    Did I get a bad box of ammo?

    Forum is called Stupid Marksmanship Questions so here goes. I had the oddest thing happen at the range yesterday, finished off one box and opened another of the same brand and bullet and couldn't hit shit with the rounds out of the second box. Rifle is a Tikka T3 CTR 6.5 Creedmoor in a Cadex...

    Rifle Scopes Minox ZP5 not holding parallax adjustment

    Anyone else having issues with Monox ZP5 not holding the parallax adjustment? I was starting to think it was me but during the last 2 range trips I've noticed I've had to reset the parallax a couple of times. I can get the image crystal clear then 10 shots or so later it gets slightly blurry...

    Optics *SOLD* Like new 34mm Seekins X-High rings

    Like new set of Seekins 34mm xtra high (1.26") rings. Mounted my Minox on my new Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor for the few months it was in the factory stock. When I switched to the Cadex chassis the rings were a tad low so I went with MDT Premier 1.5" rings. Other than the torn shrink wrap you'd never...

    Suppressors Silencer for precision shooting

    What silencer is considered the best for precision shooting? It'll be used on my Tikka 6.5 and occasionally moved to my .223 bolt gun until I can swing a dedicated can for it. I know all will have some POI shift, but which ones have the least and are the most repeatable? Gun shop at the local...

    Accuracy difference between 223 Wylde and 5.56 chambers

    Back during the black Friday sale I ordered a 1-8 twist, 24" heavy profile prefit from Columbia River for one of my lesser (cheap) bolt actions. The factory barrel isn't bad, but it gets hot really fast and is a 1-9 twist. I just got the barrel (8-10 weeks turned into 4 months) and it isn't...

    Rifle Scopes Is a Minox ZP5 worth the extra money over a Cronus BTR?

    I know, I know, not another help me choose glass thread, but I have a comparison I haven't seen before. I've come into a little extra money and as most on here would do I'm going to use it to buy a new rifle. I'm going to do a CTR 6.5C in a Cadex Field Competition chassis and I need to decide...

    Who has Cadex Field Competition chassis?

    Looking at the Cadex Field Competition chassis for a new Tikka CTR but nobody has them, they're all back ordered. Anybody have any insight into the shortage?

    Rifle Scopes Athlon reticle question

    Is the reticle on a Conus BTR as thin as the Midas TAC? Long story short, I finally got the wife out to the range over Christmas and she did really good. My rifles didn't fit her very well so I decided to try to put together a cheap, used rifle for her. If she likes shooting I'll get her...

    Suppressors Direct thread or muzzle device?

    Getting ready to E-file my form 1 for a can that will be used on my 6.5 and several .223s. My question is direct thread (bushing, rockset or similar almost permanent attachment, on the 223s to go from 1/2" to 5/8) or muzzle devices with the same attachment type on all? What are the pros and...

    What's up with Columbia River Arms?

    I ordered a barrel on black Friday and they said 8-12 weeks. It's been 10 weeks so I emailed to see if they had an ETA on the barrel and the email bounced. I know I had the right address as I replied to an earlier email. After the email bounced I went to their web page and it won't open...

    Two NIP MDT polymer .223 mags for sale

    During the black Friday sales I picked up 2 MDT 10 round .223 mags to use in my new Oryx chassis. Turns out the chassis for the Mossberg MVP uses AR mags so I have no use for these. I'll take $50, shipped for both.

    Vortex Razor HD 27-60x85 vs Leupold SX-1 Ventana 20-60x80

    I've been thinking about upgrading my spotting scope and I can get a Vortex Razor HD 27-60x85 for about $1,250. So how much better is the Vortex than the Leupold SX-1 Ventana 20-60x80? Is it yea that's better, wow that's a lot better or holy crap that's way better? I've had the Leupold for...

    Spotting scopes on par with a Kowa TSN-885

    I was out at the range the other day shooting next to this very friendly couple. I was shooting from a bench and they were shooting prone. Even though the prone shooting area is off to the side it's in front of the benches so we took turns engaging the 600 yard steel targets. During one of my...

    What comp for 6.5 Creedmoor?

    Getting a new rifle and need to put something in place of the thread protector so what compensators are you guys who don't run cans using on your 6.5 Creedmoor? One of the ranges I shoot at has the benches fairly close together and some comps make it uncomfortable to be at the next bench so If...

    Opinion on which direction to take - rebarrel .223, buy new 6.5 Creedmoor, or build 6.5 off donor action

    In need of the hide's opinion. I'm getting back into shooting after about 6 years off and want a bolt action rifle that's more precise, and better suited for longer ranges, than what I have. As of now I punch paper @ 100 and 200 yards and shoot steel out to 600, which is the longest distance...

    WTS/WTT Savage 93R17 17HMR w/Nikon Monarch 4-16 x 42 scope

    I'm posting it here because I might be interested in trading for a centerfire bolt action either complete rifle or donor action. I have a Savage 93R17 17HMR w/Nikon Monarch 4-16 x 42 scope for sale. It has a 20" bull barrel, regular walnut stock and less than 400 round through it since new. I...

    Fundementals for accurately shooting an AR

    I see a lot of guys talking about how the fundamentals are different with a gas gun than with a bolt a action, but usually it's left at that and nobody gets very specific on what's different. I would assume breathing, trigger pull and sight picture should be the same, but what's different...

    FS Savage 93R17 17HMR rifle with Nikon Monarch Scope

    I've decided that I must have a Tikka T1X 22LR, and since the safe is full and the gun budget is empty something has to go. I have a Savage 93R17 17HMR w/Nikon Monarch 4-16 x 42 scope for sale. It has a 20" bull barrel, regular walnut stock and less than 400 round through it since new. I...

    Time for something new, can't decide between Tikka and CZ457

    I think it's time for my Savage 93R17 with a Nikon Monarch scope to find a new home. There's a pretty large gun show nearby this weekend and I'd like to use the Savage as a trade on a new 22LR, but can't decide which one. I'm looking for a quality, moderately priced bolt action (already have a...

    Rifle Scopes Any difference in glass between Viper PST Gen II SFP and FFP 5-25x50?

    Need another scope and would like to try a Viper PST Gen II 5-25x50 in MOA. It'll only be for punching paper and steel at known distances so SFP would probably be fine. I have a Diamondback Tactical FFP with the EBR-2C reticle and think with the spread out christmas tree and think it's a lot...
