    Scope Leveling; Instruction that ran counter to everything I thought I knew

    A lot of the "mathematical" protests in here sound oddly similar people who think a higher height over bore means the effects of canting your rifle are magnified in any appreciable way. I'm not advocating for doing it this way, because of the stuff Form mentioned about how different...

    Gear hits and misses

    Hits: RRS TFCT-34L w/ Anvil head, and Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 Miss: Sig Kilo6K rangefinding binos When I do finally get rangefinding binos again they have to have top tier glass or I won't use them. I put off getting a tripod I could shoot off of for years and now that I have one I use it...

    Scope Leveling; Instruction that ran counter to everything I thought I knew

    Sounds like Rifles Only. They do a LOT of teaching military guys and have for decades.

    Scope Leveling; Instruction that ran counter to everything I thought I knew

    I don't think it's a personal thing. Your perception of the military and its snipers just seems like it's been shaped by Hollywood rather than reality. For purely long range shooting skill, not anything else that snipers do, I'd take a top 30% PRS/NRL Hunter competitor over 99% of US military...

    3x9x42 Nightforce SHV vs Tract Toric 2.5x15x44

    If you're worrying about it to that extent (not saying it isn't justified) you won't feel better until you get a NF. I took one of my Razor 6-36's on a pronghorn hunt a couple weeks ago and couldn't help worrying a bit too. Same deal when I took a Vortex LHT on my coues hunt last year. I got...

    Rifle scopes you'd love to see Form test

    Kahles 328i or really any higher end Kahles would be interesting. They've got the freakish FOV of the 328i and will be releasing another scope with freakish FOV after shot show. Rumors indicate it's higher magnification.

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    Not me but this guy uploaded a video today shooting a 6x6 elk at 862 yards with his 6CM. Looks like he was using a tripod as his main support too. Timestamp about 21:24 for the shot.

    Gear purchase discussion

    I keep upgrading until I hit near the top and really trust it. So my binos are EL 10x50s not NL's but I don't have any desire to upgrade now since I've done a number of hunts with the ELs and love them. Same if a new RRS tripod came out. It wouldn't catch my attention much since my TFCT-34L w/...

    What has changed?

    One hypothesis I've heard is that when bump stocks got unbanned, the people at the ATF whose jobs were processing bump stock registrations got redirected to suppressor approvals. But I have no idea if that's true.

    Hunting with supressor vs brake

    Honestly for an antelope hunt I think the only annoyance may be transport in the vehicle if he wants to keep it in the cab. And then how much time he spends in that vehicle. But it shouldn't really be an issue.

    What should I know for long range match?

    I'm unsure what bipod you're using but if you're using an RRS SC-ARC clamp to attach it to ARCA rails, KRG's ARCA still now has R-Lock holes in it which is great. Had my bipod almost walk off the rifle on their old ARCA spigot mount which was annoying. Just ordered their new version with the...

    What should I know for long range match?

    That's awesome man. My father's main rifle is a Tikka CTR in 6.5CM and he loves it. It's a great basis for an NRL Hunter build (though the stock is probably the weak point). Phillip Velayo did a Youtube series a few years ago where he turned a Tikka CTR into (I think) a PRS rifle via a bunch of...

    How do you choose a custom rifle builder?

    I'm not saying it's on par with who you're referencing but Chad at LRI does have some experience working with partners on wood stocks. And what he does is not really screwing stuff together when it comes to inletting. LRI's inlet methods have been cutting edge for awhile...

    Why Attend a Long-Range Shooting Course?

    Kind of, Bangsteel. It's more of a "bring whatever rifle you have and I'll show you that you can shoot long range with it" sort of deal. I will be taking a LR class at Coleman's Creek in the spring though probably. I've heard very good things about them. I want to attend a more formal class with...

    Sold RRS Vyce Mount (barely used)

    I am selling a barely-used RRS Vyce mount. It's their mounting solution for rifles that don't have ARCA rails to clamp into tripods. It has been to the range one time and otherwise has never been used. All of my rifles have full length rails so I'm selling it. I can take payment via Paypal (not...

    You can always just clean the suppressor out.

    S&B 3-12x42 Klassik for hunting

    Personally I'd use a sun shade on basically any optic you bring. Hell, I have a Tangent Theta on the way and will still use a sun shade on it for hunting.

    S&B 3-12x42 Klassik for hunting

    I leave the sun shades on my optics 24/7 since there's no optical downside to it. Sure it looks kind of funny on some scopes but that's really the only downside. I believe this sun shade below (available other places in stock I assume) is the one that fits the 3-12x42 Klassik...

    S&B 3-12x42 Klassik for hunting

    Regarding the price decrease I went and found the post. No more timeline information in the thread, only the "limited time" of the first post.

    S&B 3-12x42 Klassik for hunting

    Schmidt is reducing their prices across the board at least for the near future. EuroOptic made a post about it somewhere else I think. Probably finally realizing they've priced themselves out of the market in the US for a lot of stuff.
