Hi folks, For those of you shooting some of the long range practical matches, how are you managing your data? What I mean to ask is, are you carrying more than one card of ballistic data? Do you strap it to your rifle or do you lay out a book when you get in position? Apart from...

Hi Folks, I've seen some good youtube videos, my rifle bedding kit comes with some detailed instruction, but I want to open it up to any suggestions you guys may have! Saturday I'll be epoxy bedding my 700 into its HS Precision stock. Tips, tricks or lessons learned are appreciated! Thanks!

Hi all, So I thought I had over pressure issues and was going to lighten the load a bit, but even without firing a complete cartridge or just using the brass from a fired cartridge I have the same issue. Here's the issue: Bolt on the 700 (308) cycles smoothly and lightly with snapcap or no...

You know you've been gone for awhile when you have to click the "I acknowledge my thread is really really old" button on any of your previous posts! I'll just start a new one. Hello all! Anyone that remembers my username remembers my 700 build. I have some important updates! (see picture)...

Hey gents, long time no post. I'm sure you missed me :rolleyes: Hunting season is coming up. While examining the load I currently have to see if it would be suitable for the task, I came across some contradicting information on the 178gr Amax from Hornady. Hornady website says 'match bullets...

Hey folks, Just thought I'd post a few pics. I've been carrying a p226 around for long enough, I decided it was time to lighten the load a bit. After putting hands on a few pistols and comparing features, I ended up with an XD in 9mm. It certainly doesn't have the refinement of my sig, but...

I thought this was pretty neat, some real cool looking firearm related jewelry, made by veterans, with proceeds going to benefit soldiers and their families... http://bullets2bandages.org/ Some very cool products for a good cause!

Hi folks, I don't frequent the pistol section much, and this question will probably show it.... I have a Browning Hi Power, 9mm, chrome looking, with wood grip and adjustable sights. serial number suggests its from 1972. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Particularly how much it's...

"The U.S. Senate unanimously voted in favor of an amendment Wednesday that guarantees zero funding for programs that include the transfer of firearms to drug cartels unless law enforcement continuously monitors the weapons "at all times." A step in the right direction perhaps? I am happy that...

Finally! The changes: Brux Match Light Varmint Barrel (with better crown, 1:10 twist) Trued Action 2.75lb trigger (down from about 4.25) With all the metal wrapped up in a coyote tan. She gained some weight with the new barrel, coming in at 14lbs, plus or minus a few ounces. Next...

Hello all, Story coming from New Mexico, some highlights: "A new sign posted on the entry door to Ruidoso Village Hall bans all firearms in village buildings by order of the mayor" "The only exception is certified law enforcement officers" "As used in this section, 'public property'...

There are a few threads on this topic going in the General section, and several of the posts have things along the lines of: "There will be no prosecutions or sanctions imposed upon any government official for their role, except to the whistleblowers..." "They're emboldened because they...

This obviously depends on application, so lets say practical targets in some kind of field type match where time and follow up shots are a factor: What's your rule of thumb for magnification level at 100, 500, and 1000 yards? Or distances in between those? Another way to ask this would be...

If you imagined a rifle, hanging above a fireplace in a nice moutain cabin as art, what rifle would it be? Caliber isn't a big deal as the rifle is mostly for display, but points are awarded for it being a caliber capable of hunting elk sized game. Pictures are encouraged! This all comes...

I'm doing some scope dream shopping, and thinking my next one will have MOA turrets and a MOA reticle (since my brain is biased to that). Something like the nf NP-R2. This just got me thinking, how many of you precision shooters out there use matching units, or different units in...

Mines in the shop, so in the meantime, please show me some of your fine bolt action rifles! I'll certainly post pics of mine whenever it gets back. And it's been long enough since we've had a good bolt picture thread. Feed the addiction.

Fellow Long Rangers, I've been doing some good reading and realized I've never accounted for spin drift. When I run the numbers, out past 700 yards with my load, it's almost a full MINUTE of drift! :eek: I'm assuming that's drifting to the right for a right hand twist. Has everyone else...

Hey all, Well, with getting an AR and being between loads in the bolt, I'd let some of the finer points of marksmanship slip a little. Today I went out with what I decided to be the new load in the bolt and over 20 rounds, shook some rust off. And I think I'ma be happy with the move from...

Hey all, JUST put an aimpoint PRO on my AR. I say 'JUST' because it really takes five minutes to get that thing out of the box and on the rifle. I had a hard time finding reviews or pics, so I'll give some of both. Note: I have not shot it yet, but I'll make sure to post a range report...

Hey all, Today, I finally got my new load for the 700 to shoot a .6" group at 100yards. Shortly after that, my new AR went 10/10 on a coyote sized target at 375 yards with irons kneeling. Not necessarily my best day at the range, but certainly a good one. It got me thinking though...
