    F T/R Competition FT/R and 80SMK

    I found what looks to be a node at 2940ish. I couldn't get to the range today to test so it will have to wait another week. I have 25 rounds loaded up to test at 100 and 300 (the furthest I can shoot locally) and get all my numbers.

    Gunsmithing Aluminum DBM for Howa Mini?

    I had a CDI bottom metal set up on a Savage rifle. I had the stock sent directly to them and they did the inletting as well. Other than the fact that I'm partial to the "stealth" type magwell, it worked fine. Fit and function was very nice. If it was something I needed on another rifle, I...

    F T/R Competition FT/R and 80SMK

    I am using CFE223 right now but will be testing Varget again. I had some trouble making Varget work as my testing was not good. I've since revamped my methods and am much more confident that I can attain the consistency necessary for a solid load. I realize that I'm not competing against...

    F T/R Competition FT/R and 80SMK

    That much wind had me freaking out a bit but loving every second. I found the challenge to be quite fun. The winner, who has shot a perfect 600/39X as a club record, scored a 588/23X with a big ass 284Win. So my score with a .223, in comparison, is not horrible at all. I'm very excited to...

    F T/R Competition FT/R and 80SMK

    So I shot the match. I had zero time to tune my load. I shot this load based of a single shot in a 5 shot series. 543/4x in 18mph winds (Cumberland Riflemen). I'm thrilled.

    F T/R Competition FT/R and 80SMK

    Unfortunately I won't be able to test. I'm going to go with the (very limited) data that I've collected. Bullets should be running about 2780. I'm happy to hear that they will do well moving even slower. Match is this weekend. I simply do not have time to test further.

    Thank you. What is "FO"? Never mind. I got it. F-Open.

    F T/R Competition FT/R and 80SMK

    I will (finally) be shooting my first FT/R. I believe it's considered "mid-range", 600yards. I will be shooting a 223 bolt gun. I am running the 80grain Sierra Match Kings. If they are running at 2800, is that enough speed? It seems to be a node in my rifle. I will be exploring it further for...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold VX-5HD, Anyone Used One?

    My LGS got the VX5 in yesterday. My day at work was really slow so I took a little ride to take a look at it and gather some impressions. The adjustments are very solid. It's not NF solid, but I didn't expect that. They are solid. The Zero Stop on the scope is awesome from what I can tell...

    F T/R Competition Berger 200.20x

    My buddy gave them a whirl in his FT/R rig. He wasn't in love with them and ultimately went back to the 185's. I'll drop him a line for his initial load.

    Rifle Scopes Leupold VX-5HD, Anyone Used One?

    @beetroot Thank you for that review. There isn't a lot out there for this scope as it's not a "whiz-bang" kind of piece. However It's an interesting scope to me as it ticks the boxes I feel are relevant to me at this time: relatively inexpensive, decent glass, elevation turret that is low...

    Looking for McMillan A1-3 Reviews

    Is anyone on here running the McMillan A1-3? If so, how are you liking it? Any thing you would change? Would you buy another? What caliber are you shooting? How well does it manage recoil? It's on my radar for my next stock and I figured I'd ask here before reaching out to McMillan about...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold VX-5HD, Anyone Used One?

    Has anyone used the Leupold VX-5 3-15x50? For a variety of reasons, it's a scope that I'm considering for my next rifle. Would like some first hand information on it, ie: How is the tracking? I won't be torturing it but I'd like it to be somewhat consistent. Clarity? Any edge to edge...

    F T/R Competition What stock should I use?

    Any stock should do as long as it makes weight. The Archangel is pretty heavy. Might want to throw your rifle on a scale with glass, bi-pod, empty mag and see how it comes out. 18lbs I believe is the limit. If the rifle shoots well as is, shoot it as is. Go and have a good time. Take...

    Gunsmithing And Yet Another Thread on Threading and Methodology

    It's all good and I appreciate the feedback. I'm just gonna go in at a 29.5ish angle and color it done. I'm not sure why the gent I watched goes in at a 90 (perpendicular to the work) but he does and it seems to work very well for him. He is on a manual machine as well, fwiw.

    Gunsmithing And Yet Another Thread on Threading and Methodology

    I think my head may have exploded. Yup. Cleaning up the mess now. I'm a hairdresser. This is all VERY foreign to me. I play on a very manual machine. No DRO. So what you just typed, and typed clearly, is a lot for me to digest. I'll have to re-read it tomorrow. And probably the day...
