    Hunting Rifle Arca and Mlok

    Like @hereinaz mentioned above, I run a shorter Arca towards the midpoint and a shorter Pic rail up front. Once I upgrade my crappy bipod to a nicer one, I'll probably run a full length Arca. This works well for now though. Plus I can run my Magnetospeed on the Pic rail, which is super...

    Advanced Marksmanship Data Book and Charts - Dope - Wind Rose - Weaponized Math - MOA to Mil - Jack Master

    Advanced Marksmanship Data Book and Charts - Dope - Wind Rose - Weaponized Math - MOA to Mil - Jack Master

    Thanks for sharing @captainmorgan460 . Can you clarify what the "42.9" is in the top right? I can't figure it out for the life of me. I assume the 270 is the wind direction? Is the 42.9 the DoF? Sorry if I'm being dense.

    Range Report 175 30cal smk

    2586 with 185 jugs from a 17" seems pretty good. For what it's worth, I'm getting 2510 out of a 16.5" barrel w/ 175SMK, 44.2 Varget, Lapua brass, 1500DA, 70*F.

    School me on truing a kestrel 5700 elite to my actuals

    I necro'd it, as I finally got my first Kestrel and found this useful, so I thought I'd add some newer links/resources to help others.

    Optics Extended through Lunchtime 2/18/20 ,- Kestrel Sportsman Ballistics Weather Meter reduced to only $249.99

    This is what mine did, after I first did a factory reset, and also updated the IOS app to the latest version. It's working great now. Playing around with it for a couple days, it makes me wonder how I ever survived without a kestrel. :) The WeatherFlow+iPhone combo pales in comparison...

    Optics Extended through Lunchtime 2/18/20 ,- Kestrel Sportsman Ballistics Weather Meter reduced to only $249.99

    Update...I was able to push the firmware update via the Kestrel Link iOS app. I'm not sure why it was failing at first. I did a factory reset and it worked after that. I still can't connect via Bushnell Ballistics app though. It just sits on the "Scanning for Devices" screen.

    Optics Extended through Lunchtime 2/18/20 ,- Kestrel Sportsman Ballistics Weather Meter reduced to only $249.99

    I received mine today, great deal and awesome service/shipping! Unfortunately I am having issues w/ bluetooth connection as well. I can connect from the Kestrel Link app on IOS, but I cannot connect from the Bushnell Ballistics app. Nothing shows up on the Bluetooth screen. If I try to do a...

    Rifle Scopes Optic for 10.5” 556?

    On my 7.5" pistol, I have a Holosun with ACSS reticle (503G I think), and the Vortex Micro3x magnifier, fixed front and flip-up rear irons. I'm loving the combo so far, and will be using it at the Tactical Games this year.

    Range Report Hunting caliber

    I went 308 on my 16" hunting setup. I think it's the best all-around hunting setup, barrel will last forever, plenty of quality ammo to choose from, and if you go short, it's a super handy package to drag through the woods (especially since mine's an SRS Covert). If you want something that's...

    Letting people know about a range...

    @joelinux, I have an idea on how to get some attention for the Central Coast Long Range Shooters range ...get enough people interested to have @lowlight teach a class there. It looks like an awesome range, and San Luis Obispo is a cool town. I'd sign up.

    Letting people know about a range...

    I'm headed to SLO in May for the Tactical Games, I might try to leave a day earlier and spend Thursday at this range. Thanks for the heads-up. It's a 4 hour drive for me so not sure how often I could get there, but there aren't many ranges like this within driving distance at all, so I'm...

    Advice on over-gassed options?

    I ordered an adjustable gas block to start, I'll revisit the buffer (if necessary) once I get the gas under control. Thanks for the input.

    Advice on over-gassed options?

    It's 223/556 so subsonic isn't at play, but the different ammo / dirty argument applies.

    Advice on over-gassed options?

    I unfortunately cannot use suppressors :( so the Adjustable is probably overkill.
