    Nomad Long Range Monthly Rifle Shoot Douglas, WY

    I don't know any of you guys yet, but this match sounds like a great time from what I've heard. Can I get in on this? April 28? I'd love to join you guys! I'm also happy to lend a hand with set-up if you need it. ScottyD

    Rifle Scopes SWFA SS 10x42 or Something Else

    I love the SWFA 12x scopes for long range target shooting. The jump from 10x to 12x goes a long way in helping see fine detail at longer ranges in my opinion. -And the 12x reticle doesn't seem as tight and crowded as the 10x mil-quad. I would only stay with the 10x (or go to the 3-9) if I was...

    Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

    Huge thanks to everybody involved for a fantastic match yesterday. What an amazing place to shoot, and a great group of people to shoot with. Thanks to the guys in my squad for being so helpful and putting up with a FNG like me. Lots to be learned down in Raton. How many times can the wind shift...

    2.0 skins aics pistol grip vs. viper

    Very happy viperskin owner here. I didn't get along well with the AI thumb-hole, and the pistol grip is MUCH better for me. Haven't handled the AI version, but the new design of that "V2" rear viperskin is working out great with my rear-bag situation. I think its big improvement over the older...

    Help Choosing a .223 rem

    Yup, having gone down the classic FNG route with my 1:9, I can definitely see the wisdom in turbo54's advice.

    Help Choosing a .223 rem

    I have a .223 Rem 700 sps with a 20" 1:9 barrel. I've been pretty darn happy with it. The factory barrel has been shooting pretty well for me, although I tried a bunch of factory ammo and the only thing it really likes is 69g FGMM. Check out "mail call mondays" budget tactical video series on...

    Let's See Some .260 Rem/6.5 CM Builds/Specs Picture Thread!!!

    Cheers Hogtooth5r! I was shopping around for a chasis, and the AI was about the only thing available in a lefty at the time... That made the decision easy for me. I didn't get along too well with the thumb-hole on the original AI skins, but the pistol grip on the viper skins is working out...

    .223 precision build questions. Help me understand.

    I'll chime in here with a budget build option that's showing me 1/2 moa at 100yds. Mine started out as a rem700 sps straight off the shelf from a big-box store. 20" 1:9 factory barrel. I went with a B&C stock, jewel trigger, and a badger bolt knob. I was too cheap/impatient to get the barrel...

    Let's See Some .260 Rem/6.5 CM Builds/Specs Picture Thread!!!

    VERY nice looking set-up Hogtooth5R! That HDMR seems to be a very nice fit. I've got a long way to go to get to 100 posts, so I'll gladly join in here: My LEFTY 6.5CM thanks to Accurate Ordnance (SWFA 5-20x mounted in Seekins rings): SPECS: 140g A-max @ 100yds...

    Poor man's barometer? Also would like some of your dope...

    I just picked up one of these for $42.50. Happy with it so far. All I needed was temp and barometric pressure this things seems to fit the bill nicely: High Gear WeatherPort Altimeter Barometer I've got some 140g A-max (~2825fps) dope for you in mils. 25" barrel and data collected at...

    Rifle Scopes Look what showed up today

    Very nice move by swfa, IMO. I can think of a few rifles that would be a perfect home for that scope. I wonder if they just killed the Weaver 3-15 sales? To you guys doing reviews: I would LOVE to hear how the glass compares to their fixed power models. -A side-by-side with their fixed 10x or...

    RWS 6.5 Creedmoor Build

    I've made it to 3 CRC matches so far -always a great time (big thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Quickdraw)! I've only shot the match with 69g smk's in my .223 Rem700 so far. I can't wait to shoot a match with the new 6.5! It was killing me that the match got weathered out last weekend! SApenguin and I...

    RWS 6.5 Creedmoor Build

    VERY Nice! That spur mount is looking good up there! For future reference would you happen to know the size/height? -Perfect fit for the SWFA. As a fellow 6.5cm/swfa 5-20 owner, I'd have to say we have very similar taste. Can't beat the quality of that SWFA HD glass for the price, IMO. I'm new...

    1000+ at Pawnee in CO, but where?

    Anybody got a weekday free and want to head out to Pawnee? I've had my new 6.5CM out to 1050yds at CRC so far, but would love to stretch it a little farther. I've got some AR500, but its only 9"x12"... Feel free to drop me a PM or whatever. My schedule is pretty flexible. Weather is getting...

    Are Air rifles the pacifier or alternative to ammo availability & cost?

    Hey top Predator. NICE! You're in it now. My first break-barrel cost about $125 with mounts and scope "Beeman 650" or something like that. I remember telling myself: "I will NEVER spend the big money on those crazy PCP guns".... Oh man...Famous last words! You have no idea how deep I got in it...
