without a rear bag, I have no idea how to keep the rifle...

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell ET6245FG canted reticle question

    I have a stupid question. I bought my Bushnell 6-24x50 back in 08/2013. It mounted nicely on my .308 and I installed a vortex bubble level on it at the time. I have since fired it 4 or 5 times. A week ago when I shot it, I noticed my reticle and the vortex bubble level weren't jiving. I figured...

    LaRue POD for Magpul CTR

    I dig this idea and would like something like this on my McRee but I'm not crazy about the $96 price. Does anyone know of any alternatives or similar products? Has anyone used one of these?

    Rifle Scopes Bushnell AR22 2-7x32 Review

    I recently bought a Bushnell AR22 2-7x32 for my 1022. I haven't shot it yet, so I can't attest to how it tracks, but the glass is great and the parallax adjustment seems spot on. Here's a review I found before I bought it: Bushnell AR Optics 2-7x32mm AR/22 Scope Review Anyone looking for a...

    Gunsmithing Bolt Knob Install Question

    A while back I had a Badger Bolt Knob installed. When I got it back from the smith the install job IMO looked less than stellar. Everything is solid and it works fine, but from the photos I've other knob jobs look fairly seamless or flush. Take a look. Am I being a Nancy or is it worthy of being...

    Power setting for 100 yds

    What magnification do you typically use for 100 yd paper punching? I shot my 308 with a Bushnell Elite 6-24/G2 today. I like to set it at about 14 and I adjusted my parallax, but the image seemed to blur now and then. I wouldn't think it was mirage and I know to look outside the scope now and...

    Rifle Scopes G2 reticle wind holds

    Long time lurker/first time poster. For my 308, I've narrowed my scope choice down to a Bushy 6-24x50 with G2 reticle ($830ish) or a 3.5-21X50 with H59 reticle ($1500ish). I dig the looks of the G2 reticle, but the tree doesn't seem wide enough for a full value 10+ mph winds at many distances...
