Wow! I just got back from the range and I am pretty pumped. Prior to purchasing this Marlin 917, I have been shooting a Swedish .270 Sporter. Last time I bought a box of 20 cartridges, it cost me $30, so I ponied up and bought a Marlin for $300-ish. My average 5-shot groups with my .270 have...

No pics, sorry. This rifle is factory stock. I haven't even lightened the trigger yet. I have a not too special 9x scope on it, until I can sneak another Mk4 into the house. Shooting Hornady 32gr v-max. 76 degrees. 10mph variable winds. 100 yards. Best group for me was .4 right on the...

my five year old with her first rifle. sometimes life is just good!!!!

I have been reading about re17 since it came out and how it gives superior velocity so I bought a pound to do testing. I loaded one round at a time in 1/2 grain increments from 38.5 to 41 grains. 41 grains gave sticky bolt so I loaded 10 rounds each of 40 and 40.5. I set the chrono up today and...

Took the 308 out to the range this afternoon. Our range makes you qualify at the 300 yard range before you can go on to the 400 and 600. I wasn't listening when the fellow behind the counter gave me the targets and told me you had to shoot 5 shots in the 6" white circle to qualify. There could...

Bought the rifle, scope and rings here on the hide. Rifle was built by Eric Reid. Rifle shoots way better than me. Trigger is the lightest trigger I have ever used, set up beautifully. Ammo used was factory Federal Gold Match. 1st target was zeroing the S&B. Used Lowlights feeler gauge method to...

Got a new Crusader from GA Precision a few months back, following Lowlights article on scope mounting I mounted a Mark 4, 4.5-14x-50mm on with no trouble. I aligned the scope by sighting thru the bore and headed off to the range. First shot was 6 inches high and 1.5 inches to the right. I...

Well, today was my first time with my hand loads. I think, all in all it did pretty well. I'm not sure about the velocity going up and the POI coming down, though. What do you think? Two groups I think I'm going to play with.. Shots 3-6 and 12-15. I hope 14 and 16 were me pulling the...

I say "preliminary" only because I have yet to hit anything beyond 200 yds, Jered is probably wondering why I haven't shot the barrel out yet Child # 2 came and there hasn't been much time to work up any loads but I was able to get a good load for the 123 scenar this weekend. Was using a good...

Every once in a while I post some range results from AI rifle. I am not bragging just posting my results so people can see what a great rifle the AE's are. The topic always comes up again and again if they are accurate. Well, here is the proof. This was not a fluke and yes it shoots like...

Ok...so the weather was really nice here today. So I set out to sight in the new POF gas piston build. I load up the car with all the needed items and head to the local BLM range. I get setup and do a few 25yrd "get on paper" shots them move the target stand to 100yrds. Here are some of my...

Took my new SRS out to hogtooth's shooter/spotter class this weekend and, while the weather sucked, the SRS shot superbly. 10-12mph winds (not gusts), 40* and dropping temps, and rain combined with the sandy soil into a lovely slurry that coated everything. Ammo, rifles, chambers, scopes...

400 yard groups There OK groups I wish I could have shot better today. Temp outside is 29 degress with a slight wind blowing right to left. First time I dialed on a MIL scope for range and JBM was damn near right on the money. I was shooting on the ground off a bipod and it was damn cold!

Its still freezing up here in MN and cabin fever is well set in. And, a package from McMillan just showed up so I thought I would post some gratutitous rifle porn Intended as Do-All sling over shoulder for hikes and throw in the back of the jeep prairie rifle......prairie dogs, antelope...

What a day, nothing like shooting in the inclimate weather... Took out the rifle to shoot my first 6.8 reloads... not bad i guess. 16" LWRC M6A2... Was shooting pretty good for the weather ( 40deg, wind, rain ). Everything was going fairly well then my groups started opening up some, i was like...

I know people have asked me in the past what the result were of shooting my Gladius out to 1000 yards, and before today I only had information to 900 odd yards, and those shots were at 6000ft above sea level. Well today I had the opportunity to try the rifle at 1000 yards here at Rifles Only...
