FTR Classic medium and long range shooting is interesting. A maximum score is 61 10X which means at 600 yards all 10 counting shots have landed inside the 1/2 moa (3"diameter) ring. A score of 60...

Owen's buddy, Nolan, got a deer tag in a hard to hunt area of N Central Nevada. My grandson had a little local knowledge about the area, but not a lot. They went to the rugged Desatoya mountains and...

Gidday folks Over the last few years I've been thinking a lot about my family - who on my maternal side arrived in the Nelson area in the early 1850s. By the 1860s they had acquired land and were...

I'd also suggest you keep hold of the Leupold, nice as a back up and cost too much to replace it. Couldn't agree more. That is actually my scope, the rifle came with a 4x Nikko on it. The Leupold is...

Just for a bit of context, this is a 5 shot group I shot the other day with factory ammo. Would have been 30-45 seconds at the most. Once I’m comfortable I just shoot, no mucking around for any...

I use a 3-15 power weaver super slam as my general scope, not the lightest thing around but covers everything from up close to 500m no worries. I'd be another vote for something with a 3 power bottom...
