Sorry guys. I haven't been active in the sport. That's all gonna change starting now. I've been out too long and I missed you guys in here. This is my favorite forum on the web.
Thanks guys. It's nice to be back out in the field glassing, climbing hills and be with nature. I shot the buck at around 225-226 lasered yards. I was testing the effectiveness of the 175 grain Barnes LRX BT for hunting. My model 70 like this round better than my old standby, the 180 grain TTSX...
Well, believe it or not guys I'm still hunting and shooting although not as much as I used to since I got into cycling. That's the reason why I haven't been active in this forum for quite sometime. All that probably will change starting next year. I will ease up on my cycling and hunt and shoot...
I do need to go to some of this comp.and see how they do it. I've never been to one so I don't know what to expect. Thanks for the info Joel.
When is the National in Coalinga. If you go let me know. I don't mind going just to watch.
This guy won an IBS National using his Midway rest? I'm not sure yet if I will use a pedestal rest or a bipod. I guess I have to go to couple of this comp and see where I'm at and then invest on proper equipment.

Word from Jeff Cochran...
I'll check on the Santa Margarita Gun Club schedule. It's still quite drive for me I need practice though. I haven't shoot in years.
Just bought the rifle. I haven't even got it yet. It's being shipped as we speak. I'll see how it shoots. As far as front rest, I have to do my research. SEB is...
This is the first time loading the 300 Grain Berger Hybrid OTM for my 338 Lapua Ackley. I haven't used nothing but SMK for this rifle so I don't know what to expect. I run the data through my Ballistic program and to my surprised the 300 grain SMK has a bit better performance downrange than the...
I have fun equipping this rifle. I added vertical fore end grip and a tactical flashlight. Got me some 30 round Magpul mag. Illegal as heck in California but this rifle will be move to Nevada. I'm going to replace the stupid magazine release too.
It comes with 2 barrel. A Kreiger 6 grove 8 twist chambered for the Dasher and a Bartlein 5R in 6 BR. I'm planning on getting a Nightforce Competition for it.
Rifle spec:
Action: Stiller P1000 RBLPRE
Stock: Macmillan MBR
Trigger: 2 ounce Timney
Brake: Harrel Radial Brake
Well Bud, I know the rifle will shoot. I'm used to high power scope and a 16 lbs rifle with less than a pound trigger pull. So shooting this 6 lbs rifle with 6.5lb trigger and a 6X scope making one hole 3 shot group got me so fired up. I know it's only 50 yards but it might as well 500 yards...
Well guys, I went to the range this afternoon braving the cold at 48 deg F ( that's right, it's cold for us Cali boys)and a 15 mph wind, to zero the AR. I didn't expect much. I have a box of 20 Hornady 55 grain Z-max that I thought I could waste to zero the rifle.
I set up the target at 50...
LOL, you're right DrMike. I'm in unfamiliar territory here. I need every help I can get. It's 5.56/223
Hey buddy,
I need to know what's the best bullet/powder combination for this BEAST. It has 16"-7 twist barrel. The rifle will be use for home security and occasional coyote buster. What's...
