    Scope Height vs. Cheek Weld ?

    @Laphroaig There’s many things the army taught me. Some of it continues to apply today. Much of it I had to un-learn. Applying a firm cheek weld was one of them. Your “appeal to authority” fallacy aside, I argue that what’s best is determined through practice and observed results and what...

    Scope Height vs. Cheek Weld ?

    I said generally, knowing that there will be exceptions. Congratulations for finding one.

    Scope Height vs. Cheek Weld ?

    Would it surprise you to know that many of us do both? Accuracy techniques apply universally. Even off hand competitors that shoot Across the Course matches aren’t generally advocates of a firm cheek weld

    Scope Height vs. Cheek Weld ?

    It may seem that way but we’re talking about fine tuning, not corse adjustments. For example, I recently shot this at 200 yards in preparation for a 600 yard F Class match. 20 shots each. I was making adjustments to my interface with the rifle on the left target, noting the effect and...

    Scope Height vs. Cheek Weld ?

    I’ve noticed many F Class shooters (more of them recently) that are either removing their cheek riser or have a stock relieved to prevent cheek contact with the stock. I’ve tried it but didn’t see any appreciable benefit. My preference is to have a cheek riser set to the same height and just...

    Auto trickler v4

    My FX120 with Autotrickler is probably the 2nd best reloading purchase I’ve ever made, just behind my Dillon 650.

    Would it make any sense to do this?

    I don’t remember off the top of my head. Google 223 ISSF reamer print and take a look. It’s enough to use the 90 VLDs

    An ISSF chamber, straight taper, 30” is what you want

    Would it make any sense to do this?

    I’d say the odds are good on that being the case. My Savage factory barrel on top (as you say, they do tend to shoot small) and the Shilen on the bottom.

    Would it make any sense to do this?

    I’m with @Varminterror on this one. 6BR trumps 6.5 Creed. I never see a 6.5 on the F Class line. If it’s just to get more practice in and do it economically you have the .223 for that. And if you’re just worried about burning out the 6.5x284, well, you haven’t burned it out yet so why retire...

    Scopelist.com Good to Go?

    If I’m buying retail I use these folks exclusively. https://www.sportoptics.com/ They’re a no BS company that will often have what you’re looking for less than everyone else. If not, they’ll knock some off the price to get your business.

    Caliber selection for small frame hunter

    .243 After all, it was designed for women, children and frail men. (I’m just needling @FL-NC 😆)

    The supply of nitrocellulose has been shaky since the pandemic.
