If one is tuning up the load, and testing it at the range wouldn't they also be tuning up, as the shooter, given that they are shooting more?
Yes and no. Yes if your shooting from a bench while you hunt, No if your shooting from the ground off a bipod, sitting, kneeling, or offhand which are...
Shooting past the 500 yard mark puts the shooter in the moa bracket not the rifle. Meaning a half moa rifle will quickly become a 3 moa rifle if the guy behind it isn't up to the task. Just my opinion.
The match went well, new partner with invalid dope aside. Great course of fire with several different scenarios. We actually got to shoot at targets from a uni-mog while driving down the road, Quite humbling but fun. Elevation was 7000 feet with altitude density hovering around 9000. The 308 I...
Applied ballistics kestrel 4500. This will give you current dope to a changing environment. I have had one for almost a year and it does give accurate assessments, so much so that I only use my oehler chronograph to give me my standard deviation.
I got into a 308/300 win only team sniper comp up in Ennis mt. Had a chance to shoot against some military teams in a steel comp environment and thanks to a good friend was able to get a hold of a nice 308. Surgeon 591, Bartlein barrel accuracy international ax chassis and my premier and spuhr...
Steiner glass is on par with the best of the mid range optics IE nightforce nxs, leupold mark 6, vortex razor, US optics, etc. I would look at the msr reticle if I were buying a steiner. It may look a bit busy initially but once you acclimate to it you will like it better than a standard mil -...
Stillwater tactical will be holding a 3 day team challenge involving pistol, carbine, and precision rifle. First time shooting it this year but have heard from several people it is a top notch match. Gooogle stillwater tactical team challenge and that will bring up the web page and all the...
Those guys are animals! Would love to see the price tag on a olympic level rifle like that. The anschutz fortner is about $4k new, but i would imagine there is about 2k more involved from stock form.
Bartlein, krieger, benchmark, obermyer, and so on all make top tier barells. Doesnt matter what reciever your putting it on because the smith will cut threads to mate it. You will want to get a 1-8" twist on whatever barrel you decide on.
Sorry i missed this until now?! The winter match was in mid december and shot in -17° weather, some people went home early. The applied ballistics kestrel was making accurate dope out to 1250 yards that day. It was cold enough to see the trace almost instantly. As far as next year goes the buddy...
I had a chance to get the premier out today " it has been windy and i have had pnuemonia for the past week". The schmidt and premier are both similar in weight and length. That being said I will get more to what i like and dislike about both of them.
Clarity, both have top notch clarity, i...
