I'm selling a brand new Sitka Stormfront Jacket (retails for $599. Sitka Gear | Turning Clothing Into Gear) and pair of Sitka Stormfront Pants (retails for $549. Sitka Gear | Turning Clothing Into Gear) both of which are size Medium. Neither have ever been worn. I need to sell these because they...

I feel like there is just too much potential for shooter error when we are talking about such small numbers. Even with a lead sled I can't accurately replicate those shots, and I understand you're point about shooting a whole group and maybe looking at an average. I think I may have unlocked...

I agree that it should be capable of providing a solution beyond the ranges I'm describing. I just calculated the elevation correction as 0.93023256 meaning that my scope could have click values representing only ~93% of a true click. This is based on just one observation taken at 800 yards, and...

Please only respond to this thread if you have knowledge of advanced ballistics and/or experience with Sean Kennedy's Shooter Ballistics App. Background Info: I shoot a Christensen Arms 300 RUM. I am using a Schmidt & Bender 4-16 x 42 PM II LP scope with single turn 0.1 mrad click values. I...

COHunter14, I apologize it has taken me so long to respond. To answer you question directly, the adjacent side of the triangle which is the horizontal distance to the target is the distance most rangefinders give you when they compensate for the angle. I say most because very high tech...

There is a ton of information out there on how to shoot at angles, but a lot of it seems to be either incredibly technical, flat wrong, or just not comprehensive enough. In a quest to make the topic of how to compensate for steep angles more approachable I just published a piece that can be...

Unsuccessful for pronghorn and deer. Successful drawing either sex elk tag for last rifle season.

I shoot a 300 RUM with a custom load. Scope wise, I use a Schmidt & Bender PM II. I always dial both elevation and windage (my turrets are mil/mil, but moa vs. mil is just personal preference), so I'm holding dead center. I have a tactical mil hash reticle, so, for shorter distances, if I'm in a...

I just purchased a pair of Swaro El Range's in the 10 x 42 because I was in the market for both new binos and a rangefinder. Having never owned Swaro glass before, I can tell you that even if I didn't need the range finding features the glass alone would lead me to purchase their binos alone. I...

I'm a beginner long range shooter, and I'm doing my best to self-teach myself and validate everything on the range and in the field. I've read everything I can get my hands on with respect to marksmanship (what I'm talking about here is the entire process from setting up my rifle to pulling the...

I'm new to backpack hunting, so I wasn't sure if most of you were using some sort of weather sleeve to keep your gun and scope out of the water if it rains or snows. It sounds like today's equipment is weatherproof to the point that you don't need to worry much about whether your gun and scope...

I was curious what type of gun sleeve or other protection device people are using to keep their rifles protected from the elements while backpacking when your rifle is attached to your backpack.
