    How Come no Semi Auto LR Rifles

    Did anybody mention that to get an autoloader to shoot like a bolt action it's going to be much more expensive?

    Extreme long range training

    There are a few folks, not many, who you can ask for extreme long range (1,000 yards plus) training, mostly out west (Texas, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico) where the land supports that kind of shooting. There are others in the Dakotas, Wyoming, and Montana. Favored calibers seem to be the 338...

    Civilian use of Military Ranges

    Jeff, if you have jumped all hoops within the Army and DOD system you should send your request directly to your two United States Senators and your US Congressman. Each will send an inquiry to the Army which requires a reply. Title 10 says access must be given to civilian clubs unless it...

    resetable windage/elevation target knobs with positive stop?

    I finally found the Brownell's catalog update insert I've been rooting around for. I thought it was the Nightforce Zero stop, but it's the D&L Sports "Speed Turret" knobs for retro-fit. NXS Long Range and Leupold Target knobs give four complete revs, and the NXS Medium Range gives two full...

    Kowa Highlander

    We use them on the Army Marksmanship unit Service Rifle and Long Range teams. We use both the 24X and 32X eyepieces. At 1,000 yards you don't just see mirgae, but you see layers of mirgae above the ground. The Prominar lenses give the best picture.

    Is 16X REALLY the max usable magnification?

    I spoke with a gentleman who extensivley shoots and tests long range ammo and rifles at the Boulder City range outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. They often shoot early in the evening through late night hours (lit targets and no neighbors to bitch about noise) so they crank the Nightforce NXS scopes...

    resetable windage/elevation target knobs with positive stop?

    Try the Nightforce Zero Stop or the Kenton Zero Stop (for Leupolds) for elevation. Brownell's just started carrying them.

    bedding scope base?

    Re: bedding scope base If it's a stock 700 you should also check the scope mount holes to make sure they are indeed true and parallel to bore line. I have one that had all four holes off, causing the rail to point the front of a Leupold M1-16X off towards 1 o'clock. Had to TIG-weld the holes...
