    Rifle Scopes MOA vs Mil.

    Yup. Shot an elk last year at 730 with a 338 Edge. Dealt strait MOA from the rangefinder through the scope. Dropped it in one shot. No need to replace gear because internet opinion had shifted to MIL. 780 yards is far beyond "reasonable" hunting range for any MOA/inch assumptions and anyone...

    Rifle Scopes MOA vs Mil.

    At normal hunting ranges the difference is inconsequential. Once it is consequential, either method can be used effectively. Finishing on the podium in 2000yd competition, I guess I must know a thing or two. And yes, if one considers themselves a "precision" shooter, I expect they reload...

    Rifle Scopes MOA vs Mil.

    Perhaps you should use greater reading comprehension. The point was neither is really inches or centimeters, but they are different, and not comparable. But at hunting precision at realistic ranges MOA and inches are reasonably comparable. Certainly within the range of comparison of PRS...

    Rifle Scopes MOA vs Mil.

    If you think there is no difference in the mental math and familiarity, you have little shooting experience using these systems. Yes they do similar things, but they are not the same. I know what each of my rifles do in MOA, my scopes are set up in MOA, and you claim there is no changeover...

    Rifle Scopes MOA vs Mil.

    Why should I have to change when what I am doing works for me? If you are used to estimating and working things in inches, are you really claiming there is no mental change to thinking in centimeters? Decades of efforts to change the US to metric beg to differ. Not claiming one is imperial...

    Rifle Scopes MOA vs Mil.

    Heaven forbid we consider a balanced opinion and comparison.. https://precisionrifleblog.com/2013/07/20/mil-vs-moa-an-objective-comparison/ I guess this Bryan Litz doesn't know anything, we all know if you don't shoot MIL and a 6.5 Creedmoor you don't know what you're talking about.... I...

    Free Range Copper- the copper boulders of Michigan

    I went to Michigan Tech so I've seen many of these pieces. I've picked copper nuggets from old slag on Isle Royale.

    223 bolt gun for prairie dog hunt

    I bought the cheapest .223 Remington 700 Gander had during its closeout sale, complete with the cheap scope it came with. I took it to a prairie dog town and had one hell of a weekend. People crap on factory rifles, but the fact is if you actually load develop, many of them shoot quite well...

    AR-9 optimization

    Update: Swapped the AR-10 spring for a standar AR-15 carbine to reduce the velocity returning to battery. Only ran 2 mags, but no doubles and they happened 3-4 times per mag, every time, before swapping the spring.

    20 Practical bolt gun barrel length??

    I shoot 40s with H322 from a 24". Insanely accurate and so fast neither of my chronos are accurate.

    Need advice on a build for a hunting rifle 6.5 cm or 308 carbon fiber or stainless steel barrel & and a good stock McMillan or similar?

    Well you'll get varied opinions on this, and I suggest in weighing them you consider whether the giver of the opinion acknowledges that it is their opinion and others may differ, or if they feel the need to degrade those who disagree with them and claim to be the sole proprietor of the TRUTH...

    Handgurd mi or geissele

    I swore off MI after I had a professionally installed one come off under recoil. Yes, it was a 458 SOCOM, but I don't care. No more friction fit and glue for me. I put no fault on the installer, it's a design fault. If the handguard isn't physically secured to the barrel nut I don't want...

    Explain this shit to me .

    Fact is control WILL flip again, and precedent will not be forgotten. There is something to be said for the philosophy that you should be able to get more than a simple majority for something really worthwhile. There is a reason the Founders put an elaborate system of checks and balances in...

    History Lesson from the Great War

    That's awesome. When we had to move my grandmother to assisted living we cleaned out her attic and found literally 200 years of family pictures and documents in her attic, including a family Bible from the early 1800s. Almost overwhelming to try and preserve and catalog.
