    How to learn precision shooting?

    a grendel barrel, bolt, and mags could be a good option if you need to stick with an AR, but it will cost as much as a remington 700 varmint. Its how I started tho - broke apart my .223, slapped in the Grendel stuff, then started shooting 1K+ and reading, lots of reading.

    $1500----7mm Rem Mag or 300 WM----what make?

    Bought a sendero 300wm a while back, and wasn't too happy with accuracy. Nice custom barreled actions come up for sale on gunbroker and forums. I picked up a nice 6.5x284 with low round count, krieger barrel, and trued rem 700 for $800. Tossed it in a bobby hart accublock stock, and with a...

    308 win for 1 mile shot

    I pulled back on this attempt until I get a load worked up for my 30-378. I'll still chuck some .308 win at the target while I have it set up. I plan to use 2 4x8 sheets of plywood to sight in, then an ipsc steel target as my goal. I have the california bar exam coming up so I won't have any...

    Don't Get Stomach "Flu"

    Unfortunately my Christmas has not been so Merry, got hit hard with CDC - Norovirus Home Page This is spreading quickly in my area, 6 of my friends came down with it in the past few days. Make sure to wash hands and be aware of what you are touching. Hopefully this saves someone's new...

    Big 6.5 for long range

    Nosler has a new 6.5 super magnum class round coming out, should be a shotshow reveal. That might fit the bill... The 26 Nosler ? Nosler

    Level Indicators - Any recommendations?

    Holland has a decent light weight level, but I prefer my flatline ops top for Mark 4 rings- very solid and perfectly placed. If I keep both eyes open, the level appears to float transparently inside the scope

    6.5 Grendel build...advice

    If you run a 24 inch barrel, you won't need a comp, it will be heavy enough to stay on target and recoil will be minimal

    Rifle Scopes beginner scope help. help me choose bushnell, nightforce, swfa, or vortex

    Went Nightforce and never looked back.... Just kidding, I love my NXS, but have the Sightron SIII 8-32, 10-50, and the new 6-24 FFP is under the tree. I place SIII glass above Leupold Mark 4, on par with my NXS, but definitely below the ATACR. That super sniper HD will likely have better...

    Took the m70 out for one last time before its transformation.

    I'd leave that thing alone, it looks and shoots too pretty to mess with, that gun's got soul. I'd grab a cheap rem varmint or savage and go nuts with it instead.

    Good LR /low recoiling cartridge?

    My 13lb 6.5 grendel doesn't move much - no brake needed, it also has a similar trajectory to what you are currently shooting

    Rifle Scopes Help Scope Bell Size for Elk Hunting

    My Dad just took and Elk using an ATACR on a Gap 300wsm hunting rifle. FWIW, it wouldn't fit in the scabbard when riding on the outfitter's horses, but he took the elk cleanly with one shot at 285 yards. To him, the compromise was worth it.

    the 6.5 Grendel gets one last try

    My 18" LW barreled Grendel would shoot a solid 1 MOA with anything I put in it (factory, reloads, ect). All reloads had been in the Hornady case. One day I decided to get nuts on a set of reloads (weigh everything & sort). I shot just a bit sub-moa with the 20 loads that I made, but it was...

    Rifle Scopes Glass Quality Question - Bushnell G2DMR vs. Sightron SIII

    interesting, I expected brightness on the 3.5-21 to be better considering the tube diameter, and the glass to be a clear step up from their 30mm scopes. Looks like I'll be getting the SIII 6-24 FFP then. Thanks for the good info

    Rifle Scopes Glass Quality Question - Bushnell G2DMR vs. Sightron SIII

    I have a few Sightrons and like the glass, but have yet to come across a Bushnell DMR scope to see how it compares. Has anybody looked through both the SIII (6-24 would be the most relevant) and DMR and come to a conclusion?
