    HP NM CoF with a rimfire....

    Great shooting! And yeah, looks like you could put a few more matches downrange and feel good about the results! But - it’s gonna make my brain claw through my head if I don’t ask… Was it a wisp of L—>R wind, or do you maybe have a minute left in your zero? Or too much trigger hand?

    Ruger Mini Thirty. On the fence.

    Sell the Savage outright, or trade for a better option.

    Over expanded brass

    Bulges above the web are God's way of warning you to not try to make use of the brass. Working that area of the case, thinning and work hardening, is a recipe for case failure. For how little a few 300blk cases are worth, ANY headache is not worth it...

    Largest caliber you own?

    By caliber, 458WM now, was meant to be a Lott originally, but I'm on a shorter receiver and wasn't wanting to do a second lug on the barrel into the stock. I suppose my 45-70 and 458socom are technically the same caliber as my 458wm though, but obviously smaller and less potent cartridges - and...

    Raising the rear rest

    Admittedly, I've always disliked keeping multiple rear bunny ear bags in play, largely because I'll like how one tracks better than the other, and then I'll pull my hair out trying to get the "not as good" one to track like the "better one."

    Ruger American Pred 6.5 Grendel to 6ARC begins

    The ARC was really built to be AR mag/STANAG compatible. I can't get 108 ELD's into mag length with 243LBC/6mmAR/6Grendel. There were a lot of other rounds built on the Grendel case, the Grinch, Turbo40, FatRat, but not all of them have been built to fit STANAG mags - which is to say most of...

    Barrel Treatments for 300 BO

    8.5" in a Blackout is pretty handy. I wanna do an 8" stickshift one of these days after lusting over a "shop model" he offered a couple of years ago. Another friend bought one, and we played with it after a PRS match last year, we shot out to 600yrds with his subsonic load (big, 200grn 30cal...

    Are you "brand loyal"?

    The poll options don't fit my personal philosophy. I'm "performance loyal," I don't live based on brand names alone, but I only buy brands which have demonstrated and do demonstrate performance to meet the task I'm pursuing. I have gear from Lee and Frankford, some from RCBS, Lyman, and...

    Do you guys mount your own scopes?

    Torque driver, plumb bob, levels, mounting jig. I stress-free bed non-integral rails, I lap or bed rings if I'm putting lipstick on pigs. I mount my scopes myself, perfectly. It's not a complex system, it's a tube and a dozen or so screws. It's so easy and inexpensive to do it well, I'm not sure...

    6mm creedmore

    The 243win and 243AI were my favorite cartridge for almost 20 years, but I spent all of that time spending money on custom reamers, dies, and barrels to make it behave like a 6 creed does out of the box. When the 6.5 creed came around, “mildcatting” the 6 creed became too easy - smiths all over...

    How many rounds?

    They aren’t. It’s carbon.

    Can a bad trigger help you be a better shooter?

    A bad trigger isn’t forcing you to properly manage the trigger. It’s forcing you to fight against a bad trigger.

    Bag for Steel Targets

    Carrying a few 4-10" gongs is a pretty different game than carrying a couple 20" gongs! Doubling diameter quadruples the weight! A 20" gong weighs as much as 25x 4" gongs, or as much as 4x 10" gongs. Any backpack can carry those little plates.

    Damaged my scope😡

    I didn't have to pay for my ATACR to be fixed when I sent it in - I discovered the windage was slipping, most likely from myself and the previous owner running it into barricades at PRS matches. No, I didn't use the scope as a hammer, but I haven't done so with Vortex optics either.

    7mm prc scope

    Don’t. The Eliminators are a gimmick which tends to fall apart in application. As to quality, the VX3HD’s are fine, but if you’re dialing and shooting long range, a second focal plane VX3 is the wrong tool for the task. You have that Viper, I assume a PST in FFP, so you can see firsthand the...

    Damaged my scope😡

    1) I’m just as careful - or just as careless - with all of my gear. 2) Most of the “super expensive scopes” on the market have just as good warranty/customer support as Vortex, they just don’t advertise it as vocally as Vortex or “Vortex Nation,” so the hypothetical experiment kinda falls...

    Barrel Treatments for 300 BO

    If this defines the accuracy standard, grab up a $100 PSA and party on. Save the extra towards ammo. And of course, the barrel only takes a half hour to change, and another upper can be swapped in a matter of seconds. BUILD IT FIRST AS A PISTOL, then it can be a pistol again by pulling the...

    Barrel Treatments for 300 BO

    This triggered me a little - I've bought hundreds of $150-250 AR barrels in my life, but man, it REALLY pisses me off to think about how $150-250 just doesn't buy the same barrels it used to buy just a few short years ago. Hell, I'm not sure you can still get a cheap Criterion for $250, let...

    Front sight taper?

    Not ALL sights are arranged as such, but traditionally, sight grooves are parallel, but the sights themselves are tapered to be driven into the groove from left towards right, as viewed from the chamber end. Going into the rifle towards the port, and out of the rifle by drifting away from the...
