Fieldcraft Krieger_tactics: LONG RANGE PRECISION MARKSMANSHIP - Part 3 HOLDING FROM 100 TO 1000 YARDS
- Thread starter Krieger_Tactics
- Start date
It's a long horse ride from Colorado to Georgia...
I personally can’t wait for the next thread of knowledge from Krieger. You can’t run from this guy. He has some great experience in his bio.
This whole series reminds me of that guy who was the sergeant of a rapid deploy security force at one of the largest malls in America.
Is that the guy with the wheel barrow and steel plates inside a briefcase that he will hold up for when he gets shot at?
My entire career is due to that guy.
I believe the strategy was for him to "catch the rounds" with the briefcase while his wife assembles her 18" NEF in 300wm for the long shots.
Fuck the status quo. Gecko was an innovator.
Yes sir, also duct taping plates to his back under his vest for added protection to take multiple rounds from a 30-06. Dude is fucking epic!
One can only hope to some day be as accomplished and squared away as is the OP at his chosen craft.
What if you zero your variable power second focal plane scope at its highest magnification on top point 0 than dial down 1/2 your elevation?
We are both wrong it’s 308 for the duct taped plate.
hello friends,
Last year I made the decision to trust
my life on the street to Second Chance body
armor. I got the level IIa because it stops
the most rounds. plus I got the Trauma Plate
for the front.
What scares me is that, although I can fit an extra trauma plate in the front, I cannot fit a second one in back. As of late I have taken to duct-taping a second trauma plate to the area of my back where the heart and vital organs are located. Then I put my vest on.
Here is the questions. The ducttape "solution, although tactically sound, is hot and painful to remove. I would like to go
to the single-plate solution in back. What I am worried about is repeated hits to that area with .308 ammunition. I have a high-risk security job and I fear that I would be the target for repeated long-distance shots to my back.
Are any of you aware of a thicker plate that could stop, say, .338 Lapua or something like that? Is there a better way to do the second plate?
BTW, I am, of course, usually carrying a pair of ceramic plates in my briefcase so that I can shield my head. My SO (we work as a team when necessary) has a similar accessory containing a breakdown NEF single-shot 300 WinMag with an 18" bbl. The plan is that I shield us with my body and "catch the rounds" while she assembles the NEF. I lay down covering fire with my 23 (Bar-Sto .357 Sig barrel) and she makes the long shots. I will then throw smoke grenades to obscure the area while continuing to lay covering fire. The problem, of course, is when I have to turn my back to run, and then the problem crops up.
Thanks!
I have a question.
On the cover of this book it looks like the butt pad is on upside down.
Could you explain why?
It does look that way, we could ask Frank why he likes it that way. @lowlightI have a question.

Accuracy International AT-X
According to the label on the bag I got it’s not installed. Course I really have to way to test other than swap them. Mine came from MHS Mine also says “light spring” on the label. As well as the new comp trigger I got for my AX but the manual that comes with it says it already has the light...

Yes sir, quick search reveals it fits the shoulder pocket better. I have not had the pleasure of shooting an AI.
Perhaps. Or perhaps when incorrect information is placed submitted I think it is only fitting that correct information is then supplied for the benefit of those reading the posts.
The incorrect information that was submitted was that the utlization of all of the vertical crosshairs and subsequent elevation was relegated to the time when Unertly and Leupold ruled. That's untrue. This same technique is applicable to the use of today's modern reticle systems.
It's important to me that this mistake was corrected.

Whether I agree with your point or not, I respect you for your having pointed out that you think things should be done a certain way.
MISSION
My mission on this forum is to provide basic information to marksmen with very little knowledge or experience in long range precision marksmanship, utilizing the MIL dot reticle to those who are looking for it.
If this series reached only one person with the information provided... I would consider my efforts a success.
According to the poll, this series has reached more than one person with the information that has been provided.
This is 100% success.

Lol. Take it however you want. Your reheated-in-the-microwave-past-the-sell-date, 1980s, sniper manual posts don't belong here. They DO belong at firearmstalk.com where everyone will be terribly impressed with your call sign and the breadth of your knowledge.
Instead of actually participating and sharing this vast knowledge, you try to kick down the door with...,whatever you want to call these posts, and then seem to demand we sit as students at your feet and ask poignant questions of the master. If the content wasn't so remedial and honestly, taken from old field manuals rather than anything the slightest bit innovative, it might work instead of creating barrels full of scorn.
You're like a salesman who literally can't hear the word "no". They tend to actually do pretty well, because they'll just wear you down till the price of what you're selling becomes worth it just to make you go away. However, also like that salesman, you don't get rattled, keep your cool, and don't get terribly angry, which makes your utility as a source of amusement limited.
Hello Fig,
I appreciate your having taken the time to respond. I respect your thoughts and your concise statements. I would like to look at a few points that you mentioned.
DON'T BELONG HERE
There are members of this forum that are looking for the information that's been posted in this series. While I admit that there is a very high level of skilled marksmen here, I must also point out that some members here are less skilled. It is those members of the forum that I am attempting to reach.
KICK DOWN THE DOOR
It wasn't my intent to kick down the door. If I've left that impression, I regret that. I will have to possibly relook my approach.
DEMAND
It is not my intent to come off as "demanding that the members of this forum sit as students at my feet and ask poignant questions of the master."
Again, if I've left that impression, I regret that as well.
My intent was to reach out to a very select group of personnel who had a very basic understanding of marksmanship, and very little practical or tactical experience and to assist them in developing their skills.
Again, I appreciate your having provided this feedback. It is valuable. The goal is to educate those who've not had the opportunity to become the marksman that they desire, not to get on people's nerves.

Just one... But it's actually reached many... for which I am even more the grateful
-Krieger
In theory you could. If you set your point of aim, point of impact at either the center cross hair or at the top of the reticle you could then, theoretically engage targets at known distances and then sketch the approximate "holds" required to engage a target at each subsequent yardline. This would be... difficult to duplicate, however could be done. You could also just dial on your elevation with the corresponding corrections (+1, +2 etc.) which I will be discussing in a later post.
Short answer... yes you could.
Thank you for your contribution,
Respectfully,
-Krieger
I have a question.
On the cover of this book it looks like the butt pad is on upside down.
Could you explain why?
Perhaps the picture of the gun is upside down and the buttplate is right side up... Perspective?

Hello Im2bent!
Flinched? Nope... Not one bit. Thank you for being ok in your book... You're ok in my book too! 1994? That's ten years before I bought mine... It's a fine manual for sure!
(btw... from the diminishing laughing faces and off comments it appears that the lions are growing weary of playing with their favorite chew toy - yours truly... Soon we might only have replies from those with sincere questions, comments and suggestions... How ever will I entertain myself without the colorful memes, and comments. :_-_(
-Krieger
Haha, yeah it expired in 1920 probably. All jokes aside, I think the TMR is a nice step up from the midot and closer to the modern reticles available. It's pretty bananas if you realize how complex reticle have become actually. It's all a matter of preference.
