Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. Kind of sucks the way Trijicon doesn't include any useful documentation with these. There's a thread over on ARFcom that might be useful to you. I still haven't figured out the purpose of the horseshoe. Except maybe to help guide your eye to the dot...? I ASSume the reticle is calibrated in meters for M855 from a 21" BBL (M249). I think I'm going to set mine up so the "4" reflects either 400yds or 400m (haven't decided yet) with M193 and then just shoot it to get a feel for where everything else lines up. Targets at our local matches tend to be in the 200yd - 400yd range, which is sort of a wasteland with this reticle.
  2. Stage 9. You had to pull the rope to release the first bird. The first couple of people had some difficulty with it, so the RO told me to make sure I pulled it HARD. I pulled. Nothing. I pulled harder. Nothing. I pulled really hard....and the rope slipped through my fingers and gave me a rope-burn. Turns out the rope had gotten tangled around something and couldn't be pulled. Hoser re-routed and adjusted the thrower. All was well after that. Except my hand. Mike
  3. The first stage on the first day "bit" me. Kind of messed me up for a while. I guess that's what I get for having such soft hands. It was a fun match and you can't beat the location (for me). I'd do it again. Mike
  4. This was my first major match. Didn't really know what to expect. I honestly still don't understand the whole issue with the shooter being accused of using an auto-sear. He wasn't. End of story. I don't get it.... I had a lot of fun. I wasn't, however, very impressed with the RO's on Stage 4 on Saturday evening. My squad started at 4:35pm. Last stage of the day. Not sure when we finished, but it was late in the day. I understand everyone was tired and wanted to go home. Still no excuse for the calls they made and the way they ran things. Otherwise, again, I had a lot of fun. Locally I don't shoot a lot of shotgun. I was surprised how many stages featured shotgun targets. I guess if I had to pick, I'd rather have fewer shotgun stages with more targets than having a couple shotgun targets on 8 of 11 stages. Mike
  5. Yeah, the space above is why I don't think I could fit it where my RL550B resides, even if I wanted to. So I'm thinking it would fit on about a 2' wide x 1' deep "bench". Mike
  6. I was told a corner would be best for the Super 1050. I've maybe got 3 to work with. 2 in the "pantry", and one in the garage. The "pantry" isn't technically climate-controled, but it is more-so than the garage. If I go with the "pantry", that gives my wife an excuse for accordion doors, new floor covering, new wall-covering and more shelves. Using the garage would simply mean relocating a shelving-unit or two.
  7. I've had my RL550B set up in a spare closet since 9/04. I'm currently loading 9mm, 38 Special, 40 S&W, 41 Mag, 44 Mag, .223 and 260 Remington. Just bought a submachine gun and Super 1050 to feed it. I don't think the Super 1050 would even fit in my loading-closet if I took the RL550B out, and honestly I think I'd rather just leave the RL550B alone and continue to load the other calibers with it. I just want to set the Super 1050 up in a corner of the garage or in the 7'x20' area we call our "pantry" and load 9mm only. Just need enough space to mount it securely and pull the handle. How much space would that be? Mike
  8. Here's what I'm planning for local matches this year. Remington 700P LTR. 24" Lilja barrel in 260 Remington Bennie Cooley brake Badger alloy 20MOA base Badger alloy standard rings (.823) Leupold Mark 4 2.5-8x36mm M2 w/TMR reticle HS Precision detachable box magazine Badger bolt-knob Harris bipod w/Pod-Loc
  9. Is the LT139-1 different than the regular LT139? My LT139 is marked SPR-E. Mike
  10. I'd be "in" for a longer hammer-pin w/c-clips. Mike
  11. Both barrels are gone. I had the M15A4 barrel replaced with a JP & free-float tube. The 700P in 223 Remington was transformed into a 260 Remington with a Lilja barrel. Mike
  12. Just bought my first Limited gun and some magazines. I've noticed a lot of guys have little magazine-brushes that they run through the mag bodies to clear out sand. Some look like sponges, others like feather-dusters, and others look like nylon bore brushes. Who makes a good one, and where do I order from? Thanks, Mike
  13. I've got a custom AR-10 in .260 Remington as well. So far I've only been shooting out to 500yds, so I'm using 120gr SMK's. I have a 700P in .260 also and it gets Lapua 123gr Scenar's. I use VV N550 exclusively for each. Mike
  14. The ONLY ammo that will even function in mine is Remington Thunderbolt. I just ordered some Winchester Wildcat, Federal Champion, Federal Game-Shok and American Eagle .22 to test as well. Mike
