    Nightforce Precision Shootout at PNTC Aug 23 & 24

    It is. Was just thinking of making a trip down prior to the PRS match. I know they are busy this summer. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

    Nightforce Precision Shootout at PNTC Aug 23 & 24

    Are there any regular monthly matches between now and then? Been a while since I've been down. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

    Rifle Scopes Schmidt & Bender 5-25x56 PM II/LP/MTC/LT or Kahles k624i MSR-K

    I personally run a Kahles. I have to compared it optically to a couple SBs and they are very close. The Kahles clicks are nice and tight and it would take A LOT for them to be moved accidentally but I suppose it could happen under the right circumstances. I've carried mine on my back, over a...

    Rifle Scopes How have the k624i Kahles been holding up?

    I have kind of the same problem with mine. Its very critical on where you set zero in relation to the line and the triangle. Usually if that happens I just dial back to zero and realize I may have been off a tad. Once I readjust its much better. Its only happened a couple of times but I know...

    Rifle Scopes How have the k624i Kahles been holding up?

    I'm wondering this myself. I picked one up last year that I thought was a Gen 2 and it has the detents. Oh and mine is an MSR Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

    Rifle Scopes How have the k624i Kahles been holding up?

    I've had mine with MSR reticle for about a year now. Run probably 8-10 matches with it. I've beat the crap out of mine. I buried the eyepiece in sand at one point, dropped it on the elevation turret (which i thought may have damaged it but it turned out my barrel smoked about 100 rounds later...

    I just saw this. I was thinking of doing something similar when time allowed. Hope this works out well. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

    Gunsmithing Lug Lapping?

    +1 I may have jumped the gun a little there. I was blueprinting an action yesterday so I wasn't really thinking about just doing the lugs without doing a full blueprinting and barrel job but Rprecision is correct. Don't get carried away with things and only take a little at a time. Mark them...

    Gunsmithing Lug Lapping?

    Darrel Holland used valve grinding compound in his AGI videos. But those are from forever ago. Never tried it myself. I have the 3 pack of lapping compounds from Midway I got years ago. Still have a ton left. Start with a file on the back of the bolt lugs if they are way off. Then I work my way...

    Newb on a budget

    Savage is GTG. Been running my 10FP since 97. If you really want a lefty I would grab a left handed short action in whatever caliber on the cheap...or even a Stevens if they make a left handed one. Then I would troll the net for a decent used stock like say the HS Precision that everyone gets...

    Sell me on 6.5 Creedmoor

    Plenty of info on search but to sum it up why I went with the Creedmoor: 1. Newer cartridge design and efficiency over say a 260 2. No mag length issues with seating 3. GOOD brass by Hornady. While not Lapua I'm on my 9th firing annealing every 4x and a buddy of mine got 25+ reloads from his...

    Rifle Scopes Which rings do you run?

    I've used a bunch over the years but have settled on the ARC M10 rings as my go to. They are just awesome and leave zero ring marks. I don't like cap rings anymore. Plenty of other good rings out there but theym ARC are so are easy to install and hold zero well when swapping between rifles...

    Want info on VLTOR A5 system and suppressed rifles

    And I'm going to be shooting 75/77s at max velocities if that helps. Even if you run a special buffer/spring system I'm all ears. Just looking for more info on the A5 currently.

    Want info on VLTOR A5 system and suppressed rifles

    I'm wondering if anyone runs the A5 system in an SPR type rifle with a suppressor and if they can report on its performance. Currently I have the following: 17" Noveske w/ rifle length gas H2 buffer M42K suppressor The rifle runs fine. The suppressor definitely adds a little extra banging...

    Bullet choice for .223

    Fmjbt's are cheap but I could never get them to group close to moa. That's from winchester, Hornady and armscor although the Hornady fmjs were the best I think maybe around 1.5moa and the armscor were like 2.5+ moa. Like I said the soft point flat base always worked better and aren't that much...

    Bullet choice for .223

    I've shot quite a few different bullets and find the 52SMK and Hor 55SP to be easy and cheap to load and get good to great groups. The 52's used to give me 1/4-1/2 moa out of a 1/7 and a 1/8 which surprised the hell out of me. I shot the 55SP at 200 the yesterday with a mild load of Tac and they...
