Hey everyone, first time poster long time lingering.

I'm looking for some help interpreting my ocw test I just completed.

20" barrel 308 1-10

175 SMK
Varget
Br2
FC brass
No Chrono unfortunately

I decided to load up some 44.5 and 44.2 based on this test but I'm not entirely confident I read the results correct.

The group consisting of 44.4 I pulled the high shot. Slipped off the bag right as I fired. The next group felt good but a similar impact to the previous makes me think it wasn't me maybe it was.

Anyone with more expertise is love the help

I also loaded up some 45gr as the shape was decent so I'm tuning that in with seating depth.

Looking to sell my Zero Compromise scope. It is the zc527 model. it is Flat Dark Earth and has the MPCT3x reticle. 15 mil turret wit locking turrets.

Just got back from Traveling and I wanted to do a simulcast of the Everyday Sniper Podcast on the Hide so you can watch this or listen to it.

In this episode I talk Ward Burton Wildlife Foundation, Laura and I attended this event in Virginia and really enjoyed it. The Round Robin events they had were super fun. It was Fishing, Skeet Shooting, Pistol Shooting and then to Bow.

Then I went to Spear Mountain to Visit the Major Land Sniper Cup location. I helped with the course of fire. The goal of this visit was to make the Major Land event more efficient.

I simplified the course of fire to not only hopefully fix the flow, but to fix the way you ID targets and maybe the way we use the Range Officers.

I really think people will like the changes I made to it. Super straight forward.

Lastly My barrels for the 6 ARC are here !

I can not move forward with my 6mm ARC bolt gun project and pair it alongside the 6ARC Gas Guns.


But don't forget the live streams are available.

Thanks for listening, thanks for sharing, thanks for being a part of the everyday sniper podcast.

Hello everybody.
I own a 32" Barrett 99 in 50 BMG.
I have read somewhere that replacing the OEM Muzzle Brake with a QDL would redirect the muzzle blast away from the shooter (or at least reduce it).
Can anyone confirm?
If so, my basic understanding of physics suggests that actual felt recoil would increase, but how much?
It is a $500 piece of gear and it would be nice to know if it's worth dropping the coins on it...

Selling the majority of the stuff I have accumulated over the years. Bear with me on shipping as I do my best to get stuff out within 1-2 days but sometimes my job dictates otherwise. I’ll keep you in the loop regardless.

I’m going to start with the guns and then will move onto ammo if it doesn’t sell with the guns, and then reloading and accessories after that. I’ll get stuff posted as I have time. There will be lots of FREE stuff posted in another ad as well like I’ve done in the past.

Whittling my safe down to just a couple firearms so I’m pretty much set on trades. I would take a stcatto XC or Wilson project 1 on trade (can add cash where needed). Always open to high end mil/mil optics.

How do these two scopes compare glass quality? Will they both have zero stop and track good and hold a good zero? Any information on these two scopes would be great.

Hey fellas, l have a Rock River lar-8 .308. are the handguards and stocks on that proprietary or are there other options?

Time for Mays Topstrap Longrange (midrange) Rimfire Challenge here in Eastern Ohio. Weather looks pretty good with no rain and warm temperatures. This should be a pretty neat match, it'll have everyone thinking What The Heck Happened? (WTHH Match)

It'll be on May 9th (fri), 10th (Sat) and 11th (Sunday). I should be ready around 8AM and can accommodate 2 shooters at the same time. It takes about an hour at the most to shoot the match, usually more like 35 to 45 minutes. 85 targets with 5 sighters and 4 bonus shots plus any needed to check your zero. Targets are from 25 yards out to 197 yards consisting of 15 racks. Eye/ear protection is encouraged, all gun actions remain open with chamber flag and no magazine in place.

A competitor can come any time any of the three days, they may re-enter but will have to get back in line. There is a covered firing line with some seating to watch or spread lies about their shooting abilities with others. Help with spotting/scoring is greatly appreciated and speeds things up a lot. I paint the targets every two shooters so they can see their hits as they progress.

Email me for directions at [email protected] or I have a Facebook page at Topstraps Rimfire Challenge which you can join to get match reports or share anything interesting about Rimfire shooting.

I've decided to go the Tikka route, and right now am choosing between the Hunter & the superlite. Given I'll be dropping the barreled action into a McMillan a5 (channeled for a heavy pre-fit) and shooting the factory tikka barrel out until then, is there a reason to go with the hunter over the lite or superlite? They are the same cost at the store I'm looking.

At first I was told the only differences in the T3x line was the stock and fluting of the barrel, but google says the Hunter model has a thicker profile. Can anyone confirm this?

1) is it the same profile as the CTR?
2) does anyone know the profile of the Tac A1 barrel or if that's the same as the CTR?
3) is the bolt handle the only difference in the action between the CTR/Tac a1, and the rest of the T3x lineup?

Hi all,

Anyone know what the current turnaround times for PVA prefits are roughly? I'm in a slight time-crunch and was wondering if anyone had recent insight into what the current turnaround times were - bonus if you know the turnaround times for a fluted and cerakoted barrel.

I know they have a rush option I'm not sure if that is just for the machine work or for the whole thing.

Thanks!

Please school me on triggers and why I should prefer one over the other for this rifle. What would you use for your Vintage Sniper rifle?

Bushnell HDMR II 3.5-21x50. G3 FFP reticle. Scope is in perfect condition. Comes with origin scope covers and sun shade. Has Hawkins lightweight hunter scope rings installed. Come in original box. $800 OBO

A friend and I took an epic trip to the desert this weekend. We left Friday late afternoon, stayed in a cabin near Truckee that night, then got up early and headed out to the "desert." Why the quotes around desert? See below

Waking up in the morning in Truckee - remember, we're 4 days til May here...

You can't tell from the pic, but it was still snowing.

We drove out to the desert and found this amazing dry lake bed out in the middle of nowhere. What a great place to shoot, right?




We set a 24" circular target at 1860, but...

Rain is coming.


The rain clears and we get the 300 PRC and spotting scope set up.

What's wrong with this picture?

The arrow is pointing at the target. Does that look like a 24" circle to you?

Here's the view through the spotting scope which is a little higher off the ground.

You can clearly see the mirror image with two "targets" shown. You can also see the kaleidoscope pattern through the spotting scope below (not the target area, but close by).


I'd never shot across a dry lake bed before, so this was a learning experience for me. What was amazing was how much mirage there was AND the mirror imaging taking place. The pictures look kind of bright, but in reality, at this point just after the rain, it was still cloudy. Mirage was just nasty. I tried a few shots at 1860, but we couldn't even see the misses. My assumption is that the atmospherics causing the mirror imaging also affected viewing the actual target location, so the POA and POI were significantly different.

We ended up moving the target to a closer (and higher) area to get it higher above the lake bed. Impacts were still about .3 mil under what I would have expected.

There will be a video forthcoming - regardless, it was a fun day.
