I agree that its not real to think there is a real difference in cycling a short action vs long action, I have shot and still do shoot Highpower across the course which has two parts of the match which are rapid fire and have always shot a bolt gun partially because I think it's fun to run a...

I'm sure there are other loads but 41.5 gr 4895 and a 168 always worked in an M1-A and if it doesn't work well in a bolt gun there is something wrong with the rifle. I think for anyone who wants to learn to shoot long range the 308 might be the best choice as you should get 5000 rnds out of a...

adjustable lop and cheek are something I have decided I am going to have in a stock, I am a stock crawler in the prone position if I adjust the scope far enough forward to keep it from hitting my eye ,it is too far away standing and if you are shooting prone uphill that can decrease the distance...

I saw the ladder test in a High Power information book and it was developed by a very good highpower shooter 40 plus years ago, its not a new idea and he stated it needed to be done at 300 or more yards. I think 3 shot groups could show you a bad load but they might not but are totally worthless...

I put together a 30-284 also and wanted the cartridge because I like ruger precision rifles a bunch and wanted to hunt with one although they are a little heavy. Mine gave me fits and I also thought it was a mistake untill I started neck sizing I think the lee dies sized the dimension at the...

It's a large country with a lot of people who don't know or like guns and they influence our rights whether we like it or not and the people who don't like guns will accept them much more readily for a purpose like hunting

with the conspiracy put of my brain working one wonders if stopping hound hunting, which is the only way to kill cats and bears,and introducing wolves maybe they could discourage hunting and without the hunters backing the second ammendment the anti- gun people would win

I was on a horse hunting trip for elk in the middle of Idaho and we came back to the tent at noon on the first day to dry out so we had a fire going and I looked over my buddy's shoulder and said, look buck a bobcat, but it wasn't a bobcat it was a cougar with just the top half of his head...

I would agree with you and if you can get a rear bag and front support each time you shoot at game then practice the same way you are practicing in field position, however if you head for a concrete bench with a rest up front and sand bag in the back unless you are very tough and can carry all...

There is only 2 uses for 3 shot groups the first is for compairing your rifle to the other guy in these forums or for identifying a poor load. We shoot 20 shots for record in a match so if a person has a rifle that will do 1/2 min for 20 shots he has a dandy and I haven't seen very many that...

I have a conquest that sounds just like the model you are describing and have been using it for 3 years for Highpower where we nadjust the scope for 200,300,and 600 yds plus windage so in an average match we adjust probably 10 times x2 to 3 matches a month and haven't had any problems plus the...

will you take $100 and if so how do we do that

I'm sorry you had that on the first post, follower and spring and mag box?

how much do you want

There is a lot of thinking involved with long range, where is the good indicators ,is it going to speed up or slow down or the dreaded switch. last weekend for one of my shots at 600 with my garand I watched the mirage in my scope and decided where to fix my sights then went to shoot my rifle...
