My club had a WW2 Bolt Rifle Match yesterday, and I shot my 1903 Springfield. We shot a variation of the National Match course, with 10 rounds off hand in 10 minutes, 10 rounds sitting in 90 seconds, 10 rounds prone in 2 minutes, finishing with a 20 round slow prone stage. I [...]

The Perfect AR?
Posted in Guns on March 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Do you want an AR with moderate recoil but an effective range comparable to that of .308? I learned recently that that is not a pipe dream. What you’re looking for is the 6.5 Grendel.
Based on the highly accurate 6PPC, the 6.5 Grendel lets you use heavier (but shorter) 140 grain 6.5mm bullets [...]
I’ve been shooting my VTR a lot, but I’m also looking to add another semi-automatic rifle to my collection. Right now, I have a few Garands and an AR (which I shoot almost exclusively for CMP-style matches) so I’m thinking of getting something smaller. Some of the options I’ve considered so far are:

If you like going prairie dog hunting in ninja outfits, this is apparently the rifle for you (well, not sure ninjas are tactical, but you get the idea). Anyway, let’s take a closer look at this ninja rifle.
What happens when you shoot a can?

Duh. The can goes flying spectacularly, of course!
Well, that’s what I expected when I shot tin cans with my Remington 700 VTR at the local range, and boy, was I disappointed. Now, I’m not a great marksman, but I’d just spent an hour or so consistently shooting <2 MOA groups at 100yds, so [...]
