    Is there any real difference in electronic ear protection anymore?

    ESP has been great. In ear, comfortable enough for all day wear. It’s like not wearing ear pro. https://www.espamerica.com/

    Pacific Tool and Gauge BDL drop in DBM detachable bottom metal for Rem 700 SA

    I wouldn’t want a bottom metal that only took one kind of magazine. Especially polymer

    Thanks to our sponsors

    In an effort to increase the number of participants at our local matches over this summer we have run a points race at our local club matches. It ended last week with a two day 160 round match. I would like to thank those that stepped up to help a small outlaw series grow into something awesome...

    It was 3 positions trunk, roof, hood For the roof it was to tall even for the giants to stand on the ground. Some guys chose to stand on a bag, some chose to take the time to open the door and stand on the sill, and a couple went cave man and climbed up on the roof for the shot. Fun stage!

    High End Reloading Equipment

    Those are all great things for your reloading room. In order I’d do the AutoTrickler, then the amp then the Zero press. The AutoTrickler will make the biggest difference in the speed and quality of your reloads. The load cell technology in the chargemaster is not in the same category as the...

    Precision Rifle Gear Tactical supply talons?

    If you find them let me know. I’m hoping it’s just my weak Google-fu.

    Front and Rear bags

    Also consider going to some local matches before you buy. Most guys are more than willing to let you try bags out. I will also agree the heavy shmedium is a great place to start. I find the pint size just isn’t big enough on occasion (like shooting prone down hill)

    Build finally done.

    Shot the centurion yesterday. It was amazing. I know the recoil force is the same but the felt recoil impulse feels much better. I don’t know if it was me having a good day or the new stock, but it put down what could have been the smallest group of my life (til I yanked number 5) The...

    Why the hatred for savage?

    I have no hatred for savage, in fact I recommended one to my daughter for her first rifle. It was the best rifle that fit her budget. Just go in with your eyes open. At our local matches I have yet to see a stock savage shoot 80 rounds without having a stage where feeding/extraction issues...

    Build finally done.

    So after 5 years, 10,000+ rounds, 5 barrels, countless mods. The rifle is finally complete. Budget, and availability finally met and the Foundation Centurion finished the build. So I am no longer running the most pimped out Bell and Carlson on the planet. 22 pounds. Impact action Bartlien...

    Stats for velocities and groups.

    I am not personally looking to load for a 5 shot SD. When I use a 5 shot SD, it is only to eliminate a load. It has mislead me before but very rarely. When it has it gets discovered during my final step. either way can we agree that many shooters would benefit from an extra 50 rounds of focused...

    Stats for velocities and groups.

    So why is a 5 shot the standard for groups but not for velocity? I’ve been seeing a lot of discussions lately about SD numbers being useless without a large sample size. I agree that the SD may be unreliable with a smaller sample size but I don’t...
