    I took a few photos while my brother and I were shooting at 1000 yard steel last week. The weather was cold but we heated up the barrels on our rifles !! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    SWFA tactical scopes. Any experience with these?

    Straight 10x. 30mm tube, 42 mm objective. I've read some positive reviews so I ordered one today. I figured I'd take a chance for $300. I only own Leupolds and Swarovskis so this SWFA will be like a Kia at an Audi dealership. Has anyone used one of these themselves? Sent from my iPad...

    Accubond 6.5 140 group from last week.

    5- shot group at 200 yds from my Tikka T3 Forest in .260 Rem. It loves the Accubonds as well as 142 SMKs, and 123 Amax. It's hard to beat a Tikka for the money. All I've done to this rifle is install pillars and bed the action. It has a great factory trigger set as light as it will go. This...

    Working on a .243 Win

    I just put together a Rem 700 BDL .243 Win. I dropped it into an HS Precision tan and black stock, bedded the action and recoil lug, and worked on the trigger. I topped it with a Leupold VX-2 6x18 CDS w/ wind plex reticle. I've got numerous powders and brass on hand but I only had a box of...

    Savage 220 20 ga slug "rifle"

    Very windy here today but the Savage bolt gun still grouped pretty good at 100 yds. It's printed smaller groups but in much better conditions. However, today's conditions are more realistic to Midwest hunting elements. I shot 4.5" groups at 250 yds 3 weeks ago verifying the Leupold Ultimate...

    Short shooting session with .308

    I shot this group early this morning at my home range. This Rem 700 is really sensitive in that it requires a fouled barrel to shoot well. My last range trip was to a 500 yd range where my brother and I put dozens of rounds through our rifles. Of course, I cleaned the barrel after that...

    New project: another. 308 Win

    Best group after first time at the range. All 3 shot groups were sub 3/4 moa but this was the best one. HS Precision stock, X mark trigger, 6x18x40 AO. CDL w/ wind plex Leupold VX2. Devcon bedded recoil lug. I look forward to playing around with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tikka T3 Forest .260 Rem.

    Shot some groups at 100 yds today. I pillar bedded this rifle last week and I think it will be a consistent shooter over time now. This rifle likes a lot of different loads and it printed these two groups today. Different bullets, weights, powders, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Kimber Long Master Classic .308 Win

    Got a new rifle. I've put 12 rounds thru it. These are the first groups. I'm hopeful I can tighten them up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    160 gr Sierra GK HP in 7mm-08

    I shot a few guns at my range today to test some new loads. I was pleased with the 3 shot groups I got with my Tikka T3 7mm-08. 2 through same hole and one above which may have been me. Other group with 2/10 gr less powder was 0.662". I tinker some more. I love this stuff !! Sent from my...

    Over pressure with factory ammo

    I just picked up a Rem 700 CDL stainless/ fluted Ltd. in 260 Rem. (man. 2008). I bore sighted the scope and used Fed Prem 120 gr Ballistic Tip factory ammo to get a 100 yd zero. I got sticky bolt lift and shinny ejector moons on the bottom of the cases. This same ammo shows no pressure...

    Range day: Hot but successful

    I shot three rifles today at my home range: (1) Brand new first time to shoot Tikka T3 Forest .260 Rem. (2) Tikka T3 s/s fluted/camo .308 Win. and (3) Browning X Bolt Stainless Hunter .308 Win. The .260 Rem shot well after about 15 rounds with cleaning after every 3 shot group. Careful...

    Suggestions for .308 Win load

    I just purchased a Browning X Bolt Stainless Hunter in .308 Win. I topped it with a Leupold 4.5x14x40 VX-3 w/ 30mm tube and varmint reticle. I've attempted to work up a few loads for it after a 50 round break in. The only powder that I have for a 308 recipe is IMR 4320. I have Hornady Match...

    Rem 700 CDL SF in 30-06

    Anyone have a CDL SF? How's the quality and how easy was it to get it shooting tight groups? I love the looks and style of these stainless/ fluted heavier contoured barrels sitting in the dark walnut sporter stocks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bolt action slug rifle

    Here's my Savage 220 F 20 ga. slug gun/ rifle. This gun evolved into what you see in the picture. It came with a plastic black stock that was horrible. It was so weak and flexible that I couldn't even epoxy/ bed the recoil lug without it blowing out after a few shots. The best groups that I...

    Load development at new 100 Yd Home range

    I built a new 100 yd range in my back yard conveniently locating my bench/ table under a white oak shade tree. I shot 3 guns today to try a few new loads I worked on until 2:45 am this morning. The guns I shot today were: Tikka T3 s/s camo 7mm-08 topped with a Sworovski Z3 3.5-10. Tikka T3...

    First 4 shots with new Tikka T3 .308 win

    I shot my Tikka T3 SS/camo fluted barrel in .308 win today. The range at my house is 150 yds. I bore sighted the rifle and the first round hit left of the bullseye. I made scope adjustments and fired a 3 shot group. One ragged hole! Shooting Winchester 150 gr factory loads. 0.39" at 150...
