    Cold Bore Shots, POI Shifts, and Canted Scopes

    How far is far enough to get good data? I worry that the further I’m shooting, the larger the group size which in turn could make my observations less precise. Can I use data for my 223 at 400 yards? 600 yards? Or does it need to be 800 yards and beyond? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Choosing my first Tikka and looking for advice

    I zeroed right before shooting at 400, so I didn't think it was high. But if something is off, that's a good idea for a place to start. My only other guess is that maybe my front rest threw off the results. But I used the same front rest (sand bag) for the 100 and 400 yard shots. So unless I...

    I’m definitely planning on using the 79 this year. I posted a 10 round group out of my AR above.

    Choosing my first Tikka and looking for advice

    i agree it seems odd, but I sent a lot of rounds at 410 at they consistently needed 1.9 mils of correction. Do you know what else could cause them to hit high?

    Factory 73 ELDM. But I haven’t chrono-ed it. I just trued it using my 400 yard correction last time at the range. There’s definitely a chance I did something wrong.

    Choosing my first Tikka and looking for advice

    I’m glad that’s the way you see it. I’ll shoot what I shoot best (223). Me being new to hunting, some of the social mores that come with it can be hard to navigate.

    Choosing my first Tikka and looking for advice

    That's good to hear, but I suspect you're a more experienced shooter than I am. My dad has a suppressed 6.5 prc and I can't spot impacts with it.

    It has a heavier barrel but is still 20". I want to increase the potential of spotting shots if I go with the 6.5 cm.

    4-Day Backpack Gear List - any advice on cutting weight?

    Wow. Just double checked and it is about half a pound lighter than the BA. Regardless, I’ll probably stick with the Tiger Wall until I need to replace it.

    4-Day Backpack Gear List - any advice on cutting weight?

    Good tips on saving battery. BUIS will definitely go. Thanks for the tips that don't require buying new gear. It's tough to calculate how much to spend per ounces of weight savings. Could I buy a platypus and save 5 oz in weight? Of course. But why not save that $50 and spend it on gas to go...
