I think your mostly on the right track. I dont think we were the catalyst though. I simply think its a matter of whos sitting the the seats that decide such things right now that are pushing their agenda.

How much of this are we going to tolerate?

2 pieces of info needed. As Ty indicated, we need to know intent. Secondly, we need to know budget. Withouth either of these key pieces of info Im going to take a stab in the dark anyway and suggest the SWFA SS 3x9.

I wanted to keep it really simple. This is the route I took. Its a Mini Chest rig from Maxpedition.

Thank you! From the very last person

Since your drinking the FN coolaid, the FNP is a must!

No, ammo is the biggest , @ $120 a box of 20, its the largest part of the equation for my precision rifle. I know, I know, reload. Im just not that comfortable yet reloading for a rifle cartridge in the 90 grains of powder realm! And in the context of a semi, shooting 20, slow, for this type of shooting is better on the wallet than 200 running and gunning

If theres no mud to crawl around in, we will have to make some

What kind of mounting points do you have on your rifle, I might have one I can bring for you.

" If you don't have a sling that means you will be shooting the pistol one handed, while the other holds your rifle." Which would make a pistol reload an interesting affair

Hey I got this really cool T1 Micro and mount in the consol of my car. Ya want it?

I think its an LE perspective. More than one dept got glocks in, suffered a rash of ND's and then bought something with an external safety

Man, I use my punch set A LOT. Even post build. Id recomend getting a good set from Brownells. Its worth it.

Having a tank takes the sport out of it!

AND EASIER ON AMMO COSTS!!!

To add to Glenn's coments, which round and at what elevation are relevant but if you can drive the bus 800 meters is what I had in mind. As Glenn said, its a limitation of the round dropping through the transonic state and at what distance that occurs.

The greatest challenge you will face is not likely with mechanical accuracy. It will be with wind call. When you start opening up to say 500 yards, thats a good amount of distance for the wind to interact with your projo. Look at a drift chart for 308. Look how far off the target you will be with evan a minimal wind call error. 10 mph cross wind @ 500 yds is, what, around 2 feet? Miss the call by 5 mph and your a foot off the target. So in my mind the paramount skill is accurate wind call for LR shooting. A 1.5 moa gun is still within 7.5 inches @ 500 yds. A 2 moa rifle is 10". Wind drift can pull you off over 2 feet. See what Im saying?

You need to define accuracy parameter. Sub MOA? Minute of man? Barrel length has little to do with accuracy.

Just got a mini chest rig for sat

Overlays, how old school Heres what I use. http://www.ontargetshooting.com/

Damnit Bob every time you post, it makes me hungry!

You forgot the extra charge for the extra feature to have a G36 that sags if left on its side after a few hearty FA strings

Benches are for bench rest shooters! Shoot off the deck with that tac rifle! You need the grip of the rubber feet to load the bipod.

Is it 1997 again?
