    Rifle Scopes Scope Advice: Leupold Mk 4 LR/T M3 w/ Premier Reticle

    A lot of what you are asking falls into the realm of personal preference. Why don't you give the scope a try and see if it meets your expectations. If it does, you're all set. If not, you can evaluate other options. For what it's worth, last week I was shooting 600 yards with a rifle topped with...

    CMP Eastern Games

    That was part of what I had in mind when I made the video. I thought if the word got out, it might encourage more shooters to attend. On the other hand, there is kind of a familial quality to the relationships between those of us who shoot there. Kind of like shooting with 200 of your closest...

    For anyone who might be interested, the link below will take you to a video I made a few days ago at the CMP Eastern Games: Camp Butner NC. The are plenty of vintage sniper rifles in the video; as well as a few vintage snipers, and quite a few other past military rifles. Be kind, I'm no Cecil B...

    Rifle Scopes Open center reticle opinions

    I've been using a TMR reticle for the past year, and I would say I like it more now than I did at first. It has taken some getting used to, but I think there is some advantage to not having a portion of the target obscured by the reticle. That being said, I think I'm still a little more accurate...

    Anyone going to the NRA Annual Meeting in Indy?

    You're not going, Frank? I thought you'd be first in line (and not just to exchange pleasantries with the folks at the TR booth). HRF

    Is anyone else worried?

    Sorry if I was unclear. I have no problem with anyone purchasing the best equipment they can afford. Continuing with your camera analogy, however, I think you'll agree the most expensive/sophisticated model does not in and of itself make one a photographer or film maker. There is a level of...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Remington R51

    I actually saw some things about it that I liked. The low bore axis and the recoil absorbing action to name two. If/when it works right, it should exhibit minimal muzzle-flip, and allow fast follow-up shots. The long take-up single action trigger also sounds interesting. Ambi mag release and no...

    Dramatic Loss of Accuracy past 100 yards. Anyone have any idea what is going on here

    Yeah, I see your point. I quick check on Ballistic AE shows it would take about a 30 MPH full-value wind to get that much deviation. I should have checked that first. HRF

    Dramatic Loss of Accuracy past 100 yards. Anyone have any idea what is going on here

    I'm wondering about the wind. Did it start gusting between your 100 and 300 yard shooting? Were the groups stringing horizontally/vertically, or did they open up proportionately? Also, did you dial on your elevation, or were you using a hold? HRF

    Testing melonited barrel, need suggestions for experiment

    My concern about melonited chambers/bores has little to do with accuracy and/or barrel life. I suspect it is comparable to chrome in regards to those qualities. What I'm worried about is melonite's ability to prevent rust from forming. I have seen surface rust form on melonited handguns, and I'm...
