    Raining in the Bivy Sack

    Recomend a fixed magnification scope for load developement? Must handle recoil!

    Get a Bushnell 3200 Elite Tactical 10x40 Centerfire Rifle Scopes | Rifle Scopes | Optics $200 at Midway. I have 2. They work fine for me.

    ever hear of this?

    Some ranges have found out the hard way that rounds landing short will skip over the berm and land in the neighbors yard.

    New from Minnesota

    I am returning to long range shooting after a few years off (42). Retired now so I have time and no one to tell me I can't go somewhere for the weekend or week. I shoot 30-06, 6.5x55 and 6.5 Creedmoor.
