    Training Courses Corey Alan Jackson from Range Time, Terre Haute Indiana. (Stolen Valor)

    Add me to the list of people who wondered who this guy was and how he got so popular so fast. I remember watching a couple vids of his chick shooting only to check her out, LOL. I saw one where he was giving some sort of "advice" on safety with a close up camera angle of him keeping his finger...

    Tikka T3 Picture Thread.

    I see front bead sights on a lot of these muzzle brakes, but I don't see the matching rear sight? Or are you supposed to use the pica tinny rail as the rear?

    XLR Chassis Stock

    YIKES! Beautiful, but much heavier than I would have guessed. Im hoping thats all barrel and scope weight? I spoke with you last season before Xmas about the then soon to be released Savage long action (338 Lapua) carbon chassis but have since been considering switching to a Tikka in 308. Im...

    Oehler 35P Thoughts & Review

    I thought about the Magnetospeed but I don't have much faith in it on a 50 BMG, even if it would fit over that huge Barrett brake. Anyone of the Vegas guys have one I can try to blow up? HAHA!

    Oehler 35P Thoughts & Review

    Necro post time! Sorry guys, but I figured its better than starting a new thread. Im curious how the back to back chronos could return the same value? Even back to back there should have been a difference of at least a couple FPS slower in the second chrono? I have been researching Chronos...

    Leupold Mark 4 Spotting Scope Mil-dot Reticle?

    Anyone else had pics or vids through this scope? The video above does not look too good. Not sure if he just didnt focus the scope well or the video camera was focusing on the reticle instead of the field of view? Been trying to hit out to 1 mile and need a better spotter than my cheapo, "buy...

    Night Vision T14x thermal.... Too good to be true?

    Im in Vegas, I guess I should go check these out in person. Kind of weird as it does look just like the Night Optics?

    .338 Lapua side folder vs bull pup options?

    Yeah the bullpup is a double edged sword. Being I have a Barrett M99-A1 I know first hand, plus it keeps me from buying questionable ammo! =) Small pipe bomb going off by your cheek is a little disconcerting... I dont recall having any complaints about the DTA ergos as I was able to put 3...

    .338 Lapua side folder vs bull pup options?

    Im surprised to see that the AI is thousands more than a side folding TRG-42! You have owned both, at the same time? I agree having 2 rifles is better than one multi caliber, I doubt anyone would disagree. Now realizing I have handled and shot the DTA (Shot Shoot 2013) and in the past I have...

    .338 Lapua side folder vs bull pup options?

    Im am a bolt gun noob for sure, but why go through all the trouble converting a Remmy and not just run the Savage? Most agree that 338 in the R700 action is a "shoe horn" job. The Savage is also a floating bolt which is a better design, no?

    .338 Lapua side folder vs bull pup options?

    You mis-read what I said. The barrel for my 50 BMG Barrett is $600, I wasnt saying MRAD barrels are. I know the MRAD is a $6000 retail rifle, so im lucky that I only pay dealer cost so that puts the MRAD and your rifle neck and neck. Since side folder or bulpup is what I really want. I dont...

    .338 Lapua side folder vs bull pup options?

    I know this question wasnt directed at me but I can say I would be very confident about making that shot, depending mostly on weather. The best rifle in the world isnt worth a dam without a good shooter. The best shooter in the world wont hit crap with a bad rig. =) Although I agree...

    .338 Lapua side folder vs bull pup options?

    No doubt they are awesome machines, the problem is I feel they ask a significant royalty for the interchangeable calibers. I can buy a new barrel for my Barrett 50 BMG for $600 retail. Why does DT think theirs are worth TWICE what Barrett wants (i understand its not JUST a barrel but very...

    .338 Lapua side folder vs bull pup options?

    So I have been wanting a 338 Lapua for quite a while now since shooting a few different setups. I like bullpup setups but a side folder would be acceptable as well. The problem is it appears the price of entry for either is more than my Barrett 50 BMG which is more than I feel is appropriate! =)...

    Rifle Scopes Barrett M99 with PST 6-24x50 help!!

    Well I guess ill just chock this one up to "who knows". Best guess is 328 yds. MPBR plus 100 yard zero equals 428 yard far zero. So the fact i was shooting 528 yards, the bullet only dropped 6-8 inches past MPBR. When I get a chance to engage farther targets and get more DOPE then I guess I will...

    Rifle Scopes Barrett M99 with PST 6-24x50 help!!

    86 degrees, 3000 ft., desert humidity. 6 ft. down hill to target, almost zero wind. I dont have a chrono, but I have shot 660 grain American Eagle and 750 gr. AMAX and both have very similar POI. This is a 32" barrel... I do know you get 2 zeros, thats where "MPBR" comes from. The data I found...

    Rifle Scopes Barrett M99 with PST 6-24x50 help!!

    Ok, im confused here. I was able to get a 100yd zero without issue. Problem is my POI is a few inches HIGHER at 200yds!? WTF? All the data I can find even on Barrett's site say that a 100yd zero should give a "-" (negative) elevation thereafter. In fact I GPS'd a target out doors at .30 MILES...

    Rifle Scopes Barrett M99 with PST 6-24x50 help!!

    See there is my ignorance. I thought a 100 yd zero was out of the question due to the fact that 50 BMG ballistics look more like an ICBM flight path than a bullet! LOL I zero all my non-magnified rifles and iron sights for "MPBR" and magnified at 100 yds. I found with my 7.62 NATO rifle (20"...

    Rifle Scopes Barrett M99 with PST 6-24x50 help!!

    Ok guys just mounted up my new Barrett M99 with a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP. The Barrett comes with a 27 MOA sight base. Im using Nightforce Ultralight zero offset rings, so total of just the 27 MOA. I have Hornady AMAX 750 grainers and want to try for hits beyond 1000 yards. What zero do you...

    Rifle Scopes Barrett M99 on the way!

    I ended up deciding to go the NF Ultra Light route since this setup will end up on my Mk12 SPR or M110 clones. Ill keep looking at the throw levers in the mean time...
