This is the stuff i live for now long range shooting tactical shooting a ton to learn and it is FUN! so 98 tell me about the equipment you are using gun ,bags, scope and how you are using it I know I have learned to shoot the right target with the right dope make a huge difference on the score LMAO...

Welcome from the rez.. Love the flat dark earth ...

Ok my two arrowheads, 6.5 CM and 308 both in ten lb guns do not have much at all for recoil, it just does not exist so you are worrying about something that really is nothing. If it is not going to be a long range weapon then it is a waste of caliber on the CM the 308 can be a very good combat rifle and long range weapon but you need to choose the direction you are going. if long range is your goal then you have to learn to shoot prone and there is a ton of stuff to learn but one thing many over look is the rifles buttstock and how it acts when it recoils you do not want catchy sling swivels a or anything on the part that rests on the bag you want that to recoil straight back and when you get that combo right you can watch the vapor trail of your bullet and it's impact... that is like a hallelujah moment to learn that skill because it all comes together after that. I have friends who think they can shoot long range without going prone Ha! BS yes you can make a shot once in a while but you are never rock solid I still struggle with being comfortable i have to make myself be that way but once there you can sleep, wake up and the scope is still on target...I shoot a bolt gun at all my matches 6.5x284 Norma it is a 6.5 CM on steroids but my next project is a 6.5 CM gas gun and that is what I will shoot next year.. hopefully but all that I have learned from bolt guns has transferred to hunting very well as I use a 308 Gas gun in the 10 lb range with ammo and extras I have killed a lot of elk deer and bears with it the weight is welcomed when I am shooting animals at 300 400 etc then after the animal is down is when I wished it weighed 5 lbs lol good luck.

Yes the last two weeks have been in the 70's and low 80's and we have had rain sky's are clear around here for a change still have fingers crossed as we are not out of the woods yet but it is much better , those planes are impressive.....

SHTF... ? so are we SHTF from government collapse, or are we SHTF from extinction event or pandemic ? so in other words are we being combat ready or survival mode? Combat ready.. it is 5.56 all the way you can carry twice as much 5.56 as you can 308 now if you are over watch 308 or whatever caliber you like for long range add to that 22lr and maybe shotgun for me no shotgun it is not a weapon you will carry everyday but with a 22lr you can hunt and carry lots of ammo but my point is there is a huge difference between running and gunning and digging in in the mountains and feeding yourself, I also think it is foolish to think you are going to stay home unless you have huge support...

Elvis has left the building!

I shoot a ton of 6.5 bullets both from Creedmoor and 6.5x284 Norma H4350 is your friend with both Calibers in creedmoor I shoot 43 grains at 2810 with 140 ELD sd of 8 now that is in a bolt gun, you will most likely drop a grain or so in a gas gun any one who reloads knows start lower and work up all of them are different. all I do is shoot long range steel matches and shoot rocks etc when I hunt and I do it a lot i use a 308 gas gun 16 inch barrel with 168 TTsx barnes bullets if you want to know any particulars about either just ask... P.S. these guns are heavy I mean heavy put a can on the end and they get long and heavy so choose wisely for the guns purpose that is why I use 16 inch barrel on my hunting rifle with can it is then 24 inches...

This world is really upside down and it is going to take a monster effort to right the ship.... we were in town yesterday shopping for groceries I sit in the Jeep while the other half does the shopping I am a people watcher, I never got it before yesterday 90 percent of people are FAT! I mean really fat they can not fight nor would they ever even think about it I saw maybe 10 guys who could if they had to we have become Fat ,lazy, and stupid just watch the next time you are at the store, it is truly sad.....
