    Range Report Applied Ballistics Mobile App

    Thank you for the response. That's bad news. I doubt I'm the only one with this issue. Hopefully there are plenty of others who want to see the Horus reticles in this app. I shoot the H59 exclusively for long range after investing in an S&B 3-20 with H59 that I use on 3 different rifles. If my...

    stock packs on A5's..Do they work with the hook???

    Re: stock packs on A5's..Do they work with the hook??? I've used an Eagle stock pack on a McMillan A5 for a few years. Yes, you can secure the straps without issues.

    Load matching Acog Reticle

    Re: Load matching Acog Reticle Seems to be the problem with BDC knobs and reticles, they are bullet and barrel length (velocity) specific and rarely match up with what ammo or rifle you're shooting. Just a suggestion: Pick a bullet. Use a ballistics program to play with velocities for that...

    Suppressors What Combat/Drop Leg holster is your favorite?

    Re: What Combat/Drop Leg holster is your favorite? I ran a 6004 (high on the leg with only the bottom strap in use) in drop leg configuration for a couple years. About 2 years ago I switched to a 6365 with UBL belt attachment (ALS w/ SLS hood for Glock 19 w/ X300) and never looked back...

    Movie Theater Trailer: The Men Who Stare at Goats

    Re: Trailer: The Men Who Stare at Goats Saw the movie last weekend. There was little historical value (based on actual events). It even failed at being a good comedy, just not very funny. It took some swipes at the war and the Bush Admin. (I was trying to enjoy it until that point, then just...

    My new .308 build.

    Re: My new .308 build. I have a Crusader, they're a bit hefty compared to a Rem PSS. Good stocks and barrels ain't exactly light. You are lucky to be able to use that as a work gun.....very lucky. My agency insists on wasting A LOT of money on the M24 package, which comes with a fixed 10x...

    TAC in .308?

    Re: TAC in .308? Curious about answers on this as well. Just loaded up my first 10 175gr SMK's behind 40.5 and 41.0 grains of TAC to begin load development, but haven't made it to the range yet. I've been using TAC with very good results in .223 with LC 55gr FMJBT's and Sierra 77gr SMK's...

    Rifle Scopes LEOs chime in please

    Re: LEOs chime in please I work for a large Dept. in a very urban environment. Our teams snipers use Leupold Mk4 3.5-10x40mm scopes, however there are still a few fixed 10x Mk4's still being used. You would be well served with a Nightforce 3.5-15x50mm with whatever reticle your team prefers...

    Noveske SPR Barrel

    Re: Noveske SPR Barrel I'm in the market for an 18'' tube as well. I want to push the 77gr SMK's a little faster and further than than the 16" Recon barrel I have on my RECCE can. But I don't mind waiting. Out of curosity, what is the lead time on the SPR barrels? Thanks.

    Re: precision rifles... show em I've been waiting a while to build one of these. After much indecisiveness on whether to build an SPR or a RECCE, I decided on a RECCE. Here goes: Colt upper Noveske 16" recon 1:8 barrel LaRue 13.2 rail Surefire CAM4F556 flash suppressor/QD suppressor adapter...
