I should clarify: physically able in accordance with Chapter 14 of the Army Field Manual. After a few months, most would reduce loads to about 40 lbs. This often occurs at the sake of IBA. Loads rarely went under 25 lbs. What I couldn't figure out was whether the problem was with the...

For combat loads, I was taught 1/3 of average weight should be carried. This is usually between 60 to 70lbs of gear. The question is not what the gear should consist of, rather how much weight should an able bodied male be expected to carry without excess exertion? Reasoning behind the...

Wow! In the future, post this on a physics or math forum. A projectile is fired at angle theta (ϴ) from the normal at velocity (v). The point of impact is distance (d). d = v^2sin(2ϴ)/g where g is the gravitational constant, about 10m/(s^2). This equation has been used for the better part of...

The factory rings were a poor fit for the scope I purchased. In answer to the first question, the trigger assembly needs to be removed in order to remove the barrel and breach. The reason this was done was to avoid getting plastic bits near the assembly and to avoid damage to any other rifle...

The Nikon 6469 worked out reasonably well. If it holds zero, I'll be pleased. A couple of things which are a bit irritating are the plastic filler screws in the Tikka and the eye fatigue from 5 or so minutes. Got it sighted, but the reticle is visible without the rifle. 1" grouping at 100...

I went through this process and was not at all happy. If you're reading this for help, you're in the same boat. Congrats, step one is complete :banghead:. One less than prevalent fact is newer Tikka T3s have plastic filler screws which are either stamped in place or heated such that they don't...

Thanks Guys I didn't know if the less expensive Nikons were worth taking a look at or not; I like the ones I've used. The event is 1,000 for 1,000, so unless I want to put 1,200 into it and sign a writ stating I will sell it for $1,000 without question. I'll wind up like some of the guys who...

Recently purchased a Tikka T3 Lite, 300 WSM. A Mil-Dot reticule is a must. My end game is to put together the best range rifle for the price. For competition, I've used my Remington 700. Great rifle, but the new parts and accessories have run $2400. I would like to get a decent optics set...

For what it's worth. I've fired several handguns and stumbled on the P250 for $400, used and needed a bath. Pros: People with zero experience with firearms have been able to safely use this system without issue (I have taught four individuals pistol basics with the P250). Easy to strip...
