    Newby from Gold Coast Qld Australia

    Howdy, Martin, and welcome! I'm in Texas, but I've had the good fortune of seeing a fair bit of the world, and I loved Australia. Spent most of my time in Canberra (a surprisingly sleepy town for a nation's capital) and Sydney. Aussies are basically the Texans of the southern hemisphere...

    New from TX

    Howdy, Colten, and welcome! I'm in Rockwall, and still fairly new to both the Hide and long range rifle shooting / competition. Based upon the responses from the other Texans on here, it sounds like a lot of the local action is out your way. Thinking I may need to up my gas budget a little...

    Howdy from Texas

    Public ranges? There was a good one in Leonard but they shut it down. I don’t mind the occasional drive if you’d do me the favor of pointing me in the right direction.

    Howdy from Texas

    I appreciate the welcome! Always good to have a network of experts to call upon. I grew up in the panhandle (Perryton), but I've been in the Dallas area since 1990. I'm a member of the Terrell Rifle and Pistol Club. It's an outdoor range with 25yd pistol lanes, a shotgun field, and rifle...

    Sub MOA sub $700

    I can vouch for the Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. I paid $420 for mine, paired it with a Falcon M18+ 4-18X scope ($450), Leupold rings ($30), and a VG6 Gamma muzzle brake ($65). With Hornady 140gr ELD Match ammo, it consistently holds sub-MOA accuracy out to 200 yards (the extent of...
