  1. If you're shaky, 1-8x seems like shooting from a rowboat in high seas. Does it hold zero? After a ride from stupid 3 GN suv in the mud with Becky sitting on your gun. If the the Army doesn't use it, probably not a great three gun scope. It's for hunting.

  2. There were 3 JM Pro's in my squad at the Ft Benning match and they all ran without any issues. Old news. The Stoeger vent rib is blank-flat, glares a lot. I wouldn't shoot one if you paid me-well maybe-but I'd stick a Stoeger sticker on my Benelli. If you're left handed -no contest-JM Pro. Try them both. Make your own choice. If you send a Stoeger to MOA, you are then negating the cheap cost of buying a Stoeger in the first place. Buy a Benelli and do your own work. It's gunsmithing, not rocket science.

  3. This match was excellent. The gold standard of 3 Gun matches. The AMU made beautifully designed and constructed stages that tested all skills. The Match Director set the bar very high for future match directors, here or anywhere. The ROs were superb beyond all previous groups I have seen at any match anywhere. The AMU has matured and developed to such a high degree they have become the pinnacle of shooter training and now, of running a 3 gun match. After this, any match will have to be measured against it. An amazing, outstanding bit of work.

  4. Ft. Benning 3 Gun last weekend had a number of slung rifle stages, including climbing a wall with slung rifle and an unloaded pistol, then going on hands and knees under wire to get to shooting position. And one where you run out of rifle bullets and transition to pistol in a shoot house. And the rifle stayed slung. All were really excellent, competitive stages, and no safety issues were noted. Dirt in a barrel isn't necessarily a problem. Slinging a rifle is an art, in a way. It should be practiced. It's 2015,and uh, rifle shooting has progressed, and slings are important. Some slings suck and should be avoided. Some are just right. Learn to sling and unsling your rifle. Maybe if the match director can't use a sling very well, they should leave that out of the match. Having very competent ROs who are used to slung rifles is also necessary. The rifle slinging at Ft. Benning was integral to the running of the stage and not just an add on to have a "slung rifle stage". Competitors were given notice and a suggestion to practice with their slings prior to the match. We had loaded guns slung on one stage at Ft. Benning, so never is not operative.

    The best way to sling a rifle is two-point over your shooting shoulder, with the ability to loosen or tighten it with an easily grabbed tab. There are a couple of brands of best of kind. You can push it way to the rear if you want it really out of the way, but the best sling holds your rifle in a position where it is out of the way, but can be easily mounted to shoot.
