Yup used to learn a lot on here. Focused on true long range hunting. Lots of good people sharing factual information.

it was when long range was more than 50 ft past the swing set in the backyard of their half acre mowed lot. we had a lot more treads and true discussions and a lot less facebook/twitter type responses that have pushed so many into silence.

Wow!

I also learnt a ton from all the old timers and appreciated their knowledge. I don't post any longer but ended up buying a .375 AM and .338 AM from Kirby and have taken several long range mule deer, antelope and elk with them. Amazing pioneers!

Agreed! Kirby is about half an hour's drive away from me. He does not post as frequently anymore, but when he does, he teases us all with gun porn.

Very impressive..

So why can't we start over and post videos and still shots ..... say 800 yds plus? These can be kill shots or targets with info. There's always something new to be learned in this game.

This Youtube video popped up this morning in my feed as a 15 year old bit of history.

Am I seeing 4 rings on that nightforce?

Yes 4 rings, two are pushed forward against the rail and two pushed against the rear of the scope rail. This is to counter act the two forces of the initial recoil then the opposite recoil of the brake. Kirby came up with this to prevent the scope from moving on big braked magnums. If you look on his site you will see some rifles set up this way. I bed the rings on the rail as well as the rail on the receiver and scope in the rings. All it takes is having any piece of the system move and you will be chasing your tail until you get it figured out.

That video brings back a flood of memories! A couple of years prior Shawn had built me a .338 Edge. I took his LR class, and rembered how that had changed my paradigm, forever!! Awesome people, great friends and fantastic memories. Thanks for sharing this Len! BTW- I still have the .338 Edge, although it has become a "safe-queen".
