    HOW TO GET STARTED IN LONG RANGE BENCHREST

    In regards to this a scope with a reticle you can bracket a corner of the steel with is almost a necessity. You bracket a corner, take the shot and measure with your reticle as bracketed on the corner. This tells you whether you are hitting exactly where you're aiming or not and corrections can...

    2024 IBS 600 yard Nationals

    I've shot there plenty. I've never shot a match there or anywhere else that the range wasn't available for sight in the day before and it's just bad planning in my opinion not to get there (anywhere) at least the afternoon before to make sure your guns are on. I've traveled to many venues with...

    2024 IBS 600 yard Nationals

    I enjoy shooting over pits and don't mind the pit duty either but most ranges I shoot use steel for sighters and I'm fine with that also. My biggest win to date was at the 2022 Vapor Trail Long Range Rendezvous, 8 targets @ 600 and 8 @ 1000 alternating distances every trip to the bench with...

    2024 IBS 600 yard Nationals

    Including Tactical it was 3 days, not counting any practice/test day before that. Friday Tac Saturday LG Sunday HG I've never been to Piedmont so I don't know about the pits, I'm guessing no. I agree that a national should be multiple days and as many targets as possible.

    2024 IBS 600 yard Nationals

    Last weekend in Rutherford NC the Piedmont Gun Club hosted the IBS 600 yard Nationals I haven't seen an overall roster/headcount yet but I'm betting it was anywhere from 50 to 100 shooters. Saturday Day 1 had Samuel Hall came out on top in LG winning the score and overall championships and...

    chasing a wildcat 6.5 gt

    2880 +/- has almost always been a wider more forgiving node than the faster stuff in my guns. I always look all the way up through 2900 but usually wind up <2900

    chasing a wildcat 6.5 gt

    Yeah I've got one of Alex's 4" low stocks on a Bat B as well. Shoots/tracks extremely well. The 4" is a very good platform all I'm saying is there's a lot of benefits in getting lower.

    chasing a wildcat 6.5 gt

    I've experimented with sleds quite a bit. The biggest problem with them is stability gained in width is usually offset by the gain in height giving some advantage back to the gun. The higher the bore off the bag the more it's leveraged by barrel torque. Take 1/2" material off the bottom of the...

    Leupold 16x high brown gloss scope

    Anyone tell me anything (value) on this scope? It has what I'd call a very high (wet look) brown gloss. Nice capped mini turrets and a fine cross hair, no dot. Straight 16x Has a few light ring marks, scratches etc. nothing serious.

    ibs long range nationals aug 10/12

    It was a nice well run match. Saturday my guns were on the big side so I made some changes and they tightened up Sunday. I'd like to get a do over on my last target Sunday but really can't complain about my overall outcome. It was fun to shoot with the MT boys again.
