    Rifle Scopes $2,000 scope. WHY?!

    It's childish to ask without a little effort on your part first. In all seriousness, before posting another thread on the zombie apocalypse and shit hitting the fan and whether you can shoot 800yds with your ak, research these topics. At the end, post the relevant questions of is it worth it...

    Rifle Scopes $2,000 scope. WHY?!

    Read his other threads. He's either a troll or he needs to stop posting questions without doing any research whatsoever and there is a section for stupid marksmanship questions which is definitely where he should be starting.

    Rifle Scopes $2,000 scope. WHY?!

    I would repost this in "stupid marksmanship questions" then do some research. People may wonder what they get from 1k to 2k and 2k to 3k but $50 to a $2000 scope is a very stupid question and asked with little to no effort. There are hundreds of threads on optics and the collective benefits vs...

    6.5 cm for a 1000

    6.5x47, 260 and 6.5 creed can all run a 140gr bullet to 28-2850fps so there is no difference shooting to 1000. Whether you really hot rod it or not in one caliber generally only makes a difference of .2 mils vertically or horizontally at that distance. And for 1000yds I wouldn't say a 338 is...

    possibly moving to AZ...questions for you locals

    Youve obviously never lived in Phoenix. There is no four seasons with a spring and fall in the valley. Theres 4 months of hot, then 8 months of perfect weather with no cancellation of anything due to snow. The rest of the country can keep their record low winters blizzards and ice storms while i...

    Gunsmithing Thoughts on this firing issue?

    Those short sears give rem 700 clones all sorts of issues. The 510 with the U sear is the only timney I'll use at this point. I doubt you'd be the only one having this issue do to heat in the action, lots of guys run there guns very hot and a lot of matches are 10 shot strings

    I definitely have a need for that mk8 1.1-8. That thing is sweet.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Wife's wanting a handgun

    Keep shooting those uspsa matches. Your gun will eventually hiccup somehow and its a great stress induced situation to learn to clear your gun and there are lots of people help you learn. I worked at sportsmans and i think every woman ended up in love with that p30 after holding it. I agree a...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold, Why No Love?

    All they had for years was the mk4 mainly in moa with a mil reticle without the best magnification ranges while other companies were innovating and all going to ffp, mil/mil, 5/6/8 multiplied magnification ranges. Im sure onlyafter they realized their sales were getting crushed that they finally...

    Rifle Scopes Problem with my scope....what could cause this?

    Was the scope new? I had a similar issue with my mark 6. I had busted up the original turret on a rock and sent it in to leupold, they put a new turret on it and then I sighted it in. Next time I went out I was pretty close to 1 mil high and a half mil left. I think it just needed to settle...

    Rifle Scopes Who can make a sunshade for a Mark 6 leupold

    Did the bell line up size wise? Just wrong thread pitch? If so, that would be an easy cut of the threads and just rethread it. I have a guy that can do that.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Competition pistol "build"

    Don't replace the barrel. If you want to shoot lead then shoot bayou bullets. Theyre $250 shipped for 3700 and safe to shoot in a 34, ive shot over 10k through my barrel. Get some dawsons and get the ghost "rocket" connector (you have to fit it slightly, you need a dremmel or just a file). It...

    Too hot for the 6.5cm?

    42.5 is fine and a pretty standard load for most creedmoors. Looks good.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk4 and Mk6, help me decide

    I've got the mk6 and everyone complains about the clicks having play but it hasn't kept me from hitting anything in a match. It has a little play left and right but it tracks perfectly. The benefits of a capped windage turret, the length and the weight on a power range of 3-18 set it apart from...

    Can a .223 do that?

    Just as an update at a precision match Saturday we were shooting a swinger @ 200yds that was 3/4" thick and it was assumed rated for a rifle (it wasn't, I think someone grabbed it from the 3gun stuff for a shotgun or pistol). It made it to me the 23rd shooter and I had perfect hits on it at the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 carry

    All I'll say is if you can't draw the gun or the draw is slow, why would you consider that setup/gun? Getting it out is most of the battle and getting it out and in the proper grip is of utmost importance. If you can't draw a 5 or 4" 1911 in the standard vertical position I hate to break it to...

    Do I need to clean the barrel before the first shot?

    I think you're confusing the great "barrel break in debate" and just a simple cleaning to start. It's good to get the oils and who knows what other debris is in the barrel from the factory. If you don't want to damage the barrel while cleaning then get a quality coated cleaning rod and and bore...

    AZ LRPRS monthly match

    It's pretty simple, every 3rd Saturday. Now you have a months notice. 50rds is always a guarantee. I think we might be moving back to 8am starting next month, that'll be the only thing to really keep an eye out for which will be posted here or the best place to find the match info is on the...
