    Shooting Techniques And Low Quality Ammo

    Re: Shooting Techniques And Low Quality Ammo No, using low quality ammunition is not a bad thing at all. I shoot brown bear through my 308 which costs me $9 compared to the $25 for FGMM or $30 for Hornady superformance. That means I can shoot almost 3x more with the cheaper brown bear than...

    First rifle for kids....

    Re: First rifle for kids.... I don't have any kids, but I shot a BB and pelet gun until I was about 12. Never shot a .22lr until I was almost a teenager. But hey, hundreds of birds and squirrels met their match with my red rider!

    1:12 twist 308 help

    Re: 1:12 twist 308 help Thank you all for your help! For now I think I'll give the cheaper 175SMK a try that will hopefully help me develop a knack for reloading without burning a hole in my pocket. I just can't get my mind off the Scenars though...there's just something about them. I went...

    1:12 twist 308 help

    Re: 1:12 twist 308 help I like the Scenar because the length of the bullet seems to make it act like the 175. At least that's what a lot of folks have told me. Another highly recommended bullet is the Berger 155.5 FB, but I'm afraid my rudimentary reloading skills will be inadequate for...

    I own a Savage 12 F/TR which has a 12 twist, And I don't know where to start in bullet selection. I know, I know, shoot em all and see what my gun likes. I know that, but I'm looking for advice that might help me save some cash. Just need to get started somewhere. I'm torn between the the...

    Savage - Accustock vs. HS Precision

    Re: Savage - Accustock vs. HS Precision Get the LRP. I almost bought a LRH myself, but went with an FTR instead. I've never shot a more accurate gun in my entire life, and the LRP is just the tactical version of the FTR. Both are model 12's, and both will blow you away. If you're not going...

    Rifle Scopes Problem with tactical scope adjustments

    Re: Problem with tactical scope adjustments It is a Leupold Mark 4 LRT Well, after fiddling around with it for quite some time, the issue seems to be (oddly) that the markings on the knobs simply aren't precises. The hash mark is right at 0, and when I twist a complete 360 degrees, it will...

    Rifle Scopes Problem with tactical scope adjustments

    When adjusting elevation to, say, 6, the hash mark will be in between 5 3/4 and 6. Same issue with windage...when adjusting to 10, hash mark will be between 10 and 10 1/4. This is extremely annoying for tactical competitions that require quick adjustments because the only way to know where...
