They are expensive as all heck, but I use the Spartan precision bipod. If you haven't heard of them, check them out. I used to use Harris, then switched to atlas, about 3-4 years ago I gave the Spartan a try and for me I haven't been happier with its magnetic attachment system. I have the...

When considering bullets, you also need to consider where you generally like to shoot/impact your animal. If we are talking steel it doesn't matter. Different bullet designs have different capabilities. Your monolithic bullets like Hammer/Barnes etc are much harder and will perform totally...

This has happened to a couple of times once was because I didn't have the brass resized appropriately. Neck triming a thou too long, something along the lines of case dimensions. The chamber itself might be a little tight, so a second firing makes the brass a little sticky. One time I had a bur...

Hey all, I'm interested in getting involved/competing/learning about an NRL Hunter style match/sniper challenge. I've done a considerable amount of hunting and shooting over the years. I have my own private range with targets out to 1 mile and will regularly run/hike through the range for...

You are on the right track my friend for hunting. My experience is from a precision background, I have the fortune of being able to shoot on my own private range with steel out to 1mile. My bench rifle has the Vortex razor gen 3 with 6-36 on it. I'm only ever using the magnification beyond 20x...

Run the Vortex diamondback tactical. 4-12x40. Super simple, falls under that price point, backed by the industry's best warranty (I've used it and the C.S. is legit.) The 4-12 will get you out to 1,000 for sure. Weighs in at 16.2oz. I put this scope ony grandfather's 6.5 creedmoor 3 years ago...

I own both the 6ix and 8ight in steel. 8 is great on sound suppression, 6is great for light weight and takes the edge off. I'm definitely going to save the Penny's for that 6+ in titanium, best of both worlds I'd guess. If shot other cans with the same dimensions with good results on sound. The...
