    Barrel Wear

    I feel your pain. At least I was happy with the way I shot my 03A4 in the Vintage Sniper Rifle Match! HRF

    Barrel Wear

    Yes, that's everything, and yes it seemed to be shooting pretty well earlier in the season. Looks like I tried to push it just a little too far. I wish I had swapped mine before CP rather than after. The one that died is an SS barrel, as I understand things, the carbon steel barrels will last a...

    Barrel Wear

    It appears that I have worn out the barrel in my RRA National Match rifle. At the National Matches up at Camp Perry last week, I was not terribly happy with my shooting. I actually thought it was just me having a bad day until I swapped out my rifle's upper with a brand new one. After the swap...

    Rcbs rock chucker single stage press as good as they say?

    I've had mine for about 15 years. Last winter I managed to break the priming arm. A quick call to RCBS had a new one shipped to me free of charge within about a week! HRF

    Help me find a reason to keep my 700P

    I suppose it depends upon how much the heritage of the 700P in .308 might mean to you. It's more or less a descendent of the USMC M40 originally developed by Remington. It has also been THE law enforcement Sniper rifle for the past 3 decades or so. If all that is meaningless historical mumbo...

    Gunsmithing Duracoat University Question

    I thought I'd run this up to the top one more time in case anyone missed it the first time. HRF

    I feel like I am missing something important.

    I'm sure whatever is missing isn't important anyway. Good luck, and have fun! HRF

    Gunsmithing Duracoat University Question

    It's about a 12-hour drive from my home. I'm thinking it might make a nice RV trip in the fall. HRF

    Gunsmithing Duracoat University Question

    Looks like not too many have attended. Has anyone heard anything about it? HRF

    Gunsmithing Duracoat University Question

    I'm thinking seriously about attending the "Duracoat University" conducted by LCW. If anyone here has attended previously, I would like to hear your thoughts. Thank You, HRF

    My Grandfather's 1939 Camp Perry Diploma

    One of the things of which I am acutely aware is the rich history associated with Camp Perry. When I shoot there, I feel like the ghosts of several generations of former shooters are looking on. I hope my performance meets their approval, and my conduct honors their memory. HRF

    Any advantages to a M1907 sling over a bipod on a modern bolt action rifle?

    They both have their places. A well rounded shooter should be competent with either depending upon the situation at hand. HRF

    Rifle Scopes Looking for new glass for department issued rifles.

    Moving targets are definitely doable with a SFP scope. It's just not quite as precise as with an FFP. HRF

    Sidearms & Scatterguns smith 39-2 mags?

    If he is just looking for shooters and not "authentic" originals, magazines for the 3900 series pistols will work just fine (I run one in my 39-2). I believe they are still available from S&W, and probably also from Midway. HRF

    Rifle Scopes Looking for new glass for department issued rifles.

    As a long time L/E Sniper, one thing I've come to understand is the importance of being flexible in terms of preparation for future operations. During the course of my career, I've set up as close as 25 yards, and as far away as 280 yards. In my last two deployments: I was at 54 yards last month...

    CMP Eastern Games

    There were actually several Mausers. They were just beyond my field of view. A couple of M1C/D's also made it to the line. The 1903A4 / 1941's are probably the most popular rifles in these matches, though. (by the way, be careful. The "cute butt" is only about 15 years old, and her Daddy might...

    Bolt Extraction problems for Remington 700P, any advice?

    Since you're both using handloads, that is the first thing I would want to eliminate as the cause of the problems. Try running some factory ammunition and see of the conditions persist. If not, then you need to start looking at your loading process (as mentioned above, an improperly adjusted...

    CMP Eastern Games

    Fortunately there were some Juniors at this match. You can see one or two near the end of the video. There were several more in the small bore competition. HRF

    Anyone used 168 gr Hornady Match BTHPs in their '03?

    My partner uses them in his 1903A4. He has good success with them. I get a little better accuracy with SMK's, but I don't think you'll be too disappointed with the Hornadys. HRF
