    What did you ask Santa for?

    I didn't ask for anything either as we had a tough year with a lot of unplanned expenses. So the wife and I are going without to make sure that Santa can take care of our son this year. Merry Christmas to everyone!

    Which M1A's for distance accuracy?

    The best AR10 for long distance shooting is whichever one you can trade for an M1A. Sorry IndianaBoy... I couldn't resist :D I'm not an AR10 guy, but a buddy swears by his Ruger SR-762. If you've got the cash, a GAP10 from GA Precision is up in the top tier.

    Which M1A's for distance accuracy?

    A standard M1A uses the trigger group to anchor the receiver in the stock. A double lugged M1A has lugs added to the front and rear of the receiver. These are threaded and use screws to anchor the receiver in the stock. The stock must be inletted to accommodate the lugs. Here's a link...

    Which M1A's for distance accuracy?

    As a matter of fact, I took my M1A out of the safe a couple weeks ago and worked up some new loads using some Nosler 168gr CC. With my hand loads, I was getting .88MOA. With USGI M118, I was getting .58MOA. I didn't include the last shot in that group since the wind blew my target...

    Which M1A's for distance accuracy?

    If your buddy is serious about mid-to-long range shooting with an M1A, then he'll likely want to look into having one built by a reputable gunsmith who is intimate with the M1A/M14. As previously mentioned, the cost will be steep. I shot my M1A across the course in NRA/CMP highpower matches...

    "Tipped" Sierra MatchKings

    The tipped 77gr MK has a higher BC, which nears that of some 80gr bullets. Whether or not the bullet is more accurate is going to depend on your rifle and load data. These are NOT cheap either ($172/500) You'll see the benefit of the higher BC at longer ranges. If you're shooting...

    2014-Q3 Rimfire Match:

    I took this past Friday off so I went down to CRPC and gave this a shot. It took a few tries, but here's the pick of the litter. This definitely got harder as it got hotter & the mirage picked up. I had a couple of close "10's" on this target, but only the last shot took out the dot. I'm...

    NRA Mid-range Match 7-27-14

    that's a typo in the match bulletin. Record fire at 600 yards is 20 rounds in 20 minutes, plus sighting shots. 2 minutes is approaching rattle-battle speed! You may want to check with the match director prior to showing up. The iron sight class is usually restricted to using slings for...

    will 50 cal really punch through concrete?

    Assuming you mean .50BMG. This might give you an idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lprGoEpDXJQ The M2HB starts shooting at 7m 35s.

    2014-Q1 Rimfire Match:

    Alright... here's my optics submission. Came close to cleaning the target if it wasn't for that USBR target. I thought it was funny that even though my scope has an 1/8MOA dot in the reticle, it still obscured the center of some targets at 32x! I'm tallying this as a 98 but I'll leave the...

    2014-Q1 Rimfire Match:

    Here's my submission. I decided to give iron sights a try this time, but DANG this was one challenging target! Some of those targets looked like pin-pricks... even at 25 yards! Remington 40X Redfield Olympic front and rear iron sights Wolf Match Target ammo front rest & rear bags I'm...

    Q4-2013 Rimfire Match:

    I finally managed to shoot a round of THR golf today... just in the nick of time before the end of 2013. Marlin 917V .17HMR Mueller 8.5-25x40mm Hornady 17gr V-MAX ammo fired using front rest & rear bag I didn't fill in the scores on the sheet, but my math comes up with an 12. hole 1...

    Japanese Arisaka With An Unusual Story

    That certainly is one of the more interesting bring-back stories I've heard. Finding provenance to back up the story would certainly be difficult. As bainter1212 said, there's likely no residual radiation, but it would certainly be neat to run it by a Geiger counter! The rifle looks to...

    Q4-2013 Rimfire Match:

    Finally thought that I'd finally have a chance to shoot this match since I missed out on the last one. But it was so $&#^ cold and windy at CRPC yesterday I bagged it early. hopefully next weekend

    What Would it Take to Get YOU out to a Bullseye ("Conventional Pistol" Event?

    Quite honestly, it's a matter of me getting motivated to start shooting pistol as I'm a CMP/NRA highpower rifle guy. When I start shooting pistol, I'm going to be chasing my distinguished pistol badge.
