Simple enough. Looking for someone to shoot team matches with - Ragnarok Sniper Challenge, Snipers Unknown Challenge, Guardian, Real World Sniper, maybe Mammoth....

I'm based in South Carolina so ideally would partner with someone in a nearby place so we could practice once in a while. I've been doing this for a few years now and do decent when I bring my A game. I can shoot secondary or primary.

Holler at me if you're interested. I do want to be competitive but also want to have a good time.

Hi, I recently picked up a bushnell nitro ultralite. I was going to input my data ie. twist rate etc. however apparently it requires AB upgrades. Although I own the AB app.

I’m not sure which upgrade would I even need? I’m doing .22lr prs and wanted the convenience of the holds showing up on the lrf.

There’s the sportsman and elite upgrade.

Any help would be much appreciated thanks.

Solus came in after the sale they just had, added a few things and it’s almost ready to go. Still deciding on a brake for it.

Turned out really nice, looking forward to taking it out for the first time.

I am looking to build/buy my first rifle with the intentions of building up seat time and ability to stretch my effective range. What is the best platform to start on? (Budget is $2500 w/ glass)

My thoughts start at a “recce” or “spr” type AR-15 build. BUT if you’re gonna build an AR-15 you might as well just build an AR-10. BUT if you’re gonna build an AR-10 you might as well just build a bolt action.

I know alot of this comes down to preference but I am open to all options and would like to know what you started on and why its by best option or something to stay away from.

TIA

Hey everyone,

My dad is getting started on a new build and I’m pretty stoked for him. He needs a blank to be chambered and finished. Unfortunately everything I’ve put together has been with prefits, so unfortunately I can’t give him any advice on who to send it out to. He currently has the action and barrel blank and the rest of the build is on order. Lead time isn’t a big worry. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

Build list as he’s envisioning it now:

Zermatt TL3 action

28” Bartlein MTU in 6.5CM (currently contoured and needs to be finished)

Foundation Samson stock

Rings/mount and glass are TBD

Edit: to add, we’re located in CA but happy to send out of state.

Howdy dudes, first foray into Long Range/caring about precision.

Is this little of clearance anything to be concerned about?

The pinned post is due for an update. The goal of that post is to help orient new shooters and new people to this sub, give some good guidelines on rules and expectations, and a list to the various guides or other posts we think are useful to the community.

So here's your chance to provide suggestions on how to make it better. I'm going to start writing and reorganizing it and will incorporate any input I think is worthwhile.

Anyone have a good load chart for 338 NM? I’m looking at starting with 250 grain accubonds out of lapua brass but don’t really know what powder or primers to pick.

Hi Y'all
Aero Precision Solus, 6.5 CM, Proof Research 26" stainless steel barrel 1:8 twist, H4350, Hornady brass, Winchester large rifle primer

Today’s test involved varying the powder charge from 39.2 grains to 39.8 grains in 0.2 grain increments, and creating two groups with seating depths of OAL 2.876" and 2.873". (Hornady Factory ELD-M 140gr has an OAL of 2.810" and I check my rifle barrel's depth with Hornady OAL gauge).

Results:

1. 39.2 Grains OAL 2.876" 10-shot group - GS 1.183 MOA ES 27 SD 9.6 Avg 2643 -> Many flyers observed in the cold bore.
2. 39.2 Grains OAL 2.873" 10-shot group - GS 0.818 MOA ES 20 SD 6.4 Avg 2656 -> Tightest group among the 10-shot groups.
3. 39.4 Grains OAL 2.876" 10-shot group - GS 0.917 MOA ES 20 SD 5.7 Avg 2668
4. 39.4 Grains OAL 2.873" 10-shot group - GS 0.904 MOA ES 22 SD 7.2 Avg 2663

Starting from this point, I split into two 5-shot groups:

5. 39.6 Grains OAL 2.876" 5-shot groups - GS1 0.863 MOA GS2 0.491 MOA ES 37 SD 12.6 Avg 2687

6. 39.6 Grains OAL 2.873" 5-shot groups - GS1 0.526 MOA GS2 0.644 MOA ES 33 SD 10 Avg 2689 -> Tightest average among the 5-shot groups.

7. 39.8 Grains OAL 2.876" 5-shot groups - GS1 0.942 MOA GS2 0.806 MOA ES 24 SD 8.6 Avg 2699

8. 39.8 Grains OAL 2.873" 5-shot groups - GS1 0.919 MOA GS2 0.576 MOA ES 32 SD 10.4 Avg 2696

Summary:

The 2.873" OAL groups generally show smaller group sizes.

39.2 Grains seems optimal for this setup. 39.6 Grains is also worth trying again in the future.

The velocity for 39.2 Grains OAL 2.873" is also considered very good.

But How I achieve to Half MOA then?

One of my friend, gave me an advice that reduce the powder down to 2600 - 2700.

What you guys idea?

Soon to be a 6mm creed.

So, seems most common practice is to set your rifle level then align your reticle to a plumb line (or wedges, bubble level on the scope basically trying to achieve the same thing.

But I came across a few posts arguing that there are potential for errors and for those errors to stack up when trying to level a rifle and scope. So it’s advocated that you should align the vertical crosshair through the bore centreline and through the centre of the objective lens, made simple with a mirror. Then plumb the reticle with a plumb line and affix a scope tube level. The rifle may need to be held canted but the crosshair and bore will be stacked.

The second one seems to make logical sense but I haven’t really seen it talked about all that much. Am I overthinking which one to use?

Had the thought of using co2 to aide in barrel cooling, by running it through the barrel using an old remote Line that I can vary the flow like those used for paintba/airsoft.

Are there any issues/dangers I might create in doing this vs an air pump ? As I'm finding my Magnetospeed barrel fan is far to noisy/annoying to use on the firing point.

I’m trying to pick up the cheapest possible bolt 22 that’s worth a damn. This thing is $260. Obviously Something like the CZ or the RPR is better. But Im just trying to practice on it. Will I really see that much more benefit from those two guns? I’m open to suggestions but I’m having a hard time conniving myself to spend more than the B22 FV-SR for somebody who is just getting started.

Yes I know savage is junk in general. But so am I so learning on it seems like a low cost way to get into shooting
