    Rifle Scopes My argument against "good" glass (for now)

    I recently purchased my first bolt action, a stock Rem 700 5R .308 which comes in a nice H&S Precision stock. I've got a 16x Millett TRS-2 sitting on top of a good rail and rings. I've been to the range 3x and "I" am shooting consistent 5-shot .75" MOAs prone with Federal Match 175 .308. However...

    First time using a cronograph

    Re: wrong data One last followup. Given both of these (very) limited test shots for velocity, for the reloaders out there: How typical is it to get a 16-27fps variance in your loads?

    First time using a cronograph

    I have some basic questions and I think this may be the best place to ask. Took out my new Rem 700 5R with a 24" barrel and some 175 Federal Match .308. Its my understanding that the ballistic info (2600fps) on the back of the 175 match ammo box was done using a 24" barrel, yet: 1) My...

    Drag bag modification: bipod loops
