    I’m looking to see if there would be any interest in a Vintage Sniper Postal Match? Here’s what I have in mind, 100 yards on a reduced target. Not everyone has access to a 300 or 600 yard range. Going by the CMP rules for equipment and time limits for competition. Shoot one match per month...

    Need some help with Ballistics AE

    I have been running into a problem with Ballistic AE, in that after putting in all the data, the numbers just don’t match up. Example, I set up my Springfield 03A1, loading 168’s and IMR 4895, chronographed the load and uploaded to the program. I get it out on the range to find out the come ups...

    More vintage F class fun

    We made the trip again to southern New Jersey to shoot a 600 yard F class Sunday. This time around Joe shot his Springfield 03A1, I shot my M40A1 copy. Conditions were very squirrelly, but we gave a good accounting of ourselves. Looking up and down the line at all the rigs and gear, I felt like...

    My buddy and I took our rifles to an f class shoot in south Jersey yesterday. I shot my M40 copy, he had his M70 clone. We wre on different relay so I didnt get any photos of his rifle.

    Vintage .22 day

    Today was vintage 22 day at the range. And being the masochist’s we are we decided to shoot at 200 yards. My buddy Ken had his Winder musket in 22 short and mine is a Springfield 03, converted to 22 long rifle. We run the “no balls challenge “ an 8x10 target at 200 offhand. Good times!

    Rifle Scopes How close is too close?

    I just mounted my vortex on my 308, there is a space between barrel amd the objective but it’s really close . There is a clearance enough to slide a folded piece of paper under it. My question is, is that ok? How close is too close? thanks, Kevin

    Gunsmithing Need advice on fixing loose mount screws

    I have a Mosin PE sniper mount and for some reason the screws on the mount itself come loose after about 20 rounds. I'm pretty sure the threads were not done all that well to begin with so I'm stuck with it. I have tried the blue(breakable) loktite and it's not working. The was I see it I have 2...
