    Movie Theater American Sniper - New Book

    Re: American Sniper - New Book Was privileged enough to get to meet him yesterday and get him to sign my book. Very, very nice guy. His wife was there and I just want to say what an incredible woman she was. She has passages in the book that show a glimpse into life back at home while...

    Movie Theater Ghost Protocol

    Re: Ghost Protocol Thought it was like MI2. They both sucked. MI3 was gritty, intense, and thrilling. Ghost protocol was none of these. I want 2 hours of my life back.

    Advise on a heavy duty AICS bipod

    Re: Advise on a heavy duty AICS bipod Suck it up and buy the Atlas. It's expensive but it'll travel to any gun you buy in the future. Every time I go shooting I find myself taking the time to switch the one Atlas I have to whatever gun I'm currently behind. After shooting the Atlas the...

    Gun mounted cameras

    Re: Gun mounted cameras Another vote for the go pro. With all of the options for the angle of FOV, quality, and FPS settings, there's the potential to do some really cool stuff. I'm looking forward to capturing some 120fps shots soon. Should be enough FPS to get some cool slow-motion I'd...

    Rifle Scopes At what yardage do you zero your rifle

    Re: At what yardage do you zero your rifle 100. I tried the whole 300 thing and after a couple of months of frustration switched back to 100. 100 is just a whole lot simpler. Parker

    Suppressors 7.62 or .338 Supressor?

    Re: 7.62 or .338 Supressor? I've run the TBAC 338 can on my DTA in both 308 and 338 for about 8 months. Works great. Wouldn't have it any other way. Just be aware that depending on the setup the can may look absolutely massive... Parker

    Advanced Marksmanship Setting up movers...both DIY and pre-built

    Did a search. All I came up was a really complex and ingenious design from a grain elevator that I can't pull off because I don't own any spare grain elevators, and this: http://www.actiontarget.com/store/movingturningtargets/at-runner.html Any feedback on the above system, or others like it...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911's Love/Hate

    Re: 1911's Love/Hate One thing I noticed from several years of carrying a Kimber 1911 OWB was that it definitely was not a light weapon. So you could probably knock it for being 'overweight', especially for daily carry when compared to its modern counterparts. But the trigger, reliability...

    Advanced Marksmanship Rear bag design and usage

    Re: Rear bag design and usage This may be a dumb question, but do shooters in the armed forces usually use rear bags? I mean, normally, in the field, in Afghanistan, are US forces bringing along a rear bag? Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I'm having a mental disconnect imagining this...

    Night Vision PVS14 which optic is preferred?

    Re: PVS14 which optic is preferred? Is the FOV better with the Eotech? I've found it to be extremely limited with my aimpoint setup. (And yes I've tried multiple mounts) If FOV is better with the Eotech I'd say that alone would be the deciding factor. Parker

    Night Vision "budget" thermal feedback

    Re: "budget" thermal feedback I bought and later returned that FLIR unit. It was a lot of fun to play with around the house or office. You could see where people had put their hand on the wall, or where the dog left a heat imprint where it had been laying on the floor. But in the field I...

    Suppressors Can Question..............

    Re: Can Question.............. Couple obvious but necessary points here: Make sure your can is rated for the highest weapon you are putting it on. Highest caliber, highest ROF, etc. IE don't stick a 308 can on a 300 Win mag just bc the caliber is similar. Don't stick a can meant for...

    Suppressors Red Jacket Suppressor

    Re: Red Jacket Suppressor It was on a CC for that very reason. A chargeback has always been in the back of my mind (although it's now been so lon gI'm not sure what their policy on how far back you can go to chargeback...) Anyway, if Red Jacket doesn't get me a firm production date next...

    Suppressors Red Jacket Suppressor

    Re: Red Jacket Suppressor FWIW... Just for grins I decided to order their suppressed shotgun. Was ordered back in March, told September-October production. Every time I called I was told it was just about to be put into production. As of today, Jan 5, I still don't have the suppressed...

    Suppressors Suppressed Accuracy with/without pics

    Re: Suppressed Accuracy with/without pics That fluted barrel is absolutely sick. Can we see more up close pics of that and the rifle? And who did the barrel work? And I've always felt that I shoot better suppressed simply due to the fact that recoil management is better and I can do a...

    Suppressors Copy or Original with you?

    Re: Copy or Origional with you? Copy. You'll probably notice that you will start accumulating NFA items rather quickly. Soon you'll have 4-5 copies and will inevitably need the one you don't have. I recommend starting a small folder/binder with a copy of all your NFA items. When you get a...

    Building a shooting tower. Need some feedback

    I have a max distance of 375 yards from target (and big dirt backstop) to the tower. Ground is level for about 300 yards starting at the base of the tower, then drops 3-5 yards or so over the last 75 yards before it hits the backstop. See attached diagram. I was thinking of the building a 2...

    Show Me/Tell me bout your Switch Barrel Rifles!!!!

    Re: Show Me/Tell me bout your Switch Barrel Rifles!!!! Another vote for the DTA system. I use it in 308 and 338 lapua magnum. You just have to write down what the difference is on the scope adjustment for zero. Takes less than 60 seconds to switch calibers (really). I've done it many...

    Advanced Marksmanship Zeroing at 300 yards?

    Re: Zeroing at 300 yards? I tried the 300 yard zero and like others have said, I found that there is actually much more room for confusion. Having to worry about dialing up and down may not seem like a big deal, but I found it to be a huge pain and eventually went back to 100 yd zero. Parker
