    2 reviews of the new Vortex PST.

    Pretty sad, after reading through 47 posts of drivel, I have learned the following: #1/ one new owner guesses ( didn't have a NF handy to compare) that it's close enough to a NF to make people think really hard given the price difference. #2/ an IOR was judged superior by one tester. # 3/ if one...

    Coated bullets

    Well, then I would have to disagree (respectfully).....but according to Jarretts website : "many national shooting championships have been won with Jarrett rifles as well as 16 world records in benchrest competitions". I knew Jarrett had some involvement in BR but didn't realize he was such a...

    Coated bullets

    Gonna hafta agree with Kenny J. on this one.................provided he's talking about the Tubb Final Finish System....or whatever it's called......you know the one with grit on the bullets.

    2011 Bench Rest Quiz

    Next to green lasers, I agree with flags (performance improvement wise), then the Net -kept many from re-inventing the wheel

    Laser for setting flags

    Since I'm the one who bought the "blind pilots" into the discussion, I was a skeptic of how this tiny laser could be capable of blinding a pilot hundreds of yards away. Apparently, it actually creates real havoc , yes even on the jumbos, because the beam gets wider with distance and when it...

    A few more thoughts on world records

    From what I have heard is that the paper produced years ago was of much better quality than that from today's mills. Those old paper mills are long gone and unlikely to return (due to EPA?). I do know the IBS changed target suppliers recently, because they offered a better grade of paper....and...

    Laser for setting flags

    You have not read the links posted. Lasers can do damage without you realizing it initially. You can shine flashlights and take flash photos at aircraft all you want, there is a reason there is a law prohibiting lasers directed at aircraft, the concentrated beam can travel several hundred yards...

    Laser for setting flags

    Some info I found on the web ( not wikipedia). The FDA has stated retina damage may occur when exposed to a class IIIa 5 mw laser at 10' or less. Even though laser products are required to label their products , devices randomly checked have exceeded their labeled output. Despite laws limiting...

    Laser for setting flags

    I have seen one or two lasers set-up at matches last year, and assumed they were entirely harmless. However, apparently this may not be true ( I wouldn't trust the listed specs on a product made in China). In reading these posts my first impression was: how can they affect you when your setting...

    I want to talk about the 22ppc .100 a little bit.

    Lee-What seems to help is to post the targets with the development notes. A lot of times much is lost is the translation. I also record conditions each group was shot under.Humidity levels ( the air of late has been super-dry) mirage? (in winter this can be a bear) I usually head out to most...

    Primer dents

    I think that wear is a big problem with the cheaper units, the Lee seems to have pot metal in the linkage..... you would think that the components used in the K&M, Sinclair, and 21st Century would last a lifetime....although periodically lubing the linkage points would be a good idea.

    Primer dents

    Some are of the opinion ( not me) that the primer needs a slight crush for optimum results. I upgraded to a K& M from a Lee Auto Prime last year. I like the greater sensitivitity. As for having to handle the primers, I believe it takes a lot to render the primer compound inert.

    OK ..... where does one start

    Sulphyr Springs, PA, Bowmanstown, PA, Painted Post, NY., Mainville, PA, Canastota, NY Where do you hail from? There's a club in Vermont I believe. Actually, if you are concentrating on Score Shooting, the viable clubs are Caledonia, VT, Sulphyr Springs, Bowmanstown, and York ....all in PA, and...

    30xc

    The IBS Varmint Hunter class has no case volume restriction, therefore the 30BR is legal for Short Range BR competition other than group. I campaigned a 6 PPC built on a 700 action for several years in this 6x class. It is the only class I have collected wood with at a G.A. Tournament...'07 PA...

    What to do when someone doesn't deliver on a sale?

    So the perp operates from the notorious "Hide"...........my one experience with that site's classifieds has left me avoiding it like the plague.......matter of fact I avoid the forum there also.....too many members show traits of the "tin hat" brigade.

    CNN Magazine Capacity Poll

    Well, it has been my experience that the SWAT wannabe's are slobs who are jeopardizing safety at the local ranges.....the very clubs that provide them with a place to shoot their rapid fire wonders. They have no incentive to pick up those cheap military steel cases, or the increasingly popular...

    Lt. Varmint vs Hvy. Varmint

    Scope on, lens caps removed and mirage shield can be removed for weighing. The bbl contour is the major factor.Weight by certified scales.

    Cleaning rod question

    Not opinion, it's a fact. A local shooter here had one snap and still suffers from tendon damage to his hand.....ever see how jagged and splintery a CF rod looks after snapping? I have posted this on several forums in the past, but some still argue that CF rods are the best thing going. Also, if...

    Accurate Shooter Web Site

    I think you mean ALLIED Shooters. I tried 2 years ago to purchase something on the website, and gave up. I haven't seen him on the BR circuit for quite some time. I heard rumors, but they may be just that. Not sure where the Accurate Shooter connection comes from....I've only seen Allied...
