    Advanced Marksmanship Is there an optimal process to fit a chassis to the shooter?

    I've had a lot of experience with stock fitting for shotguns mostly and with a gadget called a "try stock" which had adjustments for everything under the sun. Stock fit is everything on a shotgun, you don't use sights, you look at your target and pull the trigger when the sight picture is...

    bushnell 1mile conx problem

    You know, just wondering, why you would choose a 1 mile rangefinder for a 100 yard application? I suppose it can be made to work but I would consider trying it with a known rifle say in 308 and get familiar with how the software works first. The rifle input should encompass things like sight...

    bushnell 1mile conx problem

    I'm unsure what to tell you. You might try setting a full trajectory in there. Let's say your max range is 100 yards. Shoot and plot impacts every 10 yards from say 10 to 100, shouldn't take too long. Now input that data as your custom trajectory. There is a possibility that this instrument...

    Rifle Scopes How To Gas Purge a Scope?

    Which is why you will never work for an optics company. The gas has to move through the scope tube and into all the nooks and crannies around in there. Even the glove box needs to be purged and the interior air replaced on a regular basis. A stationary dump into a fish tank or bucket will do...

    Rifle Scopes How To Gas Purge a Scope?

    More than likely done in a glove box, not Tupperware. This way they can create an inert atmosphere within the box to start with. A word about N2, there are various grades of the stuff. Ideally, you would want UHP (Ultra high purity) but, that stuff is expensive, at minimum the grade you would...

    Rifle Scopes Quigley Q520 ffp

    :D Damn good thing I have a waterproof membrane over my keyboard. I really have to stop drinking in the office. I've been watching this thread all day and I just keep cracking up.

    bushnell 1mile conx problem

    Your device setup is totally wrong based on the displays you are showing. Go back and reread the manual and spend a very good deal of time studying it until you know what you are doing. You are also going to have to calibrate the instrument to your actual drop data and muzzle velocity to get...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns HK vp9/sfp9 help

    Middle finger for me, works like a dream. Walther did it better on the PPQ till some fools bitched about it and they went back to a mag release button. Both my PPQs, the 9 and the 40, have the trigger guard mag release. Very similar to the H&K but longer and easier to manipulate.

    Rifle Scopes Quigley Q520 ffp

    I have used BDC reticles before, even in SFP scopes. Nothing in particular wrong with them so long as you take the trouble to create and fill out a data book. Yeah, you'll go through a bunch of ammo to handle all the contingencies of range, weather and changes in the equipment as the rifle...

    bushnell 1mile conx problem

    What is that angle and what does it mean? Why use two angular measurements on one screen? Maybe a good read of the manual for this thing is needed?

    Dimple on bolt lugs

    May be an artifact of the forging process. In any case, no meaning to it, it is not on a load bearing surface.

    Should I build a .308win for training?

    I don't follow your logic there. Why not pick a caliber that is successful under current competition rules and strive to get the best out of the gun that you can? The 308 is still quite good and can easily be competitive. Competition is about the shooter first and the equipment last. By your...

    Focus on crosshairs or Target?

    As I stated earlier, it is the picture that counts, your brain will want to center on whatever you are concentrating on. You should not be looking at the group anyway, you should be looking at your point of aim. If you have a scope with correct parallax adjustment, your brain will see your...

    What should I do with my Remington?

    Get help. Gun fit is all important. You cannot hope to shoot a gun well if it doesn't fit you. Duplicate your normal shooting position with the scope off. Just get on the gun and feel what is natural and relaxed for you, If you are straining to get into position, you are doing something...

    Whats the best color to paint steel targets

    The most important thing is being able to see your target, IMHO. That means it needs to stand out against its background. An orange target against a green or blue background can be enhanced by using glasses with a slight reddish tint to them. Light yellow glasses will help under twilight...

    Broken Firing Pin (Surgeon)

    I really don't bother with snap caps on anything but high end shotguns. 10K cycles sounds about right for a center fire rifle. I like to snap in for awhile when at the range before I go to live ammo and may do a bit at home. No live ammo at home, it its always in another room. Rimfire guns are...

    Broken Firing Pin (Surgeon)

    Why not just contact Surgeon and obtain the part from them, get a spring while you are in there and buy some snap caps. This is very unusual, firing pins on center fire rifles don't break from dry fire. This really should be in the Gunsmithing section anyway.

    Focus on crosshairs or Target?

    Very different animals, shotgun shooting and rifle shooting. Myself, I was AA, 27, AA as a trap shooter, would be pissed at myself for missing a single target out of 100 at 16 yards. You decide before hand how you wish to approach a target with a shotgun, swing through or sustained lead...

    Focus on crosshairs or Target?

    You can really only focus on both if the parallax on your scope is set correctly. If you do not have adjustable parallax, you will only have the ability to see both but sharp focus must be on one or the other. I pretty much only shoot on square ranges these days and have all friggin day to get...
