Ha Ha! In the civilized shooting sport of IBS the closest we get to the 1000yrd down range target is sitting at the bench. They hang the target and put out clay pigeons for sightseers on the bank in-between targets. When shooting is completed the targets are pulled and scored with the winning...
I use a Area 419 bag plate for shooting NRL 22 with a Cole dbag and I like it for shooting off ladders/ barricades.
For varmint hunting I just use a tripod clamped to the ARCA it works standing ,seating or kneeling if need be .
Vortex Razor ,HD . Liberty optics has them for 1799 when you add it to the cart.https://www.libertyoptics.com/contents/en-us/d128.html.
AO in Atlanta also had them on sale .
A lot of improvements have or are being made at the Red White and Blue Range for 2021. Some are complete and others will be completed in the next few months . Tom hasn’t stopped since the last match in 2020 and words cannot explained how much time and effort he has put into this range to make it...
I have one set up as a loner for friends that want to night hunt .There are definitely settings in the drop down menu that improve the lag time on the Sionyx.It works well for hunting inside of 100yds.It is also capable of video and camera mode. I will also say it is not a replacement for the...
There's a long discussion about the Sionyx over on Ar15.com in the armory section/night vision. For $399 and a $40ir flashlight you still have money for a bump helmet and IR laser (look at perst 1 for $150ish) the perst3&4 have more features but are more money.
Friends don't let friends buy ATN. The customer service is a big issue when needed.
For hunting I have found a helmet mounted like a pvs14 and ir laser to work much better than rifle mounted. With a mounted scope you are constantly scanning with a loaded rifle and it is difficult to navigate...
The early 180 series has a roller on the bolt,the newer model just has a stub.
My 180 series is more accurate than the current model I own but it is more difficult to mount a scope.
Ya popin primers is not good ,I would notify the manufacturer of the issues and request my money back. If this was a productive screwup they need to know the lot numbers to do some testing on.You might also want to inspect your bolt face and firing pin hole. I have seen the face burned/scared...
Hey MrJim if it was a friend asking about the 300 I would tell him to skip it.I have one in an SBR and it is great for my wife to hunt with but if you really want performance in the AR 15 platform go checkout the 6.5 Grendel it is the most capable round short to midrange.
DD builds 6.5g and if...
Scanning through a scope can be a pain when hunting,I was much happier when I went helmet mounted monocular. I have a the first gen Sionyx the newer sport is cheaper https://store.sionyx.com/products/aurora-sport.It needs an IR flashlight and ir laser. It's not as good as my PVS 14 but it's only...
Congrats on getting out there . If you had fun with less then ideal equipment it gets better.
One suggestion now that you have confirmed 600yd zero take the rifle to the range and with a strip of butcher paper (aprox 4' long)make an aim point at the bottom and shoot it at 100yds. This will allow...
