    Rifle Scopes Leupold CMR-W 5.56 reticle - ballistics reference variables ???

    I would play with altitude to find what matches the elevation. Since most of these are destined for Afghanistan and likely to be used in mountains I would start around 8000 feet. When I used to teach at 8000 feet I found a M3 dial for 30-06 was super close to my 175s in my 308. I also use a...

    GunsAmerica supports TR law suit against the Hide

    1. Brits are good to go in my book. Saved my bacon when nothing in it for guys who did it. Great Warriors. Honorable folks. 2. Frank. This lawsuit is just dumb in my opinion. I have read most of what has been said about Tacticalrifles.nets work on here. Then I examined my friends...

    TacticalRifles.net

    Guys no matter how stupid a lawsuit is it still costs a shit load of money to defend yourself. Frank sorry for BS you and Marc are going through. Based on what I have seen from the one TacRifles.net rifle I certainly would not recommend anyone buy one

    Tab Gear Sling for Hunting

    Having made leather and nylon slings since 1980s I can say this. Leather looks better and nylon does everything a sling should better, lasts longer and is better for tough use. I quit using leather for hard use two decades ago and have not missed it. Take your nylon sling and put some dabs...

    1907 sling treatment

    I always used Neatsfoot oil but never tried the newer stuff because I switched to nylon for slings. With Neats Foots it turns a rich pretty color and lasts about a year before needed to be reapplied. Makes the leather soft as well. Used this on my leather slings and baseball mits since I was a...

    dang, Oakland is wild

    Paw, the Detective shooting the other Detective was a fuck up plain and simple. How it happened will probably perplex me for the remainder of my life. I imagine the guy who fucked up will never recover. No explanation can cover it. The numbers you are working with are skewed because you...

    dang, Oakland is wild

    I love it when guys know everything but really absolutely nothing. The accidental shooting was one Detective shooting another Detective. Neither where SWAT. Neither had ever been SWAT. The reason SWAT became so well used was these types of accidents happened a lot more back in 1960s before...

    Who invented the straight behind the rifle prone position?

    Kraig, what amasses me is some of the weird positions I see in F Class. I see guys look like corkscrews but still shoot small. It really opened my eyes to let them use what ever works and is repeatable. With that said I think the straight behind the rifle is the most repeatable way for bipod...

    Is this a good buy for the price???

    Now how the hell did we every get by the last thirty years with Mildots and MOA adjustments. No doubt MIL Mill is easier to learn but Mil MOA is simple

    Who invented the straight behind the rifle prone position?

    I learned the straight behind the rifle from the FBI Sniper School in 1984. That was taught at Fort Ord in Montery California by both the FBI and West Coast Army AMU. They did not teach it as a new technique but as what they liked best for bipod shooting. With sling shooting I was taught the...

    That's a very good price. I have that exact same scope and its very good. On the Pelican case. I have a bunch and other than when I go on an airplane I don't use them. I use a drag bag from safe to range and back

    Fieldcraft How to carry heavy barreled beast

    From my perspective I make slings. I use 1.5" wide nylon which is great up to around 18-20lbs to carry. Basically for any weapon you will shoot from a sling position. Once you get above that such as a Chey Tac or 50BMG its too heavy to use from a slung position. We are now approaching...

    That stock is heavy but I have seen some fantastic groups shot with that stock. I don't like how it feels or carries but the stock will shoot
