    Vertical Grip Questions

    Re: Vertical Grip Questions Sterling, thanks for the feedback. I had put guns to the side in 1988 and got hooked on archery. I shot competitively for a few years then was sent to Florida for work. I decided to buy a rifle and started shooting on the weekends at the Manatee gun club. There I...

    Vertical Grip Questions

    Re: Vertical Grip Questions Redmanss, "I still lay my rifle in the V of my non-firing thumb and hand, close to the slip ring." Is the plam of the non firing hand facing more or less away from the shooter, somewhat like the hold of a pool que?

    Vertical Grip Questions

    Re: Vertical Grip Questions Thanks Luke. Some good pointers in that article. I've seen guys at the range shoot with that high hold form, but have never tried it. Shooting the 223, shouldn't be a problem with recoil, but the 308 will. I'll have to read through it again and see what I can...

    Vertical Grip Questions

    I'm trying to improve my offhand shooting. I used to shoot archery which of course has a vertical grip. I could hold the bow perfectly still to release the shot. My offhand shooting with my AR however is not so stable. I can keep it inside 6 inches at 50 yards but I wander quite a bit. I'm...

    POF questions

    Re: POF questions Well, I hit the range with the POF yesterday, and I screwed up big time. I had two boxes of cheap PMC 150 grain, Federal 168 grain match and for the hell of it some of my hunting loads. All was well, the PMC grouped inside1" at 100 yards. The Federal inside 1.5". Then I ran...

    Re: POF questions Reloading is great. It doesn't save me any money because I end up shooting more, a lot more!

    POF questions

    Re: POF questions ggmanning: yes those Bergers will shoot. I've tried them in my 556. The trouble I had with them was the mag length. With the 1 in 7 barrel, I was using 70 and 80 grain VLDs and they were seated really deep. They were still accurate thought. Heck the 80s were seated so deep...

    POF questions

    Re: POF questions Thanks Kino, that is good info. 2550 is plenty. At 2.8 OAL how far are you off the lands? I was looking at one of my hunting loads (150 Gr Barnes TTX) which I load .050 off in my deer rifle, and had plenty of room in the magazine. Also, in a semi-auto, what is the best way...

    New POF P308 16.5"

    Re: New POF P308 16.5" I broke the rifle down this evening and found the rattle is coming from the buffer tube.I'll check it out before the range session . Also the barrel nut isn't contacting the fore end. There is clearance all the way down. I don't think it will be an issue. I checked the...

    New POF P308 16.5"

    Re: New POF 16.5" You're both right about the scratches, QC I thought, shoud be done by the manufacturer not the customer. Maybe I've got the concept wrong. I'll give them a call. (I still want to see how it shoots though, can't resist) I'll look to see if I can see those set screws from the...

    New POF P308 16.5"

    Re: New POF 16.5" Killshot, I want to see how it shoots first. If it's a tac driver I really don't want them touching it. You make a great point tho. I'm the same way. If the scratches were through the coating, it would already be on it's way back, but I can't be blamed for these scratches...

    New POF P308 16.5"

    Picked up my new POF P308 yesterday and gave it the once over. It seemed lighter than I thought it would be. A little front end heavy even with the scope mounted, but not extreme. I grade it as follows: Fit and finish: 7.5. The receiver had two scratches which were deep enough to be visable...
