Ed Eckhoff is hosting a Rimfire Seminar and Familiarization shoot this
Sunday at 7:30 at the silhouette range. There will be an informal shoot
at paper and reactive targets from 40 to 200 meters immediately
following the seminar. $15 payable at the silhouette range.

This is prep for the Nor-Cal Rimfire Tactical matches starting in 2009.
This should be a great way to practice slung prone and the other
unsupported shooting positions. Also if you have any rifle or equipment
questions I'm sure Ed or other participants will be able to answer them.
Bring what you have.

Call Ed directly at 530-661-6018 or cell: 530-681-2447 if you have any
questions.

Please logon to our online forum @

http://www.ncpprc.com/forum/phpBB3/index.php

Look under General Discussions for the thread on the Sierra Group Buy.

Prices are listed on the thread.

I will take orders up to the beginning of November and be asking for
payment then as well.

Just keep in mind you have to be a paid member of NCPPRC to participate
in this group buy.

Thanks,

Vu

Do you know how to range with mildots? Do you have a mildots master? I can take the Leupold off my Remmy since I'm not shooting that for the match, and you could use the scope just for the ranging exercises. I agree with the others, do not try to change scopes now. But the Loopy is available either way.

 

If you're anywhere near Shingle Springs / Folsom, I could get it to you tomorrow so you can practice ranging with it.

 

Give me a call in the a.m. at 916-718-4112. I'll take it to work with me.

 

Rob Thomas

Subject: [TacticalLRShooting] weekend match

Hello everyone,
Is there anyone that can help me out. I'm in the match this weekend and
I looked at the COF from last year and have no way of figuring out how
to measure multiple distances with the scope that I'm using. I always
use a range finder when I'm out in the field. LRFs will not be allowed
on that stage. I do not have or use a mil dot scope, the scope that I
have been using is a 9 x 18 Leupold 3 with deplex reticle. If anyone
has a mil dot spotting scope that I can borrow for the match that would
be very appreciated. If anyone has any ideals please feel free to let
me know.
Thanks
Keith

Roger that! Don't mess with your scope at this stage in the game...

If the rules allow it, one possible solution would be binoculars or a
spotting scope with a Mildot reticle. If somebody's got a Mildot
scope that not attached to a rifle, you could even use that. Or ask
for an exemption to use somebody else's rifle for that stage.

Last year, the optical ranging stage was a non-firing stage. So you
might not need Mildots that go "Bang!"

I'll be thinking of you guys...

Have fun!

Richard.

P.S. The "Shooter Ready" computer game is good training for Mildot
ranging. You can get it at: http://www.shooterready.com/

web site listed above.

Thanks!

Shawn,

I was reading up on the .260.  Looks like a great round.  The reason I was
leaning towards
the.308 was tha quality ammo was plentiful and most production tactical rifles
were
chambered in this cartridge.

May I ask what prompted you to go with a .260?

Thanks.

Bill

to get in
deep he should just jump into a custom and be done with it.  This takes out a
lot of
frustration of wondering if it is your equipment that is "off" or you.   Don't
forget to budget
for glass.  Leupold Mark 4s, Nightforces, USO, S&B are the norm out there. Vu

Thanks Ron and  Vu for the quick response.  Just wondering what most of the
local
shooters in Sacto area were using.  What are some popular rifles?

Vu, I will definitely sign up on the norcal site.

Hi,

I just joined and am interested in LR shooting.  Can I ask what some of you guys
recommend
for a rifle?  I was looking into the AI AE or the Sako TRG.  Also I read an
article on Kimber's
new Tactical rifle.

Thanks and I look forward to joining you guys at future shoots.

Bill

Guys,

We will hopefully be switching to a different server this weekend and
the forum may have some down time.

Subject: [TacticalLRShooting] SKS reassembly help

Hi group,
  Can you help me brainstorm how to put the sks trigger assembly back.  Yes, the safety was on and the magazine is attached firmly, but I cannot push the darn thing back to hear that "CLICK".  Any idea?

Thanks,

Wayne

Chamber and magazine empty.

Hammer cocked.

Safety on.

 

Turn rifle upside down and put the rear of the receiver cover on a table/counter (preferably on a block of wood), and push down hard on the trigger guard.

 

I just did with mine after getting your email to make sure it works. The spring is pretty stiff.
